®he Zebulon ißrrnriJ Volume XVII This, That, & The Other By MRS. THEO B. DAVIS Whenever anyone is too insis ent upon the use of gentleman and lady instead of man and woman, I remember the Negro girl who was my helper years ago. One day she spoke of a neighbor whom, she had often mentioned and I asked whether the person was married. Painstakingly she replied: “Yes sum, she a married lady. But the gent’mun where she marry, he left her and he living with another lady. And this lady, she living with another gent’mun where ain’t her husband.” Words carry different meanings to different minds. When I heard a certain woman described as “such a sacred person” it took a little time for me to catch the idea. The speaker meant that her friend was serious in manner and deeply concerned about religion. Where I grew up we spoke of a “relish” for meals as something spicy, but not specially nourish ing, * meant to give added flavor to the main items of food. When we lived in a coast town I was surprised to find that a relish there was a substantial dish of meat or fish. I mean when saying a person is clever that he is skillful or dex terous with his hands, or that he readily catches on when shown how to do a certain piece of work. Sometimes for me the word has a touch of being able to turn things to one’s own advantage. A great many use clever as carrying the idea of friendliness and informali ty. I had to learn that. Until I remembered the word, “gorge,” it was hard to know just what was meant by the man who told me he liked ’possum very much, but seldom ate heartily of it because it is “so gorgeous.” A conversation with one of “Jehovah’s Witnesses” revealed to me that she had no idea that religion could mean one’s manner of worship based on belief and faith in whatever gods are wor shipped; that the Christian reli gion is one kind and that there are many others. She had reli gion down in her mind as devil worship, and fervently asserted her belief that it is one of the greatest evils on earth. One of the most foolish of all misuses of words is my own. Some fifty years ago I first saw the word “gubernatorial.” Not having any idea of its meaning, I fancied it had something to with peanuts and read it to myself as “goober natural.” It stuck in my head that way and to this day I never read of a gubernatorial candidate with out a flash of him as a goober natural. When I was a child an oral spelling lesson meant that we spelled the words aloud, standing in class. And to this day when I hear oral hygiene spoken of I have a fleeting notion it means something about clean speech. County Will Hold Free Mule Clinic By JNO. C. ANDERSON County Agent Have you* noticed any loss in weight, unthriftiness, or digestive troubles in your work stock re cently? If so, the trouble is no doubt caused by large, round worms which so often do serious damage to work stock; or bad condition of animal’s teeth. In cooperation with our local veterinarians, I am planning a series of horse and mule clinics throughout the county during the period of February 12 to 21. The purpose of these clinics will be to examine your horses and mules by a graduate veterinarian, and if the veterinarian thinks it well to give the animal treatment, this treatment will be given at a reduced price. As stated above, the majority of the horses and mules in North Carolina are heavily infested with worms or other internal parasites. Treatment for these parasites should be administered only by a graduate veterinarian, who will be prepared to give the treatment at these clinics at a cost of SI .00 per head. If it is found that your horse or mule needs work on his teeth, the teeth will be filed or floated at a cost of SI.OO. Any additional work will be extra, but at a reasonable cost, all depend ent upon the amount of work necessary. I have already had a number of favorable reports from farmers who have had their animals treated for worms, in other coun ties, and believe you would find this treatment very beneficial to your work stock. Should you want your animals to receive this treat ment, however, feed should be withheld for at least 12 hours be fore the treatment. A graduate veterinarian will be present at the clinic and the ex amination will be free. Below are the dates and places the clinics will be held. Friday, February 14, 2 p. m. — Rolesville, Bob Williams’ shop. Wednesday, Feb. 18, 2 p. m. — Wake Forest, on lot next to post office. Thursday, Feb. 19, 9 a. m.— Knightdale. Thursday, Feb. 19, 2 p. m. — Wendell, W. C. Campen’s stables. Friday, Feb. 20, 2 p. m.—Zebu lon, M. C. Chamblee stables. Meredith Sues O. H.

Vaden Whitley had the program. His subject was, “Would Town Management Be Preferable to Our Present Form of Town Gov ernment?” Vaden put up a good argument stating that everybody’s business was nobody’s business and that there was no one to push the collection of town taxes. The commissioners do not feel that it is their place to go out and try to collect taxes as their own per sonal business keeps them busy. The town clerk is ready to re ceive all funds but he does not have the time to go out and col lect. Vaden said that a town as large as Zebulon should have one man for this job as it w r ould keep a man busy. He called Albert Med lin, Foster Finch and Luther Massey to express their opinions. All agreed that we need one man on this job. Vaden called for a vote on this in the Rotary Club. The Rotarians voted 100 per cent for town management. Wilson Braswell was absent, but we are reasonably certain that he will make up this attend ance or he will be afraid to come back. Gale Cox of the Raleigh Rotary Club and Mr. Leimard of the Car olina Power and Light Company were welcome visitors.
