A moment lost js never recovered, so be sure to employ every moment of your time,' which means your life. I knew a country boy out in the turpentihe woods who could spell every word in Webster’s Spelling Book. There is much else in that book. “Cider is made of apples.” “Botany is 4he science of plants.” “Riding on horseback is good exercise”—these are lines I remember. Once there came a deep snow and rain followed, which froze over and the people went out with their dogs and came near Southern Marble Works Lumberton, N. C. Get our prices before buy ing your monument. killing out the deer. The deer broke through the ice, and the dogs did not. The folks just sav ed and dried those vehsion hams, and the rest went to waste. ‘The farmer who makes two bales of cotton to the acre this year will be ahead of that fellow who made two blades of grass grow. The people of this section in general are remarkable for their orderliness which is only a de served compliment. But nobody can do better than behave. John Reynolds who lived on the Moore County side of Drown ing Creek, had a black and tan hound dog, which treed 39 coons and about that number of vossums one winter. Their skins sold for something like a dollar each. I used to sit at a window in the courthouse in Carthage and look at the rain falling from a heavy thunder cipud ten miles away. Carthage is on a very high hill, and the view is beautiful. I for one hope World War III will never materialize. But the Russians lare developing war equipment, and that may bring fa-.,.--. them satisfaction. Insects ctm he”destroyed. There were numerous black ants over aroimd the court house, but they are almost extinct now. Hot water did it. I think the reason we do not have heavy electrical storms like we used to is because these guy wires are gradually carrying the electricity into the ground. I was sitting on a pine log.,in the shade of a tree, eating my lunch, one day, and dropped^ a crumb of bread. An ant about the eighth of an inch long tried to carry it away, but it was too much for him. That ant turned around and went away and about a yard from that crumb he met another ant just like himself, and they had their heads together for a short time, then both went side by side back to the crumb and laid hold and carried it away. It wps said a moccasin snake could not’ bite under water, but one bit Tweet Hunter under five feet of water and came near kill ing him up in Drowning Creek. When the weather it real hot you fully believe it is the hot test weather you have ever seen, but it so happens every summer. The Intermediate ^ass of Par ker’s Methodist Church had a swimming' party' at Aberdeen Pond last ^Saturday afternoon. They enjoyed t^ water, but most of all .the picnic supper that fol lowed. Others beside members of the class were, Betty Jo Lovette. Mollie Scull, and O. H. Scull. • Mrs. George McKinnon of Dur ham arrived last Sunday to spend the week , with her sister, Mrs. J. A.

I ¥ The only way to know thing.?— facts—is to remember them. The only whipping I got in school was for tearing “sunset” out of mj- book. My aunt Sallie Ray was my teacher and in reciting my lesson I stalled on “sunset”. I folded the leaf in my book and dampened that word with my tongue and pinched it out. There was quite a good deal of game in the Sandhills until the turpentine workers ran the deer and turkeys ouf of the coun try. They are coming back. I believe I can truthfully say the best and the worst chewing tobacco I have ever used was homemade, different lots. I quit it all 23 year&-ago. Old folks used to say “A dry June for a good crop year”, and usually it prqved to be good guessing, for it gave folks time to work crops when needed. Wayside News By Mrs. Ralph Plummer D. B.
