My wife has put in SO much
time in the woods picking
huckleberries she has got ticks
in her ears" Anyway there
must be a nice crop of berries
this year. Too bad that adj
vancing years has forced Uncle
Nabe Ward to retire. He was
a first class picker
The first curings Of tobacco
are looking pretty good. And
a lot of it is being cured these
days.
Mrs. Layton Leonard Of
Route l, Ash, returned from
Savannah last week where she
visited friends. Mrs. Leonard
intends joining Mr.. Leonard in
st. Augustine, Fla. soon. They
will be there several months.
Mr.. E. D. Boswell of Route
3. Tabor City, found an unusu-
al looking leaf of tobacco in
his field recently. The leaf was
formed somewhat like an okra
or holly leaf. There is no evil
dence that the leaf had been
broken or disfigured to cause
the unusual formation.
Mr.. and Mrs. Horace Strick-
land and family, also Mrs.
Tucker Coleman. all of the
Gapway section, visited Mr..
and Mrs. Roy Fowler in Aber-
deem, N. c. on June 10. Mrs.
Fowler is the former Miss
Alease Carmichael of Route .,
Tabor City.
Miss Maude Butler and Mrs.
R. H. SuggS of Route 3. Tabor
City, left for a Florida vacation
on June Is. They expect to
spend about two weeks.
Mrs. J. H. Cox OF the Sandy
Plains community is laid up
with a bad left ankle. On June
II Mrs. Cox was working a
mong the plants in her yard
when she became aware Of
snake nearby. Well. that did it.
When she moved of course. she
moved fast and in the confu-
sion she made an awkward
step.
Mr.. LuCian p. Suggs Of &c
Dulah section Is in a serious
condition At Community Hos
pital. LoriS at this writing. Mr..
Suggs suffered a heart attack
on June l6.
Mr.. John Coleman o. e.,
Gapway section has goa.
that walks on his front cce..
The goat is about six month
old and is apparently in goo,
health. Mr.. Coleman saws h,
cannot recall any accident or
sickness that could have caus-
ed the goat to forget his hind
feet. The animal gets around
very we'll but drops % his
knees to eat.
Accidents are never surrv
or rather should never be re-
garded as funny. However
sometimes an accident so far
out of the ordinary happens
that il does cause a lauch. Such
one came to light several
days ago in the Tabor CITY
area when a young man biund-
cred into a newly sharpcncd
ak, barefoot, and lost a toe
That calls to mind an incident
of several years ago when two
young brothers were choppinp
wood. One OF them felt real
adventurous and stuck a big
toe up on the chop block say
ing-I dare you to chop it
off" Well the other boy dared.
And the adventurous lad is
walking around "toeless."
Crops in Columbus. Bruns-
wick. and Horny. are looking
good. Several farmers last
week said that the recent rains
had caused the truck and to-
bacco crops to take new
growth and that they had post
poned barning tobacco. The
tomato and cucumbers over a.
round Longwood and Thomas
boro in Brunswick look especi-
ally good. Maybe we are going
to have an outstanding year
Anyway who would say we
couldn't use one2
