THE PINEHURST OUTLOOK i n c o.VTninimo poets ;r3r. Cheatham. Frank IBntler. C. A, iiilth and John Charla McIVflll lUM'i Oolf re's a game called golf, they say, That men and women love to play, v'hen once they learn to get "the swing" 'I hey think it is the "only thing," When' onee they learn to follow through Five miles seems but a rod or two, To chase that pesky little ball, If they can hit the thing at all. It's such an all absorbing game, It puts your petty cares to shame. For tired nerves they say its great, N t.ake up golf 'ere it's too late. Mrs. T. A. Cheatham. The Wily Parion 1 have played many matches and far and wide, I e played 'em for medals and fun Hut the hardest by far, though some over par, Was the one that the minister won. In the semi-finals together He was sure I would win from the start. On the fourth with three up, headed straight for the cup I appeared to be breaking his heart. In the fifth he was five in a bunker I thought I heard him declare After hitting it twice against my advice "Dam the luck, I am living in here." So I eased up to halve it in sixes. At the next I was trapped on my drive. Poor miserable nut, when I came to the putt We both had a chance at a five. lie asked if I thought I could win it. I answered, "As certain as sin." IL squinted to guage her, then offered to wager That ball would never go in. Xow I 1 rather win money than make it And I wanted to cover his dough, Still it seemed but correct to stop and reflect On the chance he was taking Lelow. Xow I ve always been good in my putting But this was as bad as my worst o the parson contrives to match sixes with fives And go off with this hole as his first. He said he'd not mind if I beat him, That he hadn't his eye on the score; it would be lots of. fun if I beat him by one But by no means to beat him by more. &o we rambled along to the finish In about the same way we'd begun, And I couldn't disguise my astonished surprise To discover him two up and one. The Parson was up; he had won it, But he said in a tone sadly blended, Too had it was so and that he couldn't throw The game as he always intended. Tor his duties in Shanghai and China Compelled him to leave in a hurry, To decamp, call a halt, so he had to default In the finals. Now wouldn't you worry? C. A. Nesmith April Howdy do Miss April, Mighty glad you're here, Never fond of Lady March, Acts so mighty queer; One day smiles and sunshine, Next day cross and vexed, Like some sorry people, No telling what comes next. Say Miss March, old lady, What makes you act so mean, Bring the song birds from the South To drive 'em back again? If naming of the months were mine I'd call you old Miss Blizzard. Give me April sun and shine, Give me April wizard. Frank E. Butler. A Few Iaj Off I ain't gwine to work till my dyin' day; 'F I ever lays up enough, I's gwine a go off a while en stay; I'll be takin' a few days off. 'Ca'se de jimson weeds don't bloom but once, En when dey's shed dey's shed; En when you's dead, 'tain't jis' a few mont 's, But you's gwine be a long time dead. I knowed a ' ol ' man died powerful rich Two mules en lan' en a cow. I jis soon die funi fallin' in a ditch, Fer he went to 's grave fum 's plow He never had nothin' 't wus good to eat Ner no piller upon his hed; He never took time to dance wid his feet, But he 's gwine a take a long time dead. I knowed a' ol' ooman wut scrubbed en hoed, En never didn' go nowhar, En when she died de people knowed Dat she had supp'n' hid 'bout dar. Se nought 'a' dressed up en 'a' done supp'n wrong En had 'e a coht-case ple'd. But she didn't have time to live veh long; She 's gwine have a plenty dead. So I says, if I manage to save enough Fum de wages I gits dis yur, I is right den takin' a few days off At one thing en an'er. 'Ca 'se while I is got my mouf en eyes En a little wheel in my head, I's gwine a live fas', fer when I dies I '11 sho be a long time dead. Summer Acttvitie That Pinehurst is developing from a Winter colony to a plantation and year-round center is made strikingly man ifest by the announcement recently maue by the New Era Company to provide elec tric light to the town and vicinity during the Summer as well as the season as hitherto. Beside all the business that goes on v npw orchards which must be in the care of the husbandmen, a dozen or more ,wniiSnrQ tn he built, additions, exten sions, planting and sowing, the permanent residents have so iar increaseu xu f,vn vpnrs that there has been an unprecidented demand for membership in the Country Club tor tne w. ca rrtrw Otttlook to your friends. It saves letter writing. Ask for mailing envelopes. Cartridges Shoot Straight and Hit Hard These two cardinal points of a good cartridge, and also that of reliability, are always found in Win chester ammunition. No matter what caliber cart ridges you want or whether they are for use in a rifle, revolver or pistol you will get the best results by using Winchester make. They are sold everywhere. Accept no substitute, insist upon having Winchester Shells and Cartridges for Sale at the Pinehurst Store, Traps and Eanges. Look for the big " W" on every Box.
