THURSD THIS AND THAT Kenneth Wright, highs, hool princiI al. foot-bail fan. aiul a gentleman and i scholar if ever there was one, has had all sorts of trouble?and so have we?about an advertisement he wanted printed in the Scout. During summer time. Prof. Wright turns a few honest pennies by selling insurance. He represents twelve big companies, and therefore can givt you a policy on just about anything from straight life to protection against hang nails. This particular ad. however. pointed out the advantage of the accident insurance policies put out by the Hartford Company. It was designed especially for those planning trips to one of the worlds fairs. Well, the first week a heavy storm rippled the power lines and tied up the Scout, so that instead of goblin press at > P. M.. as we should, we didn't "get the paper to bed" until three o'clock next morning. Everybody was worn out. and mad at everybody else, in genera!, and the power plant in particular. The paper finally came out full of typographical errors?but there was no error in Prrf. Wright's ad. It didn't get in at ail: Prof. Wright registered a good humored protest. He asked, midly. what good an ad about vacation could do. after vacations were all over? In our sweet girlish fashion, we tried to convince him that many of our very best folks don't take vacations until August?or maybe September, and he finally consented to "let the ad ride" for the next issue. That was last week?and the ad got in exactly where it belonged. This time, however although it told all about the Hartford Insurance Company, and its travel-accident policies. it did NOT tell who was selling them. Well, we imagine you know now! A certain trained nurse recently was in attendance at a home, near Murphy. After a ten hour vigil she left the bidside of her patient to snatch a bite to eat. Hurrying back, she asked the patient's wife how he was. "Fine" was the answer "right after you left he went to sleep. He s'-cms t*? in rcstin' real ease." And he was indeed resting eas\ lie was dead. The new-made widow came in the room, looked at the corpse, and tie clared she "didn't believe it'. Pretty soon her small son. Hired siv c?mo ??| and he too refused to believe his latin-t was dead, lie wanted to pineli him, to make sure, and when the iimse wouldn't allow that, he took hi> m< ther's hand and tried to pull her out of the room. "Come on Ma" he said". Lets us get. away from that old nurse. 1 dont like her anyhow. What for does she want to come around here wearin' ; false face?" N. B.?This nurse can well afford to teil this on herself. Take it trom us. she really is plenty easy to look at! There is a certain dashing: attorney in this man's town, very handsome, very beautifully groomed, very pleasant speaking?hut with a reputation for caring nothing at all?or even less than that?about the Fair Sex. That is, of course, excepting his very charming wife. Not for worlds would we destroy his almost nonastic reputation?but as an honest chronicler of all the news, we feel it our column duty to announce that this young gentleman gets very much "that way" when he even hears about a gal?any gal who happens to have gray eyes. So far as we can find out, he doesn't know any girl with gray eyes. He just hopes that some day, maybe, he will. To get this man's name, enclose a self addressed and stamped envelope, and seven dollars, cash. The money will be needed to get the writer out of town. uver in Andrews, Wade Reese, young motor car Tycoon, is making a hobby of collecting old Ford cars. Foi many weeks his pride and joy was a 1926 model T coupe which he hauled in from the woods, and spent weeks of time on until finally he got it into tunning condition. He placed it on a pedestal outside his salesroom, and if he liked you very, very much he would take you for a ride in it. But alas! The '26 model has been superceded in the fickle Reese heart. His new love is a fine young Ford roadster turned out in the good year 1921. Reese says he found it up near Tusquittee, and he vows it has been run less than 1,000 miles. Reese got it for $65. He already has refused $200 for it, and vows it is not for sale at any price! V. c. o. Because her husband didn't tell her he had a wooden leg before their marriage, Mrs. Helen Leto of New Orleans sought an annulment. AY. JULY 37. .939 Letter To The I DANCING IN CHURCH Dear Mr. Editor: VViil you please print this in the next papei as it is my first letter to the Scout since I have been a subscribe. In regard to the article in last uetks paper I am sorry to say (Mr. V. O.) your way of getting more people to church is not appreciated here in our community. We sure don't believe in dances, shows, movies and ftee-for-all in our churches. The Lord wont allow us to make theatres out of ? ur churches through the week; and -scarcely used for him on Sunday, and we surely don't, want a preacher in our midst that will carry on such things in our churches. The Lord, in the day's of old, cast out the Pharisees because they made his house a house of merchandise, and says: "My house shall be a house of worship and not a house of merchan dise" and how much worse are we it we make a house of sport out of our church. Our churches would De far hotter if there were no movies to draw our people away from the church. I am sorry to know that you have such an idea in your mind. I believe in my heart that if we would havi mere old time preaching and church work our churches would be better and do away with so much sin and evil. We would be in far better shape. The Lord says his work and the devil's TURNING BACK HISTORY'S PAGES 40 YEARS AGO Tuesday, July 25, 1899 Miss Nora Cobb was shopping in town Tuesday. E. Herbert, of Clay, was here Satin day. Harry A.
