At First You Don’t Succeed” Etc. John Ward, who is known in these parts by his straw hat and the odor of his pipe, has not always been a deputy sheriff and made his living by hauling broom com waste and saving the sugar at blockade stills, for he was once a merchant, lumberman and miller at Cheek’s Mill, which property he owned for several years, having bought the Henry Gaveness estate about the year 1907. John got along fine with the farm ing end of the business, being a vete ran horseman, because he had grown up on the farm and had later been in the livery stable business at Ramseur before moving to Cheek’s Mill. He was also successful in buying chickens and eggs, for which he ex changed shoes, calico, tobacco, etc. He < had the store wired all round instead of underpinned, and had a hole thru the floor so he could drop the chick ens thru into the chicken lot. One day one of the Walden girls brought some chickens in and wanted a pair of shoes. She said she wanted a pair of number fives and wouldn’t wear anything larger, so John hand ed her a five which she couldn’t get on at all. Then he handed down a six, telling her this was another number five. She still couldn’t wear these, so he tried a seven, which fitted alright. “What number are these,” the girl asked. "Number fives,” John replied, end the sale was made and everybody satisfied, No So Popular Once a case was being tried at Asheboro, contesting a will, and both parties in the case were named “Will.” Jennie Turner Jones, who was a neighbor of one of the litigants, was called to the stand and the late Hon. W. C. Hammer asked her if she knew anyone by the name of “W81," I know several fey that name." IJJfaina some of them, uien,H said the attor ney. “Well, there is Will Kimrey, and Will Thomas and others,” Mrs. Jones answered. “Do you know Will Mc Pherson?” was then asked. “Yes, I know of him” was the answer. “Who is he?” Mr. Hammer asked. “He ain’t nobody!” Mrs. Jones answered, to which Mr. Hammer laughed as heartily as did the entire court. “Better Come Down” At another time Frank Cox and John McDowell were fighting one an other in court and McDowell’s lawyer was cross-examining Mr. Cox, asking him if he didn’t cuss pretty bad. Mr. Cox said: “Well yes, I cuss a little sometimes.” “Now don’t you cuss a whole lot?” asked the lawyer. “Yes, when I get mad,” admitted Mr. Cox. Isn’t it true that you are a bad cuss er, Mr. Cox. In fact you are known as ‘Cussin ’Frank Cox,’ are you not ?” insisted the attorney. “Well, yes, I I Dr. Giorge R. Salisbury DENTIST Over Reaves Pharmacy Asheboro, N. C.

We stopped at Fayett York’s and found two of his sons cutting cordwood, so the preach er and I grabbed hold of crosscut and •the meantime I dickered over the. axe and assisted the boys a while, in' which provoked the remark from Pet price of the wood some, an offer of! that I “wanted it too cheap and that it was d—d hard work cutting cord wood.” I hastened to introduce the Reverend, but was assured by Pet that he “didn’t give a dem if it was the preacher,” he was tellin’ the truth. The purchase was soon made and we, quit the boys. I “Blue Sunday,—And Monday Too” | Several years ago when Ramseur ^ opened its first garage the question : came up about keeping open on Sun- I day. Bob Kearns was in charge, and the charge was whispered around by some, that Bob just as soon make a living without work if possible, or possibly he thought he had done his part in that field; anyway, when he was approached with the request that he close up on Sunday, he readily agreed, saying he’d “bout as soon close up Sunday and Monday both, so far as he was concerned.” “Normal Dimensions” Once when I worked1 in the old com pany store P. A. Fontaine, who was the entertainer of the town on ac count of his ready and great store of knowledge enw h* for * of shoe*, Mr, Fqptaine was a large man and had a. fo°* of course, so his wife remarked that “Phillip” had a I terrible large foot, to which he re plied: “No, I haven’t such a big foot, it’s just wide and long.” Once they were having testimony meeting at the church he attended here and Mr. Fontaine rose and said: “I’m one of these 'up and down’ Christians, I mean to do right, but of ten forget and fail to keep my good intentions; however I try to get enough religion at each revival to do me till the next one.” “Exit Chinaman” Several years ago when Ed Smith was young and stout he was spending some time in Charlotte, and one day went to a Chinese laundry to get some shirts he had left tor laundrying. The Chink asked him for the laundry ticket. Ed felt in all his pockets, but found he had lost the ticket. “No tick ee, no laundry” said the Chinaman. Ed began to roll up his sleeves and said: “Yes, and no laundry, no China man either.” The laundry was pro duced at once. Call For Recruits R. D. Spears, petty officer in change of the U. S.
