naaoaaa ■ liUUKlII ?F' EQjCQtTi 33 E F.'r>TVSME'2'3 DAY BY DAY — By Knight \ u TAKE HOPE: remember the worm is about the only living creature that can’t stumble or fall down! * * * AND REMEMBER—the hard er you push a fellow down, the higher he will bounce on the come-back’. * * * POETIC ARSENIC:—'Though Spring is all but to give way to Summer, that seasonal mal ady, of poetic siege, lingers on I’ve been threatened to be shot for less than this, but I’ll take another chance and clear the poetic organs with the following verse, recently sent me by one of the six readers of this Column (Yep, there are six members of “my public” now), so here goes: REQUIEM Here lies the body of Susan Jones, Resting beneath these polished stones; Her name was Brown, instead of Jones, But Brown won’t rhyme with polished stones, And she won’t know if it’s Brown or Jones. * * * MICKEY (OR MINNIE), my nightly comrade and pal is do ing nicely, thank you; it was tickled pink over the "news it-am” I ran about it last week, but the publicity made the ras cal a bit “high hat.” And, by the way, Mickey (or Minnie), as the gender may be, brings to mind fond memories of another pal of by-gone days—one Archibald, the smartest cat that ever licked a chop after dining on mice. Ar chie, as he was affectionately known, was no sluggard at his duties and was always on the up ’n’ go. But misfortune grin ned upon him, and one day he lost the lower part of his right front foot, in a battle royal with j a rat that all but proved Archie’s “Waterloo.’’ He recovered from an emergency operation with an amputated paw, but with an ar tificial limb and a wooden club foot. But even that did not thwart Archie in his prowess in capturing his best liked dish. Archie was somewhat of a vil lage shiek, the veritable Romeo of all Catdom. Neither was he a piker, but would shower favors upon his many and various "flames'* of the tribe. Archie worked with Horatio, his broth er; he wasn't much at speed, but he packed amica.i wallop with that club-pa v. A:1 1 and Horation had system in their work; Horatio would go beneath ! the fit or and scare up the rat': Archibald would sit by the hole and knock ’em in the head when they emerged. He killed ’em by : the score and for a time he fur-! nished every y-ung flapper cat. i and a lotta the old- v.'..-low cats; in the neighborhood with their | daily rations! * * * THE POOH RICH:—There’s a j Biblical assertion that says some-1 thing about. it being easier for! a camel to go through the nee-' die’s eye than for a rich man to ; enter the Kingdom of the Bless-' ed. It also says “Blessed are the j poor . . . At a pleasant ses-j sion of conversation with Frank ; Longest the other day, these I texts were discussed, pro and | con, but it seems that Frank has i the rich man matter all straight- j ened out. He says that after spending all his youthful days in the belief that if one amassed a lotta riches in this world ne would be denied that hand-shake with St. Peter, he has discovered that the “needle” reference could i have applied to a certain dis-j covered street pass in some Egyptian city that’s named “The i Needle.” Of Course, Frank wants j , to get rich, and he also wants y his Eternal Reward. I hope he ] gets both, but, at foat, why bring that up, about the^iifW^gftng to ^-leaven! I being what I am, a follower of Printer’s Ink, get sol ace outta that Biblical passage, "Blessed are The Poor.” By that token, most members of the Journalistic fraternity should have passes for reserved seats in the arena of the Blessed. ♦ * * A BIG TERRITORY:—“From the Dominion of Canada to the Gulf of Mexico” is the answer 1 got when I asked Frank Long est where he marketed his lum ber products. The Longest Lum ber Company is one of Duplin’s and this section’s largest enter ■ prises; one of the largest of its [ kind in the South, and is Wal • lace’s largest enterprise in mat ter of employment of men, pay roll and scope of operations. Frank Longest is a go-getter. i The community rightfully has a i pride in this enterprise as a home industry. Mr. Longest has but one major problem yet to solve, and he's solving that by having more keys made, that there will be no more “sit-down” (on the door-step) strikes by his able and affable bookkeeper, on account of locked doors! * * * A GENIAL HOSTESS, and just about the best “reception com mittee” of one, that I’ve been privileged to meet during all these years’ of globe-trotting, is Mrs. Henderson Cole, whose commercial throne is a big easy chair located at the office en trance of the new and beauti fully modern home of the Wil mington Furniture Company. This institution, well and popu larly known throughout all this Coastal section as “The Old Re liable,” is a veritable monument to her late husband, who found ed the business more than three decades ago. To judge by the warm and friendly reception ac corded everyone who visits this store, be they customers, mere curious "display room shop pers,” or salesmen, the visitor will feel as if be or she is in the own domestic domicile of this venerable lady and her daughter, Mrs. Jones, another “keynoter'’ in the upbuilding and present commendable status of this organization. Enriched with a keen sense of humor and| j with a philosophy all her own, | j and imbued with that gold j en quality of human kindness, j Mrs. Cole is the kind of hostess ! that makes one hate to leave, and | yearn for the time to return. I ; Commercially, her stock in trade ‘is furniture and home furnish lings; but personally and human I ly, her chief assets and inven j tory consist of an abundance of i optimism, which she preaches ^ and practices, and a goodly stock of good cheer and sunshine that wii! dispel the darkest clouds of despair and pessimism, and will make one say “Indeed, it is good to have been in her presence.” Yes. she's most charitably in clined, too. . . . even a news paper man can bide a while in her commercial domain, and a cio>e scrutiny of the historical an-b. vts of this store does not reveal that a single such guy has ever a .-hot, hurt or maimed r y ..•-.-.-■•aught of her v.rath. Yes. indeed, a most won derful ar.d charitable personage, and one who, with tae able co operation of her business asso ciates. is doing a mighty good j job of maintaining, and daily! inc reasing, the [ ■ -estige and good will of this "Old Reliable” Furn-! iture Institution. * * * Tilt:RE ARE ONLY 173 more Shopping Days Until Christmas, CbNSTIPATEbT" ’ Thousands have obtained quick, 1 pleasant relief with Duffy’s Anti- i Bilious Pills, a prescription pro ! pared by Dr. Charles Duffy of j the British navy over 128 years ) I ago.

C. but just a few more hours before the opening of Wallace’s Big 1937 Festival. The last drop o’ sweat has been sweated, the last cuss word has been cussed, the linotype machines are on a day’s rest spell, the last revolution of the press nas been made, and here’s your 1937 Feature Straw berry and Festival Edition. We ain’t a-bragging a’tall, but we are kinda proud o’ it, ourselves, and our hearts are a-bubbling over with gratitude and appre ciation of the cooperation of our Advertisers and others who, af ter all, made such a journalistic venture possible, and made for it whatever measure of success it is. This comes from the bot tom of an Advertising man’s Advertising, but sincere, heart. I cannot go farther in the prof fer of gratitude; my eyes are dimmed with tears of joy; words of gratitude are choking my vo cal organs, and my heart is rendered with a deep and gnaw ing feeling of thanks. All the rest will have to be left, dear reader, for you to figger out for yourself. To all whose support and cooperation had a part in the making of this Edition, I can but briefly say, “Much ob lige.” Honestly, I hope you, everyone, will like this week’s “big sheet.” . . .
