MOTHER’S DAY
*
For a good many years it seemed to us that
much of Mother’s Day celebrating was—or
should have been —beside the mark. If any one
neglected his mother all the rest of the year, no
amount of emotion displayed on the second
Sunday in May could atone for it. And if he did
show the proper respect and affection at all
times, a special day was not necessary. The idea
is beautiful, if not unduly commercialized and
we hope all our readers will remember the day
and observe it in the right spirit.
In connection with the day is the offering for
hospital work, which is a most worthy way of
helping a good cause in memory of a dear one.
Let us for the sakes of our mothers and for the
sick and needy contribute as we are able.
EDITORIAL
After an occasional letter or remark inform
ing the editor that this paper is not worth any
thing or that one cannot afford to pay for it
a message like the one below is like a tonic for
weakness. And when it’s penned by a writer
whose mental capacity is that of Mrs. Helen
Whitley and whose love for the community is
so sincere—well it makes us “thank God and
take courage.”
Her message follows:
I just must say “Congratulations!” Your
May 3rd number of the Record is fine. To those
interested in the dear old school it is a treasure.
The home town and its good school and its good
people fill a big place in my memory when I
dwell on happy days and occasions. I always re
joice with those who receive honors specially
those among my old pupils who are filling credi
table positions in a needy world. Remember me
kindly to Brother Davis. And most sincerely I
say—“ Long live the Record.”
Helen P. Whitley.
SEEN AND HEARD
A. V. Medlin entertained the Zebulon Post of
the American Legion at Taylor’s Mill Thursday
night at a fish fry. "Fine fish, fine fry”, report
the Legionaires.
Big Snake
Miss Ruby Bartholomew, 14 year
old girl living near Taylor’s Cross
Roads, showed exceptional bravery
when she calmly walked over to a
snake of unusual color and size and
chopped it to death with a simple
garden hoe. The snake had a black
back with red and black stripes on
his stomach. It measured 3 feet in
length. 11-2 inches in diameter and
was found to be carrying a stinger
over 3-4 of an inch long.
That Crazy Dime
Letter Business
That crazy idea of the dime
chain letter, originating out west
somewhere—where lots of wild and
woolly things come from, has hit
Raleigh with a bang. Everybody is
talking about it, and most every
body is doing it. The scheme has
been banned by the postoffice de
partment as coming under the lot
tery laws, and some of the folks
who have participated may find
themselves in unpleasant situations
about it.
Middlesex Senior
Party
The Senior Class of Middlesex
school was entertained Friday
night at a delightful party by Mrs.
W. K. Ballentine and Mrs. J. M.
Davis at the Ballentine home. Sev
eral contests were held and prizes
M. T. Debnam went to Raleigh on Thursday
to get tobacco planters for his trade, meaning
to advertise them this week. But they were all
bought before he even got them niside his store.
He is trying to secure more and expects them in
a short while.
Not seen, perhaps, but most certainly heard,
were the horns of automobiles that sounded so
continuously during a great part of the exer
cises at Wakelon on last Friday morning.
It is only fair to say that such interruption
at Wakelon is unusual enough to be news; and
it is most probable that to disturb listeners was
not in the mind of the horn's blower. Another
instance of harm being done by want of thought.
Would you believe a man could run a farm in
the heart of Raleigh and make a living at it?
Well, that is what Lonnie Moore is doing. He
has less than a fourth of a city block with homes
all around his “farm” on which he grows pota
to and tomato plants. He has millions of them
growing ready to set. It is wonderful what a lot
can be done with so little.
Ore lady declares that the most impressive
part of any commencement at Wakelon is when
the seniors march down the aisle, heads up,
eyes bright, their clear voices ringing as they
sing, “Lead on, O King Eternal, we follow nol
with fears.”
One gentleman, rather elderly, remarked that
he thought Sexton Johnson’s solo Friday night
especially fine. “Although,” he said, “the words
were odd.” He thought Sexton had sung “Say,
little bug” when the words were “Sail, little
boat.”
“Cash for Trash”—That was a sign carried by
a negro boy along the streets of Raleigh the
other day. And just below the cash for trash
sign were these words, “Wanted: Old Gold.”
Perhaps some people consider old gold trash, but
not a newspaper force.
Driving towards Selma the other day on a
sudden dozens of black bugs began hitting the
wind shield like hail stones. When the “storm”
was over the glass was covered with a liquid re
sembling glycerine. It dried retaining its clear
appearance, but washed off readily when a show
er of rain came.
We met Miss Annie Rose Southerland chaper
oning her grade from the Princeton schools in
Raleigh Wednesday. And she stopped to renew
her subscription to the Record and expressed
her appreciation of the paper and Zebulon in
general. How different was her attitude to that
of some people who have been receiving the pa
per a year on credit and when sent a statement,
were insulted, asking us to stop the Record at
once and refusing to pay what they owed.
In the contest at the Zebulon Supply Store
ending last week, Mrs. Percy Pace and Mrs. Ed
gar Liles won first prizes for correctly count
ing the colors in a rug. Second prizes were won
by Mrs. Wm. Cheeves and Miss Jane Hoyle.
