(T Swafford's Sayin's J I've been accused of worrying too much over things that don't happen. I know that I make mistakes, and am afraid that customers will blow their top and quit coming to see me. but I'm thankful for all who have been so considerate ? we correct a mistake and go on as usual. Many things could have hap pened ? but didn't. I stepped on a garden rake (in the dark* ? the handle didn't crack my head. My car didn't go over the bank when I put it in second gear instead of reverse. The wrong medicine taken for a headache wasn't poison. T didn't blister all over when I turned on hot water instead of cold (under shower already too hot). On and on ? things could have happened but didn't. Don't you think ? during this Thanksgiving season ? that we should be just as thank ful for the things that could have happened ? and didn't ? as for all the many good things we have enjoyed? We can never know how many times the "Invisible Hand" has kept us from harm and danger ? while we looked upon the many visible blessings. Let us be truly thankful for all ? both seen and unseen to us. PAUL SW AFFORD Bryson City road. IVi miles from city llmlta PS. I'm glad so many of you like my new store.
