AND THE OTHER
B* MM. THEO. B. DATIS
For some time now I’ve had a
kind of hankering to do a col
umn after the manner of Walter
Winchell, or those that hint at
things and leave you wondering.
So here goes.
What young woman came as a
bride to this town some months
ago and is rapidly becoming popu
lar with both old and young be
cause of her good qualities?
What young couple moved to
Zebulon quite recently and declare
they have found it to be really a
friendly town and that they like
living here?
What church last Sunday when
asked by the pastor to raise three
hundred dollars to pay for painting
the building at once subscribed
three hundred and twenty?
What talented woman has giv
en years and years of service in
the Sunday Sshool of a certain
denomination and has the chil
ren’s departments usually well
organized and the teachers and
pupils really working?
What college girl, home for an
unexpected visit, and asked by
her mother if she came to see a
bout a winter coat and if she
wanted to hurry to town to buy
it answered that her time was so
short she couldn’t spare any of
it for buying clothes, but prefer
red to have every minute with
her family and let the new coat
wait ?
What Zebulon matron of the
younger set, wfhen asked about
attending a district club meeting
replied that she’d love to go, but
that she had the missionary soci
ety program for that day and
could not let anyone have the idea
that she put club work ahead of»
church work’
What young man, starting in
business not long ago, has not on
ly become dependable at his place
of work, but has become the
“right hand man” of his Sunday
School teacher?.
Agbin approaches the season,
as the orators would say, when
glorious autumn prepares to trail
her gorgeous robes into the corri
dors of the past, leaving hard-vi
saged winter to reign supreme—
in other words the time is coming
when it will be hard to find some
thing to make fresh-tasting sand
wiches for the children’s lunches.
The following recipe has been
printed before,but it is so good I
for sandwiches, and for use as a
relish that I want to be sure that
everyone has a chance to use it.
Some of you have probably lost
your recipe, anyway; and, too, we
have some new readers.

News Briefs
BUDGET TO RAISE FED PAY
WASHINGTON, NOv. 1— At

porters here today, the president
announced that budget estimates
for hte year 1935-36 will be made
to include a salary increase of 5
per cent for all federal employees.

ers back to their original salaries.

15 per cent. Ten per cent of this
was restored in two instilments
• luring the last session of con
gress.
Charge and Counter Charge
iVli ieal controversies gain in
'.lent as election day draws nearer.
Republicans charge that Demo
crats have used relief funds as a
i means of buying votes. Adminis
i trator Hopkins retorts that hunger
is not debatable. Republicans as
seit that the president’s promise
to raise salaries of government
employees is another attempt to
influence voters. A Democratic
leader states that the use of gov
ernment funds for persuading vot
ers is not confined to his party.
Each day brings more of such
debate.

i Doc Dewell says I’m nervous as

n’t be? Lying in bed all day is
no fun when you have it to do.
I’ve been lying here dreaming
and as my idle fantasies pass by
I see Curly Wallace coming in
1 from a weekend at four-thiity in
the A. M., awakening everyone in
the dormitory as he stumbles in.
Too, I see Sister Martha Bailey
Flowers two-timing Leslie of the
llriney-Deep for Curtis Todd and
then seeing greener pastures else
where seeks out one James O’-
Neal ( also of Wandell. Who was it

Bu-leave me, neighbor, Bobby
Horton is like unto a plucked rose.
He’s fading fast from the memory

Sir Clumsy Jones is doing his

Incidentally, or not, Elaine Ro

Earl Moser is often seen mosey
