VOL. VIII.— 1 THIS, THAT i aND THE OMR ■ i ii By MRS. TIIEO. 15. DAVIS I've said thousands of foolish things and if I live much longer, I shall probably say a good many more; hut ■ n one count, I’m not guilty: I have never yet said that I understand hu man nature. It might be that one reason for re ferring to towns as feminine is be- j cause if either a woman or a towi ( loses her good name, it takes not only repentance, but years of circumspect icing coupled with good works be-j fore either can possess public confi-j lence again. The Pathfinder said last week that; he colorings of autumn foliage an lore gorgeous this fall than for sever 1 years, and attributes it to the late costs, which allowed leaves to mature nd color naturally, without being i ist-bitten. The magazines are insisting tha icing Golden Rule Week, Dec. 11- families should be served Golden ule Economy Menus and donate to harity what is saved there-by. That’s fine plan for folks who can afford ie menus that are printed in these uigazines; but 1 feel safe in saying iat giving will be done by hundreds ho are not able to provide even these •lt'-denial meals for their own tami es, but must live more cheaply than i at. • ~1 From another state comes a nu(| tter, written by a subscriber to the ECORD, and saying that “narrer pmespun” was made by northern id- and shipped south, and was call-; I northern homespun. She says she| a- born before the Civil Mar an-.! j ■members seeing the bolts of this nth that her father bought for fami use. This letter is much appre ated. One of the things that worries me ery year is having Santa Claus .me far ahead of time and parade ■ound in the stores or on the streets equently in a suit that plainly shows iat it was not made by a good tailor II too often Santa is tall and thin ■ stead of being low. round and fat; -id, it he shakes when he laughs, it more like a pole than a bowl full ' jelly. Santa Claus should nevei e seen by daylight. There is no (amour about cotton batting an* iai-se wigs when plainly seen. There more fascination in writing a lettrr nd sending it up the chimney than in elivering verbal requests for presents . . . but it may be that 1 am getting: Id and cranky, and that modern ways ; ,-e best. If so, on with the parade. An aquaintance was once telling ie how people in the town would ass by her, or meet her, without peaking. She said that many a time he went down street and back home vithout having spoken to a person ex-; ept the merchant or grocer whose tore she patronized. She was much nut over it. 1 asked her if she spoke ,o others, and she seemed amazed ‘Why”, she said, “I never speak first: 1 am sensitive. If folks don’t speak to me first, T never speak to them.' I suggested that perhaps others were sensitive too, hut she didn’t seem to think so. One of the high spots of the year for me is to go to the Sir Walter hotel in Raleigh and look at the pic tyres that are hung in the ballroom ftr exhibition. It costs me nothing elcept going, and it gives memories o beauty that linger for well, I c; l’t yet say how long. This year the p ntings chosen for exhibition may b. seen for a number of days, the owning being on November 30th. )f course T know nothing of paint in . and shall probably never really lil * those canvasses that seem to b- -e the colors plastered on by band ] lit rally, and without benefit of brush ;hi there are so many that are to nv al lost incredibly beautiful I Ido ’t have to look at any others.

Nov. 24 —Two hundred and and eightv-two out-of-state students and eight from foreign countries serve to lend a distinctly cosmopoli tan air to the campus of N. C. State College.

The four counties not represented at State are: Clay j Granville. Stokes and W atauga. Egypt, India. Mexico, Porto Rico Russia and the Canal Zone are ‘he foreign countries an,l possessions rep resented. Two students each con irt from Porte Rico and Kgvpt.

Dog Doesn’t “Get” Master’s English Dunn Dispatch j Greenville, S. C.. Nov. 26 R. G Gains of Central likes to hunt but hav , ing to slay the king’s English just Ito make the hunt successful goes lightly against his grain. J Gains is particular about his Eng lish and attempts to speak with un usual correctness. His favorate sport is bird hunting. He likes dogs. So: He agreed to buy an “excellent hunting dog” if he found it a good re triever. Gains went hunting and shot a bird. “Bring it back," he told the dog which refused to move. More birds | fell. Gains repeated his demand and the dog refused. Gains took the dog back to the own er and explained the animal apparent ly wasn’t trained. He repeated his ! experience. The owner cleared up matters by telling Gains he should have command ed: “Fetch him here.” Gains took the dog Out again, re peated the new phrase and the dog worked perfectly. Jerry: “What do you mean—you were kicked by a surefooted horse?” , Dave: “He kicked at me three times and didn’t miss once.” “What makes you so tired?" “I dreamed all night that 1 was j waiting in line to get tickets for a football game.” Os course I went to Hollywood. Said Angelina Cross. They didn’t offer me a party But that’s the movies’ loss. TOO MUCH MARRIAGE Prince Leopold of Belgium and Prin cess Astrid of Sweden have to be* married three times to make it stick. Two church eeremones and a civil ceremony will go to the weding, and if they are not married by then few are. That means that if they ever try to take three strikes on that. Prying them apart will he harder than open ing the bottom drawer of an antique dresser. They will be so thoroughly married that even shooting one of the parties will not disolve it. They would have to shoot both. Marriage, of course, is an ex<-ellent thing, but taking three shot- at it 'all for one wedding seems over-doing it. Unless the parsons need the fees. RED CROSS MEMBERSHIP DRIVE Mrs. C. E. Flowers reports that tn the drive for members of the Red; * loss, made here last week. $16.00 Iw as sent to headquarters and the same amount kept here to relieve the needs of the poor in this community.

MOUNTAIN OF TALC j —i ■■ ■ Soapstone mountain in Randolph | County has been found to be a miiun | tain of talc, which experts say is of J unusually fine quality.
