In fact, don't recollect ever having
him previously. Says he might stay
at least week if Philip doesn't run
him home sooner.
The young gentleman, D. p. Robin
son, has been working here at the
Lyon Drug Store for about six weeks,
but / had the pleasure of meeting him
only yesterday. Said he had worked
ct Woolard's there in Henderson be-
fore coming to Oxford.
Found him checking up a big bill
CT goods that had just been unpacked,
and he was marking down the price
on each article, with his left hand
holding the pencil. Asked him If he
were sensitive about being left-hand-
ed, but he said he was not.
One of the head ladies out at our
hospital year or so ago wrote with
her left hand, but no one had better
not say anything about it to her. She
is gone now, though, and will hardly
read this.
Mr.. Robinson said he was raised at
Graham and was graduated from the
U. N. c. School of Pharmacy. ask
ed if he knew young lady, not tall
and not stout, but bit plumpish, who
had real pretty curly hair, Cight col
ored hair, but not exactly blonde) a
what you might call doll face, a really
pretty girl, just about what you might
call beautiful, who could just sit down
at piano and literally tear it all to
pieces (figuratively speaking), who
was down at the San when I was
there in 1927, and whose home was at
Graham.
He finally thought that it was a
Miss Watson, and I recognized the
name as being correct She was the
kind of girl, the likes of whom one
might meet as many as five or ten
in a whole. life time.
Well, anyway was glad to have
met Mr.. Robinson.
And who did 1 see back in town
yesterday but Mrs. w. o. Jones. She
has been in bad health for months,
but is seeming to be bit better, and
was truly looking as though she is
improving.
And one day not many days ago J..
E. Crowder rode back towards the
other side of Henderson to visit his
folks for few hours. He is now
working here in the ice cream parlor.
Graham West of North Wilkesboro.
is spending several days with his pa
rents, Mr.. and Mrs. George T. West, in
the Mountain Creek neighborhood.
Graham works for the j. M. Gregory
Construction Company and has been
off with them for year or so.
But Graham did not have the same
kind of fortune to happen to him as
did Cartine O'Brian. Cartine has also
been working with Graham, but Car
tine was married TO a lady from that
section of the State some time ago,
and they are. now visiting his folks
near here. 80
