lachelors Are
Living In Fear
Last week’s issue of the Zebulon
ecord threw groat consternation in
j the ranks of local bachelors. Those
anguinely self-satisfied ‘ uirds” have
ad things all their own way so long
hat the very rustle of a petticoat
lakes chills creep over them. And
s Shakespeare wrote it “My king
<>m for a horse,’’ that these pros
ects for car sales may escape to
‘lorida, California or other distant
arts to sidestep the charge of the
n::i»ms in the leap-year brigade
One of these celibates is reported
o have remarked: “I don’t see what
hat dumgasted newspaper wants to
et the girls all het up so for and
lake life miserable for me. I never
id anything to that editor.”
Bless you, brother, we are trying
o do something for your own good.
Taven’t you read what the Good Book
ays about “he that findeth a good
vile, etc?” Bachelordom is born of
elfishness, and selfishness is a sin.
Picture, if you will, the bliss of the.
siding presence of a nice helpmate, j
T dimples and smiles, wearing a
i lo of happiness in her cheery es-j
■ts to make your home more pleas
i comfortable and cheery. Her
/ touch here and there dispels the
'loom, chases away must and dust,
vith your clothes always neat and
leaned and repaired. God never in
:ended that man should live unto him
self alone. It was for the same rea
son that he added the sunshine to
where darkness prevailed, caused co
lorful, perfuming flowers to bud and
not rank weeds alone. Put golden
throated song birds into the scheme
:>f man’s habitat and added woman
hs something supremely worth man’s
attainment. And of such a picture itj
naturally follows that cooing', sing-!
ir.g, happy little cherubs wil come
t" add further happiness and bless
'be mar\ who steps out from the
realms of selfishness and seeks to
follow the wonderful scheme of crea-;
tion. We are with you, girls of Zebu-
Inn, until the last defender c f the
fort of selfish single-blessednes; runs
rp the white flag, surrenders and i
promises to love, honor, cherish and
obey. We add the last as a penalty
to insure their good behavior, just
as they would have to give bo id in
court.
And the editor being so seized of!
the authority by the laws of state)
rid church offers to unite in wedlock)
he first bachelor and bride in our j
community as a result of the leap-,
year campaign, absolutely gratis, as j
•i of of our faith in our stand.
