THE LAST TIME
He was a slight quarter of a mile
ahead of me, signalling for a lift.
His looks didn't seem to make him
a particularly welcome companion
at first and the car breezed on. At
second glance I put on brakes, and
he came stumbling up, with a limp, :
and climbed-in. '
We drove on for a short distance
and he turned to me:
"Young fellow, you know this is
the last time you will be riding on
this road in a long time"?
The pause in his speech may have
, been more fancied than true?
"I see they are getting ready to
put up the detour signs."
AN ANSWER
A poem from Dean Inge last week
on the "half an inch, half an inch, 1
half an inch shorter" style of dress. ,
brings a fair defender into print
this week in answer. She says:
Half an inch, half an inch,
Half an inch underShut
your blamed eyes,
And then go to thunder?
Who cares if you smile,
Short skirts is the styleCheck
the sensation?
I
Ours not to reason why,
Ours but to go and buy
What fashion decrees. 1
Critics to the right of us?
Critics to the left of us,
Critics behind us?
Say what they please.
FAST TRAVELING
He was a hitch-hiker of exper- 1
ience, and he was proud of his
record. When he wasn't treking over
the country, he said that his business
was interior decorating. He expressed
his views and gave his |
opinions to an attentive ear the ^
other day as we were knocking ^
along the highway: .
"I've been all of the United (
States. A fellow don't have much ^
trouble getting rides if he dresses
nice and keeps shaved. I generally '
go into a hotel when I get to town,
look over the register and see who ,
is headed my way. Then I sorter j
hangs around and gets acquainted j
before the next day. It generally ,
works. I went from Philadelphia '
to Miami this Spring in six days. J

was glad to have me along for he
was lonesome, but that he would
never have picked me up on the
road. There's a lot of folks like
that, and I don't blame them."
The hitch-hiker expressed the
view that in a few more years we
would have California weather in
the East and that hot Summers and
cold Winters would prevail there. He
said he had noticed how the climate
had changed in the past ten years.
THE GOOSHUM GULF
Roy Davis, Editor
The Council boys from here went
over to Garber's Ridge last night to
call on the Kon-Anners.
Gooshum Gulf gets kinder quiet
in the afternoon. Crops laid-by,
you know, and young 'uns and all
are down at Turtle pond beyond
the Ridge.
Our fair-sized cop, Billy Eneezer,
told the city daddies at their powwow
just 'fore sundown the other
night that something had to be
done about these road windburners.
Billy says that the rights of the
town citizens must be protected

They said the fiddling was fine.

"If you leave your business your

bases, were seeking shekels.

there."
OUTSIDE DOPE
Any one picks up a lot of information
about his own town folks
when he chats with others who
'travel' the town. A lot of news and
many sidelights some times come
from outside sources. No one can
know any place if they do not
get an outside view. They are too
close to see it all.

lican members of the Senate finance

rates fixed by the House tariff bill
today despite renewal of the Democratic
attack on the measure.
"The glaring immorality of the
Hawley bill is that it has abandoned *
'protection' as the basic theory of 1

a pernicious and destructive system
of price insurance," Senator
Wheeler, Democrat, Montana, said
in a statement issued by the Dem- <

IN MEMORIAM
MRS. SARAH TWITTY
The patient and cheerful spirit of
Sarah Fitts Henry Palmer, wife of
Robert Cheek Twitty, passed to the
Life Eternal on May 2nd, 1929 from
the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Howard Palmer, in Six Pound, Warren
County. Mrs. Twitty was born
August 16th, 1840, at Palmer
Springs, Virginia. She was the
daughter of Horace Palmer and his
second wife, Varoline Fitts. She had
one full brother, William, and four

half brothers, Horace, Benjamin,
Paul and Jacob, and one sister, Rebecca.
Early in life she joined the
Methodist church, which was the
Church of her forefathers, and was
a consistent member throughout
her long life. She was very young
when she married Robert Cheek
Twitty, only son of James and Caroline
Cheek, his tfife. They were
married from the home of her aunt,
Mrs. Harriet Pitts Thrower. This
union was blessed with nine children,
eight of whom lived to maturity.
The oldest son, William, went
to Buffalo, New York, to live when
twenty-one years old. He became a
successful doctor, having graduated
in Pharmacy and medicine from
the University of-Buffalo. He married
Miss Amelia Claris of that city
and has one son, Robert Claris
Twitty. The second son, James followed
his brother to Buffalo, and
like him, studied Pharmacy in the
same University. Having been reared
on a farm, he found the life of a
druggist too confining and abandoned
it for one in the open, establishing
a successful riding academy
in Buffalo. He married Miss
McLean and died in 1916, leaving
no child. The third son, Robert, became
a Veterinary Surgeon, taking
his course from Columbia Univer-u

College of Veterinary Surgeons, and
practiced successfully in Buffalo, N.

The fourth son, Alston, is a
real estate broker in Bronxville, N.
Y. He married Miss Mildren Newton
of Long Island and has a daughter,
Virginia. The oldest daughter,
Caroline Sterling, married Horace
Palmer 3rd. Harriet Fitts married
Jeff Davis Palmer; each daughter
has children.
Mrs. Twitty was educated at the
Warrenton Female College, when
Mr. Daniel Turner was president.
She remained at this chool later
when he was succeeded by Rev. Mr.
Campbell and Mr. Edwin Parham.
She was a beautiful young
woman. In addition to her loveliness

versationist, with a rare sweetness
of voice. These personal charms re- *
mained till the end of her life.
The married life of Mr. and Mrs.
Twitty was a lovely romance for
more than a half a century. The
last fifteen years of her life she was
totally blind, which affliction her
devoted daughters gave untiringly
of their time and affection to alleviate.
When the sorrows of life had
ceased she was carried to the family
cemetary of her husband, near
Ridgeway and there laid by him to
await a joyful Resurrection.
