Junior Jones, HI, is owned By Will Jones, III. Junior, who was acquired on Easter Monday from a store* which handled ducklings Airing the Easter season, is much at home when in the backyard. When the children are playing in the back, 'ducky is per* fectly happy and chats in low tones, says Mrs. Jones, ^f they go around to the front or the duck gets out in to the allpy, it quacks loudly. Quite tame, Junior allows his own er to pick him up and rub him. Meal times are 9, 12 and .6 o'clock. If lit tle Will is not on time with the crack ed corn arid biddy mash* the duck goes to his feed and water cans and bows its head up and down. The owner of the menagerie, as his mother calls his pet collection, or the largest number of animals, is Andy Martin, Jr. There are two dogs, a goat, monkey, a gold fish, bantam biddies, duck and turtles. The turtles numbered three until Sunday, when one of them crawled away and hasn’t been seen since. Of all the animals, the monkey probably attracts the most atten tion. .It was a gift to Andy from his aunt; Mrs. S. H. Ragland of Kin ston, who purchased him in Golusboro from a filling station operator. Many of its actions and fears, such as be ing afraid when a storm is brewing, are characteristically human. Uncook ed fruit, vegetables and eggs com pose its diet. Jo Jo manages to peel fruit before eating it and husks pea nuts by rubbing them together. Many of the eggs laid by the Martin hens are stolen by Jo Jo, who jumps over the,fence to the chicken house roof, as soon as it hears a hen cackling. He punches a hole in the eggs and sucks them. • The goat was brought from a Kin ston service station operator and is a favorite with the neighborhood when he pulls the cart for the children to ride in. The monkey rides the goat’s back while it is hitched to the cart and picks fleas off it. Louis Williams owns a brown ham ster, an animal that is used for ex perimental purposes in laboratories. Its most unusual characteristic is storing food in pouches on either side of its face, transferring it to the box which is its home and later eating it rVegetables and meats, either cooked or raw, compose its diet. When be ing fed, it stands on the hind legs. The paws have four fingers shaped NOTICE OF SALE STATE OP NORTH CAROLINA COUNTY OP P{TT IN THE SUPERIOR COURT County of Pitt, Plaintiff "VS. J. H.
