JUST ONE THIMi I

CARL GOUW'U
For the past two or three weeks,
cry time I’ve been driving along
e highways, I’ve seen quite a num
jr of small trucks and carts loaded
iwn with collards.
"Farmers certainly are selling a
of collards this year,” I remarked
A. D. Mac Lean as he and I were
‘icing to Raleigh a few days ago.”
They’re not selling them; they’re
i ving them,’ he corrected me.

another at this time of year they

nsn’t hurt the collards any.”
First time I have ever heard of that.

su Lean has no intention of being
candidate for Governor of North
Urolina.

tacked by a game rooster that flew !
over the fence from an adjoining
yard, and pecked her head severely.
After the blood was washed off it was I
found that, though badly frightened,
and painfully hurt, the child had suf
fered no serious injury.
Mrs. Harris said that she was real
ly more alarmed about the neighbor!
from whose yard the rooster flew than !
about Mishew Ann; the excitement
and regret caused by the occurence
causing the neighbor to come near a

Among Our Readers
We are grateful to a number of,
cur readers for their words of appreci
ation ot our first effort at running a
a newspaper. We are conscious of the
iack of both experience and ability,
and hope we may have the forbearing
sympathy of our readers and adver
tisers till our knowledge and efforts
meet the demands.
We shall do our best with what we
have. But we must have two things
from you to succeed or even exist:
your subscription and some advertis
ing. Either of these alone will not
save us.
Mr. Walter Bunn came in Wednes
day to tell us how he likes the Rec
ord. He says he has been a subscrib
er from the beginning, and doesn’t
see how he can do without the paper.
He asked if it was true that we would
send the Record on till fall if a fel
low could not pay up now.
Yes, that is just what we said. If
you appreciate the Record enough to
j want it. and are not able to pay $1.50
now, then drop us a line and say so,
and your credit will be good till fall.
As stated in last week’s Record if you
want the paper, send us your name,
and we will send you the Record for
nine months. Then you pay us one
dollar in the fall.
Many of us have friends and rela
[ fives living in other towns, or away
in school. What better thing could
you do than send them the home
town news through the Record? A
number of our subscribers are doing
so. why not you ?
Why don’t some one at Wakelon get
busy and send us a batch of real
school news each week ? This will be a
splendid way to keep the school before
the patrons. Each week we have a
column or two from Bunn. We shall
be glad to print anything of general
interest from Wakelon, even occa
-1 sionally a spring poet’s warbles.
The following have renewed or
subscribed for the Record since Jan
uary first:
W. S. Horton, Rev. N. B. Johnson,
Mrs. J. B. Outlaw, Dewey Massey, P.
F. Massey, A. D. Parrish, L. R. Tem
ples, O. H. Massey, O. M. Marshbum,
Mrs. J. It. Clark, Mrs. Octavia Cone,
Bennett Pearce, J. R. Wheeler, Zebu

BRIDGERS TO SUPPLY ICE
By an arrangement made between
Mr. R. H. Bridget's and Mr. S. Z. Gill
the Little Rive ' Ice company will sup
ply the trade in Zebulon and the sur
leunding territory. Mr. B'idgers
wishes to assure the public that he
will continue giving them the same
courteous and efficient service as
through the past years.
SEEN AND HEARD
OVERALLS vs. HARD TIMES
With a pair of union-ails under my
aim, I was on my way to the office
t' other day to give it a good general
house-cleaning, when some one asked:
"Where’re you goin? What you got
there?”
“Oh. this? Why, I’ve got Hard Times
under my arm.”
And that set me to thinking. If
you don’t have a strangle hold on old
man Hard Times, you had better
look out, or he'll get you. Reach out,
grab him, throttle him, choke him
senseless, aiif] leave him behind. You,
can do it. He is an indolent old
wretch. Just keep going along with
that old discourager dogging your
heels while you grumble and complain,
and you won’t even see Miss Pros-j
perity. much less embrace her. Drop,|
that gloom, grab that grin, fight like|
“sin”, and you will win. j
“Quit your grumblin’ ’boot no
money;
Make out like bard times is funny.”
WHY, CERTAINLY
After all the clouds and rains of
| many days, a little 4-year-old the
other day, was heard to sigh and say,
“Ah—oh! See the sun! Today’s the
day we’d better send out a bird.”
Yet who has forgotten those long,
clear, hot, dry days of not so long
ago, when we sighed for even a little
cloud and a light shower. The child
| is father to the man, and what he was
saying, many of us are now thinking.
'lf we could fit the weather condi
tions into our philosophy of life as
! the old liquor lover did, it would be
in summer to cool off, and in winter
warm up!
LOOSE VIRTUES
Some one said to us the other day,
“What we need is honesty, truth and
virtue.” We agreed, but remarked
that was plenty of these lying around
loose. “Yes,” he replied but we need
them some where else—in the folks.
We wonder whether all those flow
ers in the windows of the J. M.
Chevrolet Co. are there just to help
the owners keep them through the
winter, <>r whether Mr. Cawthorne
uses them to lead the eyes of behold-
I ers to the background of shining new ;

NUMBER .31
Mrs. Roy W ilder
Addresses P.-T. A
At the monthly meeting of the
W akelon P.-T. A. on Tuesday eve
ning( Mrs. Roy Wilder, o Spring
H>>pe, was the speaker. Mrs. Wilder is
pi eminent in club work, and is in
great demand as a speaker. She had
been announced to speak on “The
Children’s Charter” but said she
would discuss instead “Our P.-T. A.
Platform.” She said the P.-T. A. be
jgan ago as a welfare work.
Soon mothers were brought in and
finally fathers, too. Out of this be
ginning has grown a great national
organization of parents and teachers
giving its interest to the child’s wel
, fare and training along alt lines. In
| North Carolina, the organization has
j 25,000 members.
j Among the seven principals of the
j P.-T. A. platform Mrs. Wilder empha
(sized health, safety and a worthy
home fellowship. The training for
good citizenship is the responsibility
of the home. Thrift should be em
phasized. We have, said she, forgot
the most important thing about
making money -making it in the right
way. If we must economize, let’s not
take it out of our children. She em
phasized the wise use of means, ma
terials and good reading.
On the whole the address was well
; received, and gave emphasis to very
pertinent matters relating to child
problems and parent responsibilities.
Stedman’s Snuff
Tempts James Pace
James Pace, a colored man, was
promenading and parading 'through
the Steelman store a few days ago,
when he absent-mindedly appropriat
ed a 3 lb. bladder of snuff. Wavland
Finch, the store manager, penetrated
the secret of the' would-be light finger
ed artist, and as a result, James
awaits trial in the* Wake* county jail at
the next term of the Zebulon Record
er’s court. We fear James’ missus will
miss her snuff till he* settles his ac
count with the majesty of the law.

On Sunday evening about 7:00

met with their first misfortune, strik

front of .J. E. Gill’s, thence across the
street into Walter Page ear, " here
they made a quick short stop.
In scene two we find them resting

they gave bond for their appearance
