last Sunday.
We have had some spring-like
weather the past week, which
called the farmer from refreshment
to labor and the plows are
running and the blue birds are
getting in some of their spring
notes.
Recently we heard a couple of
our colored brethien, namely.
Uncle Mose and John, discussing
the hard times, panic, etc., and I
John says: '.'Uncle Mose, what is
dis thing panic the white folks
talks so much about?" Uncle
Mose: "0, go long way yo no

panic yo habs no money in yo '
pocket." John: "Well, fo Gawd

Flirtations of Winter and Spring.
It is a remarkable time all
iround. The one freeze of the
vinter that came along several
veeks ago, cut off from our peo)le
the garden supplies for straw>erry
pie and checked the coming l
ut of the trees, but this was I
mly a temporary interruption.
rirst thing you know, we are J
:oing to have trees in green leaf
n January. On a recent brief .
:et-away from the office, this
writer saw spring plowing going
n in one field and cotton picking
n another, this in Mecklenburg
ounty?and, by thj? way, there
5 yet a little cotton in the lields 1
langing out for 15 cents. The
lildness of the winter is more in
vidence in the mountains than
n this immediate section. The J
