Fear is our constant companion all through life. With some, it is the fear of los ing a Job. With others, it is the fear of illness or losing a loved one. What is your pet bugaboo? Your mirror tells you that you are growing old. Old age is the thing you fear above all else. You have always dreaded the last years or iue, ana you nate the telltale gray that is coming into your hair. Gray hair is something that has always looked mighty lovely (but on some one else). More important what abo your dreams that have still to come true? You need time. You cant afford to crow old. But what if you are fifty or if your next - Dlruiday brings vou close to sixty?

Both of them was the slow soakin kind the kind that is some good. That stuff was so pretty i falli'i there on Thursday 'til I told Fannie I was a good mind to jest git out there in it. She 'lowed it'd look When they were in the evening of life. Look at Eleanor Roosevelt. Any other great grandma would be sitting with her knitting and wait ing for Father Time to arrive with his scythe. What keeps people young? What can we do to keep young? It's important for you to take care of your body, but old age be gins in the mind. Stop looking into the mirror and counting the wrinkles. Instead, change your thinking and you can recreate your self. No one is ever too old to work. Get you something to do. No mat ter how old you are a vital interest will give you 'a second lease on living. Then, next time your birth day rolls around to frighten you, you'll be so busy being young that you 11 forget how old you are. Perhaps poverty is the thing you fear above everything and your pocket book tells you that you are poor. Well, taKe courage. Did you know that Rockfeller's salary was once only six dollars a week? D'.d you know that the Warner Brothers had between them only forty six cents when they decided to storm the citadel of Hollywood? Maria Dressier was broke and forgotten when 6he borrowed the money to rent a house, hire a butler, and throw a party that so dazzled the movie moguls into signing her to a big contract. No matter how poor you are, you can give of your self and your time. Riches don't make happiness. CgDcDDjulDOD WAREHOUSES WHITEVILLE For The Sale Of Leaf Tobacco Dial Grey and Jack Heal Geo. Myers And H. V. Jones Jimmy Parhei per year In Dnplln and adjoining area In N. ss.ue oaiaioe n. mighty foolish for a old feller like me to git out and get wet on a pur pose. I tell you though I was so glad to see it fall 'til 1 wanted to git every benefit I could from it. We was settin there on the iporchjvhen it commenced and when the wind started blowln it in on us Fannie moved over to the other side of the porch but I set. right there where I was and let it blow in on me. Lord knows I was glad to see it. We Just in a manner ain't got no garden this time. We had real good prospects for awhile but the dry weather and all pretty well took care of it. I went out to it Sunday morning to git a few tomatoes and I come back to the house wUh two. I put out 3 dozen plants and fin gered big on raisin enough to can some, but if we can any tomatoes at our house this year, they'll be to buy. About the same thing holds true on our other stuff. I quit dustin and paying any 'tention to our beans about three weeks ago, 'cause they was done too far gone for rain to do them any good. For awhile, we was glttin right much okra but who wants that stuff 'less you got some other kind of fresn vegetables to go along with it. I rode to town last Monday to git some chicken feed and when I wtnt by Ned Barnes' farm I saw him out there a irrigatin his pasture. I reckon he figgered if he didn't do somethin, his pasture was gonna Jest dry up. That's the second one of them irrigatin outfits I'd seen and, be lieve, me, they're real tricks. I didn't stop but I could see a ridin by that that thing was really spray in the water. He's got a big pond down on the lower side of his pas ture and he was gittin his water nut of it. Ned's pasture oughta be pretty well fixed now accountin the water he put on it and that what Old Mother Nature saw fit to leave. ' 3I Ffl 1W JUWL AND r, Auctioner Whiteville's Newest and Most Modern Warehouse Plenty of Floor Space Available i llo Booking Necessary PRICE TEN CENTS Speakin of Ned, he come over to the house the other day at was tellin me about him gittin hold of some more beef cattle. I believe he said he bought 10 more head so he's got about 42 head over there now. He's a real farmer, that Ned is, and he's got a gooi farm too. I reckon he's about the biggest and best farmer we've got In this section and he's thought about as much as anybody else around here. Ned's one of those fellers wh started from scratch on a, little old piece of land that wouldn't hardly grow blackgums. Nobody thought he'd make it when lie first moved over there but he pit ched in and got that place cleared up ana lie am t hardly let up since men. tie s Deen a livin there now 22 years, I reckon, but they's a lot happeud around there durin that time. He's got the 24 acres he started out with, and about 20O more adjoining acres which he's bought as he saw his way clear. Ned works. He's not one of the.se fellers who sets under a shade tree and tells somebody else what hp wants done. He gits out there In his overalls( and works just like his next meal depended on it. I bet if the truth was knowed, he's got enough right now to where hi.T and his wife could live good the rest of their life without strlkim another lick of work. He's, just not that kind of feller though. I asked him the other day why he Kepi on worKin so hard. I said, 'You've got a good farm and a nice home and you're not gittin any younger so why don't you take it easy like me.' He said, 'You know, my wife's been after me to do the same thing, but I just can't make myself do it. I get too much, satisfaction out of tending to my livestock and watching my crops grow to give it up now. I've work ed hard getting my place fixed up like I want it and I have it equip ped to where I can do twice as much work as I use to be able to do in almost half the amount of time.' I guess Ned's got somethin there. Why should he slave all his life, gittin his farm in good shape and then turn it over to somebody else. It just goes to show that when far min gits in a man's bones. u 1 LOIrLEA r;
