THE ZEBULON RECORD, ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, MARCH THIRTEENTH, 1936. HOSTILE VALLEY by Ben Ames Williams • Copyright by Ben Ame* William*. WNU Oervloe. CHAPTER VII TENNY went down brook that *-* morning to do Marm Pierce’s bid ding in the matter of the lily root. The girl made her way to a pool she knew, with a rip of singing water at tiie head, crawled out on a log and lay at length, reaching deep into the water with a heavy kitchen knitte to loose one of the roots from the mucky bottom. Saladine came upon her while she was thus en gaged. Along any well-fished strenm there is sure to be a trail that will lead even a stranger to the most advantageous spots from which to try each pool. Saladine was quick to cßscover such a path here. When he first found It, he saw a boot track in the muck, and knew that another angler had gone down brook this same morning. He thought regretfully that if the oth er man had fished the pools, the trout would be not so readily re sponsive now; and as he went on, 4ie began to wonder about this man who had gone downstream before him, and to watch alertly, waiting to overtake the other. But it was not a man whom pres ently he encountered, but a woman, lying along a log which extended into one of the pools, with her head lower than her heels, her ankles crossed, and her heels toward him. While he checked In his tracks, •till and astonished, she brought up out of the water an object which he recognized; one of the thick ileshy root-stocks of the water lily. She washed It clean, and then she rose to her hands and knees on the log, and sat back on her heels, and •o came to her feet and turned to face Jim on the bank behind her here. Her dark eyes widened at sight of him; and Jim looked at her with a pleasurable appreciation. The beauty which she wore was not a elmple matter of hair and lips and eyes, of coloring and conformation. She was, Saladine thought, illum ined and made radiant by some in ward glory. He told her: "I didn’t look to run into anyone, this far from the road.” “It’s not far to where I live,” she •aid simply; and she asked: ‘‘Done anything?” “Not much," he said apologetical ly. ‘‘Some one fished down through lahead of me. That’d scare the itrout I see his tracks. Likely he passed you?” "There’s a steam mill working, Mown below," she reflected. “Likely It was one of the men from there.” 'She was clearly uneasy. “I’ve got to go," she decided, and before he coaid speak to detain her, she was gon*. She vanished among the trees, and he had an Impression of ■n almost musical harmony as site moved. The girl set out for home swift -17. disturbed by this encounter, her Eyes watchful of the woods around. >he came back to the house, and (Marm Pierce saw her uneasiness pnd asked: "What happened, Jenny? See pome one?” "A man, down brook,” Jenny ex amined. “Fishing, he was.” She hesitated. “He didn’t bother me," Ebe said. "He was kind of like Will, lg, and steady. But he said he'd peen tracks all down the brook, flong the path. 1 didn’t know who fight be around." "Thl« man, did he look like he ■night be from Augusta?" Jenny shook her head. "No, more like folks around here,” she declared. "But no one I ever see JConttowd WmW Music Achievement Day at Greensboro The announcement which follows is of greater interest here since Wakelon pupils have taken a num ber of prizes in the annual contests. Music achievement day for stu dents of the sixth and seventh grades in schools throughout the state has been set for Friday, March 27, at the Woman’s College of the University of North Caro lina. Each school may enroll one sixth and one seventh grade pupil in the contest, which is to be held under the joint directorship of Miss More of the music department of the col lege, and Miss Hattie S.

There are no entrance fees or expenses of any kind. The tests are formulated each year by Miss More and are in book let form. The pupils are to write their answers while listening to music with which the questions are concerned. The Finch-Bissette chapter of the U. D. C. met this week with Mrs. J. B. Outlaw. There was a good at tendance which included visitors form Middlesex and Bailey. OUR LOCAL BANK Last September the Peoples Bank and Trust Company of Rocky Mount opened a branch in Zebulon. It has had an unusual amount of business since its opening. Mr. Brown, the cashier, tells us that the business has been twice what they expected it to be in the time it has been operating. He said that a man came in yes terday and opened an account, say ing he had said some time ago that he’d be d d if he ever put his money in another bank. Mr. Brown stated that new accounts were being opened almost every day. We are glad to know this bank is meeting such a fine re sponse fiom our community. The bank is needed and it is necessary for the people to patronize it if it continues to operate. When the old bank closed its doors a number of safety box keys were in the hands of depositors. Some returned them, others did not. If any one who reads this has one of these keys, he will greatly favor the hank by bringing or sending the key to the cashier. The cost of the new keys in cluding sending the drawer lock to the factory would be considerable and by returning the key you will save the bank this extra expense. Look for the Record full-page ad.

Jest A-Whitlin’ And A-Thinkin’ by Pete Gettys A State Farmer Section Feature You read in the papers the awful cost of bad colds in this country— multiply this by all other losses from all the other ailments, and it runs into billions and billions. Was jest a-thinkin—suppose there were no losses from sickness. It woudn’t be all profit, think what it would cost the doctors and drug stores and medicine people. Did you ever think what’d happen if there were no losses on the farm —every littre of pigs a full one— every calf—every colt—every egg hatched and every chick raised— no crop failures —no erosion—no in sect and disease losses? Well, that wouldn’t work—be about like the statement if the fish weren’t can nibals the sea’d be so full of fishes the big boats couldn’t get through. o Was a’readin’ a speech a feller made the other day up in Wiscon sin, “Why I want my boy to be a farmer”, and there’s lots of good sense in it! “I want our boy to be a farmer and live in what the Germans call an ‘erbnaf’, or hereditary home, to which his sisters can return in times of depression, should they marry city men, because:” “1. The farmer has more and bet ter food to eat than most city peo ple. In times of depression he is more certain of a livelihood—if he hasn’t mortgaged the farm. “2. The farmer has better health than city men and lives about 5 years longer, acording to a recent study of an insurance company. “3. The farmer accumulates more property—becomes wealthier than the average city person. Mil lions of city people have almost no property at all—except an auto mobile. Wealth in the cities prob ably four or five times more con centrated than in the rural ter- MRS. B. F. DAVIS Notary Public Zebulon Record Office VALUABLES!

VANCE BROWN, Cashier Deposits Insured Up To $5,000 ritory. “4. The farmer is more likely to enjoy his work than most city people. Most city work is monot onous —tending a machine in a factory, operating a typewriter, standing behind a counter in a re tail store hour after hour “5. The farmer is more likely to rear a family and do his part to promote the welfare of the nation and the race. The family is becom ing smaller and weaker in the cities Only two-thirds enough children are now being born in our large cities to maintain their population nermanently. Conditions of living and the philosophy of life in the cities tend toward extinction. The rural philosophy of life, with its recognition of family as fundamen tal economic as well as social in stitution, tends toward survival.” But the trick in that is for the young fellow to inherit the farm, ipietiy wr"- > *j4 »’< *s* ♦Ji *j* *,« y »,« «j* v l WENDELL \ THEATRE i l WENDELL, N.
