The column blends personal woes about a flea infestation spreading from dogs to a homeowner, upcoming wool auctions in Johnsonville SC noting high prices, and general musings on work, morals, and character. It weaves in quotes about the value of action and duty amid daily pests and public life.
A piece urges teens to maintain good eye health through regular vision checks, proper lighting, and rest. It advises against reading in dim rooms or with glare, recommends a 70 inch desk lamp distance, suggests a 100 watt bulb, and promotes eye drops, balanced diet, and sleep for alert minds.
James Hughes 17 son of Carlisle and Hughes of Shallotte earned ROTC drill honors in Detroit among 2,400 participants from 15 high schools. He enlisted in the Army in 1955 and trained at Fort Campbell Kentucky. Hughes is a 1955 graduate of Shallotte High and a senior at UNC School of Pharmacy in Chapel Hill.
A quirky reminiscence on state laws and editor life. The piece satirizes crime and censorship by mocking calls to criminalize swearing for newspaper workers while recounting editor anecdotes and a Fayetteville North Carolina scene. It hints at editor William F. Wightman and a Fayetteville setting with period details.
The piece reflects on losses in a town election where Gene Cook and C M Fowler failed to win Town Board seats yet remain spirited. It notes a write in vote for the author, a gift of a toy pistol, and a pool hall gift card from Red Tyndall as a novel promotion. A local handshake attempt underlines perseverance.
A fragmentary OCR note attributes a roadside sermon by a preacher named Wilkins from Tabor City. It mentions a cleaning business and snippets of song or hymn lines about highways and guidance, with unclear pricing and mileage phrases.
A garbled OCR fragment shows an ATU agent discussion about a payment and a plan to collect money, with a young man delaying and promising to return. The piece shifts to a note about a reader being notified of a subscription expiration and a passing remark that sometimes no news is good news.
