7 met an old man In Shelby, old
and grayed. Said he, I married
when I was up In years. 1 had sa
ved a small fortune. I had more
than 3 could spend; in four years
time she spent it all, and sent me
adrift. Now what will I do?>
Stranger, I said, if I were you, I'd
marry again. You might hit, the
jackpot and win, but who wants
an okl man and him broke? If
he has money most any old gal
could take him for a spin. Why
then do men get in 'love? Cant
help It Why do women doll up
so? I know, just ho they can fool
the men. Why don't men doll up?
Shaw, they know they can catch
a gal any how. If you don't be
lieve what I'm preachln, stop
in at one of these Road Houses,
where they sell wine and beer af
ter dark.

Our next Sher
iff will be a
good man. I cam.
not who he may
be out of the
three. If all were
like you and I
no Sheriff would
we need. Looks
like other folks
could fly strai
ght Mke you and
1 and keep out of Jail. Very few
people want in jail after they get
In, but why do they work to get
in and then work so hard to get
out and then get tight back in?
The Garden of Eden was a jail
house to Adam and Mrs. Eve, but
they got out. They sure dbl make
a bad trade for themselves and
all fnankind. If we hadn't of been
born I'm quite sure we wouldn't
of known anything about all this
mess up. As it is 1 reckon we will
have to do as we do, but Why do
we do Mke we do do?

KINGS MOUNTAIN. N. C.
the car, people went to church I
and stayed home for rest in the 1
evening. Now very little rest do
they get. The car has about done
away with our home life. People
are going to and from all over
the earth. We travel so much we
hardly know where home is Time
changes most every thing. I
know it has changed our home
life greatly in these past 30 years.
We stay home 00 little, we don't
know who is our next door neigh
bor. Maybe he don't know it. We
act like strangers when at home
to each other. If they irtiou]d come
to see us we wouldn't be home.
The collector always finds us. If
they don't they come back and
charge us for another call.
AH the time speaking of high
priced eggs If is true the hens
that 'lay the eggs can't vote, but
their owners can. "
1 asked a small darkey boy
why a hen cackled when she lay
ed. He said Mr. It seeams to me
she's glad she got shut of the
egg. He asked me, Why don't a
roaster lay, all the time crowing
around. I said, see he's not bulli
that a way. He's all the time busy
entertaining the lady hens. He
said, I hadn't thought of dat.
That reminds me why eggs are
so high. The Government has 90
million dollars worth of dried
eggs on hand. Don't know why
they will do with all that chicken
fruit. The people overseas don't
want no more dried eggs. They
want whiskey. North tells me the
'Huns don't eat dried eggs any
more. They are getting back on
their feet. Cursing the U. S. A.
for running Hitler oft. If they
were to come over to America
and run Truman off and take
over, we'd stire care, too. We are
very peaceable so long as v?c can
dominate the world, but all the
time looking for old Joe to drop
bombs over, when Joe has no
bombs to throw. Joe, dear old Joe
never saw a bub, unless he met
him on the street. We have lots
of them on our hands to feed and
clothe, but most anyone can bum
a cigarette.
One by one the Democrats ? Re
publicans too, are coming to see
that opening diplomatic relations
with Russia by F. D. R. was e
grave mistake. Its better we have
learned by now to be on the right
side and love than to be on the
wrong side and win. We hate war
then why do we agitate war in
time of peace, and then have to
fight again?
It was the old saying about if
it rains on the fiTSt day of the
year 15 wet days are bound to
follow. Whoever invented that
old saying was a little touched
in the head. According to Radioi
Station WTJS it rained 21 days
this January and gave a total ol {
15:54 inches. This was over in
Tennessee. Since the memory of ;
man runneth not , the contrary i
and available records show no ;
contradiction, in such a deluge
in ail for Jackson, Tenn. I got
this information from one of our
Herald readers over in Tennessee,
Mt. R. F. Dover who lives in Me
*iVna, Tenn. All his cotton got
washed away. 'In 1872 the U. S.
Government set up a system of
keeping permanent' records con
cerning the weather for every
town of any size in ;he U. S. A.
These records indicate that in no
year since has as much as 15 in
ches -of rain been measured dur
ing any January. The next near- ]
est was in January 1898 ' when
11.10 inches of rain fell. Normal
average rainfall in that part of
Tennessee is in January 4.44 in
ches. Taken over a period of. 55
years, it must of been a wet spell
? it rained forty days.
There is no long-range meteor
ological indication that there will :
be any particularly Jong dry pe- 1
riods in 1950. Bu,t We rrvist re
member the unexpected always
comes, so it >'.s best to always take
your coat with you when you go
out. Like Monday morning the
sixth, it was fair not a skiff of a
cloud to be seen before 12 noon
folks were running through a
down pour of rain hunting shel
ter. The radio said no rain in
sight. What does man know a
bout .the weather any way? We
know it rained and we hope it
will again, but who can tell,

Some boys in Oklanoma City
I were showing a Texas rancher
the sights of the town.
What do you think of our stock
yards asked one. Oh, they are
all right, but We have branding
carroLs in Texas that are bigger,
he said.
That night they put some snap
ping turtles in his bed. When he
turned back the covers he asked
what they were. Oklahoma bed
bugs, they replied.
He looked, at them for a mo
ment, so they are, he agreed.
Young ones, aren't they?. We
have larger onfes in Texas, they
sting you too.
Sisters, and you brethern too.
The real <test of your religion is
what happens between Monday
a. m. and Sunday night p. m.
That's the acid test. Keeping your
religion active all through the

put it in your hand bag and find
It on Sunday when you start over
to the church. It Just won't be

findable. You got to cultivate it
else it can't grow, People are
prone to do a good part by their
religion on Sunday, but during
the busy week most of us don't
take time to cultivate it durina
the week. We Jet ger all con
taminated with worldly things
Believe it or not, sisters.
Our American freedom is
truth ? the Great Truth. Freedom
is the whole truth. When freedom
is weakened or destroyed, all
freedom Is in danger. The same
is true of your Sunday religion.
You can't fold it up and hunt it
uo on the Sabbath morning. Re
ligion is business Just like any
other profession. You got it or you
not got it. You keep it or lose it.
You can t lose it too often and be
continually seeking to find it. I
rather Jike the idea, some claim
we can't fall from grace. I know
we can't keep falling else we
might not climb back up to a
high state of sanctification. What
is that? I better change the sub
ject right now. 1 don't want to
get flabbergasted with no one
that knows about the same as I
do about these mysterious
things, ao I ring off and leave It
with the preachers, they know.
Right now things may look
rosy to the Southern Democrats,
but my dear sister, brother, you
jwho vote Just wait till Harry
starts his next campaign fighting
to land the next election by ram
ming his Civil Rights measure
down the throats of the Southern
voters, that is when the fur will
begin to fly, and fiery crosses
will start to burning. That's when
the fir* works will start in Dixie
I Land. That will be known as the
Knock Down and Drag Out"
Campaign the South ever cele
brated. Who knows but I might
be right. Then they will tell the
people, Hush my dupes, lie still
<and slumber, Holy men guard
our nation. Heavenly blessings
| will be falling on their heads
.without number. But wait until
j he starts spraying you with some
Of that colored stuff that he's got
in his saddlebags. After the sic
kle man declared he would mow
em down and give 'em hell. He
pleads for cooperation, Hlrah.
Can you b<jat that for coopera
tion?
Now Cleveland county is get
ting ready to start a campaign
lor a new Sheriff. In our county
usually the man who works the
hardest gets the most votes. All
are married men.
All will likely have the same
chance with the lady voters. They
wont be looking for a husband
among the consdtuetns. All these
men kijow the sheriff business
They grew up that way. They
were taught by their fathers the
whole-business, so we cant doubt
either one of them. So we are in
a food man. I care not which
wins the office. Now if only two
were running then it would be a
50"?? Fa9?- ?*? it is all are going
to look for a big majority ? the
the .case, you better get out and
work to see who wins and winds
up with- the shooting arms its a
f*ct, th^n too, you mosc spend if
you win.
tvW of Mrlkes that are
tying up the nation, Just look for
more and more as the days go
crowd carTles on
llfrh inc"***d taxes, how
n the heck can the people expect
to have the taxes reduced. When
d^rrf*,dent Ca,led ,or * billion j
dollars more to balance the bud
get who killed cock robin; It has'
never been proved, and you can't
?roye to me where all these tax
^8 go.
^Publican party
' but one thing a
bout the so-called negro party,
when it finally kicks th? bucket,
it will die an honest death, i.ike
the old Abe, the Republican rail
splitting President died. He died
defending the rights of trampled
down men of all colors and races.
All looked aMke to Old rail split
ting Abe when he passed over the
rtver.
, Let's conclude today's session
with facts and fun:
This U. S. A. nation would be
a better place to live it we'd Just
quit throwing bricks at other na
tions and tend to our own busi
ruvis. Oh HeH, Joe, we can't.
John L. Lewis started out this
year to coal freeze the nation, but
it back-fired on him.
The weatherman ordered
spring - like weather for the na
tion. John got a black out when
he found he couldn't rule the
nation. :
Yes, many a man has lost his
life when 7u- lofet'HTff grtp otl ttte
steering wheel.
With doubt and confusion we
have all had quite enough, but ]
we keep on hunting discord and
more confusion at home and a
broad.
Love is nothing more than ro
ses growing on the end of a gourd
vine? when we reach the end off
the vine the roses are withered
and faded.
