O B S E RfATIO N S By Rambler. “What will women do next?” asked a citizen the other day. “I see in a paper that out in Alabama a schoool board, compo ed of wo:r.e% have ordered that all teachers, men and women must bob their hair I never heard of the Ike. I believe '1 it was fashionable, that some women would cut off their toes in order to make their smaller.” “My wife asked me the other night what I thought o p show people and those that ware here lest week in particular,” said a townsman. And she wanted to know if show people ’ ¥f eut to I told her I didn’t know bu t the man here last week had a mighty good show.” “People are not like they used to be,” remaiked an old gentleman. “Here is a ladv that is living in the same square with my wife, but she won’t visit her because my wife does not live in the same circle with this , l ad y* Why it is getting to be if you I don t belong to some society, you | are not in it. In my younger days 1 people were sociable and visited one another, but they don’t do it now. II One can obtain young onions now the year round. Never was civiliza | tion so high. II Clean teeth the right way I I —with a dentifrice that 1 does not scratch or scour. 1 & “Wash” your teeth clean \ COLGATE'S ••*** ♦ * ♦ * • • • * QUERY DEPARTMENT. * * Answers by John * * • ***♦* * ♦ * * * Will it ever come to pass that a pedestrian will either have a car or wings.—Laura, Bell’s school.. Answer —I expect so. Either way he will be traveling on high. n A doctor says that safety pins have killed more babies than fire arms. Is it true ? Julia, Bynum. Answer—Guess it’s a fact. Shoot ing babies with fire arms has long gone out of fashion. . Who wrote, “After the Bawl?” Daisy, Moncure. Ans.—lt was written by Halter Wanks for a baby after he had giv en it a stick of candy to make it stop crying. What is a jay walker? I have often heard the expression used. —Matilda, Siler City. Ans. —A jay walker, Matilda is a fool who walks acrooss the street and is struck by an automobile by a fool driver. He then is no longer a jay walker or any other kind, of a walker. I am an eighty five year old school girl and am terribly frightened. I have been told that the world is soon to come to an end, —School Girl, Cor inth. Answer —Don’t let any such stories frighten you. You will have plenty of time to bob your, hair, get married and live happy ever after. The world cannot come to an end any way.,-It is round. THE WISE OLD OWL TOLD ME Billy had just beqn presented with a fine violin by his daddy and was soon to begin taking lessons. He fondled and examined the new instru ment carefully. The two funny little openings beneath the strings of the violin interested him greatly. “Daddy what are these two holes here for? It seems to me the sound would be better if there weren’t any holes at all,” As usual, the Wise Old Owl was on • hand and interrupted before Billy’s father could even open his mouth to answer. “The S-shaped sound-holes are of the greatest importance in regulating the tone of the violin. Sodnds depend upon vibrations of the air, and if the air in the body of the violin had ro way of escape the tone would have a weak and muffled effect. “In the long history of the violin various tvpes of sound holes havfi been tried, but after long and labori ous experiment, Stradivarius (the greatest violin mrker in history) proved this particular shape best, and for the last two centuries the shape has been universally adopted.” Mighty few women can look well and be comfortable at the same time.

[ I have been trying to draw the atten tion of the good people of this coun- 1 ty, especiily the lady voters, (God ! bless them; I wish there were more of them,) to the fact that I have long been secretly at work to get this office ’ although I have heard that my old 1 friend Will Ward, was after the same office. I must say that Mr. Ward is ’ too young, (somewhere in the neigh borhood of 95 years,) to hold down & most responsible position as canal driver. I-have talked to that gentle man and tried to persuade him out of , the notion to run or walk for it. He | tells me that he is as good a demo crat as I am, a good party man, a good Bailey man and a good man anyhow, and that he wants the job, even if he does wear No. 11 shoes. He ssys he, wants an office; that he is bound to have an office as he is tired j of work and loafing about the coun try. There is no doubt but that my com petitor is a good man, is a handsome man and there’s where he has got me beat, if I do say it myself. I am sorry I was born so out of shape, but I couldn’t help being born that way, although I was there at the great ca lamity. If my ma and pa had been good looking people, I have no doubt but I would have been a handsome man. I have the advantage of Mr. Ward. I know Mr. Bailey and I know Mr. Morrison. He does not, and I have smaller feet than he has. Besides that I wash my feet now and then ard we do not know if he ever washes his'n. .Well, be as it may, I am going to do my darndest to get this job, and I have enlisted all the ladies in this section to help me out, and, ugly as I am, they say they will help me out. Now, I’ll see wHat my competitor is going to do, and if he begins to do too much, then I’ll use the money I hope to get from the Edwards estate but have no hope of it. in buying ice cream, peanuts and such for my con stituency. —— '""W ft NEWS NOTES FROM OAKLAND.

A sack of com that he had on the mules back was also nearbv. The mule returned to Mr. Thrift’s Saturday at noon and it was thought by those that gathered to look for him, that he died of *iaturtl causes so no inquest was held.
