Much Pork Spoiled Home from Bos pltal Becoverlog trom burns EntertainmentsPersonals. Oar venerable townsman, Mr. Junius Bradley, who has been ill for some two weeks, we are glad to report slowly convalesin. Mr. Burton Rodwell, Macon, N. C, was a welcome visitor in the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. G L. Crocker the past Sabbath The past week has reminded one more of spring than midwin ter. Several people who slaught ered their pork had much of it to spoil, while not a few are anxi ously waiting a cold wave in or der to kill their porkers. Among those who attended the inauguration of Gov. Locke Craig, Raleigh, the past week, we se cured the names of the follow ing;: Messrs. J. G. L. Crocker, R. D. B. uaddrev, R. V. Mad- drey, Lee and Harvey Long. Mr. Grover T. Stephenson and wife, Franklin, Va., spent the time between trains Sunday wich his sister, Mrs. Roena M. Mad- drey. Miss Johnnie Pope, who has been a guest of her cousin, Mr C. R. Parker, for several weeks, left for her home in Winston Salem la9t Saturday. The many friends of Mr. Wal ter D. Hancock will be pleased to learn that he is at home again after more than a month's treat ment in a Sanatorium, Suffolk, Va. It will be remembered that erly in Dec 1912. an ox ran away with Mr. Hancock and so severely injured one leg, that am putation was for weeks consider- ed necessary. The hospital phy sicians have succeeded in saving his limb and while he is still on crutches, everything at present points to a complete recovery. Miss Lucy Buffaloe, Jackson, was an esteemed guest of her sister, Mrs. Howard Carlton Mad- drey, from Friday un'il Sunday afternoon. Misses Mamie Edwards and Eulie Foster left Friday for a brief visit to relatives in our sis ter town, Margarettsville. Rev. Lloyd Parker filled his regular monthly appointments at the Baptist church here the past Saturday and Sunday mornings, He dispensed with his Sunday evening service in order to return to the bedside of his aged, sick father. Mrs. Phillip Stephenson and neice, Miss Loula Maddrey. Lew iston, are spending this week ii the pleasant ho ne of Mrs. Bet tie I. Pruden. Little Miss Lois Sears, who was so seriously burned last month, we are pleased to hear is consid erably improved. For weeks it seemed a' though she could hot live. How much she has suffered no one ever know. Her burns on face and hands have healed and fortunately left no ugly scars. Mrs. Rupert Bridgers and chil dren, who visited in the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Jones last week, left Saturday for her ho.ne in Newport News, Va. Prof. Richard Thomas Wyche. President of the National Story teller's League of America, will lecture in the Seaboard High School auditorium Friday, Jan. 24. 1913, commencing at 7:30 P. M. Admission 35 and 15 cents. The people of Seaboard and com munity ought to feel compliment ed at having with them a man of such great power and cultural worth. He is recognized all over this country as the greatest man in his profession, and certainly there is no greater work in the schools of tcdav, than the work in which he is engaged. We do not have this lecture for any financial gain for our school. We regard it from a broader view po'nt. It will serve to give us a broader view of life In truth, this section of the country has never had such an opportunity as this before and we hope our peo ple will give him a packed house. We feel certain every one who comes will get value received. Do not forget the date. The play, "Because I Lovi You" will be presented by the home talent of Seaboard on Fti day evening, January 31, 1913 at 8 o'clock in Seaboard Higtt School auditorium. This play 14 one of the strongest dramas of the modern, romantic style ever1 written. It is a love story and! its sentiment and pathos are of the sterling, honest kind which appeals to every man and woman with a human heart. The comedy element is very strong. It con sists of a humorous gypsy tinker, an eccentric artist.an Irish Major, a negro servant, a gypsy som- brette, an old gypsy woman and a giddy old maid. The hero, an artist, and the heroine, a dash ing, romantic Southern girl, are splendid types of American man; hood and womanhood. Admis sion 25 and 15 cents. v Reserved seats 35 cents. The proceeds from the play will be used for lights in the auditorium. How to Stave on a Good Jot). Long about this timovear locso fellers taka noshun in their heads that theyl either get a job or change their occupashun. A great many rules have been laid down an lotso informashun given on how to get a job. but I ain't ever heard anybody tell howto keep FROM getn one, solm gonto tell how to do so myself. First place, the feller watn to keep from getn a good joboughto give up the one hes got and loaf There are mighty few loafers that get desirable places. Every body hates a quitter. , Seondly, tell vour prospective employer that youcn do anything don't care what ah that youll be ready to start in a coupla weeks. The boss knows that the man who can do "anything" can do nothing very well; hes lookin for somebody with at least a smattrin of experience whocn Ditch right in with his coat off an his sleeves rolled up. Next place; hang out lots at tne pool rooms. Come to think about it, how many substantial, respectable, successful men have you ever heard of bein in a pool room, let alone goin there to hire somebody? Again; be "one of thebovs"by joinin a Booze Ciub. There aint a successful firm in the coun' ry thatl emply a feller who carries booze on his breath. There aint many thatl takem with cigarette stains on their fingers. The fine lookin, "manly" fellers whocn swear by note aint in danger very much either, of getn a good job hooked toem. Another useful innoculashun against good job3 is that chronic infiickshun of mindin other fokses business. People who do much of that pretty soon dont have any of their Wn to mind.
