THE ONSLOW COUNTY News and Vi The News and Views Leads fa Paid Circulation Local Advertising National Advertising *?/7 . Classified Advertising Onslow County News The Only Newspaper in the World That Gives a Whoop About Onslow County VOL. VII. NO. 90 JACKSONVILLE, N. C., FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1915 PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR I DOWN EAST , WITH BILLY ARTHUR 0 Wo were waiting around ;he Courthouse lawn waiting for the Tuesday session of Recorder's Court, and wondered as the hour of 10 a.m. approached whether Judge Harvey Boney would make it on time. Meri Ferguson suggested that he'd come running in a hurry in a few minutes, all diked out in a vest, coat and overcoat. Presently, the tell on the court house tolled. We knew court was ready to begin, because that wa.s the second bell. The sheriff already had rung the first bell—to wake up Judge Boney. 0 Never was I so confused as on Tuesday morning when Jack Peck and Steve Stefanou were arguing over some coffee, and I was listen ing in. Confused. I said. I find it quite difficult trying to understand a Greek accent one second and a Jewish accent the other. 0Nat Dixon, the Seashore Trans portation company dispatcher, took up oil painting about six months ago. but that's not all the story. The real story is that that hon orable and industrious Society of Sidewalk Superintendents has at last made its appearance here. One would have thought some one was excavating for a 60-storv building or putting up one. the way the folks gathered around Nat Monday afternoon. He had set up his easel across from the bus sta tion to paint a picture of St. Anne's Episcopal church. Culture got the best of bus drivers, carpenters, children, taxi drivers and printers. They went right to work offering suggestions as to color gradations, the structure of the building and other enlight ening and important things. 0 Somehow or other we got around to talking about school days and whippings and such while awaiting for Sunday school to be gin. And Clayton Pettewav. Hedrick Aman, Ed Provost find Frank Pierce reminisced about the times when A. W. Cooper and Miss Etta Freeman taught some of the boys around town. It was agreed that a ruler or switch in the palm of the hand probably had more effect than any other method of correction, save one. I recalled how Old Lady ,Mc Rae—that's what we used to call her wiien I was in the fifth grade, but I wouldn't now dare do so with the same attitude we kids had then—used to bend back the fin gers of my hand, exposing the lalm and let me have it with a limsy ruler. It stung. I'm telling you. Rut. as said before, there were one method of corection that was better than that, according to Clay ton. He recalled how Miss Etta Free man used to punish them by a few licks and a prayer. "I used to tell her." Clayton said, "to go on and whip me. but please don't pray for me. That prayer hurt more than anything else." 0 One way a newspaper has it over a radio: You don't have to listen to "One Meat Ball." Ninety-Three Enrolled In Daily Vacation Bible School Here 0 N'inety-three children are en rolled in the Daily Vacation Bible School which is now underway at First Baptist church, and the high est number attended yesterday— eighty-one.

And even if tired, they can't let down. "At the present rate of attrition, the Japs have material enough for many years of war. They stand ready to sacrifice 10 millions of men and fight for 50 years to hold on to their ill-gotten gains. "It's a long way from Germany to Tokyo. 14 thousand miles, and we must bridge that huge gap. That's going to take hard work, money, sacrifice. The 130 millions of Americans will need to buckle down to the serious business of recognizing the Japanese as an enemy that is just as determined as we are to win this conflict. "Winning a war against the world's second largest empire, with 400,000.000 conquered slaves to do its bidding, is another story en tirely from capturing, or recaptur ing island outposts. We have just begun to contact the main army of the Japanese. And to go all-out against them, we will need to be prepared. "Our job on tne Home front is to be prepared to back up our boys. The Mighty Seventh War Loan af fords the opportunity. Bigger and more War Bonds in the hands of the public will give support to the i'll-out war effort against Japan in the months to come.
