A BIG BIRTHDAY DINNER.
(Too late for our last issue.)
Pittsboro, Rt. 3, Aug. 20.—0 n Sun
day, August 19th, the friends and ;
neighbors of Mr. J. D. Jones began to i
drive into his yard and grove until
there were about one hundred and '
much talking and a general good time j
was had until 12 o’clock.
The good ladies began to set the ;
table, and the many good things to
eat, were spread under the shade oi j
large, fine trees. The large and ap
preciative crowd then gathered, and
after thanks [were returned to the
good God that makes such pleasant ;
occasions possible, the crowd began to
eat. The inner man was well satis
fled and that crowd seemed to enjoy •
themselves to the fullest extent. After j
the meal had been served, a delicious j
lot of melons were sliced and greatly -
enjoyed.
The crowd chatted until late in the J
afternoon, feeling happy that they had -
been privileged to be there. The same
crowd would be glad to enjoy many ,
more such occasions.
It was the fifty-first anniversary
for Mr. Jones. To visit his home ;
makes anyone feel good, and espec- j
ially on such occasions as this was.
Mrs. Moody, the mother of Mrs. >
Jones, lives in this home and with her
sweet disposition, makes any heart
glad to be with her.
A FRIEND.
l|
There Were Others.
As I was putting in a couple of j|
hours loafing around the village store J
and postoffice I got into conversation >
with a villager about the war in the
East, and in speaking of the nava l 'jj
battle in the sea of Japan I character
ized Togo as the greatest hero of the j
age. # \
“Wall, I dunr.o about that,” replied j
the man. “We’ve got a few heroes I
right in this town who hain’t so slow
Come down and lemme introduce you i
to the cooper.”
We went down to the cooper shop
and I was introduced and when wo [j
/were outside again my friend said: j|
“Don’t look so much like a hero, £
does he? But lemme tell you what >|
he did. He went up to the city about ||
a year ago and stayed over night at
a hotel. Blew out the six gas jets 1
in his room instead of turning them (I
off, and the gas was going all night. <
Got up as chipper as a squirrel in thj jl
morning and turned two handsprings. I
The hotel said they had lost $2 000 j
worth of gas, but the stuff never made
Bill sneeze. Come down and be in- IJ
troduced to the blacksmith.” >
I followed him ard -•fter a second
introduction he slapped me on the
shoulder and said: l
“Nothin’ heroic about Jim’s look, |
but lemme tell you sumthin’. He went
away to Ohio to visit friends, and
they put him in a foldin’ bed. The
foot riz up and caught him and stood )
him on his*head. He was a prisoner r
for three days* but he never hollered j I
Just waited ’til the old bed got tired i
out and sunk down agin and then he i {
crawled out. Let’s go over to the
, sawmill and see George Coots.”
j I went over to the mill and got a
{ third introduction and on the way back
* to the postoffice my friend said:
“George is cross-eyed and red-head
ed but there are no flies on him. A
> tin peddler come along last summer j
and jumped seven feet. George took |
off his coat and spit on his hands and
. jumped six inches higher and saved;
the town from goin’ all to smash, i <
J Had to bust a lung and break a rib 1
to do it, but that’s the kind of stuff
he’s made of. I don’t say that Togo <
; isn’t a hero, but when you are talk
'i i n / about ’em jest remember that
Pittsboro has shoved three of them to <
\ the front within a year and has got [
more cornin’.”

j the head night and morning with a (I
. brush hard enough to irritate the skin
