The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1946-02-28

What to do about the weather
on the week end was a problem
with many people, but not with
Miss Margaret Phillips, popular
acting postmaaCof.
Margaret he.u Two brothers IN
service, so she has something
to really fall back on when she
went into Bills wardrobe and
pulled out a large hand-knlt
Red Cross sweater that had
served him we'll overseas. 1t
was a little on the large side
for her, but plenty warm, she
admitted.
Margaret was not the only one
looking for something warm to
wear, but most people generally
agreed that it was better to have
cold weather now instead of later,
if we must have it.
Rolling Along!
This day and age there is a
difference in many things. We
are moving along at such rapid
rate that there are many things
we can hardly keep up with.
Instead of by the dozen or each,
we now buy apples, grape fruit
and oranges by the pound.
Other things seems to be
changing, too. We were in T.
G. Miller's store the other day
and in came Lionel Killen and
asked for six rolls of doughnuts!
We knew that doughnuts were
round, would roll easily if drop
ped on the floor, but this was the
first time we knew they were
ordered by the roll!
In The Mail Bag.
Uncle Sam brings more sur
prises than any one uncle we
know. Of course, many of them
pleasant and some not so pleasant
including bills, etc.
We receive many letters from
subscribers. And some of these
are telling us that we have made
a mistake in their subscription;
but we are glad to get these, too,
so we can cor ct them and keep
the paper coming. Others be-
moan the lateness of the arrival
of the paper. And on these,
there is little we can do except
to express the wish that Uncle
Sans mail service will be little
speedier; for we send them out
as always on Thursday. But
this shows interest in the paper:
Other subscribers simply write
us to say how much they enjoy
getting The Post.
Mrs. Thomas Cox, of Laurel
Springs, recently wrote,
please find inclosed a check
for two dollars as a renewal to
my subscription to your paper.
I am very anxious not to miss a
single copy; so if this fails to
reach you by the time the next
copy is printed, please continue
my paper with the issue anyway.
T. F. Lewis, of Creston, writes:
Enclosed you will find money
order for two dollars to renew
my subscription to the Post as
do not want to miss single
copy. The Post means more to
me than any other paper in the
world, so keep it coming"
From Nottingham, Pa, comes
a note from Horace B. Stike with
a renewal saying: GAS a former
resident of Ashe county, enjoy
reading your paper each week. "
81 don't wish to miss single
copy, it is just like getting a let
ter from home; for I used to live
in Ashe county," writes Sam
Winters, of Mountain City, Ten
neSSee.
From r. j. Hall. of Grant, Va,
came a letter recently with a
check for his renewal as well as
nine other people! To Mr.. Hall,
as well as all of the others, we
say, THANK you, again and
again. All this gives us some
extra inspiration as well as some
bread and butter.
Cupid's Dart?
We have no special feature in
this paper devoted to advice to
the lovelorn, the youth or any
other such personal column. We
are not avid readers Of such fea-
lures in other papers, but we are
wondering what Dorothy Dix or
some others, noted in this field,
