her son, Paul M. Mullins, station
ed in Yokohoma, Japan, which in
part read as follows:
Hello Nom:

the guys grabbed me and tore off
my corporal's stripes I didn't
hardly know what was going on,
l had to set everybody up. I guess

the outfit. Everyone was glad to
see me make it, but I guess I was
the happiest of ALL"
Sgt. Mullins enlisted in the
army in January, 1949, and train

sent overseas in November, 1949,
and was in Japan for about eight
months. Then in Aug, 1851, he

How Will The Election Go?

estimates are to the effect that
between 700 and 1000 such votes
will be cast this year Political
corporals have been busy, going
long distances in many cases, to
round up the absent vote How
ever, it appears that the former
citizens are not much interested
in voting in Dickinson County
this year,
AS usual charges and counter
charges of fraud are being made.
Democrats whisper fearfully
among themselves of barrel of
Republican money that will be
opened on election day. Republic
cans charge J, C, Stanley and
w c.. Mullins, Democratic mem
bers of the electoral board with
manipulating the absent vote.
Walter Carly, Republican men,
Der of the board, filed charges
last week before Judge Smith
that he had been refused access
to the records of the board, Five
citizens, all identified as Republi
cans, entered suit against the
entire board last week charging
various and sundry fraudulent
practices Judge Smith indicated
that he would hear the cases on
Wednesday, Oct, 80. In these
suits S. H Sutherland represents
the plaintiffs, and M. M Long
represents the board members.

CLINTWOOD LOSES
LAST GAME OF
SEASON
By CLAUDE SHORT

In Skull Orchard last Friday
night, the mighty Green Wave
lost a heartbreaker. The battle
was tight and bitter from the
kickoff unil the final whistle 1t
is not stretching the blanket too
far to say that a Clintwood fan
would have given a right arm to
win this one, All the dope point
ed our way before the game and
not until the last minute of the
fourth quarter did we concede de
feat.
Coeburn went "all OUT to take
this one, using every trick in the
bag, and a few that weren't in
the books. Time and again, Clint
wood lads threatened to pass the
Blue knights, only to have bad
luck overtake them. AS for the de
feat, we make no excuses. Our
boys are sportsmen who can
smile and say, well, we lost a
hard one, but We'll get them the
next time" We give special
cheers for our boys who wore the
Green and White for the last
time. Especially we regret that
their last high school game had
to be a defeat. These lads have
for the past four years given their
best. These are boys who have
won undying popularity among
our people. We say farewell to
Wayne Kiser, Elmer Younce, Bud
dy Rowlett, Ival Stanley, Amos
Mooney, Edward Kelly, Bonnie
Fleming, Esau Brown, and Char
ley Neel
Now that the football season is
over, we should turn to another
sport. Basketball cannot begin I'm
til December l. But in the mean
time, to keep our hand in we
shall range hither and yon to pick
up stories that will interest peo-
pie. This county probably has
characters. whose equals cannot
be found in the whole wide world.
We hope to spin some yarns as
big as the Great Wall of China is
long There are more than we
have yet heard Of, and by the
grace of Charlie Deloach, we
shall give you the whole works.

How will the election come out?
That question is on the minds
of a good many people in the
county this week. Interest is
high, of course, among the candi
dates and their immediate fol-
lowers who expect to profit by
appointments or the various pick
ings available. The amateur poll
ticians who play the game for
the fun of it are also worked up.
But the great mass of the people
are taking it quietly and will
cheerfully turn their minds else
where after the avalanche of
ballots next Tuesday
Predictions as to the outcome
are not hard to get if the inquir-
er knoys whom to consult. Most
Of the Democratic politicos will,
with their fingers crossed, claim
that the straight ticket will go
though Republicans stoutly as
sert that they are sure to win
with at least two of their candi-
dates.
AS usual in county elections,
the effect of the absent and al
legedly absent vote is expected to
weigh heavily in the results, For
the first time In the history Of
county elections, Republicans, it
is said, by the score have applied
to vote under the provisions of
the absent voters law, Unofficial

Things!
By E. f. B.

by e. H. o'
Here is your weather schedule
as announced and guaranteed by
Ebert Reed:
Of SHOWS we shall endure %
before spring comes again.
From one extreme to another
the weather will vary during
the winter. Much dampness will
afflict us during the coming
months.
Indian summer will be with
ur during the latter part of No
vember.
Fernoy Hughes tells of insult
heaped on injury by some Of those
who manipulate the pasteboards
for gain.
Fernoy, when working in the
mines some years ago, ran an &C.
count from payday to payday
at local grocery. After receiving
his pay on one occasion, he start
ed to settle accounts with the
merchant. Hailed by gang of
poker players, he could not resist
their Establishments and sat down
with them for hand or two Be
fore he knew what had hit him,
he realized that all his money had
gone up the spout.
Then he thought of the grocer
who had trusted him, and great
gobs of gloom settled all around.
He trudged homeward, and there
he paced the floor, wondering
how he could face his creditor.
Just then, the gang that had fleec
ed him passed merrily by. One
of them shouted, Hes a big fat
robin, but we picked him clean!'
Fernoy hasn't played any poker
since.
This is about as good spot as
any to report that Tradin' Tom
Mullins has been busy while the
cat was loose at Lick Fork He
sold one As caliber pistol for $50
in cold cash. His profit was ex-
actly 800 per cent, as he had only
SIS tied up in the gun.
Having checked and verified
our information, we pass on a bit
of political news that well could
shake the local political struc-
lures to their foundations. Marve
Phillips has switched his political
affiliations and announces his in-
tention to vote straight Repub-
lican ticket next week. Observa-
ton over a period Of years has
led him to the painful conclusion
that those who call themselves
Democrats have departed from
the ancient faith of democracy as
explained to him by his grand
father. Since Marve has quite a
swing as boss of the South Ward,
we may expect an upset when
that precinct is heard from next
Tuesday or Wednesday. Since
he has wide influence also among
the Sons of Rest, that group may
follow his political leadership.
This column appears to be a
good place in which to break
serious rumor. The grapevine
huns with the information that
dope Is seeping into Clintwood
and that the habit is taking hold
In our fair city. One can hear
that the teen-agers know where

know the three passwords for it.
