AROUND
the COUNTY
BY BISHOP BATES. d. D.

FARMING: We understand that
some wheat has been cut, but
very little, as most of it is still
pretty green. There is more wheat
TO still be cut than is cut. Good
many farmers will let it get good
and ripe and combine the crop.
Reports are the corn crop up to
this week was sort of backward,
but many think with the nice
rains and warm weather, the corn
should perk up. There has been
several high wind storms that
have caused considerable dam
age.
Several REA high lines have
been reported ripped down by
trees and limbs falling on the
! wires.
Our sheriff, the best, has a crop
of corn in the back yard of the
Jail. We wonder if he will get an
corn-on-the-cob-off of it. The last
storm laid the sheriff's corn flat,
but he thinks it will snap out of
it.
JUST THINKING: There had
seemed to be more people. inter-
ested in the Louis Walcott fight
than there were in the Republi-
can convention show that was
held at Philadelphia. The Louis
hackers had plenty of takers, but
Dewey and Louis both, have
everything in the bag. 1t is said
a certain big-business man in
Caldwell made enough off the
Louis-Walcott fight to buy an
other good car.
SPECIAL MEETING: Chair
man Bishop Bethel Bates an
nounces there will be a special
meeting of all FFPA and local
fox chasers the first Tuesday in
August, which falls on, August 3.
AT this meeting it is planned to
have some speakers of promin-
ence. FFPA members in adjoin-
ing counties are requested to at
tend this meeting SO that a closer
cooperation of all members can
be enjoyed, with the prospects of
many counties uniting into one
solid association.
In these days of fast living, one
must just go little farther than
to ask by written request or by
word sent by some one. Today
we must be on the ground and dc
the inviting in person. There will
be meeting of the local "Noble
County Fox Chasers Association
in the courthouse, July 6, the first
Tuesday of each month being the
meeting date.
At this meeting it is hoped tc
get the association to adopt by
laws and become a legal associa-
ton. All members are asked to be
present at this meeting and have
a voice in the kind of bylaws the
association shall operate under
1t is to your interest and this in
cludes and means you.
OFFICE: The office of "Christ's s
Church" of the world will be for
mally opened by the head of the
church, the church ecclesia, Arch
bishop Bethel Bates, D. D., in the
IOOF building, room IA, July /.
The bishop can be reached day
or night by calling phone number
167, as there will be an extension
phone in room IA. Anyone wish
ing church services held in their
homes, such as shut-ins, call the
Bishop Bates, who will arrange
for such services to be held. :
Christ's church is wherever His
people assemble. Christ will be in
their midst. Room IA is directly
opposite the REA office, which is
room IL, you may use either the
front or rear entrance.
COAL SOLD: The Archer farm
just west of Whigville, where the
FFPA field trials were held in
April, has sold their coal under
the land to the Hannahs Coal Co.
Archer personally told this re-
porter he sold only the coal under
the land, and the land is still his
after the coal has been removed.
THE CHASE: Dynamite Dan
and Flying Heels tied scores with
! Ranger Bay and Skeeter Fault
less on Skillet handle ridge
grounds last Friday night. Sew
eral other dogs were worthy of
honorable mention, but space
will not permit this. Next Satur-
day this tie will be rerun at the
Green Briar mob at Byesville.
FFPA Chairman Bishop Bates
has been asked to act as judge at
this meeting from this section,
and Byesville will choose a judge.
These two will then select a third
member of the judging staff.
Anyone with good dogs are in
vited to participate. There are
two classes of dogs in Caldwell
first class and just dogs. Glib
