The Only Newspaper in the World That Gives a Whoop About Onslow County VOL. VII NO. 53 JACKSONVILLE. N. C.. T( LSDAY. I W \ISY U>, 1 PRICE S2.00 PER YEAR DOWN EAST WITH BILLY ARTHUR 0 Luther Eubank of New Eorn, who hails from the White Oak river section, once gave me two essays, which I'm passing on. They are on "Man" and go like this: Man is what women marry. Th-sy have two feet, two hands, and some times two wives: but never more than one collar or one idea at a time. Like Turkish cigarettes, men are all the same material, the only difference is that some are better disguised than others. Generally speaking they may be divided into three classes: Husbands, bachelors and widowers. An eligible bachelor is a mass of obstinacy entirely sur rounded by .suspicion. Husbands are of three varieties: Prizes, surprises and consolation prizes. Making a husband of a man is one of the highest, plastic arts known to civilization: It requires sculpture, common sense, faith and charity—mostly charity. It is a physiological marvel that a soft, fluffy, tender, violet-scented thing like a woman should enjoy kissing a big awkward and stubby chinned, tobacco smelling and bay rum scented thing like a man. If you flatter a man. it frightens him to death: if you don't, you bore him to death. If you permit him to make love to you. he tires of you in the end. and if you don't, you soon cease to interest him. and if you argue with him in everything, you scon cease to charm him. If you believe all he tells you. he thinks you are a fool and if you don't, he thinks you are cynic. If you wear gay colors, rouge and startling hats, he hestitates to take you out. If you wear a little brown toque and a tailor made, he takes you out and stares all evening at a woman in gay colors and startling hat and rouge. It you join him in his gayeties, and approve of his smoking, he swears you were driv ing him to the devil, and if you don't approve of his smoking and urge him to give up his gayeties, he vows you are driving him to the devil. If you are the clinging vine type, he doubts if you have any brains, if you are a modern, broad, advanced, and independent type, he doubts if. you have a heart. If you are silly, he longs for a bright mate, and if you are brilliant, he longs for a playmate. If you are popular with other men. he is jealous; if you are not. he hestitates to marry a wall flower. Most men are like worms in the grass; they wriggle around awhile —some chicken grabs them. # Continuing the disseration. the chief aim of man is— At four—to wear pants. At eight—to miss Sundav School. At twelve—to be president. At fourteen—to wear long pants. (Trousers, my dear.) At eighteen—to have monogram med cigarettes. 'Tis a sweet sort of man! At twenty—to take a show girl out to supper. At twenty-five—to have the price of supper. At thirty-five—to eat supper. At forty-five—to digest supper. §A man dashed into the police station at 2:30 o'clock in the morn ing and looked as if he had been having a nightmare. "My wife!" he gasped, "i want you to find my wife! Been missing since this eve ning! Oh, find her for me!" "What's her description?" asked a sergeant. "Height?" "I--I don't know!" 'Weight?" The husband shook his head vaguely. "Color of eyes?" "Er-average, I expect." 'Do you know how she was dressed?" "I expect she wore her coat and hat. She took the dog with her." "What kind of a dog?" "Brindle bull-terrier, weight 14JA pounds, four dark blotches on hk< body, shading from gray into while Round, blackish spot over the lef! eye, white stub of a tail, three white legs, and right front leg brindled all but the toes. A small nick in hi) left ear, a silver link collar with—' "That'll do!" gasped the sergeant "We'll find the dog!"
