1936?LAST COLUMN?I 936We were sitting here at our desk amid the litter that

only we are able to create. About our feet lay many piecesof paper?short pieces, long pieces and middle-size pieces?-false starts on hearts and stories; poems that arrive in themail; attempts at free publicity and the like.

All was deathly still. Night had fallen and lay pros-trate over the countryside. Then, from the floor, we hearda faint rustle?a rustle of papersthat only keen ears like ours couldhave detected. We looked down,

but saw nothing. Then silenceagain.

Suddenly, we sneezed!

And that's how we caught ourfirst cold of the year. That rust-ling noise was a cold germ, sneak-ing upon us from the floor. Andnot only did it move in, but sentfor all its relatives. Now, allabout our system cold germs ca-vort and play. Aunts, uncles,nieces and cousins of that origin-al germ play hob with our sneez-ing machinery, working it over-time. Water pours from our eyes.Our usually fine voice is huskyand broken and woe is upon us.

But yet a gleam of light shinesthrough. Now we have use for allthose hankerchiefs Santa Clausbrought!

THIS AND THATOur mother and father spent

Christinas with us. The day be-fore they arrived we received a

! large ham by express frommama. Wanted to be sure she got

something to eat, we guess.

While we are mentioningChristmas gifts don't guess weshould forget to thank Mr. Neaves,down at Chatham's, for the blank-,et he gave us a day or so before

i Christmas. If it hadn't been forhim we would have frozen todeath long ago.

We were so elated over the newblanket that we went down to theElkin Furniture company in hopes

Mr. Bailey would stick a suite offurniture under our arm. How-ever, he was busy with a stock-holders' meeting and probablydidn't think of it.

Speaking of presents, our NewYear's present to you nine read-ers is a very short column thisweek. That's something to bereally thankfully for.

Happy New Year!
