We are glad to learn that Miss Ignorance about nature and farm life, which has caused so many guffaws at cKyites, is sometimes nearly equalled by their Illiteracy In ibooklsh mat ters. We "old country folks’’ In the "sticks’’ are not alone In our lack of any chronological knowl edge of history. There was the young woman from a West Vir ginia town, who not only looked on top of the mountain for the creek and old swimming hole, but asked If her great-great-grand- mother were not a daughter of President Benjamin Harrison. Now, President Benjamin Har rison, as we in the corn rows re call, was born In 1833, same year as the girl’s Confederate-sol dier-grandfather, and was obvi ously not the great-great-great- grandfather of a 31-year-old young woman. Then there was her sister who, albeit as old as Christ when He was crucified, married, and the mother of two little girls, asked. Doesn’t a cow give milk without finding a calf?’’ The meek little man was walk ing back from the funeral of his big and mast-rful wife.

Very naturally he obtained this calf at the old Tilley Place. And, more recently, Mrs. R. L. Johnson has had a little heifer that gave a similar amount of milk without freshen ing.

No one read "Gone With The Wind” with more dili gence or rapture, though I read it in 1938 Instead of 1936. In the small illustrations accompanying articles about Selznick’s picture, in The Ladies Home Journal, Red Book, and other magazines, Olivia de Haviland and Leslie Howard look Just as one would Imagine Melanie and Ashley Wilkes. But, after the years of search and expedlture of many small fortunes, Vivian Leigh seems to look like a girl of the period indeed, "pretty, gentle, and witty as any girl ever seen,’’ (to borrow from an antebellum song-hit “Our Girls” in Grand ma’s music album), but not very much like Scarlett of the vim, verve, and bewitching bedevil ment, who shattered a vase and captured Rhett. We don’t know anyone who loked like Scarlett, however, unless Bette Davis might a little in “Jezbel” or “Jaurez"—and one does not fan cy green-eyed Scarlett O’Hara wa.s pop-eyed like “The Old Maid” and Queen Elizabeth. (Our only ex-fiance says pop-eyed peo ple like Bette haven’t much sense. He and all his family are slightly pop-eyed.) And Clark Gable, w'iiom I. like everyone else, tlioiight looked jn.'t like Rhett Butler, must have been as fright ened as he says in "1 Was Afraid of Rhett Butler” (Woman’s Home Companion), for lie doesn’t look like Rhett; he doesn’t even look like himself. From the photo graphs he appeal^ to make Rhett a loutish roustabout. Oh well, in the real pictuie, no doubt Scarlett, Rhett, and even .\unt Pittypat. are all perfect. 1 % Penalty On 1939 County Taxes If Payment Is Not Made On Or Before February 1st, 1940 Some critics have said “Goiie With the Wind” was just as sen timental, romantic a picture of the old south as ’Thomas Nelson Page or anyone else ever limned: the only thing that gave it real ism was that both the leading characters were complete scoun drels. That is just what they are not. Crafty, hard, and even mer cenary as Scarlett is, the reader never loses sympathy with her Pocahontas. The 'bride is a gradu ate of the Pocahontae high sohool and a daughter of Mr. Otho John ston, formerly of this commun ity. Mrs. Oomelia Johnson recently visited her youngest son, Mr. C. Ftank Johnson, at Roaring Hirer. Two children of Mr. and Mrs. Jarvle Johnson, of Roaring Riv er, have been U1 with eevere colds or flu. Their grandmother, Mrs. Lula Davis, visited them Sunday. Mrs. W. G. Benton killed some hogs last Thursday. Lonnie Sale, colored. Is said to ■be Improving a little from snake bites and having flesh ciit from his leg in the early fall. Little news has been heard from Rev. N. T. Jarvis. He was said to be about the same Sun day. Two weeks ago he seemed to improve slightly, but was not as well later. Mansfield Parks, colored, and nearly all his family have been ill with severe colds and neuralgic pain, but are convalescing. The baby of Mr. and Mrs. Greene Brown has 'been sick. Relatives and friends in Wilkes received announcements of the marriage of Miss Helen Fh-ances Hanes, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Ollie Hanes, In Winston- Salem, January 12. Mrs. Hanes, mother of the bride, is a native of this vicinity, being the former Miss Maggie Chambers. If it is any colder In.

She could not be up for about a week. It la recalled by older residents that John Woodruff, who died recently in Tennessee, was once, In early youth, employed as a clerk In the store of Capt. John A Cooper at Dellaplane. Several men, afterwards more or less prominent, began their careers as clerks working with Capt. Coop er, or his successor, Mr. Brown, in the old store building at Del laplane. Among them, besides Mr. Woodruff, were Dr. J. Everett Martin: Frank Parks: W. J. Kin- youn, who later figured as a teacher and railway engineer; and H. E. Parks, the last one haring worked for Mr. Brown. All are now deceased, except H. B. Parks, who retired last summer a.s rural letter carrier. Considerable colds and flu fol lowed in the wake of the recent excessive cold.

Mr. Guire has 'been strongly urged to maJee the race liy lead ers in the county and district, but declined after expressing appreci ation for the offers of support. “I want to attempt, at least In some measure," Mr. Quire said, “to express my deep gratitude to the people of (Jaldwell county es pecially, and to all others in the Ninth Congressional district who have so generously offered their support If I should bucome a can didate for Congress to succeed Mr. Doughton.
