At least, I believe they mtinued on back page) This week’s Recorder’s Court seems to have been much in lit tle .Although there were only three cases tried, it took all day to dispose of them. The first case was that of Nathaniel Atkinson of Johnston < county. He was tried for carrying | a concealed weapon—a pistol— and was found guilty. A fine of SSO 00 and the costs of the court were taxed on him. Pistol toting does not seem to the Court to be a very favorable occupation. J. C. Rogers, another colored man, seems to have come out at the little end of the horn in mak ing a crop. So he took the residue thereof being mortgaged prop erty, belonging to his landlord, sold it and departed the Riley Hill community for Washington City and other northern points. In Washington he, being a big shot with* $210.00 of his landlord’s morrty in his pocket, took a bigger dosejof insulin which laid him low in a [hospital .But all thj*gs''«spme to tl|:>jse who wait, we have told; %p the law overtook him and judge vjfthgdes sent him to the roads Wr eight months Jfcr dis posinrtpf mortgaged Py T)^^ T - ony-'s sms do not find him, proba bly the Okw will. f / XJp if Ibc Perry neighborhood hear V alt** Perryjf store, lives lone, C.

When caught in one of these illicit love affairs, the wom an wept bitterly, yet charged her lover of assault. Perry, foreseeing a possible day of reckoning, had saved certain and voluminous love epistles stored away in a fruit jar. These he brought for his de fense and incidentally the enter tainment of the vulgar appetites of court hangers on. . A jury trial was demanded. Lawyers had been imported from Wendell and Raleigh to defend the characters of accused good and true citizens of the commonwealth. It is said that one eloquent attorney almost if not quite wept as he plead for his client. Perry is said to have admitted without prompting that he loved his kinswoman by mar riage as he loved no other. Yet when his own personal liberty wa< endangered ,he unhesitatingly and unblushingly told of ten years o' experiences that no decent per «on could listen to without blush ; ng shame. Not only that, but h' brought out evidence preserve and provided for this time o' need. Yet, he loved her!

THE POET AND THE PEASANT By DOCK “Well,” said the Poet, “the ap proach of the new year brings us all to a pause; and, as we look back over the days that have gone and review the happenings in retro spect, we cannot fail but find many opportunities which we missed, many things left undone which should have been done, and too many important things neglected. Yet, withal, to most of us the current year has been most kind, and even a casual review will prove that we have countless thousands of things for which to be thankful We may not have made as much money as we wanted to, but wo have lived. We may not have all 'he other things we wanted, but we do have most of the things we -eally need—and that alone should end 1939 down in the pages of history as a year which was very good to us. “We had happy days and sad hivs in 1939, and we will have hem again in 1940. We have the ->xperiencea of 1939 to guide us in s he coming year, and if we repeat our mistakes and neglect of oppor- Business Changes Made In Zebulon A number of business changes have taken place in Zebulon at the close of the year. Among them are: Raleigh Alford who has been in charge of the furniture depart ment of the Zebulon Supply Co. has accepted a position with the Robertson Fertilizer Co., Norfolk, Va. He will continue making his home in Zebulon to the pleasure of his many friends and the com munity generally. We understand that the Whit ley building where the bowling alley was located will be occupied soon by a grocery store. A Mr. Godwin of Clayton who also owns grocery stores in Selma and Clay ton will open this new store. The building is being renovated and the interior is being painted. TJ*e Page Supply Co., Inc., has jrttfved its stock into the building occupied last fall by the Green burg dry goods store. The same office and sales force will be in charge as last year. They will continue keeping a full line of farm supplies. They will keep at all times a full line of the Smith- Douglas fertilizers for the trade. This fertilizer has built up a great trade in this section . The store in which the Page Supply Co kes be«-n tournee Its opening in Zebulon is being re adapted and renovated. W. M. Page and others have formed a new company and will open at •an early day a full line of grocer ies, farm supplies and fertili zers. Mr. Page’s many friends will be gratified to have him in the mercantile business again. He himself is a good farmer and so knows how to intelligently advise his customers in making farm purchases. The cotton gin formerly owned by S. Z. Gill was rented last fall by the Southern Cotton Oil Co. We understand business was so poor last fall that they will not operate it longer. tunities we will have no one txr blame but ourselves. The new year will bring new problems, but it wil" also bring the means of meeting such problems if we but use the in telligence we are endowed with. “It is a season for making reso lutions. As we hung our 1940 calendars we found there is an extra day ,or, a total of 3GG spot loss sheets on which to write the record of our lives for another year. Let us determine here and now that no action of ours shall be one which we will be ashamed to see written there when we come to ring down the curtain on 1940. Living up to such a resolution will make 1940 the best year of our lives ,and that is as it should be, for if we cannot hope to improve then dark and dismal is the pros pect for our old world.” “That was a mighty fine speech,” said the Peasant, “I hope a lots of folks will read it.” “Thank you,” said the Poet. “In some manner I would like to get across to our readers that this old world is just what we make it for ourselves and others.” NUMBER 27
