DAVIB | *. ++++t++++++++++ l H , ++++t. How is it that a man who can’t even back his car out of his own yard without ruining the shrubs and flowers nearby still feels per fectly capable of driving to Cali fornia, Florida, or elsewhere? k T.yWunniest mispronunciation I have Hlard for some time was that by a who persisted in calling nasturtiums “nas-ty urchins.” I heard—honestly, I did—of the owner of a small paper who be came offended because one of his advertisers refused to subscribe for the paper. “If,” he said, “you are not enough interested in my paper to subscribe for it, I am not enough interested in your business to advertise it in my columns.’ There’s red-blooded independence for you. It started because my husband is one of those persons who believe there is no such thing as too much canning. He will admit that there may not be enough mouths to fill to use all the stuff in the family, but always adds, “If we don’t need it, somebody else will.” (At times, I feel like answering, “Let ’em can it then.”) j We were in Raleigh and he in sisted on looking for a place that had advertised bootleggers’ jars at ta incredibly cheap price. I told him we had all the fruit jars need ed and more than I felt like filling, but it did no good. He simply had to have some of those cheap jars, most of which were short measure. Trust a bootlegger to cheat a pa tron. An old man who had overheard Ur argument about buying the jars remarked that everybody ought to do a lot of canning and reminded me of what the Bible says about considering the ant. He looked shocked when I said that after they are considered ants are still pesky little critters and were never known to do any good. I have an idea that when Solo mon told the sluggard to “go to the ant; consider her ways and be wise,” he may have meant that the sluggard should get busy and ex terminate the ant.. If not, he probably never had them roaming over his kitchen nor went out to his garden to find a pet snapdrag on or a favorite clump of pinks ruined by them. It may be that they are not really eating the plant roots themselves but merely using them to pasture the aphids which they use for food; the results are as serious as if the ants did the eating. There are dozens of different kinds of ants, so you may do lots ot considering; and when you are through, if you are like me, you’ll want to go right off and buy some carbon disulfide and kill just as many as possible.

Fire at Bunn Bunn was visited by a big dis astrous fire in the business dis trict early Tuesday morning of last week, when the large two story brick building belonging to Free man and Perry, of Louisburg, and occupied by W. E. Beddingtield and S. B. Nash was completely destroy ed by fire. The fire, according to reports from Bunn, had made good headway when discovered and with out firefighting apparatus the building and stocks of goods were at the mercy of the flames. It was most fortunate for the town that other nearby buildings dnd not catch. The estimated losses were as follows: Building, belonging to Freeman and Perry, loss SB,OOO with $5,000 insurance. S. B. Nash stock of merchan dise $1,200, insurance SBOO.OO. W. E. Beddingfield stock of mer- chandise complete loss, but no es-j timate, with no insurance.

Stops will be made at the West Indies, Ha waii, South America and other points before returning. Does South Sulk? Judge Robert Winston North Carolina lawyer, thir ks the South is paying to 0 much attention to commemorating the deeds of the Confederate soldiers. He says the fruit of bitterness and prejudice is the retarded progress of this state and others farther south.. As an instance he cited the fact that pro test has been made against the erection of a peace monument at Appomattox. This monument was to bear likenesses of Gen. Grant and Gen. Lee. Objectors claimed that to place Lee with Grant would be to dishonor the memory of the illustrious Virginian. Judge Win ston believes that southern histo rians are probably as partisan as are those of the North. NRA News From Washington come two im portant items of news from the NRA. One is that Henry Ford has announced that he will co operate fully with all terms of the blue eagle.

Pitt, Wayne and Lenoir counties have reported the beginning of harvest ing the crop, though the season will not be in full swing for two weeks more. Meeting Closes ! Revival services at the local Baptist Church closed on last Sun day night with a number of addi tions by letter and for baptism. Mr. Habel did faithful work under conditions that were probably unique in Zebulon. Pastor Herring was taken sick the first part of the j weekweek and was unable to at tend the services, so the visiting preacher was alone in the pulpit. The extremely hot weather added to the wheat threshing complicat ed the attendance problem for far mers. Mr. Habel made many friends here who will always hold pleasant memories of his stay. The church is greatly benefited by his work. An enjoyed feature of the ser vice on Sunday night w r as the sing ing of two numbers by the men’s quartet of Nashville—J. L.

NUMBER 2 YE FLAPDOODLE By The Swashbuckler The young lady who accused me of having to wear glasses because I had strained my eyes trying to see too much is wrong. I would hardly throw away my haid earn ed money for so unworthy a cause A blind man could see the things I do, provided, of course, that he looked close enough. Now make a crack about a Scot and I’ll brain you. By the by, Cook and Bunn, that bakery team seem to be doing, or rather, were doing fine the other night on the curb in front of the Cook’s house. I suppose Mr. Bunn has told Lib that when she moves away, “To remember the Elmo” Zeke Lewis certainly does believe in casting off the shoes and giving the old tootsies the air. At any rate he was picking them up and laying them down behind the business end of a mule. Zeke Says its easy to plow a straight furrow bare-footed. All he has to do is, sight over his toes at the mules ears and giddap! That’s the advantage over ipsing a tractor. When you’re driving a tractor, you can’t feel the dirt, etc., sqush up between your toes. Hah! is that life! (Don’t get the idea that I want to do it myself. I’m just another of those enthusatic writers who can’t tell a jimson weed from a tomato plant. Still, all of us congressmen can tell you how to raise your crop better. We read it in a book.) I was taking a rest cure last week and the column was not cen sored because of the revival going on at the Baptist Church. Wouldn’t talk about the visiting preacher, but I still prefer our own pastor. Maybe it’s because I’m old fashioned. I dunno. Which brings to mind Amos ’n’ Andy’s latest. Amos ’n’ Andy’s noses got sore so they began to doctor them them selves. Finally the state of affairs had become so painful that Amos went to the doctor. “What seems to be the trouble, Amo3,” inquired the quack. “My nose done got sore and I been using hog lard on it. Ever since den it been gitting sho’tter 'n sho’tter.” I “Amos, don’t you know you been ; using sho’t’nin’ on your nose?” Amos made a break for the door— “ Where you goin’? “I’se going to tell Andy, he’s been rubbing vanishing cream on his!” After all, what does it matter, or does it?
