REASON TO BE GLAD
tv,o Vio rnHs of the county Are
improving was proved conclusively to
the satisfaction oi tne mercnunw w
Hertford on Saturday, when once
again the crowd of shoppers from
practically all over the county came
to town.
For many weeks now the weather
conditions have been so disagreeaDie
and many of the roads have been
Tirnrticallv imiiassable. There are
still some roads in the county which
are in a pretty awful condition, it
will take manv more days of sun
shine to dry out the mud on a great
many of the unpaved roads, oui
enough of them will work the trick
and before long, if the weather con
tinues good, there will be no difficulty
In the farmers from everywhere in
the county coining to Hertford.
And that is one more result oi the
good weather that the Hertford folks
have cause to be glad of.
IS IT MARBLE TIMET
It is springtime in Perquimans,
Or so it seems. The long cold winter
seems to have passed, and while no
body doubts but that we shall have
cold snaps and maybe some wintry
days to come, many feel that the
backbone of the winter is really
broken.
Warm, bright sunshine has suc
ceeded the cold, gloomy weather of
a short time back, and farmers are
beginning to get things into shape
for planting the crops.
The hardier flowers are blooming.
Daffodils and dandelions have put in
their appearance, and gardens are
being planned and prepared here and
there.
But one sign of spring is lacking.
Nowhere has it been seen. And
while this one sign fails to appear
there are those who doubt that the
winter is gone. This sign has long
been considered the one infallible in
dication ' of spring. No matter how
cold the east winds may blow, or
how damp the ground may be in
spots, even if there is no other sign
to prove the 'winter is over, that first
time that one turns a corner on an
unpaved sidewalk and stumbles
across two or three small boys
shooting marbles, it is spring.
Not a marble has been seen, ex
cept perhaps in store windows.
I HIT OR MISS l
"MEN"
Once upon a time I though I un
derstood men and could marry one
of them with my eyes shut but
alas !
I've discovered that if you flatter
a man it frightens him to death.
If you permit him to make love to
you he gets tired in the end.
And if you don't, he getstireTS
the beginning.
If you don't believe all he tells you
he thinks you are a fool, and if you
don't, he thinks you are a cynic.
If you argue with him in every
thing you soon cease ta charm him.
If you wear gay colors, rouge and
startling hats he hesitates to take
you out;
And if you wear a little brown
toque and plain tailor mades, he
takes you out and gazes at some
other woman in gay color, rouge 'and
stunning Jiats. ' V ,
-:',. ' ...
If you are jealous of him, he can
not endute ydu, and if you are not
he cannot understand you.
If you join in his gaities and ap
prove of his smoking he vows yau
are leading him to the devil;
If you disapprove and urge him to
give them up he vows you are driv
tog- him to the devil.
.: V.
If you are affectionate he soon
Wearies of your kisses, and if you are
cold he soon seeks consolation in
Some other woman's kisses.
:".'.:,. ,
r If you'' are a sweet old-fashioned
clinging tine, he doubts that you
have a brain;
If you are modern, advanced and
Independent, he doubts that you have
a heart or scruples.
kaC lor a mental mate and if you
are brilliant .and Intelligent, he longs
far nelpmate.
" And all the time, though he is
falling in love with you for just what
you are, he is spending the days try
ing to make you over what you are
not, never were, never can be, but
"A man's a man for all' of that."
N. C. State Agricuturist
I .really didn't intend mentioning
the matter. I naturally dislike to
tell a joke on myself. But since so
many folks saw the affair, or half
of it, I might as well let you in on
the laugh.
It happened the morning after that
last big snow. I was on my way to
my office, stepping somewhat ginger
ly over the slippery -places on the
sidewalk, just before reaching Mark
Gregory's store, when, like a bolt
out of the blue, biff! I was struck on
the head by a snowball.
It could hardly be said to have
been a snow ball, but a great big
mass of soft snow.
I really was indignant that any
one would dare throw a snowball at
me. It had been years since any one
had dared aim a snowball at me.
I turned to see who had thrown
that snowball and you could have
knocked me over with a feather. It
was the Mayor himself!
I just couldn't believe my own
eyes, that H. G. Winslow, with all
his dignity, would do a thing like
that. But there it was. Nobody
else was in sight. He smiled and
said "It did get you, didnt it?"
Yes it did, but 1 wasn't going to
let 1dm get away with it. I reached
up And located a big handfull of that
snow on my hat and I let him have it
right on his bare neck.
Only then did I realize my error.
The iexjnession on "Hick's" face was
far J&axe expressive than words.
With a .sinking sensation I realized
I bad made a mistake. "You threw
it, didn't you, 'Hick'?" I asked, all
the lime "knowing he didnt. "No,"
he said, "it iell from that ledge up
tbene."
You can "believe I felt apologetic as
I got busy sand wiped the snow off
the Mayor's neck with my handker
ckiet Well, Mr. Winslow, fortunately for
me, has a sense of humor, and was
nice about it. Later that morning,
I happened to see some girls throw-1
ing snowballs from the window
above that ledge and only then
did it seep into my consciousness
that both of us had been in error,
the Mayor and myself, and that snow
hadn't fallen from the ledge in the
first place.
The Mayor, it might be said, was
the innocent bystander. I dont ex
actly know what my own part was.
But the young folks had their fun.
Something new in millinery! But
not for ladies. The Carolina Hard
ware Company is advertising "Mule
Millinery" this week. Can you beat
that? '
Mark Gregosy says he is the hap
piest man in the county. He got his
arm out of splints on Wednesday.
Hes been carrying that arm around
in a sling for five weeks and it was
probably a little irksomr.
Announces Recreation
Bulletin For Leaders
Play more and live more, says L
R. Harrill, 4-H club leader at State
College.
Providing entertainment to make
home life richer and fuller is an im
portant part of the live-at-home
programs, he points out.
Recreation has probably been neg
lected more than any other phase of
rural life, he says. Properly conduct
ed, it helps build cooperation in the
community, it brings rural people to
gether. To help make farm life more at
tractive to young people, he has
written a bulletin, "Programs and
Materials for Leaders in Home, Com
munity, and Clufc Recreation."
The bulletin is available free to
recreation leaders of club organiza
tions who apply to the agricultural
editor at State College.
