VII, NO. 77 JACKSONVILLE, N. C., II I.SDAY, APRIL 10, 1915 *",s PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR 'down east WITH | BILLY ARTHUR 0 Someone inquired the other day what one usually finds when he enters homes of local residents, as many of us did in the past two weeks. Well, actually visiting a number of homes a night meant a galaxy of occurrences, the variety and en joyment of which depending upon the conditions of the home when it was entered, whether occupants were friends. And it might have meant one headache per home, all rolled into one big one. A lot de pends on when the visiting was done, because there are some in opportune times that may cause some embarrassment. 0 Visiting people and discovering how they really live make realities of disconcertions. I've heard a bridge game speak: "Oh, Jioney, was that your ace I trumped? I'm sorry." "That's all right. We all make mistakes." Then in the automobile going home: "You're the biggest fool I ever saw. I led an ace. And you trumped. You blind truck horse." "Don't talk to me. You brute. I'm going right home to mother." But it all works out that mother has brought her belongings over to spend just a few days and hasn't gone home in two years. 01 think the only trouble with mothers-in-law is some of the sons and daughters they raise—or fail to raise properly. It is estimated that the average family is composed of five mem bers. The parents are well-known. Of moderate means they live in an appropriate residential section in a house which dad gave for a wedding present and furnished by the two love birds. The house is in a beautiful setting, is surround ed by trees. Soft lights glow through the windows. Shortly after supper before the family gets settled down and ar ranged to receive visitors, you walk up to the door noticing the comfortable, welcome and happy appearance of the home, ring the bell and get no answer. You stick your head inside the door to hol ler; and there's the average family of five, including three unruly children who won't study their les sons while mother and father in •the kitchen arc loving with sharp words, a rolling pin, and a butcher knife. 0 Visiting other homes, you will find that the baby has been put to bed. and you can't talk above whisper; brother has just come ^ 'rom Virginia and brought three f s of tax-paid, and everybody dribbling, a bridge game is in progress, and you are asked to prepare the refreshments; and only the wife home, and she and yours go in another room and talk for two hours leaving you with three fashion magazines, two dress patterns, and some embroidery. It is estimated that if you vis it and spend 15 minutes with 50 sucli families, you will wake up some morning headed for Dix Hill. % After having read Maximum Price Regulation No. 580 which was explained to merchants 1st week, permit me to state that the News and Views has an adequ ate supply and is ready to sell all the materials necessary in com puting the ceiling prices and fill ing out the forms; namely, pen cils. work sheets, erasers, head scratchers and toilet paper. 0Jaek Peck thought surely some one had stolen his car from behind the cafe Saturday night, but Clay ton Petteway had driven it home by mistake. In the dark of the al ley, Clayton climbed aboard what he thought was his own car, put the switch key in, started the mo tor and drove on home. A coinci dence, yes, but we later discovered that even the key tg the boot of Jim McCulloch's car also fits Peck's ignition switch. % The Wall Street Journal says: If they lived today Nero would learn the cornet in stead of the fiddle. And he'd have his own orchestra. Billy the Kid would join the Coast Guard. Horatius would become a traffic cop and hold up traffic on a bridge with a red light instead of a sword and shield. . John Hancock would be a foun tain pen salesman. Ceasar would be writing his commentaries for the newspapers. Diogenes would be a flashlight manufacturer. Damon and Pythias would be doing their act every night on the radio. Portia would be taking cases in volving racketeers. Cleopatra would be a Night Club Queen. Henry Clay wouldn't rather be right than President. He'd rather be President and then appoint a commission to find out whether he was or not. T5 William C.
