It is double, is made of some thing that looks like a cross, be tween drawnwork and crochet, and is nicely hemmed. She also sent a note sayin.% she thought she had me beat on dishrags and asked my opinion. Honesty compels me to admit'that sue is most probably right, if one does not mind a bit of extra expense—for I’m pretty sure the one she sent me cost more than two and one-half cents. N. B.: I am perfectly willing, even glad, to be put in the wrong by as many readers as will back up their arguments with nice, Dew' dishrags. “Reading maketh a full man” — or woman. Our son’s wife is usual ly a quiet little thing, letting the rest of us monopolize the speaking parts in any acts we put on, but at dinner last Saturday she suddenly remarked that Ted had read to her from a book on the art of conver sation and that she knew all about how to proceed. She said one must lead up to an interesting topic, “like this”. And turning to me she inquired politely, “You won’t have a cigar, will you?” I hadn’t read the book and didn't know what 1 was supposed to answer, but it did n’t matter. We laughed .and whoop ed while Evelyn kept trying to tell us what conversation is. Finally she admitted that she did go to sleep while Ted was reading to her; but she had gathered that the way to be a good conversationalist is mostly to listen attentively to what t he other person says. I’m sure that definition can’t be beat. And judged by that standard, Evelyn is the best in our family. i ! DR. CHAS E.

The old Harris Hardware store is fast being transformed into a I modern theatre. Excavations have been made for an elevated floor, the second story has been lowered for a balcony and concrete is being poured for the floor. When com pleted Zebulon will have one of the most commodious and comfortable show houses in this section. On the adjoining lot to the thea tre M. C. Medlin is erecting a brick building to house a modern case. The walls are rapidly rising and Mr. Medlin hopes to open a first class eating place by April first. On tba same block Worth Hinton: is tearing down the old wooden j store house preparatory to erect | g a brick structure to house his ■y cleaning and pressing plant, i W. N.

The pro gram, directed by Mrs,. C. V. Whit ley, was based on Home Missions, and was a part of the special study for the Week of Prayer for this cause. Mrs* Wiley Valentine made the main talk, giving a compre hensive ard interesting review of “Follow Me”, a new m ssion study book by Mrs. Una Roberts Law rence. She was followed by Mrs. Herring who discussed work with the Indians in this state. Because Easter Monday is the time for the regular meeting of the Northside Circle, the date as been advanced to next Monday p. m. Mrs. C. V. Whitley will be hostess. An unusually large congregation heard Pastor Herring at the Baptist chuich last Sunday morning. On next preaching day Mr. Herring w 11 conduct a special, service for young people, with older persons urged to attend also. The W. M. S. of Wakefield is, observing the special season of prayer today. Members of the Zebulon W. M. S. and church are .invited to attend the all-day meet ing in the church at Wakefield. P. -T. A. MEETING Tht monthly metjin|!: of the Wakelon P. -T. A. met Tuesday evening in the school auditorium. A vqry interesting program of songs and a playlet by pupils of the elementary school was, given. Reports were called for by Mrs. J. E. Gill, president. Mrs. Andrew Jones reported that students in the elementary and high schools had read over 1,000 books from the li brary during the month. After the business meeting, Prof. E. H. Moser introduced Rev. J. W. Bradley, patsor of the local Meth odist church. Mr- Bradley spoke on things to be done fn the home and among the teachers to make the school a success. Among them he mentioned the teaching of obed ience to children by parents. He also said parents should discuss those things concerning a child that a teacher ought to know. A teach er* should never be criticised before a child. Teachers should visit in the homes of their students so as to know the home and thus appre ciate the home problems of the child as well as the advantages. He emphasized the fact that no matter how well teachers might instruct, the student must remember that he learns for himself. SHOOTING NEAR ZEBULON On last Sunday morning Henry Ferrell was shot by Romas Horton as a climax to a blackjack game. Both are Negroes. Horton was ar rested by deputy G. C. Massey and was taken o Raleigh, where he is held in jail wifTfout bond. Ferrell was taken to a hospital where it was found that the bullet had torn his liver and there was scant hope for his recovery. The third of the open forums at Wakelon school will be Friday night at 8:00 o’clock. The two pre vious, ones very good, but this one should appeal to every member of the family. The subject to be discussed is The Future of the American Home. The speaker will he Dr. Chas; N. Burrows, Profes sor of Sociology, Simpson College, lowa. Dr. Eurrows has just com pleted a series of open forums in California, Texas, and Kansas. He is an outstanding character in the field of Sociology. He was reared on a farm in Missouri and educated at Wesleyan and Harvard Uni versities. Following Dr. Burrows address thirty minutes will be given to the audience to ask questions or give their views on the subject under cons deration. It is hoped that the auditorium will be filled with peo ple and afford an unusual oppor tunity to hear a national character discuss one of t he vital questions of the day. Come out to hear Dr. Burrows at 8:00 o’clock, Friday evening. DR. BULLA AT WAKELON MARCH 24 Dr. Bulla, County Health Officer, will be at Wakelon on Wednesday morning, March 24. from 9:30 to 11:30” to make examination of all children expecting to enter school next fall. Parents will please bring their children between 9:30 and 11:30 Wednesday, March 24. They are asked not to forget the time and to bring their children on that day. - BASKETBALL On Monday n ght of this week the Zebulon All-Stars played Mid dlesex All-Stars in the Wakelon gymnasium.

To Adjourn March 18 North Carolina’s General Assem bly has voted to adjourn on March 18 and Wednesday of this week was set as the deadline for new bills to be introduced. Thursday was set for the much discussed trip of the legislators to Edenton where much of the state’s early history had its setting. New bills were being rushed in for intro duction before Wednesday. Little Roy Wilson, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Wilson of our city may not be exactly according to Hoyle when it comes, to giving answer* to riddles in his Ist grade reader, but he certainly shows a of logic that is wonderful t 6 behold. Roy s mother was, helping him one night recently with his lesson when they came to one of the afore menitoned riddles. ‘‘What is if,*’ read our hero, “that stands up straight, and has a bald head?”. “Aw, that's, easy,” he comment ed, “It’s a preacher.” I believe you have someth ng there, Roy. • I never hear E’ernice Bunn laugh that I aVn not reminded of our trip to Florida a couple of summers ago. So many things hap pened on that trip that ages would be required to fell them all. One particular episode of the trip occurred in Atlanta where we stopped on the way down on busi ness. We had just rounded a corner when a police officer stepped from behind a parked car directly in our path. Jamming on all the brakes possible, I was barely able to stop in the nick of time. The officer nodded his head and looked sternly Tn my direction. I was glad to dr.ve on much more carefully, but no so with Bernice. Sticking his head out the rear window, Bernice Guffawed in the cop’s face. “Hec-000-waah. We like to of got you that time! Whoo-eee wha-wha etc.” The officer stopped in the middle of the street and watched us until we rounded a corner some six blocks further along. I have often wondered just what he thought as he watched us disappear down the traffic lined street. t'robably no other wholesale gro ceryman in this section is more widely known than Bernice. And I daresay that his laugh has sold more orders than all the high pres sure talk on the market today. Zebulons main thoroughfare is fast becom ng the center of a building and business boom, npless* What, with several Electric concerns rushing to open and a theatre in the making, a new dry cleaning plant, case, Drug Store, et cetera and et cetera, we have taken on new TTfe, and may there be no dying. SINGING CLASS COMINGAPRILI The Oxford Singing Class wfill be at Wakelon School auditorium on the evening of April first. This s one of the best evening’s en tertainment coming to this com munity and it is hoped a full house will greet them. NUMBER 36
