Work On Fair Catalogs Begun Although the date is earlier than jsual for such work the task of making ready the catalogs for the Zebulon Fair this fall has been well begun. Already many advertise ments are in hand to be set in type and Messrs Gill and Privette are compiling lists of premiums and other lists of farm crops, produce, canned fruits and vegetables, fancy work and such for which the prizes will be awarded. It is hoped that by placing the catalogs in the hands of the farm ers and others interested many weeks ahead of the time they have heretofore been sent out more in telligent and planned preparation may be made for exhibits and a oetter and more representative fair result. • MORE TAXES NEXT YEAR Taxes will be increased by the lext Congress—even beyond the Resident’s present demands.

Mr. Herring spoke in conclusion, reaffirming his love for the church and his willingness to be of any service possible. He showed the Bible which he has used during his more than forty years of pastoral service, and which he will still use for guidance and consolation, and read portions from the epistles of Paul for the admonishment and en couragement of the church, con cluding not with a farewell, but with an invitation to all present to ‘‘come up and see” him. There was no service at night. The new pastor Rev. G. J. Griffin, is expected for the services on the first Sunday in August, after which there will be pireachjng every Sunday at the church. CLUB^NOTICE On next Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 in the clubhouse at Wakefield the July meeting of the Home Demonstration Club will be held. The local program will be directed by Mrs. Lorenzo Bunn. Japanese Protest Russia’s Action The Japanese government is said to be planning a second protest to Russia because of that country’s invasion of territory in China which Japan claims. The removal of Rus sian troops is demanded. Russia holds that no border violation is involved and that the territory en tered belongs to her by a treaty signed in 1869. Thus the situation in China threatens to become even more complicated, Russia and Ja pan being traditional enemies. Japan’s demand that Russia withdraw her troops from Man chulcuo has been refused and war between the two countries seems imminent. Great war preparation is being made on both sides and it may be only a matter of days before another major war will be raging. But Japan seems to have all she can manage right now in China and a conflict with Russia at this time would be sui cidal to that country. Opening Dates Tobacco Markets Georgia, July 28.

I have a poor opinion of a man who talks to men what women should not hear.—Richardson. NUMBER THREE irscM® Having taken a poll and found that every one is against this col umn coming back into the RE CORD I do hereby welcome myself back into the hearts of my dear public. Yesterday I heard a story that has been well circulated around town about a recently single man who now sports a wife. Another young gentleman who is thinking about getting hooked, went up to him and asked: “Has your wife changed much since you married her?” The newly-made young bride-groom answered, “Yes—my friends, my habits and my hours.” Heed all that, you young beaus. Another young couple hereabouts are very near drowned in the sea of matrimony. The bride and groom are both interested in their neighbors. She reported to him thus: “Darling, the man next door always kisses his \vife whenever he leaves for work. Why don’t you do that?” ‘‘Sweetness,” he replied, “how would I look kissing his wife when I hardly know her?” Too bad all of us can’t be like Anthony Eden. He's fixed for life. His pappy-in-law left him an an nuity paying $25,000 a year. Children are in the news. A 4- year-old son of a father asked his dad not long ago a question relat ing to the traffic problem. Said the boy, ‘‘Daddy, what do you call a man who drives a car?” “Well,” said the poppa, “it all depends on how close he comes to me!” More children! A young mother reports this to me. Her son had brought his young sweetness into the house and wished to play store. He asked his mother if he could and she replied: “Don't make any noise.” “All right moth er,” said his highness, the young ster, “We’ll pretend we don't ad vertise.” Merchants are requested to pay special attention to that. With all the collich goils home Zebulon has taken on new life. Don’t crowd boys. There’s enough to go around. The Roosevelts are good sports. The day before the recent John Roosevelt-Anne Clark nuptials, a Boston news photographer bet the bridegroom to be he wouldn’t be smiling when he came out of the church a married man. John was grim on his church exit next day but when he saw the photog-man he burst into a smile. But the camera-man recently received a $lO check from John on the grounds he had technically won the bet. The following conversation took place between two of the younger ladies of this fair city. The fjjrst, with a raise of her penciled eye brows asked, “Are you and your folks going to take the usual camp ing trip this year?” Replied the second, careful not to smear her lipstick, “Nope, we took down all the screens from the windows and left all the house doors open and we got the same effect.” An enthusiastic Zebulon golfer came home to a late dinner. Dur ing the meal his wife remarked: “Willy tells me he caddied for you this afternoon.” “Well, Fll be darned,” said Willy's poppa, “I thought I’d seen that boy some where before!”
