Trial
& Error
Are you one of the lucky one who
has not been hit by flu? I hope you
are. Duplin County has had much
sicknes, so I hear. The children are
having measles, chicken pox, virus
and flu and other older folks are
havinr flu. They talk as if it is not
much fun. The cafe has almost
looked deserted, lately, so many
people have been out of work due
to sickness. And everyone is wait
ing for Rcscoe Jones to get well and
get back on the iob so we can have
some more of his delicious home
made pies. He is a genius at pie
making.
We had a visitor in the office this
mornina. He was Kerm't Williams,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Williams
of Sarecta. Kermil was having his
Duplin Times Subscription changed
from Texas to Duplin County. Ker
mit said that be and his wife are
coming home to Duplin to live and
they are really looking forward to
it. He has been living in Texas for
the past six years working with a
large oil concern. He liked Texas
but said that living expenses were
tetiffic. It was most interesting to
hear him telling about Texas. It
makes all of us happy when our
young people return Jo Duplin to
make their home.
Was talking to Betty Slooum in
her office one day this week and
she read to me this interesting lit
tle observation front The Country
Pulpit in the Carolina Coeperator.
"The typical skeptic put, a dying
man on the scales, watched <-him
dig. And the scales didn't vary an
ouase. He then rushed to the papers
to proclaim, "Man hat no soul . . .
I proved it." The trouble is that he
should have placed himself on the
scales, expressed his opinion, and
found that opinion carried no wei
ght."

county in the state to have a 50 mil
lion dollar farm income, but that
this group was here because they
are not satisfied with past laurels.
