thing they need to be had in Zebulon. This is the

In a short time clean-up week will be observ
ed in Zebulon. Why wait? Now is the best time
to clean up outhouses, back yards, storage
rooms and other places where trash and junk ac
cumulate. It will not take money to make our
town a cleaner, healthier and prettier place.
Work will do the job. Add flowers and shrubs
and there it is!
Dig and plant, —then tell the peddler that
you buy at home. Make your motto: Zebulon a
good town today; a better one tomorrow.
THE OBSERVING EXPERT!
o
Frank Parker Stockbridge, born in New
England, now Irving in Pennsylvania, has travel
ed over much of our country, we would believe
by what he writes. In comparing the nearness of
barns to dwellings and dwellings to the highways
in North Carolina to the greater distance of
buildings from the roads in the South, he has
this observation to make: “I drove thousands of
miles through fine agricultural country in the
South, but seldom saw a farmhouse, only the
roads leading to them.” Wonder where that was.
It could not be the Dismal Swamp of Virginia or
the Everglades of Florida, for while they may be
“fine agricultural country”, they will first need
a big lot of ditching. It is amusing the way Yank
ees (?) get their observations distorted when
they come down South. For instance: the con
clusions of some specialist “a long ways from
home” writing of some problem, or some such
picture as seen from the back end of an obser
vation car. Or he may be flying along over one
of our concrete roads at 60 miles per. In either
case one’s conclusions would naturally be more
or less distorted, even if he were a Tarheel
• swinging through New England.
