Silt# Zebulon Zterorb VOLUME XIII j This, That And I The Other j It was a long time before I ever got up nerve enough to go into a beauty parlor. Or beauty shop, if you prefer the word. Not that I didn’t need beautification, but it seemed presumptuous to hope that they could do much for me—and it cost money, too. You see I grew up with the idea that the Lord up with the idea that if the Lord wanted you to be pretty He made you so to begin with and that if He made you otherwise than beauti ful it was your place to be resigned and try to live so that folks would say of you: “She is not pretty, but she is a mighty good girl.” It is probable that I should nev er have manifested a change of opinion if we hadn’t bought this paper. It seemed rather unfair to ask them to advertise hairdressing and such and never give them any trade. My husband and the boys could get haircuts and show re ciprocity toward the barbers —but there was nobody but me to get waved at a beauty shop. That’s one of the reasons why I went the first time. If you, like me, are one of those women who have for years and years stooped at mere or less fre quent intervals over a bowl of water and doused long hair in soapsuds, rinsed it out, rubbed in more suds, rinsed again and then sat around waiting for the mass to dry enough for you to comb it and find that it would hardly hold your hairpens, you know how to appreciate the difference between that and the shampoo an ‘operator’ gives you. You have a big bib affair fastened around your throat and you lie back in a comfortable chair with a rest for the back of your neck while warm lather is rubbed into your scalp and washed out with a spray of water as hot as you want it. And you get all rsfcaced and drowsy— unless you have a guilty feeling that the girl may find it advisable to do more than routine work on your neck and ears. And those operators have away of combing wet hair without pull ing. They set you down in a chair in front of a mirror, work some lotion into your hair, do the queer est ticks with their fingers, and have you all curled before you rea lize it. But you look a bit like a new-hatched biddy that hasn’t dried off. Next they tie a net over your head, stop your ears with cotton, (that may be so you can’t hear it if anybody comments on how you look at that stage), move you to another chair, this time under a bell-shaped thing that blows hot air on your head, which is fitted in the bell almost to your eyes. Some women read then, some embroider, some sit motionless. I go to sleep. Its the best thing I ever had for neuritis. When you are dry they take you back to the chair before the mir ror and comb out the waves till they don't look quite so china-dol lish and you go out either bare headed or wearing your hat with utmost care. The wave lasts vary- THE FOUR COUNTY NEWSPAPER—WAKE, JOHNSTON, NASH AND FRANKLIN Balmy breezes and sunshine CLUB COLUMN On March 19 the Junior Woman’s Club held its regular monthly busi ness meeting at the home of Mrs. Norman Screws. After the business was disposed of the hostesses, Mrs. Screws and Miss Dot Jones, enter tained at bridge and Monopoly. Guests of the club were Miss Ethel Farrior, Mrs. Chas. Flowers, Mrs. Ted Davis, and Mrs. Williard White. Wakelon’s Corner Earle Williams and Jack Greg ory, representing the elementary school in the music appreciation contest at Greensboro on Friday of last week won honor ratings, tho they did not win prizes, which went to Louisburg and Mineral Springs Schools. In the Trisngular Debates on Friday night of last week Wake lon’s affirmative team —Eunice Outlaw and James Alford —won ov er the Spring Hope team, while Ralph House and Charles Flowers were victorious at Wendell. This means that Wakelon will be repre sented at the finals in April, a dis tinction greatly desired. ISAACDANIELS Funeral services were held Tues day afternoon for Mr. Isaac Dan iels, well known farmer of this section. A large number of friends and relatives assembled at his home to pay their final tribute. The funeral services were held at his home by Elder Boswell of Wilson. Interment was made in the family burying ground, beneath a beautiful floral offering. Surviving him are two daugh ters, Mrs. Philip Lewis an Mrs. Claudie Lewis, two brothers, Mr. Mac Daniels of Wilson and Mr. Joe Daniels, and one sister, Mrs. W. C. Hales. ing lengths of time. If you sleep with a net on your head, know how to protect the curl when you use comb or brush, don’t get too warm or spoil the wave with a hat, you may keep it for days. It all depends But when they do that much to and for you for twenty-five cents, theHl never get rich without much work. A permanent, now, is another chapter, or a whole volume. When I learn the names of all those con traptions they use in wrapping your hair and padding your head before taking you to the electric chair and telling you that you mustn’t get thirsty because you can’t have any water, 111 tell you about them. It has been surprising to me to learn that so many men like for their wives to go to the beauty shops. But I suppose that since hey have to live with us they pre fer our looking as well as we can. ZEBULON, NORTH CA ROLINA, FRIDAY, APRIL THIRD, 1936 along with flowers and other signs of spring do not help te beautify backyards and remove rubbish from our premises. We must do this ourselves. The town authori ties desire to encourage and help in every way possible to beautify and make attractive our community. Weeds and refuse of various kinds on vacant lots, rubbish and trash in our backyards make a bad ap pearance not only to visitors but our own people prefer a more cleanly appearance of things. I am asking that every person and family in Zebulon make next week CLEANUP WEEK. If they will collect all the cans, paper and other things that should be carried to the dump and place it near or on the sidewalks the town authori ties will see that is is carried away Let us see how clean we can make our town within the next week. May I also suggest that each bay and man in our community set a tree of some kind and the girls and women plant some flowers. If we will each do something like this, atfer cleaning up our premises. Zebulon will become a pride and pleasure to everyone of us. So, let’s clean up and plant a tree. R: H: Bridgers, Mayor.

In one week recently Cabarrus farmers sold 28,180 pounds of Korean lespedeza seed in addition to making’ heavy seedings on their own farms. Recorders Court As times get better men seem to get worse So it appears from the Little River Recorder’s Court this week. But times are not so good that Leon Allen had ham to eat, so he went out and got one. For the next six moths he will pay for it by working on the state highways. Willie Young, Russell Jones and Emmet Smith formed a liquor cor poration in opposition to the ABC stores which is unlawful. The Court put a threat of 30 days on the roads over them and a fine of SIO.OO and costs on each of them for running counter to the State. C. R. Callahan, put a gun in his pocket and went a riding, arriving finally in court where he was di vorced from ten iron men and some extra pocket change to pay court expenses. Robert Tuck filled his boiler full of hot stuff, steamed into west Zebulon, scared two women from their home through a window and finally arrived at the depot with only his shirt, vest and shoes on. The police welcomed him and es corted him to the city bastile. For six months he will have time to meditate on the way of the trans gresser as he improves our rutty roads. Roy Hedgepeth, late of Rocky Mount, now a boarder with Wake county wrote John Broughton’s name so natural that a merchant paid him good money for it. Judge Rhodes asked him for a loan of SI,OOO till next Superior court which he could not do, so to jail he went. Ollie Perry and Tom Robertson pooled their money on “julip juice” and paid the township SIO.OO each so rthe privilege. Walter Oakley claimed that L. M. King failed to tell hem when he was ready to sell their joint crop and also appropriated various pieces of buildings on Oakley’s farm. After hearing both sides the Court decided to let them settle the matter and dismissed the case. James Brantley was before the Court for carrying a concealed weapon of some kind, and the charge was proven to the Court’s satisfaction, so on first thought James was sent to the roads for ’6O days. On second thought the fine was suspended and SIO.OO and costs substituted. Cecil Lewis was charged with driving while under the influence of liquor and Howard Phillips for a similar offense and also collid ing with another car, but Judge Rhodes, for the same reason the Indian could not bury his wife, “too much business”, these cases went over to the next term of court. Person tobacco growers report excellent results with tobacco following lespedeza ar.d are adopt ing this practice as a new method of rebuilding worn-out tobacco land.

Al though he is in bed, he enjoyed having his friends come in to see him. Mrs. Addie Rhodes and Mr. Jim Weathers of Bunn came and took dinner, also Mrs. E. W. Hood. He was disappointed when Mrs. W. P. Robertson and Mrs. J. M. Eddins didn’t come. They have been coming to celebrate their birthday with him for many years because they are all three 79 about the same time. Mrs. Eddins came the next day. About 40 of his friends came that night. He received several rice little gifts and above all an Easter rabbit with a nest of eggs. He had it put on the mantle where he can see it from the bed. Mrs. P. P. Pace played music and the crowd sang isorigs and hymns which were enjoyed by all. Staudts Bakery sent him a beauti ful decorated cake with birthday greetings on it.. I think what we do for old neo ple to make their last days happy will add shining stars to our crown when we go to Heaven. Mr. Rhodes has been shut in for 14 months. He is very patient but he likes for his friends to come in often and tell him the news. We don’t have a radio and he can't see to read so he don’t know anything unless some one tells him. Cake, pickle and puch were ser ved. Everybody registered in his birthday book and wrote wishes, All departed declaring they had a nice time but don't forget to come back to see him soon. Don’t wait for a birthday. The FCX service has been organ ized in Transylvania County with W. W. Brittain as manager of the local cooperative.
