Ashe boro Courier-Tribune i
We not only have the Irvins'
room out of doors nowadays, but
we have the flower gardens in
doors The craze to grow African
violets has gotten around until
about every woman must have
extra shelves, tables, pots, and
pans all over the house. I told
Oscar King the other day that 1
have to get an order from court
to raise a window at home, and
that if it got much worse I
wouldn’t have anywhere to lay
my pants when I went to bed.

SBI AM) CREAKY SHOES
(Smoky Mount Times)
Despite charge and counter
charge that may dray on for
months. election hunting was
ideal on only one day. November
7. The usual flock of SHI s were
rushed in for the season. So tar
as we know, no one bagged even a
single.
Madison County and Swain
County, to mention two, always
report so much game that some
times we wonder, where is all
the luck'1
We admit that political game is
most unpredictable. sometimes'
even ferocious The hunter never
is sure whether it will turn on
him or. when too late to retreat,
have a friend who sits in nigh j
places to pull the house down j
about the luckless hunters ears, i
While crediting the SBI with ;
knowing its business far better
than most, under tin circum
stances some communities are be -
ginning to wonder if it would not
be just as well for them to stay
out of the picture altogether on
such politial hunts
Strictly our own opinion, and
meant as no discredit to a bu
reau which m its own field is
perhaps the most efficient orga
nization in the stati . but when it
comes to hunting election irreg
ularities. we would say that the
boys have been arming them
selves with peashooters, approach
ing game downwind and wearing
creaky shoes

COMK IN SINGING
i Mi s Theo. Davis,
Zebelon Record)
It reminded of what a colored
neighbor, Annie Belle High, said
when 1 remarked that her hus
band always was singing when he
came into the yard after dusk.
"Yes. she replied, "1 trained him
that way I told him it's always
safest to let folks know who you
are when you go to their home.
And I even told him if he stay
out late and come home in the
night, he better come singing. 1
got a shotgun and nobody’s going
to come in unless I know who it
is." It's really a pretty good idea
to come singing
sing vviui.k vm ijkivk
(Holt McPherson,
Shclb> Star)
At 45 miles pci hour, sing
"Highways arc Happy Ways"
55 miles sing. I'm but a
Stranger Here, Heaven is My
Home."
At 65 miles sing ."Nearer My
God to Thee "
At 75 miles sing. . . "When The
Jtoll Is Called Up Yonder I'll Be
There."
At K5 sing "Lord, I'm Coming
Home."
THAT WIDE
(Sandford Herald)
When we were in the Fairview )
resturant Sunday morning Gcorgt I
Fisher in remarking of the dt - j
feat of the Tai Heels by Wake
Forest asked us if we had seen
Glenn Melver. ardent supporter of |
the Baptists.
"He was in here last night,"
Mr. Fisher said, "and his grin
reached out beyond either side
of his coffee cup."
MAKES NO DIFFERENCE
(Zebulon Record)
Douglas Chamblee and a group
i l research'men from North Caro
lina State College, were being aid
ed in the counting of clovci plants
on a mountain side by a mountain
native. The sun beat down on them
as they crawled up and down the
hill, and the S«ste college teach
evs decided to lomhine work with
sun bathing.
"Will the folks that live around
here mind if we take off our shirt
and pant and work in our gym
jihorts,’’ they asked the mountain
eer.
