if they wol(d be carried out. Sir
Galahad wished for no better oppcr-

The lady suggested February 3rd.

Eli says these "small local Banks"
give him considerable worry. When
he goes in and asks for the loan of
hundred dollars for a short while
they tell him that their money is all
tied up and they regret they cannot
accommodate him. When he tries
his luck at another bank and asks
for five dollars he is told they do
not care to lend out so small an
amount.
These "small, local banks" GER
tainly do get fellows goat.

JUST LIKE GRAM-PAW.
Dale Barksdale Welsh is one of tn

Dale Barksdale Welsh is one of the
liveliest boys on Greenville Street.
He is very much like his "gram-paw'
and one of these days will be as big
a man. He is growing fast in that
direction already. Dale has been MAX
ing his presence in the community
felt too.
Monday afternoon he was playing
in the front yard of the Greenvilla
street residence while soms Of rae
lad boys of the street were in front
of his house on the High School
grounds playing basket bail and ten
mis-. The dead grass got in the way
of the bad boys and one of them
struck match and lighted the grass.
In little while there was a consider
able volume of smoke and some fire
fighting by the bad boys. Dale saw
the smoke and cit rag" for the
telephone. He called up the fire de-
partment, and shouted, "The school
house is on fire and the ashes are
coming out of the windows" 1t didn't
take long for the fire department and
Col. Harry Wilson to make run up
Greenville street. They all returned
greatly disgusted that there was no
fire.
But to return to Dale. Thursday
afternoon Dale went on the hike with
the Baptist Boosters. Mr.. Martin who
has been training the young people
of the church in the art of singing
was so pleased with the progress made
that he took the whole booster choir
out to the Wham's on a hike. Dale
went along of course, because like
his "gram-paw," when cotton is 60
ing up, Dale is also a booster. When
they got to the branch Dale decided
to show Mr.. Martin anYsome of the
small boys what a real live boy from
Greenville street could do, so he
undertook to jump the branch. Well
he did, but he bounced back and his
left arm hit the ground first on the
rebound, dislocating the arm at the
elbow. Dale was brought back to
town, and when the doctor got to
"fooling" with his arm the first
thing it did was to jump back into
place.
The preacher then got Dale in the
car and brought him home in time to
find Dale's mother giving a big card
party, but that didn't matter because
the preacher and Dale got that much
more of the~"goodien which was :be.
ing served.
This is about all Dale has done this
week, but there are several other
weeks coming.
