Dunn Dispatch
Once upon u time in a uwn rot fin !
j from Dunn there resided a bevy 01
members of the ancient and h>'iu>i - s1
able order of th? I 'mted .Suns ..f Rest. s
j They had for their meeting | :u'v the "
j board seat:; provided by the village
i merchant who was averse to labor as '
! they; This meeting l place was dubbeu
,C>y the hard-worked wives of the rest
ei's "the buzzards' roost," and it ro-
scmbled nothing so mucl. as that, l-'oi '*
yeari the good brothers gathered
there. They whittled di wn two te\e
[ phone posts, cut ui> t a. o sets of up- x
rights used to supi-oil the wooden
[ awning and compelled tlie town coun
| cil to abandon the street lamp at thai ®
| point after they had whittled down
ne si\ih lamp post.
The resters lived happily. The\ 1
worked so hard at resting that some '
I found it necessary to have daughter
1 bring dinner on her way to her work
| a ttne store where she was turning
money t> pay household expenses
One day, however, one of the good
hliiiws 101 lby the wayside. Haiti
re..ting resulted in a st roke of paral
| yds. He had to give up his positioi
I at the buzzard roost and was movec _
t home where he lay all the time unahk
to move.
One 41ay tlie cood wife of the par- j,
a lytic re.ter deviled that she wouL
make him useful for tin- first time ir
hi siife. Out in the poultry yard thi
hens had been doing tliel* duty as laii. ,
down by Mr. Roosevelt. Eggs there j
were in plenty. Mrs. Hester gather
e! an even hundred of the nicest egg.
carried them, to the bedroom and pad
al them securely under and aroune j
Reginald it. Hester, "the paralytic. At
'the expiration of the period of iniu j
! hation, Reginald found himself tin
i mother of itU biddies. And he was ai.
! excellent mate rafter he learned t, *
cluck.
As soon as the local newspaper pub
| lished the fact of Reginald's mater- _
I nfty. his fellow testers began to re
sign their jobs on buzzard roost. Fi- (
I nally every riri efound a job and when-
| ever one ..showed signs of weakness
ever one showed signs of weakening
and a yearning for the good old days,
his. wife, mother or sifter had only to
threaten to "set" him.——r r
This story was suggested to the l)i h

tor of the First Baptist ClYurch, who n
intends to start a .campaign against si
some of Dunn's renters, if his effort, u
prov eof no avail,\h« will advise the h

We submit statistics Covering the

1921." We have closed a most satis
factory year and feel justified in the
statement'that wo have proven to thO
state that with fProper financial back
ing this society is able to offer the
proper solution of the homeless chili
problem.
When you consider the saving o
211 homeless children in 12 -month
you must admit that we are a .
in this branch of work. We lo
forward to 1922 with a determinatio
to do even mow than we have ■i
in 1921. ,
v The Superintendent desires to e.\
press to every member of the Hoan
of Directors his most grateful thanl.
for the loyal support Riven thPougl
out the year. Without this able aiu
continuous assistance, tho results ob
tained would not have been possible.
I wish for all a Happy and pros

tinuance of past generous atid eon
structive cooperation.
