SMimite f^amie^ Hf *Vom9»Whi t fii . EDGAR ALLAN POE IHie Poet Who Married a Child and Got Ten Dollars for Ten Years’ Work Edgar Allan Po« was one of tli« most striking and romantic ganlnses that over wrote a sonnet or concocted a mystery. He was demined to stride like a mWan- okoly giant aernsa the pages of Amm^n llteratnre. Yet he was renored from the University of Ylrginia because of his wild pas sion for gambling'and drinking; Md later on, he was courtmar- tlaled and kicked out of West Point because he ignored all rules and sat in. his qnarters writing poetry when he ought to have been out on the parade ground drilling with a gun. Poe was left an orphan early in life, and adopted by a rich to bacco merchant. Finally, even this merchant turned against his NOTICE OP PMl*CLOSUBE OF TAX MEW North Carolina, Wilkes County.

C.Hayes, 5-’0-4t(T) Clerk Superior Court adopted son,* beat him with a cane, drove him out of the bouse, disinherited him, and refused to leave him a dollar lit his will. Tho story of Poe’s marriage is one of the most beautiful tales in literature. He married his first cousin, Virginia Clem. He had no money at the time. And he was twice as old as his young wife. He was twenty-six and she was thirteen. According to all the old copybook adages, his marriage should have ended in swift and sure disaster. But It didn’t. It was a romantic success. Poe ail but worshipped his child-wife of his, and bis undying love for her inspired some of the most ex quisite poetry that ever enriched the English language. Edgar Allan Poe spun stories and created verses that were de stined to he placed among the lit erary glories and treasures of the earth; and yet he couldn’t sell these immortal masterpieces for enough to buy bread. For exam ple, he gave the world “The Rav en,” a poem that has become Im mortal. Poe wrote and rewrote and re vised “The Raven,’’ and worked on It Intermittently for ten years; and yet he had to sell it for only ten dollars—a dollar for each year’s work. Up at the Grand Concourse, in New York, is the cottage where Poe and Virginia lived. When Poe rented the place nearly a century ago, it wa.s just an old shack a- bout to fall to pieces. He rented the place for three do'.lars a month; but he couldn't pay even bl t^rtlme pay atay ^ n'l wtth court couMn’t even buy Sometiiqes they and days' without ahvthing tf at .ill. When' the d.andeUona gan to bloom in the ’ yhrd, they picked them and boiled them ate dandelions, day after day.' _ ; For months before she died, Virginia lay on a, straw mattreee without enough clothing to keep her warm. WTien she became too cold, her mother rubbed her hands and Poe rubbed her feet. Poe covered her shivering brty with his old military cloak that he had worn at West Point, and at night, he coaxed the cat to sleep at her feet. Virginia died In January. Poe didn’t have enough money to bury her; and If It hadn’t been for the kindness of a neighbor, she would have been sent to Potter’s field. Months passed. Spring came, the moon rose over the apple trees and the stars twinkled on the western horizon, but Poe sat and dreamed and longed for Vir ginia; and out of that longing, he wrote the most beautiful love tribute that any man ever paid to his wife. For the moon never beams with out bringing me dreams of the beautiful Annabel Lee. And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes, of the beauti ful Annabel Lee. And so, all the nlght-tlde, I lie down by the side of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride. In her sepulchre there by the sea, In her tomb by the sounding sea. RADIO ^ . George H. Payne, a member of the Federal Communications Commission, recently charged that lobbyists had attempted to influence the decision of one of h 1 3 fellow-commissioners. H e charged that free competition is disappearing iu the broadcasting field and that the broadcasters seek the “spoils” rather than the production of beneficial pro grams. ATTENTIONnPoultpei) SECURITY FEEDS have been sold th?>oughout the Southeast for over 20 years. The de mand has increased year after year until today in practically every community you find Security Feeds. Years ago. Security Mills adopted the plan of manufacturing only quality feeds, and today the poultry- man who demands the best in feeds de mands Security. Security Mills own and operate their own laboratory and re search farm in order to give the poultiy- man the very best and latest discoveries in quality feeds. Today, on the market, you can buy dozens of brands of feeds, and at almost as many different prices, but we truly say that you cannot buy a better feed at any price than Security. PURLEAR, N. C. June 10, 1938 We have been raising chicks in a small way for two years, and have used several different brands of feed, but we tried the Secur ity Feeds last December and soon found such a difference we are still using it, and ex- l>ect to continue. Our hens laid 78 to 80 per cent., and our broilers averaged 2 1-2 pounds in 10 weeks. FINLEY C. WATTS Thk Quality In Security Mashes has been proven right at your door. Sev eral months ago tests were made on hun dreds of chicks in batteries, at the Blue Ridge Hatchery, to determine the feed which would give the chicks the greatets vitality, most rapid growth, and reduce the mortality to a minimum. In this trial over half a dozen of the most popular feeds on the Wilkes county market were tried. The chicks were accurately weighed when placed in the batteries and at the end of each trial, and Security Feeds won in every single trial. B jfi) (R) We are proud to state that we have sold during the month of April, 2520 bags of feed. During the month of May we stold 2880 bags of feed. If Security Feeds were not worth what we are asking for them, we could never have built such a demand in the six months we have been distribut ing this high quality feed. Give Security a trial and be convinced. If you are a customer already, do your neigh bor a favor by telling him about the results you are having. Ib this ad. are two testimonials from two well satisfied feeders of Security. They speak for themselves! OAKWOODS, N. C., June 1, 1938 To Whom It May Concern: We have been using Se curity Feed on our young chickens this past season and find we have had better re sults and more uniform growth from this feed, than any other brand of feed we have ever used. We have been raising chickens for the past fifteen years, and have used nine different brands of feed. MRS. C. H. OPITZ C. H. OPITZ WILKESBORO, N.
