H. Y. Belk n /? 1 ntir HIS NEWS OF NEBO VALLEY Mr.a Horace Hord won a year's1 subscription <o the Herald up at 1 the Lions club, so I didn't get that j $2 they were saving lor me. I'm glad when our readers wtin. Yes they are going to vote for the right man. I mean Horace and wife. This is a lovely spring day. 1 get some happine*** from the change and face and the beauty of these spring days. Lets not be in such a big hurry, not so tense and hectic, lhat we can't see the beauty of these golden spring days. This great old World is go- i ing to roll on by just t,l. i same, and much in the same way. We are not the only stars that glit ter on this great old planet ? just a speck or a bubble on the great sea of life. Then dreaming, lov-! ing, dying, so. what more could we ask ? The folks who prayed so hard fast ahd load for rain in April are praying for a hot dry spell. We can't handle the weather' Can't handle ourselves. I've got just . this to say about Father Truman, if he wants to try out his Bold New Deal Plan, he'd better try it out ' here at home where there are mil lions unemploy ed, Reforms as well as charity should begin at home and quit trying to look aft ?r the man in the moon. If we'd mind our own business we'd al ways have work to do. Yea sir, since I come to think about it we need to keep a man on the Sheriff's Job the size of Logan. He's not too small, not too large He 's just the right calibre and I would have you know he's got the ability and understand ing to be an honor to this our, beloved county, the greatest in all the 99 counties. Since we are justly proud of our Piedmont county we must strive to keep a sheriff like Logan, it we would be progressive and hold high honors with ninety and nine of our Sister counties in our great State, North Carolina, the home of the truly great and brave. I called to see John Pish el" down at his Grill on highway 29 just below G rover City. I picked John for all I could get. My busi ness was to meet a big bunch of Kings Mountain men so I could talk Logan and other good m^i that's running for office like a house <Jn fire. Well, this is what John out and said: "I have been bawled out, bawled up, held up, held down, hung up, bulldozed, black-jacked, walked on, cheated, squeezed and mocked: stuck for war taj?, excise profits tax, State dog tax and surtax, Liberty tax, bonds and bonds of matrimony, Red Cross, Green Cross, and dou ble cross. Asked to help the So ciety of John the Baptist, G. A. R., Woir.ana Relief, Men's Relief, and Stomach Relief. I have worked like hell and Texas, and have been worked Idke hell.

Lied to and lied about, held up, hung up, robbed aftid damned near ruined, and the on ly reason I am sticking around now to to see what in hell is next." . Very well John, I've been cal hauled and Devil drugged 'tlil I can't say which side of the fence I'm standing on. Yes, I hope to keep the ball rolling up to the 27th evening in May. That's when Logan goes in to stay. You know we can't fail to keep Logan in. Solomon said there was noth ing new under the sun. 1 tell you something new down, at the tor a Miii. Just looks like everybody and hi^ broUiu? i.s spiiig to vote the Lagan way. Y?.u remember when Glee Bridges was running for the House, what he promised to do for those who voted for him? I'll paint the back fence, fix the screen on your door, clean out the hen house, change the diapers on all your babies. He didn't say a word about washing the diapers, and I think he did go around and take in washing. Well you got to tell a whole lot more than you can do. You boys, j if you won must be on hand and tell us lots of things you can't do. But always be on hand and tell us you'd try. Lots of good .. men running for the spring show. If you fail don't blame me because I told you so. I want all worthy men to win. Just because I've got | Logan's name on the winning I road, don't stop, fret and fume. A faint heart is said never to have won a fair lady. Truman won over Dewey. Never was a man so shocked as was Truman, and the nation too. Truman's been fish ing ali this time. Now, boys and gals, we voted Logan in one time. Let's do it a gain. Then we may say time a bout is fair and vote another in. Mr. Logan has done so well, why swap a good man off. I can't see no reason in the world to take chances with another, as well as this man is Mked by all. Wells too. He'll help us' with our schools. I know the Wells family for years. No' better people oould we find, progressive too. Its a fact os you will find ? the only thing on the farm that has an easy time is the dog. Blessed are those who have nothing to say, and can't be per suaded ta say it. A caller with great Interest stood watching the little son of his host driving nails into a baby grand piano, turning to the father inquired, ""Mr., isn't that quite an expensive pastime for your little boy?" "Oh," replied the father, it is not so bad. See I bought the ? nails wholesale and the piano Is not paid for." The fool and the dead never change their views. Nothing sure but death and taxes. Yes, we can move across the line, then I'd like to see 'am collect taxes. I was asked the other day by a man I thought should not have l '>een so great a fool. Said he, Belk do you believe its right for wo men to vote? I asked, why in the hell ndt? He said, well, back in Bible times woman didn't fool in men's business. I said, yes I know, but now women have bus iness of their own. I left that fool. I hope I meet no more like he. Yes, I'm a Democrat, but not dyed in 4he wool. Good men 4n all parties. I will not vote for XYZ. You see this is the day when the cry should be ? God give us men, not rubber stamps. I wonder what they done with Hen Wallace, He's as mum as a mullet, old pig killer, Its aston ishing. When God sends a man to the Lions den He (Toes there to protect him. Look old Darnel in there' I with all those lions. Oh, Boy. We &?e men a bottle of whis i key and then turn around and iput the poor devil in jail, while his wife and children do without bread and beans, without cloihes. Is that fair? And t her preach prohibition. What is that, who started such a thing, Noah. Blessed is the man who is too .busy to worry in the day time and is loo tired to lie awake at night, for that's when most devilment is done. Now, Understand me, the man that gets voted in for our Shor iff must be a might-y good man ' No better could we find. A I thr^o .can't win, so lei'? put Logan back In ? he's good enough for me. i Now the one that w ins rrru^t step heavy on the gas. It's a bi? contest. Work like the devil, .Thi* is May. Not many more days to g?. i f remember when back-slapping was an ancient method of patting friends on the back. These days backslapping has gained a now roll. They don't h'at*slap? They just talk about so-and-so. | Now this, is what one can hoar from the men who are running I for Sheriff, win lo?e or draw, I'm J going to keep on fight until I Just can't struggle any more, Sure I must fight. If I should win. Increase my faith In my fellow man. Alter the 27th we'll all be. As happy as a May-bird, Pardon me ? not all. WAS I AT THE WRONG DOOR? John H .West said he went to the wrong door; to get a bottle' Jno. made a mistake (*he went to the wrong door.) I Jno. said he thought! Old Geo. got mad at him too: in as much! Old George made remark that: ('John had better be careful,) that he aimed to inform the Vet erans bureau about the way John was doing, probably John has about as good a reputation, as Old George. ? West said, that if the Veto tans Bureau wanted .to know anything about the way he Ls. doing, he would welcome ihair invostiga tion at any time. <* to my opin ion,! Otd Geo. better let VVvxt alone.

This time we'd like to tell you about something that you eannot see in this picture ? something, in fact, you cannot know about from looking at someone else in a passing Buick ? or from viewing a Buick on our showroom floor. It's the feel you get from a Buick in motion. You are going to find out that it is some thing like traveling on your own private, jet-propelled cloud ? only firmer M ay be you know a stretch of washboard road, where you have to slow down, or bounce and jitter. T ry that in a Buick and see how you keep a level, comfortable boulevard smoothness. Maybe you're always on edge to dodge dips anJ chuckholes. Those also lose most of their jolt when you're at the wheel of a Buick? or in the rear scat. BUICK dm*lmr /or a dtmmmtttmtlmm ? Bight In a few simple words ? the ride of any Buick? Special, Super or Roadmaster ? is out of this world. We could give you a lot of reasons. Soft coil springs on all four wheels, for example ?the firm linkage of the torque-tube drive? the distribution of weight? big soft tires on wide rims ? the way Buick engines are mounted. Even Dynaflow Drive*? always silk smooth and free of geared drive harshness ?plays its part in the marvelous Buick ride. But why simply listen to reasons? Experi ence is still the best teacher. Come see for yourself why the Buick ride is callcd "matchless"? and how little it costs to replace a jitterbuggy with one of these level-striding honeys. oa WO ADM ASTER, optional at txtra cot# (M SUPER and SPEC! 41. modth.
