Two EARPSBORO Glenn Brown Just Simply Can't Dispose Os Menacing Cats This one is told on Glenn Brown. Seems Molly, his mother, had a whole passel of cats. They clutter ed up the back porch, each waiting to dash in through the kitchen door. Glenn grew mighty tired of these beasts always being under foot. One day when his mother was out, he began to sack up cats. Having to make a trip to Zebulon he decided to drop them off along the way. The spot he chose for disposal was at Robert Ed Hor ton’s tobacco barn. Here we have a twist of fate. Vernona Horton, who was out about her chores, hap pened to spy the goings on and with her keen eye recognized the culprit. Immediately after Glenn had driven off, she began rounding up the cats. With her son to drive her, they set off to Earpsboro with the mewing felines and as gra ciously bestowed the gift upon the Brown household as they had been cast on the Horton domicile. Both laugh about the incident now. Vernona says that Glenn has nev er bothered her with such an act since. Glenn admits, too, that he will be sure of the situation before he ever dumps anything off any where again. • This happened New Year’s day. Ronald Hales needed to make a telephone call. He picked up the receiver a number of times, but the line was busy with the chatter of women’s voices. He recognized the voice of Silphia Creech. She was a neighboring resident. The conversation was long and involv ed. All the happenings of the hol iday season were hashed over. Then Zillie told her party that she was having black eyed peas and hog’s head for dinner. This was very fitting and proper for the day, but Roland could stand it no longer. He picked up the phone and broke in, saying: “Zillie, I smell your peas burning.’’ Zillie, not suspecting this strange voice, said, “Are they? Oh, my!” Where upon she slammed the receiver on Eddins Shoe Shop “Invisible Shoe Repair” Army Shoes and Slippers for Sale FARM EQUIPMENT AT PUBLIC AUCTION 7 Far mall "H" Tractor 7 4-Blade John Deere Tiller on Rubber 7 Tractor Gang Disc 7 Tobacco Sprayer 7- Rubber-Tired Wagon 7 McCormick Mower 3 Mules and Harness All plows & other farm equipment MONDAY, JAN. 18, 1954 11:00 A.M.

Roland, anyway, pro ceeded to make his telephone call, laughing to himself all the while. • Mildred and Lloyd Tippett will soon move into their new home af ter having lived with the Alfred Tippetts since their marriage. Nev er have you seen such an excit ed pair about having their own home and doing their own house keeping. But to Mildred there was one little hitch. The home in which they are going to live in does not have a bath room. So she coyly proceeds to ask her father-in-law if she might go up to his house and take a bath now and then and wash her hair occasionally. With feigned great indignation Alfred rose to his full height and said: “No! Take a bath in a basin like I used to do. And wash your hair in a basin like I used to do.” This idea of having to resort to a tiny basin after being used to a tub and shower somewhat floored Mil dred. But seeing her sad reaction to his ultimatum, Alfred admitted he was joking and consented to let the Lloyd Tippetts still share the bath room in his home. • Then there’s the one I overheard Ara Martin telling. In her spare time this fall she helped the Thel bert Creeches grade and tie tobac co. Now according to Ara, Thel bert is a big tease. Nothing de lighted him so much as to tease her, or play some practical joke on her. One of his jests was kid ding her about getting married again. This, she said, is the far thest thing from her mind. But nonetheless he suggested some old codger that was half dead with age, or without sight or all his limbs, or mentally off the beam. The song “Too Old to Cut the Mustard” was at its peak in popu larity at this time, and Thel chid ed Ara that she was too old to cut the mustard, anyway. Never one to be out done in any situation, Ara’s flash of wit came to her rescue. “I may be too old to cut the mustard,” she retorted, “but I sure can wallow in the salad.” Ribbing from Thelbert was not nearly as often from then on, Ara said. Christmas is the gentlest, love liest festival of the revolving year —and yet, for all that, when it speaks, its voice has strong au thority.—W. J.

Pace were here for the weekend with the Harold Pippins. Old Man Winter got here Mon day night with his white blanket of snow. The old saying is your “left hand don’t know what your right hand does,” but I know what my right foot did one time, it slipped on the snow and ice and knocked my left foot out from under me and I had a sprained ankle for nine weeks and couldn’t walk. It took 3 peo ple to get me up and in the house. My husband said the way old peo ple fattened a goose was to tack her foot to a plank so she couldn’t walk the fat off. I guess I got fat when I didn’t walk in nine weeks. I’m not old the reason I don’t like snow. It’s because I have had three sprained ankles in my life and a burnt child dreads fire. Mr. John Clark is on the sick list. Mrs. W. J. Frazier is confined to her bed. Mr. Allan Pippin is home from Rex Hospital. He can’t walk yet. * Mr. W. Y. Wood is not any bet ter. He is shut in.
