THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXVI. Number 7. "" wnncowßt -ONES v^ocTl MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS This, Thai, & ihe Other McCall’s Magazine for October has an article on “Godfrey’s Girl Friday.” Godfrey is, it seems, a big man in radio and television and the Girl Friday is Margaret Richardson, formerly of Wendell. Miss Richardson was at one time Miss North Carolina. She has worked with Godfrey sixteen years. The colored woman who came in on an errand remarked to my husband that it has been a long time since he first came to Zeb ulon. He agreed. Then she asked if I am still able to do all my work, and I replied that with the exccp- Funeral Services Held For Charlie F. Williams Funeral services for Charlie Floyd Williams, 71, were held Wednesday afternoon at the home of his son, Russell Williams, with the Rev. Kermit Combs and the Rev. Pegram officiating. Burial was in Pearce Cemetery. Mr. Williams died at the home of his son, Russell, early Tuesday morning after several months of illness.

Ordinance of Lord's Supper to Be Observed at Local Churches Sunday The ordinance of the Lord’s Sup per will be observed at the morn ing worship services at the Bap tist Church Sunday.

A joint meeting of both the Ju nior Board and the Senior Board of Deacons will be held Sunday tion of one day’s help last year, I had done it all for a good while. “My!” she exclaimed, “you sure do hold up good.” And, all at once, instead of feeling cheered. I felt much as Mrs. Methuselah might after several hundred years of keeping house. Or were there several Mrs. Methuselahs, and not just one? If so, I felt like three or four of them. Monday morning my husband called me to come out and look at the sun. First it reminded me of Whittier’s “Snowbound” sun, which on “that brief December day rose cheerless over hills of gray; and, darkly circled, gave at noon a sadder light than waning moon.” Next I thought of the old Negro spiritual in which one singer mournfully chants, “O, my Lord!” and the full chorus wails, “Judgment a-comin’.” Then I turned scientific and wondered whether the approaching eclipse of the moon could be in any way connected with the strange ap pearance of the sun. It was de cidedly a relief when an afternoon paper explained things by saying smoke from forest fires in Canada was responsible. It helps to know the why of things. It is somewhat instructive to look at clothing carried to hospitals to dress new babies for their jour neys home. First sons or daugh (Continued on Page 6) evening following evening wor ship. World Wide Communion Sun day will be observed at the Zeb ulon Methodist Church on Sunday night at 7:30 o’clock. The pastor, Rev. S. E.
