Bill Jordan disclaims "any truth
whatsoever" in a rumor which has
recently been going the rounds that
their company is going out of bust
ness. Claud Wilkes was a visit
or in the office last Saturday. He was
just home from the Kentucky derby
but said he expects to return.
Norman Weathersby went fishing
this week, his wife said, when the
writer was tracking down a rumor
that he and w. o. Thompson had
bought the building the Lexington
Implement company is in. Mr..
Thompson, when asked, referred the
writer to Mr.. Weathersby and Mrs.
Weathersby when called said the
mayor was out of town. . Luke e.
lison, in charge of the Mule business,
could not be secured by telephone
Wednesday afternoon to give account
of sales. 1t was judged that the
trades were going too strong for the
telephone to be answered . The
band should be in Memphis now
having a good time. They're to be
back home tomorrow night H.
w. Watson said the States Rights
gathering at Jackson Monday was
quite something to attend. From all
accounts, every man and every mans
dog were there. Noticed the Com
mercial Appeal wrote a favorable
editorial in Wednesdays issue. Quite
a confab of Lexingtonians az well
as persons from all yer the county
attended -. ! Noticed that Judge R.
T. Jarvis of Bonneville has come out
against that veteran congressman,
John E. Rankin President Ras
Branch of Holmes Junior college had
q heart attack Saturday night about
8 at his home and was taken to the
Baptist hospital in Jackson on Sun
day morning where he has been in
an oxygen tent since (this, Wednes-
day morning.. According to reports
from Mr.. Almond Wednesday, his
condition, though slightly improved,
remains critical. Graduation exer-
cises have been turned over to a
school official, to be held as schedul-
ed ... Walter Sharp drew a good
likeness in the Commercial Appeal
Wednesday. Notice the baseball
game Sunday got a bit of space, too
Girl Scout organizations seem
to be doing all right, with members
of the troops taking enough interest
to come in the Advertiser office and
tell us about the meetings. Other
groups could take a lesson from them
49,. Has anyone heard from the soft
ball organization supposed to have
been held Friday night? 80. w. L.
Ellis was breezing all around town
in a new green Dodge last Friday,
right after a new shipment of five
Plymouths and Dodges had come in
-. Music under the sponsorship of
Mrs. r. w. Gulledge is in the news
these days, what with all the reci-
tails that are being given. A piano
recital was presented at the PTA
meeting Tuesday, and n was set
for Wednesday at 5 p. m. by the
eighth graders -. The high school
lost a baseball game 10 to 3 with
Canton Tuesday. Guess it's too near
the end of school and too much go
ing on for our players to get interest
ed in baseball! 49,. Someone was
raving about Lexington's being such
a dry, dull place. Well, isn't there
something that could be done? Even
a train through town would make
a little noise And someone else
was going on about there not being
any literary clubs in town. If anyone
is interested in a Shakespeare, or an
art, or camera club (Which isn't IL
terary), or a pen women's club or
historical society-or a SPANISH
club, why not tell someone else, and
then get up a half-dozen or so mem
bers? That's all it would take to start
-. Saints Industrial school put on
a good parade Saturday. 1t reached
the Square about l o'clock, and the
crowds. were so thick we could
hardly see out our door; however,
Mrs. Guess snapped a picture 49,.
The Negro schools have quite a bit
on their schedule next week. This
includes a senior class night tonight,
an operetta Monday night, and an
oratorical Wednesday night ....
When there's nothing else to talk
about, talk about the weather-an
old saying. The weather this week
has been varied, in spite of some
sunshine every day. Every day there
have been some clouds, and no two
clouds have been alike-which is
just another testimonial to the
worlds having some plan to it after
all. In other words, when life is not
the same, monotony cannot exist,
and when monotony does not exist,
then everything is happy. A person
in general sees what he's looking for,
and if he watches for Natures
breaks in m%onotony, he'll very like
ly find them $50. Chancery court is
to convene Monday morning.
