TELEPHONE ONE IF YOU HAVE VISITORS OR ANY OTHER NEWS ITEM THANK YOU ALL KINDS OF COMMERCIAL PRINTING AND ENGRAVING PHONE NO. ONE VOL. 9; NO. 32 NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6. 1946 $1.50 PER ANNUM I AM INDEBTED to my young friend Francis Aull, now a member of the Johnston Herald staff, for a copy of the poem mentioned here last week. I thought I was bold enough to print the whole thing but I detest vulgarity and I feat- some of my more Puritanical read ers might think some of it just that. Here is enough of it to make sense and I am sure my older readers will appreciate it. Ey-the- way, it was written by James Whit- como Riley, and not by Longfellow, as I said here last week: When memory keeps me company and moves to smiles or tears, A weather beaten object looms thru the mist of years. Behind the house and bam it stood a half a mile or more— And hurrying footsteps a path had made straight ^ to its swinging door. Its architecture was a type of simple classic art, But in the tragedy of life it played a leading part. And oft the passing traveller drove slow and heaved a sigh To see the modest hired girl slip out with glances shy. We had our pa.ey garden that the women loved so well I loved it too, but better still I loved the stronger smell That filled the evening breezes so full of homey cheer, And told the night o’ertaken tramp that human life was near. On lazy August afternoons, it made a little bower Delightful where my grandsire sat and whittled away an hour. For there the summer mornings its very cares intwined, And berry bushes reddened, in the streaming soil behind. All day fat spiders spun their webs to catch the buzing flies That flitted to and from the house where ma was baking pies. And once a bunch of hornets bold had built a palace there And stung my unsuspecting aunt— I must not tell you where. When gandpa had to “go out back” and make his morning call We’d bundle up the dear old man with muffler and a shawl. I knew the hole on which he sat ’twas padded all around, And once I dared to sit there— ’twas all to wide I found. My loins were all too little, and jack-knifed there to stay. They had to come and pry me out or i’d have passed away. Then father said ambition was a thing that boys should shun And I must use the children’s hole till childhood days were done. And still I marvel at the craft that cut those holes so true: The baby hole and the slender hole that fitted sister Sue. That dear old country land-mark: I’ve tramped around a bit, And in the lap of luxury my lot has been to sit. But ere I die, I’ll eat the fruit of trees I’ve robbed of yore. Then see the shanty where my name is carved upon the door. I ween the old familiar smell will soothe my jaded soul. I’m now a man, but none the less, I’ll try the children’s hole. "THIS BEAUTIFUL WORLD—Ah! this beautiful world! I know not what to make of it! Sometimes it is all 'sunshine and gladndss and Heaven itself lies not far off—ana then suddenly it changes, and is dark and sorrowful and the clouds shut out the day. In the lives of the saddest of us, there are bright d.-ys like this when we feel as if we could take the great world in our arms. Then come gloomy hours when the fire will not burn in our hearth, and all without and within is dismal, cold and dark.” Men before Longfellow speculat ed thus and will go on speculating ’til time is done. Perhaps the great poet knows more about it now, per haps not. Certain it is such thoughts did not die with the author of Evangeline. Turning the radio dial late last summer on a Sunday morning, preachers of every creed from Holy Roller to sophisticated Presbyterian told me of the goodness and mercy of the Most High. They mentioned bountiful crops, beautiful weather, and many other things we selfish call “blessings”. On a newscast the same morning the speaker told of three little girls up in New York state hurrying home hand in hand in the wake of a gathering storm. When near their home a bolt of lightning from the Gift For Calcotes Little News Items From Members Of Local Interest PROGRAM FOR SANTA EVENT A “fair-well attention” to Rev. Claude A. Calcote and family on the eve of their departure for his new field of work in Birmingham, Alabama ,was given Tuesday even ing from 8 until 9 o’clock in the rooms of the educational building of Aveleigh Presbyterian church on Calhoun street. The members of the congrega tion and a few special guests, in cluding other ministers of the city and th :ir wives, were present for the occasion. Each visiting minis ter made some fitting remarks. A sterling silver engraved tray given by Aveleigh church, was presented to Rev. and Mrs. Calcote by E. B. Purcell, and a generous check also from the church was presented by Henry Swindler. Helena and Queens, out-post churches, which were organized by Rev. Calcote, also took part in this special occasion. Mrs. E. E. Mel ton, representing Helena church, presented Rev. Calcote a check from that organization, and Ralph Higgins, acting for Queens church, presented Rev. Calcote a check from that outpost. In the receiving line with Rev. and Mrs. Calcote, were members, representing different branches of the church. R. Derrill Smith, an elder, and Mrs. Smith, Henry Swindler, chairman of the board of deacons, and Mrs. Swindler, Leon Nichols, superintendent of Ave leigh Sunday school and Mrs. Nich ols, and Mrs. A. T. Neely, vice- president of the Woman’s Auxiliary. The rooms were beautifully dec orated with nandina berries and red canles. Enjoyable refreshments were served during the evening. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Ringer and son Carl Douglas of Columbia, and Mr. and Mrs. James Ringer of Great Falls, were Thanksgiving holiday visitors in the home of *their par ents, Mr. and Mrs. B. P. Ringer on Chapman street. IF YOU ARE ever moved to com pare her to some sweet young thing of today, maybe this will put you back on the right track: “Memories long in ashes laid; Hour of peace and splendor; Sinking sun, a star-eyed maid Standing in the olive’s shade, Radiant and slender.” THIS SEEMS TO sound all right yet it is strikingly like the fellow who tells his sweetheart he loves her too much to marry her: "Hello, Folks; I've enjoyed your SUN more than you'll ever know for 2 years. I don't want to be selfish, so because of the paper shortage I give .my share to some one else for a while—not too long! Thanks for everything. Mrs. A. M. Mayer, Route 3, Box 70B." AN ONLY SON “Its only a litle grave,” they said “Only just a child that’s dead”; And so they carelessly turned away From the mound that the spade had made that day. Ah! they did not know how deep a shade , That little grave in our home had made. I know the coffin was narrow and small— v One yard would have served for an ample pall; And one man in his arms could have born away The rosebud and its freight of clay. But I know that darling hopes were hid Beneath that tiny coffin Tid. I know that mother had stood that day With folded hands by that form of clay; I know that burning tears were hid ’Neath drooping lash and aching lid And I know her lip, and cheek and brow Were almost as white as her baby’s now. I know that some things were hid away. The crimson frock, the wrappings gay; The little sock and the half-worn shoe, ITie cap with its plumes and tassels blue; And an empty crib with its covers spread, As white as the face of the sinless dead. ’Tis a little grave, but oh! beware! For world-wide hopes are buried there. And ye perhaps, in coming years, May see, like her, thru bliding tears, How much of light, how much of joy, Is buried up with on only boy! inky sky knocked one of them to the pavement, killing her instantly. I would like to tell you why this could happen. I would like to be able to show you 'that it is consist ent, but I can’t. Only the preach ers have the answer, and their’s is no answer at all.
