This is prediction and the
main activities are of politics
and the laying by" of crops.
One young fellow said he was
not blowing his corn but was
merely laying it to rest. The
votes will be counted and the
various politicians will be at
rest, either happy, or, unhappy
as the case may rest when this
is published. Happily. and for
tunately, I've never qualified
to be a politician and so l am
relieved or not accounted re-
Sponsible for any balloting
done. One thing a true peddler
can be assured of is the hearty
welcome he receives in the
homes of people he calls on.
This l enjoy and thank YOU
good folk for.
Near the greatest argument
is the question of whether the
old mule or horse drawn mach
inery is better than the newer
and I believe, more efficient
tractor driven machinery. I've
grown up seeing the old hand
methods and the other methods
and of the three l must con-
cede the younger boys have it
by many points over the old
ways.
1t is most discouraging
though to see a planter survey
his fields after Il disastrous
hail storm and sadly shake his
head and murmur-"Weu, l
don't know whether to work it
out or not" Then the old light
will come back into his eyes
ard he sayS-"I might as well,
there are lots of crops to be
made yet" Then you know you
are talking to a farmer!
Mrs. Pink Whaley of Nakina,
is spending some time in Gal
inbur, Tennessee, visiting rel
ativeS and old friends. BY last
reports Mr.. Whaley is doing all
right and says he is enjoying
his vacation. | must qualify
that statement by saying | per-
sonally checked on Mr.. Wha-
ley's activities and found them
to be of the highest calibre He
showed me a Bible that is we'll
over a hundred years old.
Charles Hilburn. twelve year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Solo
mon Hilburn, Route 3. White
vile underwent an appended
omv at Columbus County Hos
pital on May II. Charles seems
TO be having a run of bad luck.
Just recently while playing he
suffered a cut on Cor ir"D his
scalp that took eight stitches
to close Happily he is said to
be on the road to recovery
now.

Fish stories and hunting
stories still take the lcad-Lcc
Gore, retired business man and
ardent sportsman is RESPONSE
bic for this one. Said Mr.. Gore
when l owned and opera'-
ed the property now known as
Lake Tabor I was approached
by a man who had q deer dog
for sale. ! was impressed by
the dogs name which was Old
Trail and we struck a bargain.
For some time | KEEP. the dog
tied up in my back yard but
soon started letting him run -
loose in the afternoon. Then ! +
noticed ne would plung in the
lake and swim completely a.
round It. This mystified everv-
one until some one volunteered II
the information that a gentle
man from out Of the area had II
been fishing IN the lake with a
lure made from the hair from
a deer's tail" Frankly. this
could be just another dog story
but Mr.. Gore verified his lat
est fish stories by giving me n
look into his deep freeze and
he has got all ne says he
caught. So | could be wrong.
