SINGING LUKE
 A SHORT STORY

One time there was little man. The people called him Singing Luke" because he went around hum ming to himself. He had a little boy and dog. He loved them very much One day a strong man came along who had very strong arms. His name was Big Bully. Bully kicked Singing Luke's dog Singing Luke went up to Bully and said, You kicked my dog. l am going to pay you back for it." Bully said, If you don't get out of my way I will kick you, too" So he beat Sing ing Luke up, and walked away. Singing Luke put his ear back on, which Bully knocked off. Then he bent back to Bully and said, T will meet you month from today"
 When the month passed away, Singing Luke went to Bully. Bully beat Singing Luke up, and walked away as before. A man was stand ing at the corner and saw that Sing ing Luke got beaten up. He said to Singing Luke, Why don't you leave Bully alone2 Don't you see that he is a giant and you are a little fel- lew? Bully could beat you up"
 Singing Luke said: ''It don't make any matter how small l am. I'm go- ing to meet him next month, and month after next So singing Luke \went to Bully and said: 'I will meet you a month from today" So, whom the month passed away Singing Luke went back to Bully. Bully beat him up. and left him as before. Singing got up and said T will meet you a month from today" The next month passed away. Singing Luke went where Bully always stood. Bully was not there. The people said That Bul- ly had gotten in @ boat and gone away. There was no more of Bully.

Out of all the dolls that attended the tacky party at the bazar given for the Children's hospital this little cunning thing was the very tackiest.
 Her owner. little Miss Mary Eliz- abeth Norment, who Is holding the dolls chubby little hands, won the first prize for her.
 This prize was captured mainly. 'tis said, on the strength of the feather in the funny little hat Mary Elizabeth had dolly's hair woven in braids and each little pig tail tied
 Late that afternoon, the Indians went home after they had been in- vited back again the next year. Then the people knelt down and prayed and so ended our first Thanksgiving Day.

Nineteen Year Average

1t will be noted that the North Carolina market
reached its lowest point in 1908 and the peak of
prices in 1910. The phenomenal prizes that year
sent the state crazy tobacco growing Just
forty cent cotton caused the growers of that
staple to go wild, with almost the same result,
but not quite disastrous for the tobacco men.
Everybody grew tobacco there last year Men
left the shops, warehouses; stores offices and
many other occupations, to grow tobacco. The
acreage was doubled and the amount of tobacco
produced was doubled. The price dropped more
than half. Yet price dropped more than half Yet
the average price paid last year was above the
average obtaining for the past nineteen years,
which was 1928.
1t is notable fact that South Georgia growers,
selling on the Triton amrket, got Just about the
same price for their tobacco that was paid the
North Carolina growers, although the growers
IN this section are new to the business and were
handicapped by lack of experience, both in grow
ing and marketing.
The average price paid in North Carolina was
2l6l. The average price paid in Triton was
2073 for the season. The total sales here last
year 1,228,274 pounds, for which $25461O78
vas paid, an average per pound of 20.73 This is
| considerably higher than the nineteen year
average, T. . r4>u

TOBACCO PRICES FOR

Tobacco growers in South Georgia are some
times msled into the belief that the growers in
North Carolina and Virginia get better prices
for their tobacco than prevail here This is
not true. The Gazette is indebted to Mr.. J. L.
Williams for a clipping from the Burlington, N.
C., News, published in the heart of the tobacco
belt of that state, giving the average prices paid
for tobacco in North Carolina for nineteen
years. from 1902 to 1920, inclusive. In printing
the News suggests that they be clipped and kept
for reference. In reprinting them, the Gazette
makes the same suggestion. Hire they are
