Zebitlnn W&tnxii VOLUME 10 ! i HIS, THAI I I AND THE OTHER! ? i * Bv MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS $ * * For some time I had been won dering about it and noticing how cheerful Mr. Debnam and William Lee always look when they come on that big truck to bring the ice. It seemed to me that the biggei the piece of ice needed the broader they smiled. So on last Thursday I asked them straight out if they had not gone in cahoot with the weather man and if they were not partially to blame for the terrible heat. They did not deny it, but Wil liam did promise me that after they sell a certain amount of ice they will take the matter up for consideration, and he intimated that they will not sign a new con tract that calls for such weathei as we’ve been having. I am glad to have been of ser vice to my country. (That word ‘cahoot’ means part nership. It is slangy, but plenty good for the heat of this summer.) After thinking over the matter the other day I decided that if I were to die the family could prob ably hire a cook who would pre pare meals as well as I do; they could buy ready made clothes en tirely instead of in part, and might look better than they do now; they could straighten the rooms, if they ever change enough to prefer an orderly house; it would not cost much to hire some one to take my place on the staff of this little pa per; and it would probably be a re lief to them not to be fussed at; but I honestly do not believe any body but me would ever clean the combs. Speaking of death reminds me of funerals and funerals make me think of flowers; and thinking of funeral flowers makes me eager to pass on a bit of information to those who arrange baskets or de signs for such occasions. Never, never, if possible to keep from doing so, use flowers that have just been cut. They will wither so quickly that you will probably be ashamed of your of fering. Cut them the night before at the latest and place them at once without crowding in wide mouthed jars or bowls of water, letting the entire stem be sub merged. Set them in a cool dark place until you are ready to use them. The stems will then be full of water, the blossom will fre quently have somewhat changed its position, and will stay as you place it. If you arrange a basket of flow ers for a funeral, and if you value the convenience of the undertaker, do not send a container of water to slosh and spill over everything; for such baskets are prone to tip over at a touch. Instead, after having kept the flowers in water for hours beforehand, pack the bas ket with wet moss and into the rooss insert the stems. This will hold them securely, and keep them from slipping and will prevent any mussiness from spilled water. Moss may be found in the woods and m *y be kept on hand. Free it from ’irt, keeping only the fibrous part. THE FOUR-COUNTY NEWSPAPER—WAKE, JOHNSTON, NASH AND FRANKLIN. ZKRLLON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, AUGUST THIRTY-FIRST, 1934 Rev. R. L.

They carry a full line of almost anything a farmer or any one else needs for the home or farm. They are putting on a big special campaign for their falb trade. The Record Publishing Co.i has just printed five thousand bigj double spread circulars advertis ing their bargains and calling at-, tention to the unusual advantages they are offering to the trade dur ing the next several months. Watch for the circulars, read them and then head straightway for some of [these fine bargains at the Supply Co.’s store. I NEW TAILORING BUSINEESB Mr. H. F. Wade has opened aj shop in the room formerly occu j pied by the town clerk next door ,tc Antone’s place. He sells tailor-1 made clothing of the very best make and will be glad to show his fine line of samples to those inter ested in buying a new fall and winter suit. I didn’t think up the foregoing all by myself. I learned it from florists, except that part about finding the moss in the woods. One thing more, and this too, is my own discovery. If y° ur fi°wer stems will not stand being forced I into the moss, take an ice pick and punch a hole for each stem. The more tightly the moss is packed, the longer the blossoms will stay fresh.

In 1922 W. K. Phillips and Avon Privett organized the Phil-Ett com pany and their many friends were 1 offered then, as now, the best of automotive service. For several years the business grew in such leaps that two additions to thej station had to be built. In a few [ more years another station was 1 built in the fork of highways 90 and 91. This station is today the most complete one-stop service station in North Carolina. “Our volume of business today,” stated Mr. Privett last night, “Is nearly ten times as large as it was, then. Through all these years we have never failed to do our utmost in every way possible to satisfy our patrons’ every wish. It is safe to say that any one of the thousands of customers Philette Motor and Parts Co. has had, or has today will give it the best recommendation that could be had anywhere. lEjand now and then in the cour Embryo Lawyers Fail In Bar Test Only forty six of the 109 appli-1 cants were successful in passing ♦he bar examination last week. The examination was the second put up by the North Carolina Bar, Inc., and when the questions were pub lished next day many practicing at torneys were heard to remark that it was a difficult test, and that they were thankful to have already a law license. Most of the lawyers, also are pleased with the- reduced crop of new practitioners. There has been an apparent overproduc tion of lawyer* as well a* of cotton i and tobacco. YEFLARDOODLE BY THE SWISHBUSKER I thought pandemonium or some other animal had broken loose in my garage last Tuesday night. I jumped out of bed and tore out in 'my night-shirt to inspect the car jet cetera, et cetera. Arriving on the scene minus both wits and night shirt (the shirt was left hanging on the screen door latch) I took in at a glance the whole situation. Upon the raditor cap of mine and the Commercial Credit Company’s auto, there is a trim-lined grey hound in full run or lope, at any rate he’s one of these that always has his front feet in the air and his hind feet on the radiator cap. Anyway, again, he was cuting up and yelping like hail-columbia as 1 walked in. In fact, he was so busy snapping and thrashing about, that he didn’t even see me when I en tered. Searching around for the motive, I found an enormous mos quito that was raising cain with the pup’s rear flank. Having his hind feet attached to the cap, he could do nothing but take it and love it. About that time my wife woke me and wanted to know what the trouble was. Well, the dog vanish ed into thin air as did the garage, but the dog’s whines continued to continue. “What’s that dog yelping foi ?” I asked her. “That’s no dog,” she replied, “That’s Rom Moser piacticing on his trumpet again. Get up and pull down the window!” They inform me that Wendell is going to have a minstrel show and that Lonnie Knott is playing the lead vs. Sue Todd and Miss Slucy Prime. Those three are enough to give any man a laugh and when they get blacked up, Then they will indeed be amusing. Can you im rr.anage that! You’re all having to drop your tobacco at such low’ prices this year that maybe you can afford to see Sue, Lucy and Lonnie cavortin’ aiound the stage Friday night. If you’re one of these happy-go-lucky cusses who’ll try anything once, get on your tootsies and toddle ov er to W’indal for the evening. Tonight’s the night. The kid who amused me most this week is the one who wanted to know what a damson was and his mother gave him one, telling him that the “outside and all” was the damson. After eating the fruit and extracting the seed from his mouth, he held it up and inquired, “Muvver, if the over wus the dam son is this the dam-seed?” You win the fur-lined thunder n.ug son. Chicago Teachers Get Back Pay Chicago school teachers are very happy. The city has secured the loan of several million dollars from the federal government to pay up back teacher salaries. Thomas Anthony, known to Phil adelphia, Pa., police as a profes sional pick-pocket, has just been placed in jail for the 81st time in 24 years. NUMBER 9
