WHAT'S NEW
in TOWN
by Observer

Harper Jones baby carriage
goes on block Saturday.
The perambulator which was
used by the Jones family to wheel
Harper around as an infant, will
be sold at public auction Saturday
night for the benefit of refugee
children in Europe. The carriage
itself is finished in smart shade
of off-white, with fingertip con-
troll, free wheeling, full-vision body
by Fisher, four-wheel brakes and
adjustable back for the true lux
ury ride. The top has an extra
cover of oyster-white corduroy
which is stored in a slide panel
compartment in the floor of the
body. This is also a handy COM
partment for carrying sandwiches
and cold beverages.
The auction sale will be held on
Market Street Plaza at 7.3O on
Saturday night. Mr.. Rynear
Slaughter will be chief auctioneer,
assisted by Mr.. Nelson Everhart.
Many donations have already been
collected and placed in the empty
store just opposite Mrs. DeFord's 5
home.
Mr.. Slaughter will auction off a
sealed mystery box. Chances will
be 10 cents each for a guess as to
the contents of the box. Who ever
guesses correctly will receive $40.
If the box is unopened Mr.. Slaugh-
ter will redeem it for $40. This
will be clearly explained at the
auction.
Among other valuable pieces is
a fine old sofa from Belmont Hall.
1t is of the period of "Gone With
the Wind" and is in perfectly
good condition. Mrs. Clifton gave
a fine old walnut bedstead. A
grand big clock, which would be
useful in a business place or in a
farm kitchen or even a dairy, came
from Mrs. Tilghman. There's
Navajo rug, too, that is probably
hand-woven. The thoroughbred
Persian coon kitten should bring
a good price. It's bright yellow
with darker rings inherited from
its raccoon ancestors.
If you haven't already, dig that
white elephant out of your attic or
store room and call Jerry Speak
man at 1921 or Bill Lamb at 2s01.
One of them will call and pick it
up. But don't forget to attend the
sale, which, in case of rain, will be
held in the empty store on Com
merce Street where the things are
stored.
