Surely “they” must be wrong; or else we shall be forced to dis count the promises of those who assured us that if beer were sold in this state it would all be per fectly in accord with the law and a great help in breaking up boot legging. My two youngest sons and James Bunn asked me last week to tell them what a goatee is. Next they wanted to know if I could describe a circular staircase. I thought it a part of the youngest’s school work and did my best. But when I fin ished instead of being grateful for information they all began to laugh. It seems that I had told them with gestures—many of them They said they had asked quite a number of persons for the defini tions I gave and that every one of those replying had used gestures first the hands to the chin and next the corkscrew motion of the arm. Try asking and see if your inform ant gesticulates. Every few months I read of a scientist’s predicting that insects will finally destroy man and his work, and I am really beginning to fear that if they don’t destroy me any other w r ay, they will worry me to death. We are told that insects eat or kill at least one-tenth of every year’s crop. Os course most, if not all, of the worms that bother our gardens are merely insects in a certain stage of development. And did you ever see so many bugs, worms spiders and such as there are this season ? Smooth ones, fuzzy ones, solid colors, stripes, dots—just any style you prefer. Fruit, vegetables and flow ers have a hard time trying to be their best selves. And many of the pests sting or bite, which adds to our detestation of them. Spray : pick, dust as you will, the insects are doing their hungry best to de feat you. I do hope all the women who have crocheted bedspreads will put them on exhibition in the fair here l.ext week. I want to look at them Y ears ago I did lots of crocheting and some knitting, but “them days is gone forever,” or so it seems. Busy as I am now, if I were to begin one the folks cleaning up lor my funeral would probably find pieces of it lying around and some one would ask what they were for. And someone else would probably reply-: “Oh, those are just some parts of a bedspread she began y<,ars ago. You know the poor old soul was always starting things she couldn’t finish.

CHAMBLEE Mr. Chamblee Meets Death In Accident It is probable that no death evei shocked and grieved the entire ct n munity more than that of C. H. Chamblee, who was killed on Mon day of this week by an auto truck >ust off the highway in front of his home. Struck in the morning as he was waiting to signal the driver of a wagon when the way was c h ar, Mr. Chamblee was rushed to Rex Hospital, but died shortly af ter eight o’clock P. M. Funeral services were held at Wakefield Baptist Church on Wed nesday afternoon, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Carl Ousley, assisted by Dr. W. R\ Culloni, of Wake For est Attended by many from a dis ' ante as well as by a great gather ing of friends from this community, he service was quiet, unpreten tious, and deeply reverent, as was fitting for the last rite for one whose life had exemplified these traits. M s. Chamblee ( who was before I realriage, Miss Nannie Sentelle | Las the comfort of knowing that' hundreds grieve with her. A brother, M. B. Chamblee; and a sister, Mrs. L. F. W hite, of Mr bane, also survive. Mr. Chamblee, though promi nent in business and in affairs of J government was perhaps at his' best in bis own home, in his church end with his neighbors. He loved them all and was loved of them. j Truly “halh a prince and great man fallen this day in Israel.” Wakelon Record Attendance at Wakelon High' School surpassed all previous rec-j ords for the first two weeks of school.

I Church News The Circle of the Methodist W. M. S. met at the church on Mon day P. M. Plans were made for the Zone meeting which will be held at an early date with the local organ iza.ion. i ■ ■■ ■■ The Northside Circle of the Bap tist W. M. S. met on Monday P. M. v. <th Mrs. R. H. Herting hostess. The Central Circle met at the same time with Mrs. Ted Davis hostess. Both circles are studying the same book on missions. Keep in mind the Promotion Day exercises at the Baptist Church next Sunday morning. The pro gram will be based on the Six Point Record system and will clearly present the work that has been d< le.

The pro gram will begin at ten o’clock in the morning. Lunch will be served at church. All lady members of the local church are asked to attend ' and bring lunch. NUMBER 12 \% wiMm * * * Quite amusing was the incident cccuring the other day incorporat ing to elegant young men of our fair thitty. Grip Daugh’ty and Earl Moses, were standing in front of the post office arguing about who was going to date Mary Frances, the Cock erell girl. The argument seemed to be growing vehement so I am hied out to inquire the whatfor and the who-of. To my surprise, instead of the usual type argument along these lines, they were trying to get each other to date the gel that night. If I were in Mary Frances’ shoes* which I ain’t, thank goodness, Td inquire into the matter further. Be ci.use she’s either losing her appeal or the two gents have “found some body new”. There is a slight chance that there is an element of John Aldenism behind the whole affair. I dunno. * * * Sailor Les seems to be home on leave at which occurrence, Sister Martha Florist’s heart should p *l - itate in a most unusual manner. Put I’m afraid it don’t do it like it used to. There seems to be an in cessant longing in the gel’s heart for Wendell. A casual wonder is, has she aquired a new ‘big moment’ or can’t she see him for the salt? O. K., let’s all go vvonder together. You go wonder first, and I’ll come wonder later. * * * Those numerous grease-spots to he seen on the show window of W. B. Bunn and Company, Inc., Esq., Et Cetera, and Et. Cetera, cause some curiosity, perchance. They were caused by noses, which were pressed against the pane as curious b\ slanders stared at the mighty Tracy walking radio gadgets, and unsuspecting neighbors, thank you. * * * That dainty little fellow with the mincing step (whatever that is) isn’t a toe dancer with the carnival, he’s just Vance Privette who has been swapping work with Bernice. Vance has Bernice by a tender por tion of the anatomy in that he isn’t i oing to give Bernice his wiring hid until Bernice gives him his ra dio* service charge. Uh-huh. ♦ * * By the way, they tell me they’re having a clean hoochie-cootchie show' with the carnival. In that case, my wife and I will ‘ See you at the fair”. Who said hen-pecked! Hen-cooped! Spring Hope Holds Fair Spring Hope is having a big time from Sept. 24th through the 29. h. Their Community Fair is running and there is a big carni val offering all kinds of fun and recreation for those who attend. No one is useless in this world who lightens the burden for some one else.—Dickens.
