“KRAZY KOLUMN”
(As Gathered by the Twin Reporters)

Cliffside, April 27 — Greetings to you all. Have you ever been asked this question, “What are you thinking about when you are thinking about nothing?” Well, I was asked that question once and I tried to think of what I was thinking about, but I couldn’t think of anything that I was thinking about. My mind is perfectly blank as it usually is. I think I need assistance tonight, It I had someone to do the thinking I could do the writing.

Has anyone noticed the mountains this time of year? The mountains are lovely with the beautiful, green trees, and snowy white dogwood. Already people are beginning to go to the mountains. I think North Carolina can be prided for the beautiful scenery she has. The beautiful flower gardens you see and the pretty green lawns between Cliffside and Chimney Rock are awfully pretty at this time. The people indeed have something to be proud of.

To a reader of the Krazy Kolumn at Forest City: We want to thank you for the postal card. The very first one we have received. The joke may be on us but we didn’t break no clock. What difference does Leap Year make? Write again sometime.

It seems that this paper goes a long ways from home. A reader of the Courier, in Boston, Mass., would like to know just who the twin reporters are. Who can answer that one?

Do you know why they call James Brown Brown “Sleepy?” That’s easy, because he has dreamy eyes. Who can answer this: Who is it that is called “Dimples” in Cliffside?

The many friends of Mrs. R. B. Watkins were glad to see her at Sunday school last Sunday, after two months’ absence with [the] flu. She and Mr. Watkins both had the flu at the same time, and Mrs. Watkins says she did not realize they had so many friends until they were taken ill. She wishes to thank through this column their neighbors and many friends for their thoughtful-ness, deeds of kindness and courteous treatment during their illness.
