This, That & 'l The Other By Mrs. Thco. B. Davis i S /• Although not a user of tobacco in any form, I have always been slow to criticize those who do use it, realizing that no moral issue involved. But I do have a distinct feeling of disappointment occasi onally when coming near some woman whom I might expect to possess a fragrant daintiness and am instead half-stifled by an odor reminding me strongly of my grandfather's oldest pipe—the one Grandma used sometimes to have me put on the little corner porch to air out duripg the day, when Grandpa was away from the house, y Mazene Chambiee, now Mrs. Guy Lee, of Smithfield, wrote me last week, enclosing a program of a piano recital given at Wakelon Scnool April 25, 1917—28 years ago. And recitals were functions in those days, commecnement at Wakelon being THE event of the year,, and presentation of piano pupils one of its most pleasing features. The program Mazelle sent me lists a quartette by Lois Pierce, Katie Bet White, Maudie Brantl ey, Virginia Jeffreys; a duet by Mary Pippin and Annie Rue Gup ton; another quartette by Laura Doub. Annie Rue Gupton, Willa Wiggs and Raymond Horton. (I can’t exactly place Raymond.; Mazelle Chambiee and Foye Whitley were soloists on the pro gram, as were Mary Bunn, Kath leen Pippin, Bessie Joyner, Helen Horton, Mary Pippin, Cliffie Marshburn, Jennie Lou Griffin, Florence Finch, Gladys Stell, Myrtle Jones, Emma Roberson, Thelma Smith, Bertha Moser Maudie Brantley. Daphne Cham biee and Lena Bunn had a duer as did Annie Privette and Bea die Baker. “In the Arena” was » quartette by Lois Pierce, Maudie Brantley, Gladys Stell, Bertha Moser. I’ll wager they fought those pianos to a triumphant fin ish. Foye Whitley, Myrtle Jones, Helen Horton and Bertha Clark had a quartette and the final number was the Wedding March from Mendelssohn played by Cliffie Marshburn, Eunice Lamb. Emma Roberson, and Mary Scar boro. What a pity there was no bridal couple for such a pro—or reces sional! Marshals that night were Alon ious Hinton, chief, Irene Petty, Annie Godwin, Lunice Horton, Exum Pippin, Roderic Harris. It’s odd how different persons dread different diseases. My hus band’s greatest fear is pneumonia. He feels positive that if he ever has it, he will surely die. Which may be the' result of having heard the family physician make some such remark when Theo was a small boy. It has stayed firmly in his mind and all the sulfa drugs on the market may not be enough to drive it out. My own pet horror is cancer. Dread of it is one reason why I pray to drop dead instead of hav ing a long illness; and why I shall count it a personal privilege to donate something to the col lection of funds being made for cancer control. Special Program At Corinth-Holder A special program honoring those in service will be presented at Corinth Baptist Church Sunday, April 15, at 12 Noon. Pastor C. W. Teague will be in charge and spe cial committees are making ade quate preparations. Seats will be reserved for all in uniform and flowers will be presented to near relatives of those in service.

It seems that the unusually long dry spell for this season has hardened the land so that plowing cannot be done. Even tractors pulling a disc harrow can’t accomplish much.

They have the hungriest world to feed ever known in his tory, and they will not fail if old Beck and hard work will turn the trick. refreshments were served.
