©he Zcbitintt <Rrrnrii VOLUME 10 YE FLAPDOODLE By The Swashbuckler Lawrence Tracey, of the J. H. & W. B. Bunn Company (John, Howard William and Bernice) is the darndest Schtchman I ever saw. He had the nerve to come up to my house and— well, here’s the conversation. Lawrence: ‘How’re you feeling?’ Me: ‘Pretty bad.’ Wife: ‘The doctor says he prob ably won’t live very long in his condition.’ Lawrence: ‘Heh! Heh! ain’t that too bad! Got'any insurance?’ Me: ‘Some.’ Lawrence: ‘Heh! Heh! Heh!’ Me (Kinda angry): What th’ Sam Hill are you laughing for, because I’m dying?’ Lawrence: ‘Naw. Heh! Heh! I was just thinking how nice it is that you’re dying now before the frost kills all the wife’s flowers. Why if you were to wait thirty days I might have to pay as much as two bucks for a funeral design! Heh! Heh! Heh!’ Me: ‘Yeah, Heh! Heh!’ That was Wednesday night. Sunday night Good Samariatan Tracey dropped in again for one of his cheerful little chats. Lawrence: ‘So you ain’t dead yet?’ Me: ‘Nope.’ Lawrence: ‘Ain’t going to die eh?’ Me: ‘Don’t reckon -as how I am’. Lawrence: ’Well, the wife’s flow ers had already been got by the frost so it don’t matter anyway.’ Me: ‘How nice.’ Act Three Same Scene. Me: ‘Have an apple.’ ‘Thanks. They’re a little rotten ain’t they?’ Me: ‘Yeah, but you can eat around the rotten spot.’ Lawrence: ‘Yeah reckon as how I can. Wish you had some good ones though. Crunch! Munch Chew Chew.’ Me: ‘Well, I ain’t. Bite, Crunch, Chew, Chew.’ All was quiet while Lawrence ate around the rotten spot very deftly. When he had nearly finish ed, I turned to his wife and — Me: ‘Christine, you're going to Raleigh tomorrow, aren’t you’ Christine: ‘Yes'. Me: ‘How much did you say the things you were going to buy would cost?’ Christine: ‘Oh, I don’t know, about Ten Dollars.’ Hearing a funny noise I side tracked my attention to Law- THE FOUR-COUNTY NEWSPAPER—WAKE, JOHNSTON, N ASH AND FRANKLIN. ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER NINTH, 1934 Order Property Put on Tax Books The county commissioners Mon day voted to order Auditor Hold ing to put on the tax books $650,- 000 additional personal property valuation "discovered” by Fred Young and Steadman Thompson under their contract to look up unlisted property. Commissioner Swain voted against the motion, on the ground that all the prop erty was owned by corporations none by individuals or partner ships, and that therefore the pro ceeding was discriminatory. There has also been raised the legal question of whether the com missioners have a right to reopen the tax books at this late date. Patronize the advertisers in this newspaper. CHURCH NEWS Baptist At the Baptist Church last Sun day it was decided to go on with the campaign for raising funds to pay off the entire church debt. The response has been such that it is felt the whole sum can be raised at an early date. Pastor Herring reported a good session of the Raleigh Association, with more churches reporting than for several years and an increase in amounts contributed. The local church reported 26 ad ditions during the year, and a gain of 20, some having been lost by letter or by death. Worthy of note also is the increase of 60 per cent in gifts during the year just closed. Free Will Church Sold The building of the Free Will Baptist Church, with the piano, pulpit and seats will be moved to the Free Will Orphanage at Mid dlesex, where a chapel is badly needed. Since the local congrega tion was not able to support an organization, there is a measure of comfort in knowing that their chureh may still serve the denomi nation. METHODIST CHURCH Service* for Sunday, Nov. 11 Sunday school, 10 a. m., Dr. J. F. Coltrane, superintendent. Young People’s meeting, 6:45. Preaching services, 11 a. m. and 7:30 p. m. This is the concluding service for the conference year and a full at tendance of the membership is ex pected. The public is cordially in vited. There were 21 women who took part in the study course at the Methodist parsonage last week. It was an all-day course with lunch served, all those who attended taking something. rence's face and apple.’ His face was pale green and the rotten spot on the apple was gone. Yes, he had eaten core, rotten spot and all when his wife had Bpoken. Me (to myself): ‘Ah Swashie old kid, revenge is sweet. Revenge Is Sweet!’ Curtains Please. dead News Briefs Democrats Win The overwhelming victory for the Democrats on Tuesday was marred by disorder in a number of states. Knife battles and shoot ing resulted in deaths in Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Missouri. Democrats now have a majority in the Senate and 167 seats in the House. The defeat of Upton Sin clair, candidate for governor in California, is not held as a vote against them by Democratic lead ers. In North Carolina results showed a gain by the Republican party, though the state voted Dem ocratic about two to one. Secede Again Down in Louisiana Huey Long advises that the state secede from the Union again, claiming that this is the only way to beat the de pression and to "get rid of all the -crats” in Washington. He asserts that Louisiana could thus become a real Utopia. Education Week This is National Education Week and all over the country organiza ; lions are putting on special pro -1 grams emphasizing the importance of learning. National directors ar ranged these for each day in the week, some phase being studied daily. Cars Collide A serious accident occurred here on Monday night just in front of the Clayton Hotel. A car had been parked at the side of the high i way, standing partly on the pave- I ment. It is said that it carried | headlights but no rear light. Fran -1 cis Wall, coming home from a pic ture show’ at Wakelon, failed to see the parked auto until he was almost on it and swerved to avoid hitting it. His car collided with that of M. M. Faison, which was being driven in the opposite di rection. Before these cars were righted another, driven by Harold Ferebee, orashed into the other side of Mr. Faison’s car, which was badly wrecked. Fortunately neither Mr. Faison nor his wife who was with him, was hurt, except that he suffered a slight injury to one arm. Donnie Brantley, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Brantley, was riding on the running board of the Wall car. Both his legs were broken and he was rushed to a Raleigh hos pital. Miss Sileu Williams of Wen dell suffered a cut on her head. The only car not badly damaged was the one that is said to have caused the trouble. P.T.A. The Parent-Teacher meeting for November will be held on next Tuesday at 8 p. m. in the audi torium at Wakelon School. Dr. R. T. Stimpson, of the State Health Department, will speak. All mem bers are urged to attend and all others who are interested in the school or in health are invited. The average track of a tornado is about one-fifth of a mile a cross and 20 miles long, and is so sharply defined that the houses on one side of a street may be com- j pletely demolished while those on the other side are unharmed. Death Os Mrs. Bryant Parrish On November 2 the death angel visited the home of Bryant Parrish and called his wife. Mrs. Parrish, before her mar riage, was Mary Elizabeth Greene born in Nash County. She had been married 42 years and at her death was 62. She leaves a husband and five sons, E. C., J. Harvey, Rev. A. D. and Otis Parrish, all of Zebulon and Marvin Parrish of Aiken, S. C.; three daughters, Mrs. Moses Liggins, Mrs. Proctor Temple and Miss Lula Parrish, all of Zebulon. Mrs. Parrish was for many years a member of Lees Chapel Baptist Church and was at her death a member of Hales Chapel. A con secrated Christian woman, a de voted companion and loving mother and neighbor. In as much as she will be missed from her home and community we feel that we will see hei* some day in a more abun dant life. Mother and companion is gone and our hearts do grieve, But let us not forget Christ was born to give life to those who believe. Mother is gone, our home is sad; But think of the coming day when our hearts shall be glad. United again with loved ones at last, Knowing that all sorrows are for ever past. —A. D. P. Club News Special Meeting The next meeting of the Depart ment of Literature of the Woman’s Club will be held on Tuesday, No vember 20, at 7:30 p. m. instead of in the afternoon. There will be guests members of the Junior Club and prospective members of the Woman’s Club —and a social hour will be enjoyed after the program. The president of the club offers a small prize to the member re sponsible for the greatest number of guests who may join the Wom an’s Club. Every woman in the club is urged to attend this meet ing without regard to membership in the department. Each one is also urged to do her best to secure new members. Garden Department The Garden Department of the Woman’s Club met on Tuesday p. m. with Mrs. A. S. Hinton. An interesting program had been pre pared and talks by Mrs. C. E. Flowers on "Preparation Planting and Protection of Perennial Beds,” and Mrs. Lela B. Horton on “Plant ing Fall Bulbs,” were both prac tical and helpful. This department will present the program at the general meeting on November 27. Mrs. Hinton, assisted by Mrs. M. M. Faison, served refreshments during a social hour following the program. Rameses 11, of Egypt, had the largest family of which there is a record. Two hundred were in the famil. One hundred and eleven sons and 50 daughters are men tioned in inscriptions made by their father. Patronize our advertisers. NUMBER 19 IIS, THAT : AND THE OTHER: • < ■ ■ '■■■ ! By MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS 1 Often, on meeting again a friend one has not seen for years, one watches for the change of expres sion that indicates the notice of increasing age, or the chance words that reveal the speaker’s inner thought. In such a case there is dubious comfort to be found in what was said to me a few days ago: “Well, your voice sounds natural, if you don’t look so.” Una Brogdeii' has just called me up from Holly Springs to know if I will lend them my costume worn in "The Deestrick Skule” when I was teacher. It seems they have to change from a man teacher to a woman at almost the last mo ment. I only hope they have as good a time with that crazy play as we had when w r e were raising funds to pay for building the Home Demonstration Club at Wakefield. There is a certain compound rec ommended highly for soreness of muscles, neuritis, etc., that is real ly good, but too expensive for many of us to use freely. Here is a sub stitute that does about as well for me, and for several others who have tried it. It even smells pretty much like the higher priced. Take one of those bottles of rubbing al cohol that cost 20 or 25 cents at department stores or toilet coun ters. Into this put one block of gum camphor and all the menthol crystals you can buy for 15 cents. Bet'er have the bottle handy when you buy the menthol crystals, as they evaporate fast. When both camphor and menthol have dis solved in the alcohol it is ready for use. If it is too strong for you, add more alcohol; if not strong enough, add more camphor and menthol crystals. Mr. E. C. Daniel of Zebulon Drug Company says it is harmless for external use—but be sure you do not swallow any of it. It may not be quite fair to Mr. Daniel to ask him about remedies and then use his knowledge to make cheaper ones than those he sells. But he is always nice about it—and you might buy your men thol and camphor gum from him, at least. (He doesn’t know I am saying this.) I had wanted to see Hamlet played in Raleigh this week, but—. However, here is a Hamlet story that is true as can be. A high school girl declared she could not see why her grade on a test paper was not better as she knew she answered every question correctly. She added that one question was: "Do you think Hamlet was mad?” and that she had answered: "No, I do not think so. He may have been slightly vexed, but I am sure he was not mad.” The Rumanian Government has issued a drecree that in the fu ture no waitresses under 40 pears of age shall be employed in public cases, or clubs in that country.
