FIT
ON THE FARM 1
For the past few days we have v
Seen rambling our subscription J
territory the same as a rabbit ,
might ramble through a cabbage ;
patch. In our travels we foundry
IE. R. Connor thinking seriously [,
about shouldering his gun for a
aquirrel hunt. Chess Gore wasj
telling about killing a cat. Q S.
^Carter was tinkering with a mowing
machine.
Ernest Enzor was hauling in
hay . . Ishmael Brown was writing
us a check for The News
Reporter . . J. Porter Shelly was
hauling material to build himself
a new home. . . Sampel T. Black
was looking for some shirt sales- i
men. And Mike Rawles was getting
ready to shoot a deer.
T*~ """ froirQ'o wp saw J. Carr

R. H. Burns was listening to a
radio announcement of a baseball
game. George Blake was working |
a trick to make us sell him our
paper . . Dr. J. E. Koonce was
hammering away at his typewriter
. . F. M. Bullock was
strolling around in Cerro Gordo
and D. Z. Callahan was wearing
.a broad smile.
When we got up with S. T.
Carter he was roaming his corn
field . . L. B. Nance was coming
out of his field with a watermelon
(and if brother Nance had
turned his back we suspect that
watermelon would have disappeared
in the twinkling of an
eye).... Crawley Hammonds
-was beautifying his ditch bank
(but found a few minutes in;
which we told him our luck at
shooting deers; and he told us
of how fond he is of shooting (
birds.) And George Dutton told
us about his mule stamping off
the head of a rattlesnake.
W. S. Jones gave us a subscription
to The State Port Pilot
_ . . (which reminds us that we
will be canvassing Brunswick
county shortly for more subscrip-1
tions). Arthur Hammonds was
listening to the World series over
the radio jubliantly. (Because he
had just made an excellent sale
of tobacco in Mullins, S. C.)
We were especially glad to get;
up with Mrs. Lelia Milliken. and
with John Stanley. (Because each
at these gave us subscriptions to;
both, The News Reporter and the
State Port Pilot. Dempsy Atkins,
while paying us for his Pilot,
.said that Velt Clewis expects to
start farming?(sometime shortly
.after he gets married.)
J. Elmore Nance was taking a
rest under the shade of a tree.
.He had just sold his bulldog for
(iJlO.OO. (We were particularly
glad of this. Because we always
find strange bulldogs annoying).!
.And as for Joe Benton: Well, he
told us goodbye two weeks ago;
but we've seen Joe twice since
then, although we did not get a
chance to speak to him.
W. D. Creech was worried
-about the tobacco market?afraid
that it would close down before
Jie could sell his last three barns.
A. J. Walton was enjoying a
fresh cigar while telling of some
signs he'd been seeing in the
mountains . . Clyde Johnson was
trying to locate a tax collector
and what we can't figure out is
why ?)
Weldon Pierce was in a great
notion to go squirrel hunting. . .
Which reminds us that we were
so tempted when we saw a squirrel
run up a tree that we had to
close one eye to drive on by him..
... J. D. Young told us that we
were too heavy to do good deer
driving?that we should be slender
enough, and swift enough to
run along beside a deer and feel
his ribs to see if he were fat, before
shooting him.
What Mr. Young didn't know
is that we usually have to run
down our deer and finish them
'vii niui a ugiuvvuuu auul axici
we shoot at them. (All of which
reminds us that Mr. Mance LitXle,
a well-known deer slayer of
ihe Green Swamp regions, has
gone dear hunting.) (The life
that finds much happiness is usually
crowned with nuptial bliss;
a.nd nuptial bliss should none dispise
unless it proves contrariwise.)
We hadn't rambled far when
we got up with John Soles. He
was all smiles (as usual) and
ihad something to tell us about
Slow S. P. Hawes enjoys eating
blackfish . . E. L. Vereen was
riding around in his new pickup
. . And Clyde Nobles was on j
this way to school.
On one of our trips we got up
with Daniel Cooke, Jr., who told I
us that he had been married
. several weeks. (Which reminds us
that we hadn't kept our ear open
for news.) . . . Then there was
Emory Hammonds who is one of
the straightest-from-the-shoulder
men we have ever met. He had
Just sold a load of tobacco at a
fancy average; and although his
subscription to The News Repor?
Xer was paid up until next strawberry
time, he gave us a renewal
for another year.
I. P. Nobles was all wreathed:
in smiles. (Which convinces us I
that he has some important business
up his sleeve. When we see
Br'er Nobles all smiles, like that,
we have a hunch that all is right
with the world and that he is j
fi*.
xpecting to expand his commer- ta
ial business.) wi
Since this is squirrel season we w;
cish to tell you of a recent ex- ar
)eriepce that we had while out j sc
lunting. We were seated upon a! p(
og with our back against a tree j
n the cape Fear River lowlands i
,vhen suddenly we sensed that p(
something was creeping up be-; a;
lind us. Turning slowly, we espi- tl
?d a squirrel on the ground not j(
twenty feet away. We were in a f(
most uncomfortable position to, j,
shoot br'er squirrel. But we wan- b
ted his hams for ourself; the <
shoulders for the wife; the sides "
for the little daughter and the a
head for the baby son. So we v
swung our old Columbia around b
and fired . . . Well, you couldn't d
say that it was exactly a clean ia
miss; because the waddin' curved |a
and broke one of br'er squirrels b
legs. And what it took to run
him down then and finish him off. j
with the gun barrel, we had it. I
Now, then, that was that . . .
Only the waddin' tore up one of
the hams?all of which cut our J
share short at meal time. I
WOMAN'S CLUB MEETS j?
Members of the Southport Wo- j 1

afternoon in the public library J
for their first meeting of the .

Among the business disposed

S16.00 worth of equipment to the ?
high school gymnasium and the t
distribution of year books.
The program for the day was' .
under the direction of Mrs. C. G.'.

"Fall Flowers," telling how, |,
where and when to plant them. r
Club members were asked to j
bring at least two duids to tne|c
next meeting, these bulbs to beI r
planted in Franklin Square. I c
Mrs. C. Ed Taylor and Miss
Mary Weeks were joint hostesses ^
and lemonade and cake were served.
