H. Y. Belk -AND HIS NEWS OF NEBO VALLEY .".Draw your chess close up to lire, I've- got something to tell you about that weather lasrt week sure did excite me, it beat the Jews. It reminded me of a freak spell we had back in 81 it snowed for 6 weeks every night our well froze over solid. Paw took a 4 inch .drill and drilled through that ice three feet put a dynamite in the hole with a fuze on the end. Well when Pa struck the match to the fuse it done the work, it blowed the curbing off 90 feet deep, that's how deep the well was, 90 feet through blue plate rock. From then on as long as the snow stayed on the ground Pa melted srfow by the big log fire in the old long kitchen in a big iron kettle and I'm not froze yet. ?? So today I was Just rumi nating about that trip we took and landed \ on top of Mt. Mitchel. S u p 13& P?se? w'* "e we I |? were eating din ner the weather j man had of dropped the veather flag dowi\ tQ 2 degrees below. How would we have got ten home. See I didn't have my long handles on, but we were mighty close to Heaven. You know it dropped to 2 degrees be low the 26 of Nov. Now let me say to you if you take a wise j notion to climb to the top of Mt. ! Mitchell be sure you have two j suits of longhand les on.,. Last summer when clouds of I potato bugs appeared in Kast ' Germany, the communists charg ed they had been dropped from American airplanes. Our Government issued the in dignant denial. If we had of ;been dropping any for free it would have been pot ti toes, not potato bugs. Any bugs we had were needed at home. The draft board in Texas de ferred one youngster who was found to be 9 years old. The board deferred him until the fourth world war. Gosh, do they expect Truman to stay in power that long. Harry you can t do It. ' The Communists Party will' feel much more certain of victory .if they are assured the same gang is to continue to run the show as up to date, we have no [fine patriotism any more, when we were a nation of only five million and so our leader trusted in God for guidance far from it today, money is our God and guide. Old freak nature couldn't mold we children perfect, sahere she did the next best thing, she made us blind to our faults. Big I and little you, I can't see what you or I have got to be big about, your alusing beauty is only skirt deep, my dear madam. I can remember back ".vhen we thought the Chinese were a peaceful bunch of dirty rat-eat ing blue skins. That was before we even knew what a Korean looked like,. It may be a good idea to learn more about these good people. With all their stock piles of atom bombs on hand and the hydrogen bomb Just in the making. It would seem to be a fool like you and me that the human race is: nOw nearing the home stretch. Oh Hell, what a bout the Russian outfit they are hell on wheels madam. Too bad, dad, the poor scientists can't find some form of sulfa or pen icillin, so we could send Joe Sta lin a 8-gallon jug for Christmas. He has a great need for it, they say he is losing weight. Perhaps might be better to race him over a few bottles of Hadicol. Just any thing that would stop his heart. My Uncle Jim use to say when he went to the laundry to get his shirt hnd the Chinese lauri dryman talked back to him it j sounded just like pouring cider ! from a three-gallon jug. Oh j what rats worse than monkeys j and the worst part two hundred | millions of these rice rat eating j skunks are down 8 thousand j miles under us they can't ever i reach dry land at the rate they are digging. Mrs. Jones' husband is a Cap tain in the Army stationed at Ft. Bragg. The other evening he wir ed her to meet him in Charlotte. She caught the first bus for Char lotte having a small baby and a; little girl 6 years old and a suit ! ease. I asked her to let me help ! her with her luggage,, she very kindly consented. When we got | off at the bus station the little [ girl ^aid "Mother, which one is daddy." That's all yf that story. A Berlin court convicted Erick I Roq, 41 on a moral charge and! gave the Nazi salute and shouted ! sentence. When the Judge told him he could go home now, he shouted Hell Hitler. The Judge changed his mind and -gave him j 30 days in jail. My grandoappys left leg was j hurting, him quite a bit and the doctor said, old age. That enrag ed my grandpappy so he shot | back at the doctor, my right leg is just as old and it don't hurt a danged bit. See doctors don't know their medicine every time. Some them, good for nothing, others good for something, just 1 like me and" you. * Now they say its getting so much worse just one thing after D?LLinCCR*S " JCUKL SHOP ^Wlfi ff C Kings Mountain's Leading Jewelers ?Quality Cleaning?

Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph Company a big lift to better living another and they are about right. We should get out of the U. N. and get back to the constitution and the American way of life. Hurrah for old rail splitting Abe Lincoln. Mrs. Roosevelt says in her col umn, she has discovered a new hearing aid. What, we need most right now is, a device to eJlmate hearing unnecessary noises like flying ice burgs. The now Deal's treatment of dear old China, Joe Stalin says 1s a disgrace. To hell with Statin. But who dad, asked S year old Joe. Why do you slr.n my report card with a T Easy son, replied his father, I don't want your teacher to know that any one in your grades could have a father who can't read or write. Usually the promises of the po liticians in November and the Santa Clauses' gifts jewelry go into the trash cian about the same time. We believe the president, Har ry has got the Civil Rights pro gram to where it seems he will be damned if he does and be damned if he doesn't I don't propose to consult any body. I'm running this show, and its free for all. So my dears won't you give the old hay seed a shove. Thank you folks Oh lets quit all this warring about all this talk as to what the Chinese might do to Uncle Sam whirligig. The earthworm is the farmers best friend. Where does Truman come in if 4 hat be so. ? An old church member got up to tell his experience. Well bre thern, I don't know where I stand I've been cat called and devil drug by my neighbors. The prea cher said brother you better pray for your neighbor. That's the trouble now. They want the other fellow to do all the praying. Well that's about all he said, but didn't he speak a parable. The Good Book says your sins will find you out, but what trou bles most folks is the fact that the neighbors will find them out. Really there is no ugly women these are only women who do not know how to look pretty. Pretty in as pretty does sister. The best thing about living out in the country, is that you can fight with your wife without be-, ing heard all over town.. The aim of this paper is to keep history straight. One thing you and me can bet on. Whatever this human race gets of anything it will come back for a second helping. Oh yes, Christmas comes the 25 of December this year. I've al ready started receiving Christ mas cards one from Sarg. Wray Steward on the other side of the globe, where men fight, one from Captain Shaw and wife in Bar ten. ?Now for Heavens sakes don't tell everything I've said, they might not believe all of it but it's so. We are striking over here, they are fighting over there. What a paradox^ I remember the good old days when Roosevelt's name was mentioned, we stood at at tention. Now he's gone and we can't replace him. I believe it was wise old Shakespeare1 who said two wo men placed together make cold weather, well for mercy sakes is that why we had all that freez ing weather. An old stray eat took up with us, we named it Harry, but- -we call it Truman because we can't get shut of it. that's all for. now.
