i OL. VIII.—
ii hiS, THAI
I AND !ii£ Olrltli
By MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS
I More than ever 1 am convinced of;
■the truth of “Give, and it shall be
■given unto you.” Last Saturday I gave;
■ Mrs. J. A. Cawthorne two of my early i
Idaftodils and one twisted, one-sided I
i mloublc one that never would have:
'■>: ene.l r ght, and her piofuse thanks'
■made me feel a glow of generosity.
■Then too, I was pi'oud of my early
i Tilossoms. But when the family came
from the office that night they brought
*ne a regular armful of daffodils and
■ mquils, sent by Mrs. D. D. Cham
j hlee from her garden out near Rosin-
I burg. Perhaps I should not say gar-
I len in speaking of the flowers at the
jD. D. Chamblee place. They have a
i hole hillside full of them, woods and
'Jail. Those tlowers bloom the earlj
' t st and the latest of any I know. It’s I
I* worth a trip out there to roam around i
anad see what you can find —vines, |
shrubs, bulbs, a’nnuals, perennials.
An interesting duty these days is
Poking over tiie exchanges we get
iom other towns in this state and
from other states.
If you should have the idea that all
~f North Carolina is mentioned in (
the hig dailies, you'd be amazed to
tad these smaller papers. In ail ot
them neighborhood doings are held
to be most important, and many of
hem have a long list of rural corres
pondents. One paper prints news
from both Worry and Joy. Two an
nounce that they will not print with
out pay any notice, announcement
obituary or card of thanks. One even
mates the price of printing obituary
poems as ten cents a line. Anothei
states that one account of a death will
he printed free, but any more must
be paid for. Out in a Kentucky coun
ty there are already nine candidates
for the office of county jailer, to be
elected next September, and one of
the candidates is a woman. The paper
that carries these eat'ds also prints
news from Zebulon, which never fails j
to startle me when I first see the head- j
ing.
' Had you noticed how many women
are crocheting these daysßed
pi eads, mamly, though lunch cloths,
berets and even fugs get a pair of
hands occasionally. One woman’s un
de told her he would give he $25.00
if she finished a spread in a certain
length of time, and she is working
hard to win that money, while herj
friends are giving her their moral
support. The more enthusiastic or in
dustrious workers take their crochet-
Ing to committee meetings and such
and count stitches while the others
talk. Cha rt stitch, double and treble,
t important issues, for out of them
a row squares for a spread. It is all
nteiesting and very much worth
i while.
Just as 1 hate to hear tolks say
, aimed fruit when they mean preserv
,d. I hate to hear knitting and cro
, hrt.ng (••'iifused. Crocheting is done
with out needle that has a hook on
the end. Unless the thread is very
line, or the pattern intricate, the work
i-i.or, rapid!’,'’, and is quite
howy. Years ago every undergar
ment for feminini wear, every pillow
case and dresser cover, had to have
its border of crochet, not to speak of
iows of insertion and medallions of
the same work.
Knitting ijt done with at least two
mooth. straight needles, and four are
used in making tubular pieces, such
a sock . My grandmother could knit
I ;i woolen sock after supper any night
: that was because she was an
unusually fast knitter. Knitted bed
spreads are lovelier than crocheted
And in knitting the terms are d.ffer
etit. fine says “over,”, “purl,” and
i a good many other things 1 don’t
even know. Knitted laces may be
mail of the same thread as crocheted
and still look much finer and be light
er in weight.
, Tatting is done with a shuttle and
| a preat deal of patience as well as
1/ thread of any preferred size. And
■ when it comes to tatting I’m like the
R self-styled expert who said that while
■ he could not do the job well himself,
H he had seen it done and could tel!
■ others about it. M v thread always
I yets knotted before I make many
I! rings. Then, too, tatting is for folks
■ w ith unlimited time.
1} Hairpin Ja< <- was qute popular once, i
|| lis effectively used in combination
■ with other crochet work. It was made
H a its name implies, on a hairpin, with
D a crochet needle. There was a sort of
I gadget sold that can be used instead
I ; hairpin, but it is not much better
■ I', —ls you choose to say croehet-
Ifh.ii.k instead of crochet-needle, that’s (
Hail right. It will not effect the quail- i
■ tv of the work.
U Both Stanly and Lincoln Counties

D way for us to know which is right, hut 1
■t! important fact is that these two (
■ tie.- navi used so little in com-
Ppari.-on to what has been expended
■ ‘ 'hero. Ti e reason offered is ;
Uii ,t hi t’t Stanly and Lincoln use and 1
Pprofit by diversified farming. It I

from Smithfield comes the news)
that because of the unusual number
of fires in that town recently insur
ance companies have threatened to
withdraw from that territory. This
would leave the citizens without pro
tection from fire hazards, and would
be indeed a calamity. In order to pre
vent this, two measures have been ap
proved: The appointing of a secret
committee of three who will work!
| with officials to determine causes of i
• fires and methods of prevention: the
passing of a regulation which provides
| that every property owner shall see
that, houses left vacant are cleaned
and locked up within twenty four)
hours after being vo-ato '.

There is an old saying, “An apple,
a day will keep the doctor away,” but
the oca! doctors have found, in.. ntedj
ior dune something of the sort that i-'
eve n better. For you may not be able
o get the apple today, or any day. and j
f you did get one in June, you could!
not keep it tint ii January.
Did you read their proposition a few j
wo. ks ago? Then you should see Drs j
Barbee and Flowers r.ght away and
make arrangement to join their good
health club. For only two dollars a
month they will look after all your
ails and ills, except one or two excep
tions that affect few of us and then
not very frequently. They got the idea
from "Hard Times Charlie” and it’s a
good one—that is for the folks. See
the doctors right away and they will
tell you all about it. But we are about
to forget the most important thing in
this, outside the tw r o dollars. Their
proposition is on a wholesale scale.
I Whether you are one, or have two or
i twenty-five in your family, it is the
| same —just two dollars for the whole
family.
Never have the average run of folks
had such an offer made that fits into
) the present conditions. Don’t forget
two dollars a month brings the doctor
and keeps disease away from the whole
family.

Wo have been so busy lately that
the opportunity to see much has pass
ed us by, but having pretty good hear
‘ ing. ns we’ve gone up and down the
.-diet!, we have heard tjuite a bit.
Some ot it .s worth repeating, while
other would not hear repeating to the
1 public.
j Now Sheriff Massey was telling us
about catching a Zebulon citizen hav
.ng more than a wee bit of the wrong
kind of medicine for a well man. and
it seemed the fellow was in somewhat
of a predicament. Well, our versatile
friend Seymore Chamblee came to the
rscue of the gentleman in trouble. He
said, now if he will only furnish the
j officers with a list of all the m» n in
I Zebulon whom he has furn -ned
! liquor, IT, guarantee he will be turn
ed loose. Well, we have not’ heard
whether he furnished the list or not
but wo are listening,
i Then we heard S. Z. Gill make this
jpiojis: i to one of hs neighbors who
' v anted some machine equipment and
■did n t have the money to pay for it;
Now you take the stuff along, i< you
mean to pay for it, till you can. But
if you deed" you are never, going to
i pay for it well, then just bring it
j back.
I Two prominent men met on the
street one <la\ not long ago. In dis
, uig 'in present financial situation
I in our community, one remarked that
i he would not he surprised to see just
• any man in the town go into bank
ruptcy. The other, with apparent
heat and feeing said he certainly
would not be one of them. But the
power of example, habit, necessity, is]
a wonderful force among people.
Then there was Willard Gill seen
taking most anybody who would look
and listen out front at the new gro
cery store where he works and show
ing them his first effort at decorating
a display window. And it looked good
enough to eat. In fact we are sure
some ate it. Willard was a pretty good
auto mechanic, but he is a most excel
lent salesman.
