4 LETTER FROM J. S. PRIMER
Norfolk. VA. June IN. 1917.

Norfolk, Va, June IL, 1917.
Editor LEADER will write a short
letter to my friends and let them
know my whereabouts. / am in Nor
folk, Va. Have been to see my son,
Clay, who is in the training camp
over in Berkeley. He belongs to a
band and plays the big horn. We went
out to Ocean View to see the people
battle in the salt water. 1t is very
nice to be in the water here and have
these big waves to run over you.
Before / left Washington, d. G., |
went into the National Museum. /
saw more in one hour than / could see
in thousand years out on the farm.
l saw whale 80 feet long. ] saw an
egg the size Of 144 hen eggs, all kinds
Of metal ore on large meteors that
were found in the earth where these
meteors struck. / went up in George
Washington's monument in the ele-
vator. The monument is BOB feet
high. You can get into a Ford car
and ride all day for dollar an hour.
Some Of these men make $40 per
hour. They have cars that hold 20
people,
Well, would better close, for if /
were to tell you all / have seen your
paper couldn't hold it.
| like this part Of the country very
well. 1t is a lovely place to live in
and people seem to have good health.
Upton county thinks she has had
storms. / want to tell you what /
saw. When | went to Baltimore, Md,
stopped at Hagerstown and went
into restaurant to get a lunch. The
house was covered with lumber and
tar paper, but the hail stones came
through, and a man told me they
killed people on the streets. They
said the stones were as large as a
common lamp. J. S. PRIMER.

Mr.. e. w. Ballard, who was
among the visitors here from the 4th
district Monday, reported that Joe
Stevens who lives on his place, had
lately taken five onions from his gar
den that weighed from IL to frac-
tion over Is ounces each. Ord. r. Bart
let, Of Detroit, who lately showed us
such fine onions grown in his garden
and who made an offer of a barrel of
-four to anyone who would show
larger homegrown onions than his,
will now have to look to his laurels.
SO many people assume that a
newspaper man has already gotten
news item-in other words, when
asked for news, they reply that they
know of nothing, assuming, as a mat
ter of course, that the scribe has
already heard what they know.
Many a good item is lost in this way
every week. A newspaper man can't
find out things by intuition and unless
he sees anything happen has to be
told about it like anybody else. Don't
assume that a newspaper man already
knows an item, but tell him about it.
Mr.. C. H. McMillen, formerly of
Munford, who has lately been making
his home in San Diego, CAL, was in
the city Saturday. Mr.. McMillen had
just arrived in Memphis from San
Diego, making the trip of 1921 miles
in a Ford car. He used 1875 gallons
of gasoline and six gallons of oil. 1t
required Is days to make the trip and
he travelled over the Santa Fe trail
with the exception of side trips to
Denver and Grand Canyon. He had
fine trip, experienced no trouble and
the car was in good shape on his ar
rival He made as much as $40 miles
in a day.
Owing to vigorous advertising
campaign conducted by one of our
leading business houses, a large
crowd was attracted to Covington
Saturday and the best Saturdays bus
mess for a long time was enjoyed by
our merchants. Some Of them report
a Is per cent. increase in business
over other Saturdays and some even
more than that. Business has been
unusually good all the spring and
summer, Notwithstanding war condi-
tions, and one of our leading mer-
chants reported a $4,000 increase for
the month up to June %, as compared
to the same date last year.
1t will be of interest to the many
friends of the bride to know of the
marriage of Mrs. Hazel Quekemeyer,
Of Yazoo City, Miss, to Mr.. Henry
Hugo Green, of Memphis, which
occurred on May % at the home of
the bride. Mrs. Quekemeyer will be
pleasantly remembered in Covington
by many friends for her charming
manners and many admirable traits
of character. She was stenographer
for the law firm of Owen & Bringle.
Many good wishes are extended to
herself and husband, who will in the
future reside in Memphis.

Only IS per cent of the men applying
for enlistment in the navy are accepted,
according to ]. Z. Adams, local re-

stringent examination given the men. A
notable fact about the recruiting for
the navy is that larger per cent of
men are accepted in the west than in
the east.
