Howbrite, his wife, 'etti, oeth
er with Sister Mays -nd Pastor
Stormer and Chadburn were on their
way home after services. Brother
Stormer had consented to "o home
with the Howbrites at Nettie's insis
tence, she fearing that the Devil would
get a "frash holt" on Son before the
next service of he didn't go. Then,
too, only three more services of th
"awful meetin' " remained to be held,
and the members were making a spe
cial effort in Son's behalf. They had
reached Sister Mays gate and
she was about to turn in when
srtmeone suggested that they
might have one more prayer for
Son . ; and the penitent readily
consented, as he "felt, like the Devil
wuz sorter gitten aiter him aig-in."
Well, Sister Mays praye l and Net
tie, Son's wife, both in concert while
Bro. Stormer scotched along v.ith an
occasional loud "Amen!" The climax
came when Nettie threw her arms
around Son's neck and shouted
"Git away from him, Satan you
know he's all I've got . . you kaint
have 'im!" Just then Bro. Stormer
shoilted,, Look utf, Brother How

looked up toward Long mountain just
as a bright moon appeared over the
tree tops. The physical affiorded a
sudden climax to the emotional
strain perhaps anyway it was
enough
"Oh, I see my Jesus hit's my
Jesus!" shouted Son, jumping up.
"Git behind me, Satan!" as he ran
around and around in sort of a circle.
Well, they had a glorious time; and
when Son reached home he took an
other spell at shouting, going in at
one door and out at the other. The
noise roused Son's neighbor, Jake
Jackson, living a quarter of a mile
distant. Wondering if the house was
on fire, Jake jumped out of bed and
into his bieches and ran over step
of the way just in his "ever-dav sock
feet" to see what all the noise was
about
"What the Devil's the matter
here?" he asked running in.
"Oh, nothin's the matter," said
Nettie; "my ol' man's just got re
ligion an' he's happy. He thought
he saw his Jesus back over yander
. . but it wuz railly jist the moon
comin' up."
"Well, if you wuz to ax me," re
plide Jake, "thar's plenty the matter
with the man." And with that he
turned from the house and went back
home.

hear the sound of Stornier's voice
after he "got good warmed up." It
was toward the close of this service
that Son desided he would put on a
rehearsal for the benefit of the whole
congregation, that is when the shout
had gotten well underway. He had
just come oil of his logging job and

This was also the service at which
Oscar Sides got warmed up. Oscar
was a tall, gangling, timid man, and
was not one of their forward members
by any means. But, seeing that all
the "brethren and sisters" seemed to
be called upon to make some mani
festation of the faith that was within
them, he decided that he wouldn't he

his old soft felt hat toward the cell

Editor The Mountaineer:
Permit nle to "pat you on the back"
for the splendid publicity you are
giving the work of the Future Farm
ers of America and the 4-11 club. To
my mind, they are the best things
now being done in Haywood County.
These are doing more good than any
other measures now being put into
effect.
If and when (as the saying goes)
1 can find time, 1 am going to write
a "piece" for The Mountaineer on
this subject. In the meantime, keep
up your tine publicity. We all in
Haywood County should be and I
certainly am, proud of the splendid
work of these fine young people.
Glad to note an article in The Moun
taineer that the sidewalks on Main
Street have been repaired.

What mutter where your feet stand,

Eating should be an exciting ad
venture, not a tedious chore, asserts
William Allen White, distinguished
editor of the Emporia (Kan.) Ga
zette and author of A Puritan in Bab
ylon, in the current Kotarian Mag
azine. Despite a career chockfull of
journalism and political activities, ho
has noted the gastronomic interests
of his contemporaries, even serving as
the chairman of the menu committee
of the Rotary club in Emporia, Kans.
"The average man off the street
sits down before his food and eats
it like a dog, generally not knowing
what he is eating, which is my idea
of a culinary mistake. For food al
ways should be an adventure, and a
wide dietary range is a sign of wide
culture," declares American's Num
ber 1 country editor. Any man who
eats luncheons ranging from rice and
curi-y to rare beefsteak and fresh
mushroom, he believes, will be just a
little more civilized for having va
ried his diet.
Yet the average American business
or professional man kicks like a bay
steer the minute he is exposed to new
food even before he tastes it, la
ments the sage of Emporia. "This
comes, of course, from fool women
trying to doll up food like land
scaping! I mean the kind of women
who put pantry ruffles on mutton
chops and lay silly red strips of pi
mento across salad and make their ice
cream match their napery. Really
good food doesn't need beauty-parlor
treatment."
"I never knew a woman-chasmg
man whoso wife was a gootl and ad
venturous cook," says White, remark
ing that there is something in the
proverb that savs that the way to a
man's heart is through his stomach.

pigs' leet, anil a fat frnnkl inter gar
nished with boiled turnips, polaroes,
carrots, and onions.
Commenting on his duties as a
menu committee chairman in his own
service club, White concludes, "It's a
great life if. you don't weak m, nd I
have not weakened so .far. I'm grad
ually edging up to onion oup for
