Johnson) “We live and learn” Is a very much used saying which is true in every sense of the word for we learn from the day of hirth until the day we die. A few days ago this writer was in Durham looking for some of the very scarce items such as well, most everything Including oilcloth. We were told that there was no such thing to be found, and it was almost the same way about stove mats but we did find the mat and believing that the wav to get information is to ask for it, wo asked the dork if he could tell us ..I'ere we might find the oilcloth and yes, typewriter rlh bon. and do you know that clerk had a wealth of information. He said I would find the ribbon at Thomas Book store and oilcloth at The House of Gideons. I had never heard of such a place as many times as I have tramped the streets of Durham and I fell like saying "Are you kid ding”? and to tell you the truth I thought ho was Joking. So I started looking for it and 1 soon found that I was not the only ignorant person and the looks they gave me when I asked two or three people where I could find the House of Gideons gave mo to know that they thought I had Just escaped from a crazy hou.se, “No such place here” they said. But I kept on until I saw a sign which told me that neither the LYRIC COOL ivnil COOL THEATRE—LILUNGTON, N. C. SHOW HOURS: Mon. - Through - Fri. At 7 & 9 P. M. Saturday 1:00 •• 11:30 P. M.

Yes, they did have the oll- clleth'! The people standing in line a tew days later at Bose's In Sanford re minded me of the story I heard about the man who saw a line of folks watting >for something, he knew not what but he fell in line. He was BO busy reading a >popular maga'zlne ho didn’t know what they were selling until he reached the end and it was of all things, irons! Not to be outdone he bought one. Here comes the latest In low pric ed tobacco in 1931, and It comes from Van Dean of Lllllngton Rr3. Van says: “I read your article on the low price someone (it was Jim Mason) received for tobacco in 1931 and I -believe I can tell you of a case that beats it.” We told ,him to fire away for that was what we had been wanting to hear about, for as yet Jim had the record. He began by calling the man’s name which I can’t recall Just now and perhaps it’s Just as well. Anyway^this man had no tobacco plants and he went to his brother’s home to get him to carry him to S. C. tO' get them but his wife told him that her husband was not going to wear out their new car driving him around hunting plants so he ups and slaps her which cost him |40'.00 oourt cost. Then he hired another person to go after the plants and the trip was |20.00. Ho paid $80.00 ifor his fertilizer. When he sold his tobacco he realized the neat sum of $12.00 for his entire crop! Sounds like you have lost your record for selling cheap tobacco Jim. What do you think? 8 « * There is a better way to get rid of your mate than to kill him or her as the case may be. This was brought home forcibly to me the other day when I saw my first white man sentenced to death for killing hl.s wife. Why is It necessary to kill a person to get rid of them? This world is too large and you can al ways take a runout powder. The saying goes “you can go so far it will take a dollar to send you a post card,” there is no such place of course, for no matter how far you go it' only takes a small amount of postage, but you can get far enough away so as not to be in gunshot range. I am not advocating divorce, don’t misunderstand me but you know, and I know, cases where it would be better for the wife if her husband would take a runout powder and vice versa. * 8 * U. C. Womack who runs Plneridge iServlce station on highway 421 is a great Joker, and when he told this writer about a person telling him that he bought some cheese that his family couldn’t eat and they threw it to the dog and he sniffed it a time or two and walked off without eat ing it, frankly we didn’t believe it, and who would? But now that I have experienced the same thing only the animal refusing to eat the cheese wo failed was a cat there is no further question as to whether Ura was Joking or not. Yee, seeing and tasting is believing. I ‘am re minded right Mere of one of Ura’s Jokes back wbien rationing' uas at it's highest peak, in fact It "’'leme'd that very few things were liot ra tioned. An old colored woman came in his store and began talking about rationing and wondering what they would ration next so Ura' told her that they wore going to ration cof fins, Just one to the customer. “Good Dawd, Mr. Womack, what will we do then?” To which Ura replied “You’ll never need but one” and you should have seen the look of relief on the woman’s face. 8 8 8 A most charitable person is Sid ney Thomas of Thomas Farm Setivlce store at Ryes and I’ll tell you why. When he sowed his turnip patch he took in enough space to grow turnip greens for the whole of Harnett coun ty and If you don’t get your share it isn’t his fault. He will tell you to go out and help yourself to some of the finest greens you ever tasted If you happen his way. “It’s every body’s patch” says Sidney. 4-H Short Courie For ColoriNl Youths The following 4-H boys. and girls Maylon MoKoy of Brwln R-l, »haw- fell Ragland of Angler R-2, Deyton McKinney of Fuquay B-1, Clarence McLean of Lillington R-2, Dorothy McDougald of Kipling, Mollle Ryles we say may you, have many more happy .birthdays.
