i; MOTHER S DAY j ♦♦»»♦»♦♦♦♦♦»♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦»♦♦♦♦< > By P. E. CAYTON E Each year there is a day set aside for Mother’s Day. This day should I bought of as a great day, for we r know a mother’s help until she passed beyond. We never know kind words mean until ler leaves us. Have we ever afar off from home, and thought lother and her care? There is ing on earth can take the place lother. In this article I shall tell you a story of a young man who left his home to go out into the world to make his living, This young man thought he could take care of him - self. This son went to his father and said, father give to me the share that will come to me of what you own. Then the father divided all that he had between his two sons, and not many days after the younger son took his share and went into a far country. There he wasted it all in wild and wicked living, and when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine of food in that country, and he began to be in want. He went to work for one of the men in that land, and the man sent him into the field to feed the hogs. The young man was so hungry that he would have ' filled himself with the husks that were fed to the higs, and no one gave him anything to eat. At last the young man began to think of his s. father’s house, and said to himself: How many hired servants of my fath er’s have bread enough and to spare, while lam dying with hunger? I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, father, I have sinned Music Recital Friday Night At School House The members of the music class of Mrs. Leon Lewis will have their t piano recital at the school house Fri day night, May 10, at 7:45 o’clock.

REPUBLICAN Bertie County By Walter Hughes V J Well, I’m thirteen years behind in my visiting, as I used to sell paints years ago, I thought I would sell some more and travel over the coun try. So the other day I happened to Plymouth. ( They all made out like they were 'mighty glad to see me. Soon we got to talking about the ' bridge project crossing at Plymouth, or below the railroad bridge at Mack eys. One fellow said it ought to cross at Plymouth over to Merry Hill. “Well”, I said, “we’ve got to take goad reason into consideration. If the bridge crosses here at Plymouth and goes by Merry Hill, it will only bene fit a few families in Cashoke getting r over to Plymouth, and it’s just as near to Edenton by the way over the EESfcnnd as it is around by Merry Hill Edenton, and on to Norfolk. If the "bridge is put below, from Chowan County to Washington County, it will * turn Washington, Tyrrell and Hyde Counties through by Edenton to Nor folk, and cut off a hundred miles for Hyde County, save going all around by Washington and Williamston around by Windsor. So I’m sure it will be put over below the bridge.” When I struck Edenton a fellow asked me if there wasn’t a man bet- T ter than C. W. Spruill to represent Bertie County. I told him no, that C. W. Spruill was the best man in Bertie County. At Mackeys I stopped to see them ,£ut and salt herrings. I n F-jced they fwere most particular in washing all the blood from the herring, which I think wilt l , keep them from pickle het, With whi\h I’ve had a lota against heaven and in your sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. But the father said to his ser vants, bring forth the best robe, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. This father saw his son afar off, and ran and fell on his neck. They killed the fatted calf. They ate and made merry. Young men and daughters, your mother and father will welcome you home when the world turns its back on you. There is no place like home, and what is home without father and mother? , This day is called Mother’s Day, but I think father should have part on this day. It takes father and mother to keep the home fires burn ing. When mother passes on to better lands, then you can see the home fires fade away. If we have any roses I think we should give them to mother here on earth. Give her flowers with kind words. Even Christ loved . mothers. He always loved little children. He also told us to honor our father and mother. You that wear the white rose know the care of mother. You that wear the red rose know the help of mother. Do you remember when you were but just a child that mother warmed the blankets and put them snug around you at night? Have you forgotten the prayer that mother taught you at her bedside? This prayer will follow you throughout the years to come: Here I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. That’s the prayer that mother taught you. Young man, old men, are you praying the prayer that mother taught you? of trouble. The most progressive town I struck was Creswell. Since my absence, more stores had been built, people were repairing, painting and reno vating for a sight- Also I sold lots of paint for churches and dwellings. Close to Creswell I spent the night with a rich lady by the name of Mrs. Bettie Smithson. She gets on to wards two crates of eggs every week. On her big farms every year she raises thousands of barrels of corn and thousands of bushels of soja beans, hogs and cattle in plenty. Close to Swan Quarter the people were taking chub by the bunch right out of the ditches, just living by nature. A few miles from Edenton Tom Hoskins is building himself a new house. I asked Tom how did he start his house. “Well, I built the top first,” said Tom. I asked, “what in the world did /you build the top first for?” Tom “it’s like this, I’ve got an up-to-date carpenter by the name of Noah Ward, and he knew his right fertilizer.” Everybody is all right as long as you like ’em. Tomlinson Style Show At High Point May 10 High Point, N. C.—When Stephen Foster wrote his immortal “Home, Sweet Home” he made no important contribution to American thought. But he defined, as no one else has ever defined, the affection we in this country feel for the home. Our fore fathers found the open hearth of the kitchen a cozy focal point for their social activities. The home of today is a far cry from the simplified dig nity that ruled the lives of our ances tors when America was but an infant. When the younger as well as the older of our generation think of home, their thoughts naturally turn to home furnishings. Everyone, whether young, middle aged or old, love to see beautiful things for the home. With this thought in mind, Tomlinson of High Point, the largest Southern manufacturer of fine furni ture, have for the last five years set aside a day in both the Fall and Spring when their large private exhi bition building has been open to all of us who are interested in seeing the latest thoughts and creations in love ly furniture for our homes. On Friday, May 10th, another such exhibition is being held. Featured at this event will be a complete showing of what is considered the first wholly and orginal American furniture style since the days of our illustrious Dun can Phyfe. Named in honor of one of America’s foremost present-day designers, Mr. George J. Pike, this style is known as Georgepike. Mod els of this style in bedroom, dining room and living room pieces and en sembles, as well as hundreds of lovely things after the style of all the popu lar periods will be on dis'play. Four complete floors of the large Tomlin son Exhibition Building will be ar ranged for the enjoyment of visitors. From ten o’clock in the morning to ten o’clock in the evening, Friday May 10th, Tomlinson invites the pub lic through the hundreds of furniture dealers displaying their merchandise, to come to High Point and be their guests on that day. From an attendance of a scant two hundred, mostly local, at the first of' these shows five years ago, visitors have come in increasing numbers and from more and more distant points each succeeding one* One thousand and more visitors each show now en joy the thrill of seeing the latest in furnishings for the living room, bed room, dining roota, ensembles and ic lasionaljicees created by Tomlinson‘s THE CHOWAN HERALD, EPENTON, N.
