H. Y. Be lk AND HIS MEWS OF NEBO VALLEY 1 met Mr. Will Allen up street. He ?always has a good morning lor those he meets. Mr. Dock Mauney and wile recent ly visited hei people in Flonda mud. No one ever gets siuck in the mud. in North Carolina. That's a thing of the past. No* a lew job hunters and pocket robbers are trying to yoke us and our children, and their children, ?nd what else, utider a two humlied minion millstone around our. necks. Well, Charles Cook came oU? to the Valley e and caught 3<J cents worth ol minnows, but don't tell Simp Bridges. H. Y. Jr, caught a fish down in York water. Me 'thing weighted three and a half pounds, not count ing the scales. One time long ago Simon Peter said We go a. fis*hing. Now folxt go a Hs'huig and tish and lish, but very few do they hook out. Fish having learned to keep out of the way since they saw Peter walk ing on the water. We see very few Peters trying to walk on the water? they ride. It takes faith for a new t*6rn baby to take its first step,' and mother, when that little wingless angel takes its first step. What a darling baby your mother says you are. Born to Mr. and Mfs. Willdam Ware a daughter, Doris Gasett, in Shelby hospital. Mother and baby doing line. Very few babies have been hat ched in the Valley and not a death since 1 came in the Valley sand ov er half year ago. We were very sorry to learn of the xleath of our long time friend, G. G, Page. 1 worked for him. He helped me along life's hard way. It's ap pointed unto man to die whether he Jails out of a chair, or dies a natural ck-a-th. The reaper finds us all. L*?ts cheer up my brother,, we are no-, ready yet to die'. So litll'e done so much to do. The other morn ing while scrolling around 1 stopped on the Western Front. The folks Were few and far between. I spied a man lean ing up against a post. He said, did you ever see the like? Two beer joints closed and not a man on the street. / Look how the grass is covering up our streets since the beer left town? 1 said, you've had your say. Let me say, it will be better to grow more hay and le.-js hell in your town.^ 1 got by and stopped in at Mr. Gault's. When 1 was bumming around in Charlotte I saw so many pretty school girls hiking around. 1 noticed skirts were down two inches. 1 won dered if cotton was cheaper now. Then 1 thought they did jvear them so short at b<5th ends that they couldn't shorten 'em any shorter. ? Sweet memories will linger. I re member when a little boy, how I struttedaround in my shirt.taii. An old woman grew a tobacco patch to use in her old clay pipe. One night while in bed, she ?at up in bed, and lit her pipe, as she did every night. That ndgh! she dropped the fire from her pipe on the straw tick. She dost control of the fire and couldn't put it out. She drug It to the yard and lost her pipe. In the morning soon she called and asked we children to help, her hunt her best smoking pipe.

Alt er Jackson's deu.n iiisoiU nejjro ser- } vani was asked if he thought the General had gone to heaven'.. I can't say lor s ure, white tolks, n? replied,' but 1 know they ain't nobody could 01 stopped the Genera, ii he wanted to go. How true is the saying of that t old siave. Man is a free moral agent. He can choose the affirmative, or the negative ? and go io heli. Right now we hear or* every street comer folks talking about the cost of hving coming down. l'he only thing 1 see coming down in -the last three or four months is the rain and the hail. Yes, and the sun is beaming ; down Very scorching. 1 love summertime when I'm free zing in the win ter time, when tne ! last bucket of Coal is gone. 1 loVej wan-ter time inos; about the 22nd of; June when I'm burning down. 1 know M>me of you are jusn like that - i Always on the wishing side. O. K. j What's a bargain counter? It you will send me $6 I'll send you the! Herald tWo years, and six months. That's not all. My pictures comes along with every copy. If you can't ! stand to look at the- reporter, you j i might shut your eyes whiie you J read- I must insist you read my lines. ? I wish they could have elections1 each week. I like the njekies and the dimes. The Lord must of iOved poor peo- j pie, like you and I. Why? He made, so many of 'em. Wnen the rich man died he went , to hell. That's what the Bi'ble says. When the poor man died he went to heaven. The rich man saw him up - there. That's what the Bible says. A man that's born o; a woman is but a few days,, rich or poor. Just a shadow in the Wind. God made the sun. moon, and the stars. That's what my Bible says, and finished it in just 6 days, ant! rested. They don't now. I liked old .Bibie Job. 1 never did like old Job's, wife. You remember when all his cattle were taken away while they piowed by thieves. That night when 'Job's boys were having a -wine party wi.h all the devilment they could do; fire rained down from Heaven and consumed the home and all She wine drinkers in rt. Job's fai th didn't fail him, even when Mr*. Job got rash and told Job, I'd curst God. and die. She no doubt wanted good old Job out of the way so she could take over.. She weren't giving brother Job any good advice. She had something up her sleeve. I nev i er liked her after thai. One man asked me what I meant by Communism. I told him u was a montertf. A system by which one small group seeks to rule the whole world by force. Then he asked how do they try to get control of the U. |S. A. Legally? No illegally. What | would we do if they were to take ! over. They would move our capital j to Mosow, and take u? too, and | niake u* grind o?:r lives away. They i would shoot old men, like you and I. I don't see any harm in that. We j could of died young too. Late now. The man who smokes while he handles gas will soon his troubles end. They tried so hard to teach me ?in school that the world was round. A fool no bigger than me should know its as flat as a flitter. "Vou know, I know. Other folks do too, that >if it was round as an apple we'd all slide off, and then what and where? So many folks have so little reasoning, don't try to understand when they see the world is fiat. The U. S. A. and all the rest of the world , is suffering from about all the ills that have been recorded in the Little Red "Book. And they all the time try to find a remedy. We should qwit belly aching and let Congress tell Harry The Great, that we need that something he can't give all of us. A Job, Jobs are getting more and more like chicken teeth. Truman could pua the folks on the WPA if he had the tools. I take him to be a wonder ful man on 90 small a Job as he fi-oe', wfch so little pay. J wish -ome smart scientist could find a way to store some of this June heat away 'til a blizzard hits 'down next winter from the North I Pole. Looks like we could can up a lot of this stray hea-t Just like can , ning string beans. We haven't learn ed nothing yet. Look what an old man did. Caught lighning and cork tied it up in bottle. Looks Jike it ij would of broke the bottle. [,j Well, 1 giiMs *his is news. One ; family moved out of this Valley, two moved in. The loss of one was the jpain of two. You ask me who they ;he. Its none of my business who they be so long as they keep quite j and don't interfere with the mayor** business. I'll help them to help their selves. They haven't tried <o bor row anything y?. Look what ihf Brutish did for the United Stale. *? 1S12, burned our cap hol. Now aduys thfy are still burn ing our capitol uj the tune of S3,- 1 750,000,000 in a big hurry. Oh, it is just a loan we should be proud of. It keeps us out of war t i Li they use It up and want more. If we can't sup ply them with the long green thty may burn the Capitol. What you do once, Us easy 'to do again, so we should give and give. That's the. Way to have friends at home and a-( broad. Let the hand that gives, give and give. 1 love to think they love us. Love is the fulfilling of the Law. A pretty girl oncc said, if you don't love rne you gef no more of my sugar. In closing today s weekly session, may I say, Ego Amo. You never thought I'd be a poet and write you this ode: BLESSED REST Four courses we have. To our beds, ? Four angels guard us, O'er. our heads; Matthew, Mark, Luke and John; Bless the bed. That we lay on. God is good. And God is great, And we thank him. For this bessed rest, For the body and the sou]. ? ? For Best Results .

C. ft tve got plenty of money, but / want *200, 000,000 more Isn't it silly to borrow money when there's already plenty of money on hand? North Carolina has in sight from normal revenue sources in the next four years $291,580,000.00 for road construction and improve ment. This is more than half the total amount spent for this purpose in the past 17 years. , .. A lump sum $200,000,000.00 loan will not build roads foster. Such a sum could not be spent quickly and at the same time efficient ly and wisely. A $200,000,005.00 rood debt would hang on our necks like a millstone-pulling us down, d^wn, down. It would mean millions and millions of dollars going for interest chorges alone - dollars that will never build roods. It would mean taxes, taxes for generations to come."
