THE ZEBULON RECORD Volume XXVIII. Number 69. J9P9EB :f ■ ft | 1 K ■■■*mL Jhl of MBfc 'Mr. Republican Moans Over Two Sour Trades Mr. Arthur Ferrell, the noted Republican of Little River Town ship, made a swap in November l of 1952 which he has since come to regret he traded a Democrat ic president for a Republican pres- j ident. Mr. Arthur held his peace for over a year, but recently has felt that he would have to speak and speak he did, laying into the Eisen hower administration far worse than ever he attacked the Truman ites. “Stuck” Again More recently Mr. Arthur made another trade which he regretted soon after. He bought a cow from Philip Olive on an “as is, where is” basis, and the cow soon got sick. She got well, but the Republican was still dissatisfied with his bar gain, and asked Philip to take the cow back. Philip said he would, provided she was bred beforehand, j Thereafter Mr. Arthur got a lit tle black bull, which apparently did not realize it was no longer a calf. In any event, Mr. Ferrell caught the bull nursing the cow, Gospel Sing to Be Tomorrow Night Another big All Night Gospel 1 Singing will be staged in the Wakelon auditorium on Saturday evening, June 5, beginning at 8 o’clock.

V and that was that, except for the long trip back to the station with the bull. Mr. Herbert Winstead declares that the rueful Republican tried to get a boy to lead the bull back ! for a Coca-Cola, but was unwilling to go higher; hence he appears in the picture above, completing a re-swap. He cannot, of course, swap back presidents quite so eas ily. (Note: Henry Hoyle has re quested that we identify for our readers both the bull and the Re publican; the bull is in the mid dle, and Mr. Arthur is on the right.)
