For Lindbergh Baby
Search Still On
Out of all the columns of print
about the Lindbergh baby, only a
few facts stand out. They are: The
$50,000 ransom has been paid in mark
ed bills by Col. Lindbergh. The ba
by has not been returned.
Every effort possible is still being
made to find the child. Those carry
ing on the negotiations with the kid
napers, say they have established
j “contact with them again and great
' hope is yet held that the baby will be
j restored to its parents.
April Party
I do not know the origin of April t
"001, or why folks are bigger fools
n April than the other eleven months.
Anyway, the biggest and best April
■’ool party was given at the home of 1
Vl rs. S. H. Hoyle in Wakefield, Mes- !
lames Huyle and Joyner being hos- j
e. sc.s of the occasion. The invited
quests were members of the Wake-!
. •id Band, with three members of
’ gers Band—Mr. and Mrs. E. D.
;neh, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. J'oyner,
r. and Mrs. 1). 1). Chamblee, Mr.
id Mrs. Harry Rogers and Mrs.
ed Richardson being present.
First on the program was the ini
it ion. each as their turn came, be
s dressed in a robe, and surround
by the others, had to locate a
listle which was attached to the
ie. Since this was blown by d if
■nt persons at different times, it
is not easy to locate.
Afterwards we were placed on the
it of honor. del' an electric bull)
ts concealed; but no one was a bet
• judge than the one occupying the
iir as to the duration of time he
uld be the honored guest,
l’he stunt of passing odd objects
den under a sheet was the height
fun, as it is not easy to identify
jects unless we have our eyes to
discern.
Next, the guests were invited into
the diningroom for a regular chicken
feed. For this the men were decked
with ladies hats which long ago had
served their purpose, as was thought,
but now served another purpose. The
servings consisted of sparkling water,
seasonably salted, and saucers of
chick feed. On returning to the sit
ting room it was discovered that some
error had played a noticeable part in
the candy: since candy should be
made of sugar and not of cotton
flour dough.
’J'he contest proved a brain test in
the true sense, as we had no use for
our brains for so long.
The salad course with hot waffles
was indeed refreshing, as we had been
led to believe we would get something
appetizing for so long.
Marigolds are among the best
flowers for summit growing, with
the ir golden colm ;; best of all when
b dried, for it can be made into

if', needs to learn to live to fit her
i very need and that of her neighbors,
'’'towers that are both pretty and use
ful are best. Be sure to raise Mari
• golds.
MRS?. C. F. W.
Mrs. E. B. Stallings prefers pan
| sies to any other annual. She says
i that her favorite shrub is the snow
'wll. which is eus'- to grow and beau
tiful when in bloom, and very hardy.
Hatchery To Close
’pho Zebulon Mutual hatchery has
had a very successful season. Mr. O.
L). Massey, who has operated the
hatchery, has given the most careful
attention to the business and has had
the best hatches since the plant was
installed three seasons ago.
Eggs for hatching will be received
only two more weeks —next Monday,
April 18th., and Monday, the 25th.
Those wishing to have chicks to raise
for summer use, should set them now.
The weather is warmer, yet not too
warm to raise chicks most successful
ly. The market indications are that
prices will continue good. So fill a
. trey for one of these last two hatch
ings.
SPECIAL ANNOUN(’EMENT
Let no one think that only those
living in Zebulon can enter the Yard
| and Garden Contest. The contest is
! open to all readers of the Record who
are interested. It must have head
quarters in Zebulon, because it is a
i central point, but that bars no one
| from entering. It is being sponsored
by organizations both inside and out
side of town, and was begun for the
purpose of making our whole commu
n 'y more beautiful.

uecordei ’s Court
ZEBULON RECORDERS COUR r |’
Arthur Duke was accused of dis
posing of mortgaged property. He
was tried by jury and found not guil
ty. It was proven on trial that the
time price charged was above the
cash price more than 10 per cent and
it was on this ground that he was
cleared, since this made the mort
gage illegul.
Nona Winburn was tried for for
nication and adultery and found guil
ty; given 90 days in jail.
Haywood Pace was found guilty
of assault; found guilty, but dis
charged on payment of the costs.
John Nihozinoki was found guilty
of trying to sell a half pint of whis
key to a merchant on main street,
le was taxed with the cost. This young
niun was raised in an orphanage, has
no relatives, and no job. It is hoped
some farmer will give him work for
the summer. Because of need, it is
said he tried the liquor business to
get something to eat.
When the case of Paul Brantley
wsa called he failed to answer. He
had four charges against him: assault
with a deadly weapon with intent to
kill; living in fornication and adultery
and using store for immoral purposes;
driving a car while drunk and trans
porting liquor; assault by holding a
boy and “sicking" a police dog on
him and also threatening to shoot the
boy. Those who went on his bond
were left holding the “sack.”
Owen Ferrell was found guilty of
diunkenoss and disorderly conduct;
discharged upon payment of the costs.
Cigaret Parade
|
j The usual monotony of a spring
morning in town was broken Wecim ;-
day by the sound of an electric calli
ope, or praphephone with loud speak
er, coming down main street. This
calvacade of three cars down the
j street, turned and stopped in front of
I John Bunn’s place of business. Men,
boys and a few women came from
every direction and soon 75 or more
were gathered about the parading
paraphernalia.
All this music, all the excitement
an ( f gathering crowd were caused by
an advertisement of a new cigaret
tobacco made by the Brown Williams
Co. As the crowd stared and listened,
one farmer was heard to remark;
| “The robbers and profiteers have come
Ito town. Look at all those fellows in
! overalls and rags. They are the
ones that were fobbed by the cigaret
| folks to make them rich while the
. poor farmers starve.” And, we walked
on, thinking of the remark, and say
ing to ourself: “Yes, and they are
getting ready to do the same thing
! yet again.”
