we were soon again on our way.
1 did not exactly know whether
Gene was going to steal his bride,
elOpe, run away, or have a home or
church wedding. Some days after
wards I saw Thomas Wynne who told
me that the couple had really married
that day, and were hoping to live
happily ever after. But have not yet
again seen the groom, and have not
met the bride AS they are living near
Oxford, 1 hope to have that pleasure
soon.
The Jones boys are now at task
that they very much dislike. They
after much persuasion and SO forth,
are cleaning away the dishes, and
singing duetically, II like mountain
music" So if there is lot of noun
tain music mixed up among these
lines, or any other kind of music for
that matter, then do not blame me.
One of the many important things
which have never yet learned is the
art of concentration. Mrs. j. Y. Paris
cultivated that art up to the highest
state of perfection of any one 1 have
ever known.
Raymond Hicks from Bobbitt spent
a recent weekend at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Claude Gresham over to-
wards Kittrell. Raymond did not look
very hungry, but knew he would get
something good to eat if he visited in
that home for a day or so. There are

But the one worth while
Is the one who can smile,
When everything goes dead wrong.
That may be quoted, or it may be
mis-quoted, anyway you will know
what I mean. And I don't even feel
like grinning, much like smiling. Had

misplaced the list of the young gen

one would come in the night and re-
move the town clock with its Eteeple,
Henderson would never seem the
same to me. I always look COR that
the same as a sailor or captain looks
for light house. 1t is just a plain,
ordinary looking affair, but it really
means a lot to some folks, maybe; il
does to me.
And right here I am going to stop
long enough to count twelve, and ask
some of the children (if any who
read this, to please sit right down and
write us poem about the town clock

get printed in this column.

He drew so well that the company or

the picture. they refused to believe
the fact Kenneth Muse was then
thirteen or fourteen years old.

in New York to try for a job draw
ing Walt Disney's Mickey Mice.

Bv Lillian RIXEY

The largest field in any local
club championship went into the
second day of qualifying play to-
day at Columbia Country Club for
the l12 positions in the seven-fligaJ
tournament. One hundred and
thirty-two golfers were milling
about the links yesterday and to-
day in an attempt to wrestle the
crown from defending champion
Harvey johnson.
Low scorer yesterday was Mar
tin F. Mccarthy Of Columbia and
Beaver Dam, who shot 40-35-75,
two strokes under Johnson's II.
Still to be heard from in today's
qualifying play, however, were
Miller B. Stevenson, L. j. Goode,
Capt. F. L. Parks, Merrill Lord and
Major j. r. Francis, good golfers
all, and all capable of taking
medaliSt honors.
DR.. w. w. Bradshaw was the
golfing hero of yesterdays round
when he holed a four-iron shot on
the 345-yard second hole for an
eagle deuce. Worst hole was
carded by r. w. McChesney, who
took an eleven on No. 3, which is
a par hole, after chasing back
and forth across the fast green
five times.
Carter Field surprised himself
and his fellow golfers by carding
an IS to lead the sixth flight, a
score which would have placed
him well up the first flight # his
handicap had permitted him to
play there.
