THE THIRSTY WENT DRY.
Nothing Doing mt the Coca Cola
Spouts Sunday. All Sorts OF Ruses

Wont YOU gentlemen have a

down I'm his jeans to see if he had the
suhiciency TO meet the eXigencies. a
round dozen had answered the call
and thirty five was all he had Things
began to look little dark. for the
swill disher demands the cash at this
place He had his nerve though:
"Whatll you have, Gentlemen 81

them. Make it thirteen then" said
the reckless one, and wondered
"Notning -doin' said the man be-

He kept his thirty five though.
Above is a simple. short and true
story of life as it occurred Sunday at
the various soda founts. The City
Fathers put the lid down hard and
things were so quiet it almost re-
minded one of New York City or
Jones Picnic. Absolutely nothing was
doing, even at the "nigh-beer" estab-
lishment. One man went to restau
rant and called for one sandwish, Of
fered forty cents to pay for 1t and
asked the clerk to throw in seven
coca colas. He divided with his friends
and quenched the thirst of a few
weary ones. Another staid business
man got word of the impending doom
Saturday evening and took upon him
self big empty bottle. He went to
fountain, had 1t filled with phiz and
bought quart Of syrup. He bought
half dozen cigars, (the ban was plac-
ed on them too) and Sunday he took
1t easy at home.

to MIngle Together.
The. hospitable residents of the
Trinity Ridge section had picnic
Thursday. And it was a real picnic,
one that the poets write about, towns
people dream about and only those
who live In the country or who are
fortunate enough as to attend. enjoy.
Early In the day the people from the
whole surrounding country began to
assembly for day of merriment and
to discuss affairs OF mutual interest.
The old folks were there the middle
and the childi.n were there; all bent
en- having good time and 70 GOV
sumptious dinner that all contribut-
ed to. The table was loaded with good
things to eat; fried chicken, broiled
chicken. salads. dressings. pickles,
pies, custards, cakes, stickies and 9TH
er things too numerous to mention.
Enough was there for all and after q
plenty had been taken off for the
faithful servants, quantities were car
ried off to keep the tired housewives
from preparing supper.
Before the dinner was begun Rev
r.. c. Watson called the four members
of the eighth grade to the head of the
NJ
little talk presented them each with
prize presented by Mr.. Glen Fuller
for regular attendance at school These
four scholars had made a flattering
record in the past years and justly
deserved some kind of recognition.
The records are as follows:
Minnie Irving, present every day
for four years;
Matte Kate Owings, present every
day for three years;
Mary Barksda!e, present everyday
except one for three years:
Anthony Fuller, present every day
for two years.
Although the prizes were not shown
at that time. MI. watson said that
the one presented to the last one not
ed was unlike that presented to the
first three
Following this brief ceremony Rev.
j. p. Attaway. pronounced blessing
and dinner was begun.
In the afternoon the crowd repair
ed to the base ball grounds nearly
where the young folks played several
games and after that all returned to
their homes happy in the thought that
a day had been we'll spent.
The occasion of the picnic was the
closing of the Trinity Ridge High
School. The past session has been a
very successful one under the princi-
palship of Miss Bessie Hudgens who
was assisted by Miss Macie McCarley
and Miss Nellie Mellett.

Now that the farmers are buying

These days of school closinss and
picnics bring gladness and happi-
ness to every community, and the re-
ports indicate that the past scholastic
yea! has been one Of phenominal sue
cess throughout the county. The
school terms have been uniformly

the average and the work on the part
of teachers satisfactory. All in all.

Some steps should be taken. by those
who have the authority, to stop strag-
glers who are not members of the
fire department from jumping on the
wagon when the fire bell rings. Yes
terday, when the wagon dashed out to
so to the glass factory cottage fire,
there were at least half a dozen men
on 1t who had no business there. Be-
sides overburdening the horses, they
crowd members off and caused delay
in reaching the scene of trouble. A fine
OF not less than $500 should be placed
on every non-member of the fire com
pany who gets on the wagon when
going to a fire. a few minutes delay
in reaching a fire some time might
cost thousands of dollars.

The fire which has been shoulder ing in the 300 foot level of the Hol- brook shaft of the Copper Queen mine has been extinsuished accord ing to Mine Superintendent Wood man, and work will probably be re sumed in that quarter of the mine soon. The fire did not interfere with operations at the shaft. the level having been closed with a bulkhead. Recently a force of men armed with hose was set at work flooding the affected parts with water. the result was that the fire has been totally extingushed- Part of the money expended ir fighting the flames has been turn ed back into money by running the impregnated water through pre- cipitating progress and extractins the copper.
