SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT, AT THAT
Having noticed here of late that E. W. McDaniel has
been feeling rather low, we appointed ourself a committee of
one to call upon him and ascertain, if possible, just what he
is worried about. —. _ •
No sooner had we 1 appointed ourself than we tore out
down to his store and began to ask questions with the fol
lowing results:
————— xl
Mr. McDaniel is worried because:
1. He is not married.
2. He can't get anyone to have him.
3. He is afraid he is going to be and old bachelor.
s 4. He realizes the truth in the following quotation
from Artemus Ward: "The happy married man dies in good
style at home surrounded by his weeping wife and children.
The old bachelor doesn't die at all—he sort of rots away like
a pollywog's tail."
Delving into the matter c
conclusion that if Mr. McDan:
rounded by a weeping wife and"
children, he would be happy, and
that he most decidedly does not
want to rot away like a polly
wog's tail.
What have you got to worry
about?
VINEGAR GOES UP
If in case you've noticed a sour
look on the usually serene coun
tenance of William V. Holcomb,
take note of the fact that it was
caused by a disposition soured by
five gallons of vinegar.

It was last Thursday that some
women entered his store and ask
ed if they might have a drink of
water. "Sure," said Mr. Holcomb
as he mentally figured up the ad
ditional charge on his water bill,
"go right back there to the spig
ot."
For the benefit of anyone who
doesn't know, Mr. Holcomb keeps
a 60-gallon barrel of vinegar
right next to the water spigot,
and perhaps it was but a natural
error that the women instead of

turning on the water, pulled, the
wooden spigot from the bunghole
of the barrel . . . anyway, a few
minutes later Mr. Holcomb hap
pened to glance to the rear of his
store to see the women in question
daintily wading thither and yon

Yessir, the price of vinegar has
taken a rise—due to an acute
shortage.
THIS AND THAT
Just by way of warning we fig
ured we- ought to tell you that we
are working on a program to be
staged at the Lyric theater the
23rd of this month for the bene
fit of the Presbyterian church
here.
This program will NOT be an
amateur show, and it will not last
over 45 minutes or an hour at
most, and will feature an amaz
ing array of talent. Fact is. the
more we think about it, the more
amazed we get.
Among those who have so kind
ly consented to take part are By
ron Bryan, who will take care of
the comedy and is the only per
son we know of who can extract
music from a wash tub; Miss Jer
ry Weaver, of Brook's Cross Roads
who sings and sings well; Misses
Ruth Beulln and Edna Billings,
who can harmonize on most any
time; Charles Pardue and his
band; Leon Martin, whose lyric
tenor was the subject of much
favorable comment on the part of
officials of the Greensboro radio
station when we were there last
fall; and Hal Dobbins, a young
man very few of you have ever
heard sing but whom we expect
to make a decided hit.
Miss Dorothy Colhard has very
kindly consented to accompany,
at the piano and be a great help
in other ways, and we, who here
tofore have confined ourself to.
doing all the worrying, have de
cided to kick over the traces and
amaze and thrill the audience, if
any, with a French horn solo.
Although we haven't fully decid
ed, we are thinking of playing
Schubert's Serenade, and that
ought to be something.
We're telling you all this so if
you haven't planned to be out of
town that night you can get busy
now and buy a ticket to Asia or
somewhere.

Funny, isn't it? Once upon a
time you had to walk a mile for
a Camel. Now they give you a lift.
That's service, if you ask us.
Thanks, Claude.
