(By T. MOSES JONES.)

Harold, and also Charlie Speed and
Wayne Iobgood, left Thursday aft
ernoon for Washington, N. c., on a
fishing expedition. Mr. PARROT said
| that he would be satisfied with moth
| ing less than a whale to bring home
for a souvenir. 1 know that Wayne
will do nothing while he is gone but
sing, You're AS Welcome as The
Flowers In May which has been his
favorite song since they used to play
it over the loud-speaker which rest
ed in the transom of Andrew Kit
treM's Music Store some years ago
Hope none of them fall overheard.
Someone got sorry for Collie Viii
son, John c. Williams, or Frank
Leavister at the stamp window today,
and accidentally left a bag with a
nice lunch in it there in the post
office. 1 suppose the three of them
divided it.
Another former Granville man is
A. p. Mutt, just over the line some
where in Vance. Was over to town
today and said he had found out
from neighbours paper that 1 was
working for the Dispatch I think
he should ought to take one himself.
How about that, A. p?
j. H. Cakes and a couple of sons
from Henderson and the surround
ing country were also here today.
Looked like Vance was agreeing with
them.
Irving Mangurn, of Rocky Mount,
was in town Thursday talking with
old friends. 1t has been a time since
he was back at his old home town.
where he lived for many years.
Mr.. and Mrs. Davis Averett, form

day, stopping in town a short while.
Grady Currin also came with them
Grady said some of the plants in that
section would be large enough to
plant in two or three weeks, being
extra early this season. They also
had a right bad hail Tuesday, but
were not yet bothered with the blue
mold.
Saw the picture of Miss Rebecca
Patterson, daughter Of DR.. and Mrs
Kenneth Howell Patterson, in the
Mondays paper. She surely looked
nice in her Girl Scout uniform, after
the Court of Awards. The Pattersons
came by to see us several years ago
and we usually receive a Christmas
Card from them at that season of
each year. Before we were married
Mrs. Jones taught school in the old
home neighborhood of Mrs. Patter-
son.
NJ. F. Burns, of Route 4, was work
ing on a wire fence yesterday and a
piece of wire hit him in the eye He
was in town this morning on his way
to Durham to see an eye specialist.
Saw him pass through on his way
home this afternoon, but he did not
stop. Hope the accident does not
prove serious.
A car passed town this morning
with young couple in it. "Just Mar
ried" was written all over it several
times in large letters with liquid
chalk just like the high school ball
game ads are written with on the
sidewalks. Although I most likely
will never know who they are, I hope
they will live long and happily.

IS not Cinderella fairy story, but a
rue story of a man who reached the

pulling, nor by the help of his friends.
He put his heart and soul into his
work and gave the best that was in
him to his millions Of readers.
George Hobgood from down east
