GOAT GETTERS. i The othe rday, I decided to ta k to a (rw ol my intimate friends and find out from what was the sad dest thing that ever "came across their path," and 1 am taking the liberty of recording some of these horrible events for your kind con sideration. Uncle Joe said "Well lenime see I believe the worst thing that ever come my vvav since I first seen tiie light of day w as - once I was a fishing on Big Dam creek, and I ketched a trout that weighed 14 pounds and 3 ounces, and Jest as I was about to pull him into the ba teau, he flipped a flap, and flopped back into the water 1 made a dive ! for him. but he got away, that ai-! most killed me. I never got over it tor might nigh a year." Aunt Minervy said "Oh. 1 have had heaps and heaps of trouble ince I got. married, but when I losii. back over the past. I must sav j that the time T busted my set ol I false teeth at a little dinner the La dies Aid gave el, Mrs. Brown's home. I 1 ain't so sure that anything else worse than that ever overtook me I tried to bite a piece of candy, and them teeth flew out of my mouth like an arrow from a bow I was never so hacked in all my life 1 never did find my 2 front ones." Flapper Ixm averred. "Believe me kiddo. or squint and hush! The most terrible calamity that ever be fell a human being, befell me once at a dance. Me and Jimmie Brown were about the only couple on the floor, and the orchestra was pour ing fourth the "Memphis Blues," and me and Jimmie were both do ing the shimmy and the black-bot tom and the hootchy-kootchv all at the same time, and before I real ized what had happened, my under wear had slipped down to my ank les and had me hog-tide Gosh, I almost died I've got over all my troubles but that, and I ain't, seen Jimmie since—but I don t depend on buttons no more Gimme strings every time " Cake Eater Jones. being duly sworn, said: "I have never had many bad breaks, but my narrowest escape from utter disgrace and death and sorrow was the time me and my girl was strutting up and down the "‘bored walk" at White Springs, and some little squirt that had more gall than sensr bellowed at me: ‘Hey, there. Cholly; your flag of truce is hanging too low on your left and why surrender? She ain't quite got you, is she?'

Somebody said it was raining In Texas this morning, and July broke 25 points, then somebody else said that it was a mistake—It was only rloud.v tn Alabama, but October swooped down to 18 67 Curtailment and boll weevil infection had a weakening effect on bed spreads, yet the shorts seemed long ifaced' near the close The farm relief board has decided not to charge the fanners and the speculators the same discount rate on advances, so walk up and take your choice The communist agita tors still think the capitalists ought to give them the mills, r.nd then pay them double wages to run same, therefore, we advise selling. We be lieve in shorter teddies and longer wheel-bases—through the summer months. The talkies cost more and are worth less. The good old funny pic tures and interesting escapades and real worthwhile acting have been relegated to the junk-heap, and a few screaming-squalling men find women with voices that sound like a cross between a fife and a saxa phone are on the stage singing some kind of something that nobody car ps to hear And furthermore, they sting you to the tune of about W) cents for a 10-cent "talkie." and everybody knows that, an old time read-ie" is better and lots more entertaining And "deef" folks have to stay at home besfue Tf any of you happen to be won dering why n great many business men are hauling their goods on trucks, Just ship something via rail road a distance of about 100 miles, and you'll get the answer to your wondering* Railroads don't like to make short 'hauls." we understand, but judging from their local height rates, ‘ long hauls" are' made on short-distance pulls PERU} PS YOU HAVE NOTICED. I am just like Hoover in many respects. I can’t slpep late in tne morning and I enjoy fishing a great deal I believe in enforcing tnp laws of the land, and also like waffles We differ a little in the matter of income.

Mr, Hoover ought to ap preciate the actual relativity tfi'at apparently exists between us.

Wants Three County Offices Abolished Says Taxpayers Don't Want Farm Agent, Home Agent And Wel fare Offices. To Editor of The Star: This scribe wants to say amen to W. A. Crowder's article in last week's Star. I have heard numbers of voters express themselves on the county agent question and not bne is in favor of it. And I feel sure tha* if our honorable county commis sioners leave the place blank they will hurt nobody's feelings except the gents who want the office. So there. And while our honorable com missioners are deliberating on this office business. I would like to men tion one more at least that ought to be cut off so clean lhat it would never be heard of more. If anybody can tell us poor tax ridden mortals what the county welfare brother does to earn his keep, pray come out. Now understand this writer likes the man holding down the jc* at the present time, in fact we lo\* him, but we love lots of other good folks too, who are straining their running gears to the breaking point trying to pay the heavy taxes to support so many useless office*. In the business world if an em ploye does not make his keep and • little more he soon disappears from the scene. The same thing ought to apply in governmental affairs. As a general rule the people just stand around and cuss and growl and then cuss and growl some more, but if the burden gets too heavy something might happen. So I would like to intimate to ouf good county commissioners that It they would like to add another pretty w-hite plume to their caps, just leave the county agent off. Then take a good sharp pair ©t shears and clip out by the rootg good and deep the welfare office and that presided over by Mrs. Wallace. J. L. HAWKINS. 118 Grover St., Shelby, N. C. J !
