It is possible to play mah-jongg -without gambling, just like. poker. Most of the midnight oil these nights is burned by being stepped on. Queer that men should take up a life; of crime when there are so many legal ways to be dishonest. House rent is so high now, it is odd that people don't stay at home more to get their money's worth. The new microphone that makes the conversation of insects audible is clearly an accessory that comes with every mosquito. Observation indicates . that most men would freeze their ears rather than wear ear muffs. However, this is a free country. Keep in mind the fact that the early broiler, like unto the early bird, us: ually gets the best worm on the mar ket. And prices talk. ; r" . Germans who thought of bringing the fx-kaiser to trial have probably decided that the satisfaction would ' not be worth the expense. Every candidate would rather be right than President, of course. Un fortunately, most of them will be neither? They will be left. . When a farmer Consults his county agent afrd other authorities with ref erence to his problems he shows signs of brain work in his farming. There are ten thousand ways, of do ing a thing wrong and just one way if doing it right. It you never make mistakes you are one in ten thousand. . Club girls now make nice, hats on der the direction of their home dem onstration agent.s. At one school, the girls made finished hats valued at $75 for a total cost of $30. .... The sales made by club women on the curb market at VVadesboro dur ing one week amounted to as much as the county pays towards the sal try of the home agent. 1 i Legumes and livestock go hand in . hand to build up better soils and more lasting form prosperity in North Car olina. Have you planned for surajner legumes on that stubble land? Club women in Richmond County sold products to the amount of $559.64 on the four Saturdays during which the curb market was conducted in February, reports the home agent. "What has become of the hitching posts of yesterday?" asks a newspa per inquirer. Same too, as to the carnage blocks which formerly gave uiiuncxion xo me residence avenues " Times "and manners change. In Washington the game of passimr the buck has about given place to that of passing the lie. And indications are that some of our nifty lawmakers have been passing the hat. The genius of a certain Arkansas editor showed itself recently when he printed the following news item in the local columns of his paper: "Miss Beulah Blank, a Batesville belle of twenty summers, k visiting her twin brother, age thirty-two. It may just be possible that after the National Democratic Convention we can announce the results thus; WOOD OSCAR W. ' WINS ..' ALL Which, being interpreted, simply means, Ushar VV. Underwood win over all. It begins to look though all the others have at one time or another had oil spiled on them.. Goose Holler News. As this is about the windiest day I ever seen or heard tell of, I.jjst thought ;,it would be a good, time to write , you another winOetter. I gess Goose Holler itne windiest place in the'. world, anyhow, not only fur windy weather, but fur bigvindy tales, too..' Hit makes me think of what' John Windy said happened to him way back in 1876, that wa(sbe fore they ever had' any goose-neck hose in Goose Holle;;, but the hose had eyes too them jist like a mat tuck. Well, Windy said one morning along about the middle of March, he wedged his hoe and mattuck on the andles so tight that. he knowed iiey'd never come off, and went to clean the briars"and, sprouts from his itch banks and fence corners. He to said the wind blowed so Tiard he had to lay down in the ditch some of the imc to keep from blowing off, and when the. old woman blowed the horn for dinner he knowed he'd have to o something with? his hoe and mat- tuck or they'd be. blowed off when he come back. So he foun'd a crack in the fence big enough for the handles o go through, but too little for the :ioe and mattuck to go through, and it run the handles through that rack and went on to dinner, fur he thought there'd be no chance tur them to blow away. But sir, when he onie back them handles was oii the tother side of .the fence. The wind had blowed them out of the eyes of hoe and mattuck and he like to never found his hoe and mattuck, and when he did their eyes was blowed out, and he had to take them to a blacksmith and have some eyes put in before he could ' put the handles back on. I was readin' in the paper thetother day where it said that telephone messages - in this country enduring 922 numbered 24,738.758,739.. Well. that may be so, and it may not, I don't know about that, I gess it is though or they wouldn't print it in no paper, and I don't want to say anything that w"Ould insult the good wimmen of Goose Holler, fur I don't know how we'd . git along without them. To tell the truth this neck of the woods wuz named Goose Holler in their honer, but I do know if they wuz that many messages sent and if every one that sent them had talked as long as some of the good wimmen on our line do, it would a tuck a 100 years to a sent-them, and then some of them wouldn't a got no chance to sent their n. . .. I seen too where the paper said that the farm truck raised . in the united States last year amounted to $8,322,695,000, and 1 don't know whether ' they counted in what we raised in Goose Holler or not, if thev didn't I gess you might add about $25.75 more to it, for I- believe, that would be'a purty fair estimate, for ohn light-Wad made about 10 bush Is of corn, besides his taters and ruck,, and Jim High-Price says he gesscs 'he's bought up about $15.00 wuth of farm truck since corn gath ering time. Well, the wind hain't a blowing quite as hard as it was, and I'm about out of any more windy tales, so I'll close for .thjs time. If you're ever down in Goose Holler come to see me, and 1 11 do as mufh for you some ne JESS NONSENSE. Jackson, County News. Hudson's Camp, March 7.
