Henderson daily dispatch., 1938-04-27
ASSOCIATED PRESS AND CENTRAL PRESS


and night in Washington, d. c., but
have never been farther north than
there l have never been to Epson,
Bobbitt, nor Cokesbury. The first
automobile l ever saw was through
the window of the Union Depot IN
Henderson many years ago.
l cannot swim, SO almost got drown
ed once upon a time. l have never
been up in an airplane. l have never
seen the Pacific but have crossed and
drank from the Mississippi Ocean. 1
have been to the mountains one sum-
nler, but the only time 1 ever saw the
ocean was at Ocean View when snow
and sleet covered the ground. SO
have never seen the Bathing Beauties
except in the movies.
My favorte living authors are
| Clarence Buddington Keiland and
Albert Payson Icrhune. The latter
wrote to me several times some years
ago and presented me with one of his
Collie Story Books, all of which l am
most fond. My favorite deceased au-
/ thors are James Oliver Curwood and
! .. q. Mcintyre. l have told you al
about myself, now some of you write
and tell me about yourself.
The reasons of ali the above are two.
The first one was to fill up space.
The other one was that when Mrs.
Jones and myself went to the banquet
Saturday night, Mrs. Raymond Daniel
said, Moses, please sometime real
soon write up your family history in
your column. Every time l go back
home someone wants to know who
you are. Mrs. Daniel was the former
Miss Fannie Pardue of Bear Pond
which, She says, is still the Garden
Spot of the world.
But l left myself in the Dispatch
office talking to a young man, so we
will return there. Before leaving, L
met 4. c. CReD Taylor. After ex-
pressing his pleasure at having met
me face to face, and engaging in con-
versation tor a short while, Mr.. Tay-
( lor departed. When he left 1 learned
that Mr.. Taylor was the President of
the Lions Club. 1t is not everyone
who has personality that stands out,
nor the disposition to fit in wherever
he may be, but I'll just bet those two
reasons are the primary causes of
Red Taylor being the Lions Club
President. 1t all goes to prove what
our Sunday school teacher Rev. f.
NJ. Shamburger, recently told us, IF
you will cultivate the patch you now
have, you will be given a larger
patch
Found a couple more letters waiting
Tor me including this one: "Kittrell,
N. c., April y, 1888. Dear T. Moses:
l read your Grits and Gravels every
day and hope you will keep writing
1t. You have been printing other
peoples pictures in the paper, but
haven't seen yours yet. How about
printing it sometime? How about
naming your gosling "Blueboy"?
Sincerely,
Gladys Perkinson."
Thanks for the name for the Cos
ling, Miss Gladys.
Word reaches us that w. H. Wor-
tham has at last reached Vancouver,
Washington, on the Westinghouse
.cn line And his pal, Thomas Muir
ray is along with that same crew of
&c boys. Suppose they will go in
Wading in the Pacific Ocean before
they return home. How about that,
M. H.? Hope one of your sisters will
cut this out and send to you so you
will write us letter telling about
your wonderful trip.
Sam Blackwell had a big fish from
the market Saturday. l asked him if
it were a shad or a round fish He
said he didn't care if it were round
or square, just SO it was good
. r. G.. Moss of Route has become
Dispatcher recently. Hope he and
the rest of the farmers do not have
much damage from blue mold.
Mrs. j. p. Tunstall of Route 2 and
her old man, Pat, also read between
the lines. She was formerly Miss Pat
tie Belcher. They have seven chill
dren, but Mrs. Tunstall says that
sometimes it seems like fourteen.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. D. Pendletop, too,
are using the Dispatch as one Of their
Bureaus of Information. Mr.. Pendle-
ton will have to get new hat this
year as neighbor's goat ate his nice
straw hat at the end of the past sea-
son. Hardly a Saturday night pass
es but that they come uptown and sit
in their car and watch the world go
gently floating by.
told ROmie Vaughan that he
should get himself an old lady to
read the news to him so he would not
strain his eyes. Romie is plenty young
