Leona Diickett, Manager INK XT TO WESTERN UNION 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 brite!" Chadburn said that he reckon Howbrite misunderstood the preacher er sump'm" . . any "vay, he 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. k:.v:f ' i 1 V r s 7 - Jy KDlTOli'S SOTE Letttrs to the editor, if fivf o( personal abuse, are always vt'lcimej.

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 had on the same heavy boots..

KOTAltfANS AND LIONS TO HOLD JOINT MEET1N(J 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 out-done. So, all at once Oscar threw his old soft felt hat toward the cell ing, jumpt out in the aisle and shout ed "Hot dawg!" (To bo concluded next week) t'XKI.E AI!H. THE ENTIRE COST OF THE CC.C.

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.

What mutter where your feet stand, til- wherewith your hands are busy, 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. Menboth as husbands and luncheon-club members will eat--and liKe beef stew in brown gravy with o'uons, green poppers, and carrots in it. They will learn to ciuov a .New ring land dinner with corned beef, tongue, 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 some cold winter day!" so that it is the. spot whciv God has put you, iiiitl -the work which He has given you to do? Georg Eho. What Beer contributes to the re-building of America would fill a great volume distribution of their mild and wholesome beverage through retail outlets whose char acter will be a credit to the community. Obviously, the brewers can enforce no laws. But they can and will cooperate with the local law-enforcement authorities. They will cooperate with every group friend or critic to the end that retail beer outlets give no offense to anyone. . . , . . . . ...j..- 91 Fn.i Wth Street, Sen York, N.Y. .jVV united urevcm industrial ruuw"""t rA (CM J Over 400 million dollars in taxes every year.
