PAGE EIGH This, That, & The Other By MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS (Continued From First Page) we grow radishes I don’t know. They don’t agree with one of the family, but the garden never looks right without at least one row of them. An article read last week said tomatoes will not have bud rot if *'iven plenty of water at the time * first ones ripen. Is that true? Seems to me I’ve seen bud rot in wet weather, but I may be wrong. One thing I do mean to plant again is Swiss chard. It doesn’t run up to seed and can be used for greens or have its stalks cooked like asparagus, and its leaves are fine for baby chicks. It will most probably be wise for every one to grow all the vegeta bles and melons possible this year; for the chances are we shall not have much fruit.

Z. N. Culpepper sat alone in his unlighted home, listening to the moan of the wind and the downpour of rain, and thinking it was about time his wife was coming home from Virginia, where she had gone to see her par ents. Lights from a fast-driven car flashed for an instant into the room, and Mr. Culpepper knew by the almost instant cessation of the motor’s noise that it had paused at his door. He arose and hurried to the front porch, but running foot steps had taken the unknown call er back to the automobile, which sped on, turning at the next comer to reach the main highway. Much puzzled, the householder glanced around his front porch. At sight of a basket carefully placed where the rain would not hit it, Mr. Culpepper felt that he realized what had befallen him and why the car had dashed off so speedily. He had a fleeting idea of flight, but both reason and hu man kindness told him he needed to face the situation with fortitude —and perhaps a bottle of warm milk. Timidly he approached the bas ket, carefully he inserted a hand beneath its cover. As he had ex pected and feared, warm, soft clothing met his touch. Reaching further, he came in contact with something which he described as being “soft as velvet”. By this time he was near collapse. But it was velvet he had touch ed, and the clothes' in the basket were a contribution by his niece to the rug-making in which Mrs. Cul pepper excels. Seeing no light in the house, and being in a hurry, the donor of the basket’s contents had not knocked at the door nor tried to enter, feeling sure her uncle and aunt would understand THE ZEBULON RECORD when they found the clothing. So it all ended well; but when Mr. Culpepper tells of it there is a' reminiscent gleam of alarm in his 1 eyes; still one wonders whether' the careful listener does not also detect a faint undertone of regret mixed with the overtones of genu ine relief. Colored Column Mr. S. McClain was carried to St. Agnes hospital Tuesday, very sick, being paralyzed on the right side and his brain. He was taken sick at his home Monday night. Not getting better, it was thought best to take him to the hospital. Mrs. Mollie Arp was kept in a few days last week on the sick list. The Training Class is on the seventh lesson.
