I acknow ledge my shortcomings and my sins of omission are ever before me. The fault is partly my own and partly due to circumstances. The revenue from our paper is so small we are forced to do a con siderable amount of job work to keep the Record going. Our force is too small to allow unlimited time for assembling personal notes. That job is particularly mine, and I ask over and over for help from those who visit, have visitors, or entertain. There are a few who give unfailing assistance; but many think it seems too desirous of publicity to speak for themselves in giving items. The bad part is that some of these timid ones are those who feel hurt if their names are omitted when mention is made of happenings with which they were connected. Which is wholly natural. We are always delighted to pub lish social and personal news of in terest and if everyone could know the time and effort requifed to make up the columns of personals, co-operation would be easier to se cure.

The Big Little Man On last Friday afternoon 'n Zeb ulon a crowd gathered to watch an unusual performance by a small man whose name no one here seems to know. With one arm off above the elbow, one foot more than half gone, the man was incredibly active and strong. His acts were given on the street, near the postoffice. First, he had a metal barrel containing more than 200 gallons of water placed on his stomach as he lay suspended between two bottle crates. After rocking the barrel gently he threw it off by muscular contraction. A large piece of concrete taken from a roadbed was placed on the man’s body and was broken to piec es by a sledge-hammer wielded by a large colored man. An iron rod held between the teeth of the per former was bent into an arch by the efforts of two men, one at each end, pulling down. A Ford car owned by Brantley Motor Co. was loaded with men and driven CHURCH NEWS 1 BAPTIST CHURCH The following services will be conducted at the Zebulon Baptist Church Sunday, September 11: 9:45 —Sunday School. 11:00 —Morning Worship.

He may not have been sore from his efforts, but some of the spec tators were aching from involun tary contractions of their own mus cles as they watched. The man explained that he was incapacitated for ordinary labor ancf had chosen the work he did as a means of livelihood. With many former pupils and friends of the school present with the hundreds of pupils who as sembled for the opening day, the Wakelon Schools began the fall term for this year on Wednesday of this week. Gone are the days when on such occasions all could gather in the auditorium. Now there is room for only the higher grades, if vis itors are given space. Opening exercises were brief. Supt.

SEES LOW PRICES Wheat prices for the 1939-40 marketing year will remain low i relative to prices in recent years unless there is a material reduc tion in acreage next year or a considerable improvement in world economic conditions and in the world price level, predicts the U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Economics. Five Coil. . To Have Hyde Shows On Midway The office of the Five County Fair is showing great activity these days and Wade Privette, manager of the Fair, reporta that the Fair this year will exceed any thing that has ever been attempted before. Bigger and Better than Ever is the slogan. The Eric B. Hyde Shows will be seen on Mid way. This show is not only one of tht big ones, but one of the best with ten rides, ten shows and some sixty concessions that will com prise every amusement known to carnivals and some that have nev er been seen before on a Midway. The slogan of the Hyde manage ment is always something differ ent. Capt. Edward Leroy, the world’s greatest and most sensa tional high wire walker, will thrill you at every performance. The Capt. is high in the air—eighty seven feet. Also the Three Ri cardos on the flying trapeze, direct from the Ringling Bros.-BavnutffA Bailey circus, and many ot I according to Mr. Privette. ’ I features will be introduced § night. I Children’s day will be Tue I Among the shows that will be $ on the Midway will be the big | show’ housed in a top one huna« 1 and eighty feet long, the Girl Re view, the big colored minstrel 9, Mickey Mouse, the Midget Show with the world’s smallest mother. Even were there no shows and no free acts, the Fair demands tention for its displays of farm and garden crops, flowers, fruits, fancy work, handiwork, cooking, canning, etc. Nowhere are Zebu lon women excelled along these lines and much of their best work will be on exhibit. No entry fee is charged and all are invited to compete for the many worth-while prizes offered. Buyers Blamed For Low Prices Present low prices for tobacco are being blamed on the buyers. One company buyer is said to have stated that with no certainty of crop control next year there may be such a large quantity of tobac co grown that the price may be lower than for years; and com panies caught with large surpluses on hand will stand heavy losses. Committees have met in many sec tions to consider ways and means of remedying the situation. Senti ments for and against crop control for 1939 varies and it is too soon to predict what the outcome may be. RAINBOW COLORS AT FAIR NEW YORK—The main trans verse thoroughfare of the N. Y. World’s Fair 1939 is called Raiiv bow Avenue. Its name comes from the unique color and lighting scheme. Buildings on the right of the Theme Center will, by day, be blue.
