SEEN & HEARD CAN YOU MATCH THIS W. B Bunn and Co. and Zebulon Supply Co. ordered two whole car loads of matches this week. A car load of matches is all right, because Zebulon cannot manufacture its matches, but when a car load of hay is shipped in, that’s different. This section ought to grow its own hay. -BERNICE MAY BE RIGHT Bernice Bunn says this thing of feeling had is nothing but laziness, he has about decided, and we agree with Bernice in most cases.

Scripture For It A widow who liked a certain bachelor was discussing with him why he had not married. He de clared no one he had asked would have him. She referred him to the scripture which says: Ye ask and receive not because ye ask a miss. He took the hint and asked a Mrs. Bosses or What? Monday the workmen began pouring the floor of the new thea tre. Immediately a dozen men gath- ered to see the job done right. Tuesday morning to the disappoint ment of the crowd work did not start, but at noon M. C. Medlin be gan laying brick on his new case building next door and every body was happy again.

Worth Telling As the associate editor of this paper walked borne one day last week small Billy Bunn, son of the Bernice Bunns, called across the street to her, asking whether she knew iJiey had some little ch:ckens. She didn’t and B lly walked up his side of the highway telling about them. He said they had an old I hen that wapted some chickens so she sat on a nest and made some; ; that he didn’t know if there were i 18 or 16, but that anyway there ■ were too many because she killed^ two in the nest; that then they took out the chickens in a bushel bas ket, which was nearly full. He said also that they were mighty fine chickens, some weighing four pounds, or six pounds or eight pounds. The A. E. much impressed promised to visit the Bunn yard I soon and see those biddies.
