persons and things seen H

By BRODIE JONES
"How're you feeling, buddy?"
Such was the greeting to a fellow
editor this week.
"Like a tadpole in a shallow
mudhole?just wiggling along," he
answered.

passed along to Sidney Smith,
creator of "Andy Gump."
After a lively, folksy Kiwanis
meeting at Hotel Warren the
other night and while the flow of
comment was continued in smaller
groups within the lobby, W. H.
Dameron called me to the door
and then we went across to look
uton the banquet in the social
loom of the Methodist church.
An atmosphere of merrmient was
prevailing. Gay hats, laughter,
wholesome good cheer were all in
the picture. Bill Dameron was
toastmaster and while we were
taking a view from the street, everything
seemed to move smoothly
with the younger crowd. In the
language of the social reporter, "A
good time was had by ail."
One doesn't see goat carts every
day up in this section, but travel
that way is popular down at
Scotland Neck. I saw three outfits
on parade down there this
week, and children were trooping
along behind the carts, waiting
their chance for a ride.

travel to Jackson had ?o be routed

last week.
Lowlands near the bridges at
Roanoke Rapids and Weldon were
under water.

President Hoover |
Starts The Official
Grind With Rush
WASHINGTON, March 5?Herbert
Hoover started his first working
day as president with a rush.
It was an able demonstration of
the tireless energy of the man who
will occupy the White House for the
next four years.
There was no let-down in the
day's activities. Appearing at his
office at 8:55 a. m., rested and
anxious to begin the serious work
of running the government, Mr.
Hoover set a fast pace for his assistants
to follow.
He conferred twice with Secretary
of State Kellogg on the Mexican
situation, and decided to maintain
the same position held by the United
States for the past five years. He
conferred with Chairman Work, of
the Republican National Committee,
and later with national committee
He shook hands with 2,500 visitors
?a record by 600 to any previous
crowd shaking hands with a president
with the exception of the New
Year's receptions.
He held his first press conferenec
and chatted informally with more
than 100 newspapermen who had
gathered to learn his views on press
relations.
He met 10 representatives of the
Grand Army of the Republic and
personally thanked them for acting
as his guard of honor during the
inaugural ceremonies yesterday.
He sent his cabinet appointees to
the senate and learned later they
were confirmed in 15 minutes.
He and Mrs. Hoover lunched, with
Mrs. Mollie Currens, his boyhood
school teacher at West Branch,
Iowa, and Mr. Currens as guests.
The lunch period was short, and
in less than one hour Mr. Hoover
was back again at his desk.
In spite of all of this activity, the
president had time to think of Mrs.
Hoover and request secret service
men to send the cowboy band of
Simmons University, Texas, who
serenaded him, over to the "Front
Porch" of the White House so his
wife- could hear it.
COLLEGE SEXTETTE COMING
The Knoxville College Sextette of
Knoxville, Tennessee. returning
from a successful tour of the North
and East, will appear in Warrenton
? ' - 1 - i- n
on Saturday evening at o u uwr

from the classics. A special
invitation is extended to the white
people and special seats will be
provided for them.

j :
The boys have been talking
about a swimming pool even in
these early March days. We are
1 for the pool. Look ahead to Summer,
and when ycu want a nifty
j bathing cap for that attractive
pool, why come on here.
Motor Cop (to fair motorist):
"You were speeding; I've got to
, i pinch you."
Fair Motorist: "Oh, please; if
ycu must, do it where it won't
show."
Man (in search of his wife):
"Bridget, do you know anything
of my wife's whereabouts?"
Bridget: "Yes, sir, I put them
I in the wash."
"Great Scott. I've forgotten
i who wrote Ivanhoe," whispered
| a sophomore to his neighbor on J
I examination day.
"I'll tell you if you tell me I
who the dickens wrote 'The Tale {
of Two Cities,"' his neighbor
whispered back.
That Palmolive soap we are
talking about in this edition is
well worth your attention.
"I wonder," said the old lady
at the dance, "what has become
-of the old-fashioned girl who
used to drop her eyes, raise her
face and say: 'You must ask
Papa,'"
"She has a daughter," answered
the girl, "who says, 'shove
her into high kid! The old man's
gaining on us!'"
"My girl has lots of personality."
"Mine isn't good looking
either."
