©h t Zcbulmt svvrarb . VOLUME XIII ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER ELEVENTH, 1936. This, That And ! The Other. i MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS f ▼ Somehow or other we mortals must have something to be proud of, if we are to hold up our heads and march along instead of being dragged. It doesn’t go much matter as to the source of the pride. Some of us esteem ourselves highly because of beauty; some because of mental at tainmentg or aptitude; some glory in the fact that ancestors were no tables; others are equally vain glorious because they are self made. Parents take enormous pride in the good qualities of their off spring or a perverse conceit in the fact that they are unusually bad, or are ‘problem children’. We glory in our possessions or take some sa tisfaction in telling how poor we are. And we are in sorry state when proud of nothing. I’ve just come through a mild spell of that sort. The hens would n’t lay, the yard was a perfect sight, the house needs painting, the stove-wood doesn’t burn right, this publication is not what it ought to be. And the cow is going dry. I am entirely willing to look mid dle-aged but there was no need to have overdone it. My hair has a right to be gray but it shouldn’t fall out. I even began to wonder whether the three small grandsons are quite such wonders as I had been thinking them. I could add more, but you get the idea. Truly my feet w r ere sinking in the slough of despond while the chilling winds of disappointment and frustration blew around me. I was sore distressed and was not pleasant to live with. And then—l solved the puzzle! It was one of those that have 33 small depressions in a square board and 32 small marble? to fit into all but one of them. You “jump” the marbles along straight lines and the trick is to have only one left and that one right in the middle of the board. Mrs. Ida Hall brought it to amuse Evelyn, our son’s wife, who has not fully recovered from her long illness. It fascinated me and I spent ev ery minute possible trying to work it out. I’d have anywhere from two to aH but six of the marbles left on the board and they’d be just any place. Finally I got so I’d dream about it. I did accidentally get it right once, but had no idea how it happened. I have come in from the shop on “paper night” after one o’clock and realxed by jumping those marble? from one hole to an other. It was not so much perse verance as a sort of obsession. At last I learned how to work it. And am I proud! A new joy ha? come into my life. I have actually accom plished something. Something that not everyone can beat me doing. A slight feeling of superiority makes me more charitable towards those who have not yet worked out the problem of the marbles. I am nearer willing to go on strug gling with the hundred? of baf flements met in living. Some day I may solve another puzzle.

See Womanless Wedding Tonite All who are fond of laughter should attend the Womanless Wed ding at Wakelon tonight, Dec. 11, at 8 o’clock. Do not fail to see this spectacle of beauty of person and beauty of costuming. Words will fail to express your appreciation of this scene. With M. M. Faison as the bride; Willard Gill as bridegroom; Mayor Bridgers as maid of honor; Clar ence Hocutt, best man; F. D. Finch as preacher, one would get his mo ney’s worth without others present. The fair brides-maids are Robert D. Massey, R. Vance Brown, Jack Hinton. Ushers: Rayo Senter, Norman Screws, Judd Robertson. C. V. Whit ley is the father of the bride. Ted and Ferd Davis are the dainty lit tle flower girls? Esten Corbett is the petite ring bearer. Before the ceremony there will be special music.

CHURCH NEWS The regular preaching services will be held at the Methodist church here next Sunday with the new pastor, Rev. J. W. Bradley, in charge. The Raleigh Sunday School As sociation will meet with the Zebulon Baptist Church on next Sunday p. m. at 2 o’clock. A good attendance of all Baptists is earnestly desired and all others are cordially invited to attend. Dr. Walt Johnson on Sunday | morning concluded a series of lec j tures on stewardship at the Bap- I tist church. His final message was ja plea for increased consecration j and activity on the part of the or j ganization. He besought his hear | ers not to say, “I have a soul,” but j “1 am a soul and have a body,” and j stressed the greater importance of things spiritual. A business confer ence followed the worship hour in the morning. Until further notice all evening services at the Baptist church will begin at 7:00 o’clock instead of 7:30. At the conference at the Baptist church last Sunday morning J. M. ! Whitley, senior deacon, was made deacon emeritus, having asked to be released from active duty. Knightdale Baptist church has called Pastor L. R. Evans for full time. This praiseworthy action leaves vacant the pulpits of the other churches Hephzibah and Bethany that have made Mr. Evans field of work. Court Proceedings In the Recorder’s Court on Wed nesday of last week cases as * ;1- low T s were disposed of: 616—State vs. Battle Tomlinson of Wilson Mills.

He appealed to Superior court. Cases against BerkeJy Alford and Martha Brewer were nol pros sed. 509—John Medlin was found guilty of assault with deadly wea pon. Sentence of 4 mos. suspended upon payment of costs and .promise of good behavior for 2 years. 514—Vance Medlin was found * guilty of driving without license. Judgment was suspended on pay ment of costs and promise not to operate a car until license is ob tained. Taxpayers Notice Attention of readers, especially residents of Zebulon, is called to an advertisement in this issue which town officials have had in serted. It will be noted that no more coupon? will be accepted in payment of taxes or assessments. Efforts to use coupons in this way will meet with disappointment. NUMBER 23 BUCKLER JHHHH i I was reading that Gypsy Rose Lee, the famous strip-tease first lady of Broadway, is giving quite j a tumble to columnists. This must be an error, because so far Gypsy hasn’t even sent me a picture post card. Haw! I | ' — ! Can you imagine Mr. Mac Fai son as a lovely bride in a Woman less wedding. Willard Gill is the groom and Mayor Bridgers as the Maid of Honor will be a dream or a scream. Our local J. P. Morgan, Rex Tugwell Brown will be one of the bride’s attendants while Nor man Screws, Judd Robertson and Robert Daniel Massey will be right honorable groomsmen. Ferd Davis and the old Swashbuckler will be flower girls. Oh deah. Our able-bod ied policeman will probably have to call out the riot squad before it is all over. Personally, I’m glad to help the playground cause, but the fewer people who see me dyked out in pink panties and a skirt that hits me way above the knees, the bet ter I’ll like it. I know one man alone who would give his right eye tooth to see me Friday night at 8:00 as I spread sunshine and joy down the aisle of heavenly bliss for Mr. Vayden Whitley to give the bride away. Mrs. H. C. Wade and Miss Mc- Cullers are playing us for suckers and virtually have our names on the dotted line with no unforseen excuses- No mention need be made of the able direction rendered by Mrs. Wade who has had years of experience. Miss McCullers is also well up the line as directors go. Billy Rose and Sally Rand will probably be green with envy when | they see the vast amount of bare beautiful back exposed to merciless gaze of the audience. And the love ly legs which heretofore have been hidden by heaven-sent pants will make their debut. Clarence Hocutt will be some thing with a red necktie and count less others will participate. Believe you me, if you want the laugh of a life-time, you’d better not miss this master production of beauty (?) and grace ( ? ?). Special invitation will be sent the Governor (?) and Carl Goerch. I hope not! P. S. The cast would like to bor row the following: Three evening dresses —two corsets — one girdle (of the long variety) several pairs of hose panties high heeled pumps one bottle of smelling salts one pint of Cobb’s Creek better make that one gallon one set of appropriate pads several picture hats and a goodly number of wigs. The dress rehearsal last night proved to be even far in advance of the directoresses’ greatest expecta tions, and‘even the actors had a hard time keeping their faces straight. I want to take this occa sion to send Toad Horne a special invitation because I know he and the other folks on Skunk River can appreciate fine talen: when they see it. Stage frightfully yours, The Swashbuckler.
