YE FLAPDOODLE By Th, Ml ISHRMKI.I It After that slight prevarication last week. I think I shall desist from that line of thought lest people think me careless with the absolute word <> f truth It pains me greatly to learn that certain young ladies of out fait j city doth hold against me faults which can be defined by Mr. Webster as i grievances. Sad but true, several of the younger set doth wax wroth.when ■ever my humble physique doth come j Within range of their sagely vision ■ Duly penitent 1 may be quoted as graving stated quite frankly that I am sorry. Yea, I am sorry that what I sai l ; was true. 1 ran across the word penult in an English Grammar the I other day. Quite naturally my inqus: tive nature(whieh is always asserting 1 itself) did show itself in the manne> of a question, directed at no less ape: sonage than Whitley (hamblee. “What | my good friend,” 1 questioned, “doe - * j penult mean?” —“Oh,” replied Whitley sage-like, “That’s a little nut that doth j gi ow beneath the surface of the groun 1 ] Haven’t you ever heard of salted * penults?” Incidentally, Whitley als> ! thinks a colonel is the meaty part of i a nut. May 1 mention the young < lady who, upon seeing her boy friend , pass by the drug store, on a sunny attei I noon last week did gush, “Oh he'# !better! He’s almost ovr his poison oak. j If he wasn’t, he wouldn’t be down th street!” Monday of this week what should hold up the freight of the 1 Norfolk Southern Railway but sou i goats. Seeking shade, the goats found it in abundance underneath the box | ears of a train which was at that time without means of locomotion. W hen said cars were affixed to the engine i said goats did still sleep in peace Numerous pleas and anxious calls did fail to induce the goats from the:i i siesta. Fulling, tugging, sweating an j yelling the brakemen, aided and abetted Iby Mr. Bill Fletcher, the odoriferous , animals were finally removed to r I safe distance from the locomotive an 1 I its trailers. As the train pulled jerkily 1 from the yard several spectators were left to ponder the question as to which were the goats of the occasion; The kids, or the men. Quite recently I heard some | erson speaking ol J another’s face. It seems that the per son in question possessed a double lip Personally, I’d rather be doubl lipped than two faced! Still anoth er gent asked why I took tilings so seriously. “I don't know,” I replied, “I always take things seriously.”— "S I notice,” he came back, “Maybe that the reason you haven’t returned thr knife I loaned you two weeks ago’ Pardon me, but is my face RED?!— I—Who, 1 —Who, oh who is the couple that goes visiting and breaks down swings ! —Driving out to the Gar Hole on a late evening last week, I was surprised to see nude forms disappearing thru ith - thickets.

See no evil speak no— etc. and etc Satisky Moves To Fayetteville On Tuesday of this week P. Satisky with his family, moved to Fayette ville to live. It i< safe to say that there are few men in Zebulon who would be reall; missed as will the man who for about twenty years was the proprietor of Satisky’s Department Store. He held the friendship of customers and eni plover alike, and no appeal for hel for the needy or for the community uplift went unheeded by him. Mrs. Satisky will also be missed by her neighbors, to whom she was a. ways a friend; and the younger mem bers of the family likewise hold place of esteem in the town and community With his sons, Harry and Aaron Mr. Satisky will operate a loan busi ness in Fayetteville. * N I'M HER 5"
