Grits and Gravel
(By T. MOSES JONES)

After all those names I thought UP
for Robert Lee Tingen to name that
fine new baby girl at his house, what
do you think he did? Exactly like l
tolk YOU he would. They went and
combinated his and his wife's names,
Mary Lee, and that is what they call
her. Well, don't blame him one bit.
That is as good as any other name
they could have thought of.
Mrs. B. M. .Stainback and Baby,
Joyce, of Henderson spent dry or
so recently next door to us at the
home of her sister, Mrs. Joe Billy
Hunt. .ft
Jack Newton of Raleigh has visited
his folks, friends, and relatives IN
the Mountain Creek section. Jack
was Granville boy some years ago.
M. r. Spivey, manager of Roses
Five & Ten here at Oxford, has re-
turned to his home from Granville
jlsspiIal where he underwent an
operation some days ago. We hope
he will soon be- able to be back on
the job again.

ing in the world but stayed at home
and waited for the fifth"
am, sure the readers have been
enjoying Mr.. Sum Peaces letters in
the Dispatch telling about their trip
to California and return, also Tommy
Roses letter a couple of weeks ago.
And there was also another recent
historical sketch from my own Cousin
John B. Watkins, Jr., concerning Will
liamsboro and Burnside. If 1 could
readers do, 1 would know lot more
than 1 do, but I can't memorize by
reading, nor remember much, either.
Uncle Tom Bowling said he visited
down at the Mitchells last Sunday
and that young fellow asked him
about me. You go to Middleburg,
turn to the left, and go for some
miles. I can't remember the young
mans name, but he worked here a.
the warehouse and I saw him rea
often, think he is the one who hurt
his hand and had bloodpoison and
had to go to the hospital for treat
ment.. If he reads this I wish he
would write and let me know how he
is getting on.
: When I ran the old popcorn stand
here five or six years ago, Clarence
Neal came through in truck and
sold me a small amount of candies
and so forth. He was then working
for Robert Satterwhite who was rails
ed down. near Dexter, but runs the
wholesale candy shop over there.
Now Mr. Neal works for the Morgan
Murray Wholesale Company here,
though he still lives in Henderson. I
see him ever so often.
