Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1938-05-04

Winston-Salem is the home of State
Grand Master r. D. Watson, who was
given that position of honor and re-
sponsibility at the convention year
ago at Wilmington. He and his wife,
who is district DEPUTY president of the
Rebekah Assembly, have travelled
over this State the past year in the
interest of Odd Fellowship. 1t is an
inspiration to see them, or to hear
them.
They were here several weeks ago
in Oxford, and Grand Master Wat
son will preside here soon in the ses-
sions of the State Grand Lodge. Mrs.
Watson will also have an important
role in the Rebekah Assembly, which
will convene simultaneous with our
convention.
Now I am going to fool everybody.
No, I did not ride over to Henderson
with an insurance agent this morn
ing, but | did start ont walking As
usual. No. 1 did not ride over with
Allie Hart, nor any other automobile
salesman, But l did ride out to Tabs
Creek church with Carl O'Brien,
whose mother, Miss Emma" was a
sister of Allies Daddy, Mr.. Bob Hart.
Carl had the registration book for
Salem township, job which I envy
no one. had that job for South OK
ford during the last presidential cleo
ton, and also for the special schoo,
bond election, which I hope will be
my last time. It is a job of which I
term a thousand dollars worth of
responsibility TWEEN: y-Sive dollars
worth of honor and about five dollars
worth of pay. Those are my COM
parsons, but if any one proves me
wrong, l will gladly make the neces-
Sary corrections.
When Carl turn I'd eff the highway
to go his way, there stood James Mel
son, going my way, another air pas
senger. So we both struck a Decline
walking down the road until he hit
buds Tavern. James works at your
Pine Tree Lodge on Raleigh Road,
And before l tell this great, long rig
ma-role about James Nelson, I wish
to give you this bit of information
I do not want any one to think that
! am great brain wonder, for 1 come
lots truly nearer being a .rainless
wonder AS it happened, I got all this
Forthcoming information about James
when we both rode back to Oxford
about a week ago as co-passengers in
the same car. 1t took me the whole
distance while riding to absorb it
enough to make notes of some.
So here goes-James is the over
grown young son of the former Miss
Foy Green, and Irket T. Nelson. Miss
Foy is a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
Green, from down below Dexter, just
over the Vance line. She teaches at
Pineland College at Salemburg, N. c.
]. T. Nelson farms at the home OF
Mrs. Lallie Gooch Critcher CMrs.
Robert c.. Critcher), who is the aunt
OF Miss Foy and the great-aunt of
James. So Mrs. Lalle Critcher is a
sister of Mrs. Ed. Green.
l. T. Nelson spells his name Irket,
while his relative, U. J. Brooks spells
his name Urquhart, but folks pro-
nounce it Irket. But l always hold up
the right of every mhan or whoman.
bhoy or ghirl. to spell their name as
they phleizes. Zhas what l dhuzes.
What l started out to say, was that
when l was carrying Daddy Joneses
mail, l was invited out to Mr.. Ed.
Greenes' home to a party one night.
But it turned out to be freezing cold
and me and another boy got about
two or three miles from town on our
way out there in his buggy. The
ground was full of frozen wheel tracks
which were very rough to drive over,
