Small Talk
By
MRS. RENN DRUM
I must be the victim of a cele
crity complex—and 1 suspect that a
lot of other people are too—for I al
ways take an Inordinate amount of
Interest in celebrities m any line. I
guess that explains the excitement
I felt over an item I read the other
day about Mrs. W. M. Boyce of
Kings Mountain.
I don't even know Mrs. Boyce, nor
does she know me, but that didn’t
keep me from being Interested In the
fact that she’s a cousin of Stark
Young, author of "So Red the Rose,”
and that, before marriage she was
Miss Mildred Bedford of the Mis
sissippi family of Bedfords which
figured prominently in the book and
the moving picture made from it.
In this connection I also learned
last week, through a very attractive
column written by Mrs. Zoe Kincaid
Brockman in the Oastona Gazette
that Mrs. Steve Barnwell of that
place is also a member of a Missis
sippi family closely connected with
places and persons appearing In
"So Red the Rose.”
Shelby is never to be outdone, so
I shan’t be surprised if someone
here pops up with an authentic
claim to being grandchild to Huckle
berry Finn.
Octavla Jeter, who was teacher
In the Shelby high school for sev
eral years and is now teaching in
Tarboro, put the weather man in
his place last week when she filled
in the corner card of a letter writ
ten to Betty Dali with: "After 3
days return to North Pole.”
The Gastonia Gazette carries a |
column of negro news each issue and
In «ne issue last week the entire
column was a tribute to the late
Violet Thomas.
Mrs. J. T. Beason has a white
Persian cat that's in cahoots with
the weather man. He loves snow
and gets out and frolics in its like a
Governor Spotswood of Virginia
at the request of Governor Eden of
North Carolina, in 1714 issued a
proclamation ordering the arrest of
all North Carolinians entering that
province, In order to keep colonists
at home to fight the Indians.

child. When the family went to
Eastern Carolina on a visit in Jan
uary and had a little wreck on the
way everybody' got terribly upset
about it except the cat and he seem
ed to think the wreck and the snow
had all been arranged for his espec
ial benefit, to give him a chance to
get out and cut a few antics.
Maybe he has an appreciation of
jcolor schemes and knows that white
its becoming to blondes.

i Another cat in Shelby which is
| quite a personage is that big black
rascal that Elizabeth Alexander Is
so attached to. His name 1s Ad, but
they call him Rear Admiral Rlcharc
E Byrd, for short! He’s boarding
with the Postons next door while
the Alexander house is closed for
> the winter.
And no reference to pets could be
complete without paying my com
I plimenta to Fritz Edwards, of the
Henry and Jewell Edwards house
hold. He (she or it, I forgot to find
out which but I’m under the im
pression that the name is mislead
ing) looks like an Eskimo Spitz but!
acts like the head of the family.
And there’s Pearl Weathers, whose
Idea of heaven is a place where you
can love a dog without the fear that
some careless motorist will clip him
off about the time the family ac
cepts him and learns to love him
too.
Pearl has loved six dogs with all
the ardor of her pet-lcving heart,
only to have them come to some
unfortunate end about the time she
gets Mrs. Weathers—who doesn’t
love ’em so dearly—trained to ac
cept them.
Her latest love, after the demise
of the last dog, was a JTtle turtle
with the name "Pearl” painted on
his shell, brought to her from Flor
ida more than a year ago by Miss
Jo Shaw, but he’s also gone the way
of the dogs.
Her only request of her mother
and daddy when they left for a tn»
to Florida this week was that thr!
bring her a baby alligator or 1
for a new pet. 9
X love pets too, but I don't behev.
my heart's big enough to take in
alligator! n aa
George Bernard Shaw, arriving m
Miami, Florida, recently says "Th
United States has a good president
and a bad constitution."
Oh, pshaw!
One finds much to read about Ab
raham Lincoln this week and I Dar
ticularly like this expression of hu
philosophy which dignified hones
labor—I like it enough that I think
it worth repeating, in case you
haven’t read it this year:
"I hold, if the Almighty had ever
made a set of men that should do
all the eating and none of the work
He would have made them Wtl,’
mouths only, and no hands; and if
He had ever made another class
that he had intended should do all
the work and none of the eating He
would have made them without
mouths and with all hands.”
And, if I had ever heard how he
won his reputation as a rail splitter
I had forgotten it: He and a friend
claimed to have split 3,000 rails in
one day. A good story but I have
about as much faith in it as I have
in the one about George Washing
ton and the cherry tree.
The answer to that borrowed
puzzle I used last week —ergo-, is;
And dd you know, Lincoln, who Is
considered the greatest constitution
al lawyer ever to occupy the presi
dent’s chair had seven laws declar
ed unconstitutional during his ad
ministration?
The answers to that borrowed
puzzle I used last wee —ergo—, is
underground.
