NEGRO is GOAT
FOR TWO SHARKS

LOUISBURG, Feb. 22.-W.H
- A 200-pound Negro cook
swore today she would make
mincemeat of a couple OF
sharks if she ever saw them
again.
The Negro, Van Perry, had
been swindled out of her life
savings-$4oO. Here's how:
Van had just cashed a small
check at q bank when a
strange couple appeared.
AS the woman slipped away,
the man asked in a low, con-
fidential voice: Did you see
me pick up that pocketbook?"
W%ide-eyed, Van replied d,
mo"
Eyes, you did. It's got ST.
100 in it, and I'll give you half
if you keep quiet. But you'll
have to give me $500 to prove
your good faith"
Van drew out her $500 and
turned it over to the man. He
set out after the woman who
had disappeared with the
find"
Van anxiously awaited their
return. She still is.

A small handkerchief.
You were about to tell me,
Janis . -"
"Oh yes" Janis said. well, I've
read the script and l think it has
some of the cutest conversation
and situations in it. I'm wild
about the part written for me-"
Goldie began squirming at this.
Il believe 'Wallflower" will get
a lot of laughs" Janis continued.
GOLDIE NO GOODIE-GOODIE
Goldie wriggled out of the ward
robe lady's hand and fell to the
floor with a crash of about 1000
of the intensity of a falling pin
on a six-inch thick carpet.
Janis stopped talking.
Goldie lay there q%uivering in the
light floor draft.
"Goldie," the wardrob lady
said, SIS angry with Janis"
Why" said Janis.
"She is angry" the wardrobe
lady said, because Janis talks
about nothing but the script. Just
now Goldie asked me to ask Janis
Just what she thought she would
be in this picture without her"
Good little bathing suits, you
see, like good little children,
should be seen and not heard. But
I'm afraid Goldie AT will never be
considered good. She can scarcely
be seen when Janis is with her
and she'll be heard about plenty
when the film is released.

The School Board favors the adop-

Shows

Speaking of SHOWS, it seems we
haven't had a real old timer for a
number of years. On January 20,
1895, it started showing and showed
almost continuously up to February
l. The major storm lasted for about
four days, but it showed off and on
until the first of February.
Roads were drifted solid across and
as high as the fences. Railroads were
blocked and the trains were unable
to go.
The funeral of Mrs. Mary King was
held up for three or four days. There
were no snow plows to open the
roads and they finally had to cut
the fences and go across fields to
the Zion cemetery near Cearfoss.
In 1899 there was another blizzard
equal to that one in '95. 1t is said
there were 33 inches of snow on the
level. Schools were dismissed at
noon so the pupils could get home
before the drifts got too high.
At four in the evening Western
Maryland passenger train left Ha-
gerstown for Baltimore and only
made it as far as Rocky Ridge. The
passengers stayed in the train until
the coal gave out and they could no
longer keep the train warm.
The people then went to the near
est farm house, marching single file
and each holding on to the person
in front so no one would be lost.
They stayed at the farm house, eat
ing every thing the man had. The
following day they drew straws to
see who would ride horseback across
the fields and bring back provisions.
There were a lot of passengers for
the evening train, but after failing
to get two engines out of the round
house due to the hugh drifts of snow,
the conductor had to tell the people
the train would not be able to leave
that night For about three days
the mail kept piling up in the mail
car.
Mr.. William Maugans, then a mail
clerk on the Western Maryland
train, tells how he covered the other
clerk with sacks and then ran up and
down the car in order to keep warm.

They had to shovel snow all day and
the Maugansville and Hagerstown
road drifted shut three times.
1t was hard shoveling because the
banks piled so high they couldn't
throw anymore snow. Several men
got on top of the snow banks and
kept shoveling it back to make room
for more. While this was being done
hot coffee was served at intervals to
keep the men warm.
