ASBESTOS BUZZING
.Ins! from the Mountain*.
Mr. Fleming, who is now stay¬
ing with Mr. Lewis Roberson, was
down tins way Monday.
The white, the black and the
yellow people turned out last Sun¬
day to pay their respects to “Aunt
Carrie”, the wife of Balus Logan,
who preceded her to the grave
some five years ago. Site came to
this county to teach school several
years ago. She was an asset and
not a liability to J a community
where her lot wijscast. Our grand¬
mothers went to her to have their
letters written. 1 These old time
slaves have nearly all answered the
call. While their masters were at
the front: figh. ing' for what they
called the big hom e to hear about
the conflict. When the New Eng¬
land states found slavery unprofit¬
able they dumped them off oti the
South where they could be ueed in
the cotton and cane fields. Thus
the South was made the goat. The
whites and blacks lived in peace.
When the masters were following
Lee, Gordon, Longstreet andjack
son there was not one ciime com¬
mitted against the womanhood
this Southland bA the slaves. In
that war some claim they were
fighting for state rights others say
for the right for the states ro secede
bur it was like all other wars—a
rich man’s war and a poor man’s
fight. A negro in the
was the entering wedge to the
whole business.
Mr. Edgar Adam? was in this
■section Tuesday in the interest of a
milch cow.
Seniitot Sorghum had
to mend his political fence and to
feel of the pulse of the pulse of his
constituents. He was called upon
at the community club to make an
address. “My country” was his
subject. Just before an election
they always have an interest in
their country. He allowed what
could be worse than a mat? without
a country. A female voice answer¬
ed back. A country without a
m a n.
This is said to be a free country,
then wiiy not turn everybody loose
and let all run for office that wants
too like they used to. There are
several in different parts of the
county that would throw their bon
nets into the if it were not
for costs. In former days they al¬
ways held the election in January
and all entered the contest that de¬
sired to. They had a few fights
and liquid corn was plentiful but
nobody was hurt and the next day
they all got sober. If it keeps on
nobody can enter the healing
water but the well-to-do and the
others will hove to take Ja crust ot
the pie. It cost a whole lot to live
more if you run for office and it
takes it all if you die.
'Phe blue birds are returning to
the old apple trees and preparing
to make nests.
February has Valentine and
Washington’s birthday. Washing¬
ton was one of the few men who
always told the truth. It is told
somewhere that all men are liars.
Washington told the unvarnished
truth about lire cherry tree because
he knew his father was watching
through the window
There is hope they will gel this
war business settled. The most ot
the men if they have to go prefei
the air corps and hope the air ves¬
sel will fly so high that the steei
poiuted bullets can do no harm.

There is living at this time many
an old bo/.o, who from having tail¬
ed to pay In’s debts during this de¬
pression, will go down to his grave
branded as one who was dishonest
and unreliable.
Well, anyway, it a fellow lives
to be a hundred years old and dies

he only lives to be fifty he lias only

Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Nix and

Tlie Humane Society of Terrapin
Ridge met in regular session Mon¬
day night, Feb. i, 193-. Chair¬
man S. <). Andso called the meet¬
ing to order. Minutes of previous
meeting read and confirmed, bills
read and referred, none; unfinish¬
ed business, none; new business.
Under this head there was a move
and a second rnd after some dis¬
cussion a vote was taken which
stood ttnauinmoiis in favor of the
following : That all timber cutting
be suspended, that all blasting in
stoue quarries come to a close, old
wells and mining shafts that might
be open be filled up or properly
covered with strong tinibers.it close
watch put over rabid dogs, vicious
cats, puddle ducks and ganders, in
fact every thing that was consider¬
ed detrimental lo life, limbs or old
clothes of a candidate was taken in
consideration and was dealt with
in an effort to save as much wear
and tear as possible.
There are people who believe ill
inonogomy, but it looks like that
numbers of our young people be¬
lieve mostly in fooloiogy, judging
from heir gyrnnasticnl procedures
when out riding.

Oh! well, tilings are alright for
iti the future we will look back to
this day with a yearning as we
now look back yonder to the good
old days when the June apples
were red. and the hook and line,
tile brooks tieasure of the finny
tribe, a draught from the gourd
that hung at the spring, the sound
of the cow bells recording direction
and whereabouts of herd, and the
most sublime, the grandest of ail,
is to think of the song that Mother
sang. With all this to wander
back to 111 our memory, why do we
look for so many unpleasant things
why can’t vve enjoy now as we en¬
joyed the now of that day? Au
swei : We are trying to make en¬
joyment with money, or money
bought contrivances, we forget
that we are of nature, and that
other things of nature are our as¬
sociates and as long as we don’t
get too grand in our own estima¬
tion, in nature we are a pal,
See you all on our next round.
Luck to all.

County Agent’s Column
White county inhabitants know
their county is far from the wealth¬
iest in the state iu taxable proper¬
ty, but they love their children as
much as any parents and are will¬
ing and ready to sacrifice if needs
be iu order their children will bene¬
fit, And neither is the county
lacking in fearless leaders, those
who are willing to accept respon¬
sibility for the good of the people,
even the, some enlightened individ¬
uals cast their votes against them
m tlie coming election. Such
leaders as these are H.M.Edwards,
County School Superintendent
who backed Special County Agent
Cooper Morcoek and the committee
from the Cleveland P. T. A who
sought to have a county health pro
grom adopted for the goad of toe
children especially, the one that
would also mean a saving to adults
in doctors bids, sickness and sor¬
row. But it took the foresight and
wisdom and position of O. ILKim
sey, T. V, Cantrell,Henry Allison
and J. II. Stovall, the count)
school board members, who voted
for it to make the health program
possible. As time goes on this
health program will become a liv¬
ing monument lo the school board
members who passed it, making
life happier and easier not only tor
the piesent. generation of school
ahildren and adults, but for the
thousands of boys and girls that
will follow them,
