(Ehr Zcbulmt Slcrnrii VOLUME XIII | This, That And •• | The Other. MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS J When Emerson wrote his essay on Compensation he failed to mention a minor one, which is this: When you are delayed and can’t get out to cut the young cucumbers until nearly noon you will find that the sun has wilted the leaves on the vines enough for you to have less trouble finding the cucumbers. Experience and observation' have taught me that the man who never worries over how he spends what belongs to him is frequently the same man who causes others a great deal of worry over how he spends what does not belong to him. * Occasionally in reading my Bible I am struck by a passage which 1 have seen dozens of times before, but which had not previously made much impression. It was like that when I was reading recently in the first of Peter’s Epistles, the one written to the elect strangers. After telling them they should not think it strange if called upon to undergo fiery trials, and that they ought to be happy to bear reproach for Christ’s sake, Peter adds that he hopes none of them will suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evil-doer or as a busybody in other men’s matters. The last phrase was the one that made me pause and study. The new Merriam-Webster dic tionary defines a busybody as one officious or inquisitive in the af fairs of others); a meddling person. We all know busybodies of both sexes. They vary as to type if not in species. Some cover their curios ity—or curiousness—with a cloak made of what they call affectionate interest. But looked at closely the cloak will ofteif show a thread of self-gratification running through the weave while at t’mes it is lined with the desire to enlarge and re tell. Some make no pretensions to anything except the wisih to know what you are doing, what you plan to do, why you desire to do what ever it may be, and how you pro pose to accomplish your aims. Some seem obsessed with the idea of giving advice and resent your not acting upon it. And it makes little difference whether they have been in a situation sim ilar to yours. In addition to curios ity busybodies have imagination when it comes to others’ affairs. Still it is rather odd that Peter i should have listed them along in the same sentence with murderers ' thieves and evil-doers. i Did his mind go back to a time, < nearly thirty years before, when he sat in the hall of a palace by i a fire and a maidservant looked < at him and said, “Thou also wast 1 with Jesus of Nazareth”? Did he 3 remember that her repetition of < this statement caused others that 1 stood by to look upon him and say, 1 “Os a truth this fellow was also ] with Him?” Did he fn spite of his lifelong regret over his denial and ' pi (Continued on back page) THE FOUR COUNTY NEWSPAPER—WAKE, JOHNSTON, NASH AND _FRANKLIN ZEBULON, NORTH CA ROLINA, FRIDAY, AUGUST SEVENTH,, 1936 SEEN & HEARD This is from a letter written by ; a favorite niece about her first and only child: “My child is fine, thank you. This hot weather sort er gets him down. He’s! 8 months i now, 6 teeth, 21 pounds, extra . good temper at times, sense of i hearing very acute when he’s ; s’posed to be asleep, loves grass, chicken bones and even our pup’s ■ tail, ears or any other part of his ! anatomy he can get to his mouth, i A very unusual child!” Cause for Celebration | 111 When little Joellen Gill’s) mother : was excited at hearing the fire > alarm one day last week Joellen, i not yet three, remarked consoling > ly: “0, there’s no fire, mother. > That whistle just blew because my birthday is coming in September.” , Where Many Meet A glance at the freight cars , waiting at the station here proves t that we are in connection with , many places. On Wednesday we i noted them from the A&C., the Virginian, the Norfolk and West j ern and the Chesapeake and Ohio 1 as well as the Norfolk-Southern. ( And there was nothing at all spec s ial on that day. r j Try These in Your Crazy Cranium F , The other day we picked up a circular of some modern music , and ran through the list and here are some of the titles we selected at random: “Going to Heaven on my own Expense”; ‘‘Gol Darn Wheel”; “It’s Killing Me”; “Ain’t It a Crying Shi me”; ‘‘Dirty No-Gooder”; “Pig ment and Whiskey Blues”; “I’m Building Up an Awful Letdown”; “Pig Meat Papa”; “Oh Lordy Mama No. 2”; “Lights Out”. And so we might go on and on. The list includes many more of equal charm and merit! No wonder the world has gone crazy almost 1 t erarlly over so-called music) If Chopin, Wagner, Bach, Schubert, and other famous composers and musicians could return to earth, would they not enjoy and appre ciate the wonderful progress made in the musical realm since their departure! A letter written and mailed in Zebulon on June 1 reached the Philippine Islands exactly one month later, July 1. This was by regular mail. Should it be sent by air mail, the time would be short ened almost three-fourths. A few random remarks on the subject of money and wealth. The federal debt is about 34 billions. The states reecntly received 350 millions for relief. Gold ha« been discovered within 50 miles of New York City. An heiress finds that she cannot live on 119 thousand dollars a year. A Virginia man is too busy to look after a 160 acre farm and gives it away. The most cheering Hem comes from an Ohio ! veteran, who sets aside his bonus i to enable him to adopt some or- 1 phan children. ] 1 Did you see the young fellow 1 assing through Zebulon Wednes- 1 day on a bicycle?

Kidnaper Kills Self John Peifer, sentenced to life imprisonment for his part in the kidnapping of William Hamm, Jr., kiled himself two hours after judg ment was pronounced. He is thought to have used poisoned gum for the purpose. Pe'fer was the second kidnaper to commit suicide in a prison cell. The other was Willie Sharkey of the Touhy gang; who hanged him self with his necktie. the edge of town and got a drink for himself and his kid, only the kid had to have milk, while he drank water. He was travelling on a bike with a small trailer hitched on behind. The kid rode in a small wire' cage on top of the The rider, Carrol] Davis, said he got the kid in Canada. It was a frisky five weeks old goat and on it’s way to the big. Centennial in Dallas, Tex as. Here are some factr the young 1 man gave us: He left Fort Worth, March 19, this year.

The baptizing will be at a pond a short distance back of the church Sunday September the 6th, at 10 o'clock. New Manager The return of Paul Cashwell to Zebulon is wolcomed for more than one reason. It is good to have a former citizen back with us. Be sides, hia coming as district man ager means that so much new bus iness is being transacted in this section by Carolina Power and < Light Co., that G. T. McEldery needed some one to help him with the increased amount of work. This position was given to Mr. Cash- 1 well. < No house being available at this < time, Mr. Cashwell’a family have < not moved to Zebuon, but it is c hoped that suitable arrangements may be made at an early date. I was down at the city’s ice mfg. Co. one day this week and as I loafed with the owner, I noticed that lots of people brought water melons and cantaloupes to be iced overnight free of charge. Now that’si kind o’ like a Doc tor friend of mine who attends a lot of big to-doos. He doesn’t mind a little sociable drink with a friend I now and then. Now naturally he’s a big shot and everybody wants to , stand in with the big shot, so-o-o . they all bring out their flasks for a little sociable drink. One drink won’t make a man drunk, and none I of the friends get tight, but poor . old medico has so many friends who are such good friends that he , has to drink with them to keep . from hurting their feelings). Con sequently, ere night falls, the Doc. t is in a bad way. Now people ought to practice t temperance in putting watermel ons on ice Now after I had put , my melon in, I’ll bet there were r fifty others that came. Well, here’B the dope. When he put my agua loupe on storage, it didn’t cost much, but when he put fifty on— t figuring that the loss of low tem -1 perature cost 10c, there was the * tidy tip of $5 staring him in the 1 face. Now here is the bitter end of the affair. Most of the people i who brought their melons were owners of electrical refrigeratorsl Yes, — I own one too! Since we are on electrical re- I frigerators— I always like to men ’ tion when the madam and I first | bought the thing we now have— ; It is the small two-for-five va riety and lucky for us it was! One Sunday, the wife and I went to Selma to live on some relations for the day and just before we left I opened up the box for a drink of ice water. In the slamalam of get ting off, I must have left the door open. Anyway, when we got back I heard a noise that sounded as though a young aeroplane was sprouting wings in my back hall. i Upon investigation the racket i proved to be nothing but the light meter having a fit without taking* time out for lunch. I calmed it as best I could. (That’s the only me ter I’ve ever seen that could run at top speed all the time without a hot-box). Anyway, I went on in to the kitchen and found icicles hanging from the chandelier and a two foot coat of ice on the floor. The cockroaches were out having their winter Olympic games and I broke up a good game of hockey when I opened the door. This sum mer when we finally got all the ice out of the kitchen I vowed to never again leave the refrigerator door open. What’s that you say? You say, “Will it still freeze like that?” Well, not exactly, you see we later found out that I had burned out the freezing juice to such an extent that it’s all the Uttle thing can do now to keep its insidea cool enough for ice cubes. Truthfully yours The Swashbuckler. NUMBER 5
