returned to his home in Maryville, Tenn.
Dad is one of the old boys, and we hate
to see him leave.
Mr. Walter Ellis, of Room 36, has re
turned from Maryville, Tenn., where he
took his wife and family. They will
spend the winter in Tennessee.
Carbon Plant
Work has been started by Mr. E. F.
Smith in checking up our brick stock,
and getting the stock in such shape that
one can readily tell just how many dif
ferent shapes and sizes there are on
hand. Heretofore it was merely guess
work, and the reason we haven’t been
caught without certain brick when we
needed them is because we have been
lucky. The extension to the brick storage
building is nearing completion, and when
this is completed the work of sorting and
counting the brick on hand will be well
under way.
Fireclay has been a much discussed
and written about topic for the past
week. However, according to Mr. Coff
man, it will be here in the next day or
two. It is something that is not notice
able by its importance when there is
plenty on hand; but when Maryville fails
to fill our orders promptly, and we run
completely out, it causes considerable
discussion.
Mr. Jimmie Green is now working in
the Aluminum Plant, as Stock Clerk for
that department. Mr. Joe Lee is looking
after the work in the Carbon Plant Of
fice formerly performed by Mr. Green.
The many friends of Mr. J. C. Howell
will be glad to hear that he is recovering
rapidly from his recent illness.
Mr. J. D. Black has returned from a
short visit to his home, in Fayetteville,
N. C.
Messrs. Cecil and Jones, brickmasons,
have moved their families to Badin.

Main Office Notes
“Here comes the Bride; Here comes
the Groom,” etc. Yep! Aiken Moore
went and done it. At this writing,
Aiken is spending his honeymoon in
Little Switzerland, from whence Mr. and
Mrs. McNeeley DuBose have just re
turned. Some people said that the flu
would reappear this fall. We have it,
too; but it’s not the same kind of “flu”
we had last year. It’s more contagious
—we might call it “Matrimonial Flu,”
or something like that. We could men
tion a number of persons showing symp
toms, but rather not, since the editor of
this column is in quite a serious condi
tion himself, and therefore has nothing
to say on the subject.
Our Band went to Mount Gilead on
the tenth of October, to play for their
first Fair. They arrived about 11.00
a. m., and were put to work immediately.
The parade marched from the Mount
Gilead School to the Fair grounds, where
speeches were held until 12.00 o’clock.
The Band was then given a fairly good
lunch, after which they played continu
ously until about 2.30. Our handsome
French horn artist, Dunham (we’re not
telling tales—he couldn’t help it) struck
the fancy of the belle of Mount Gilead.
Just couldn’t take her eyes away from
him. Finally, Mr. Gomo (probably
afraid of losing a good musician) whis
pered to her that Blue-Eyed Dunham
was a married man. This did not seem
to make any difference to her, however.
Then Erb and McCullen were subjected
to the dreamy stares of some more of
Mount Gilead’s fair ones. Being young
and frivolous (and single), they were
BADIN bullet:
both intimately acquainted with all 1
girls in town in a short while, and tl
proceeded to introduce the rest of 1
Band. The Band was soon requested
hit it up again, and we did. Here
must call your attention to McCullen a
his piccolo, which is about the size
a five-cent stick of candy. He neai
swallowed it several times in the parai
but he didn’t seem to mind it until son
one in the crowd yelled “Look at th
feller playin’ a lead pencil.”
We played for the ball game, and th
started for Badin. Had a very nice ri
home, excepting that Bums lifted t
leg of his seat and put it on his ba
horn, and then sat on it. He must ha
been trying to press it; anyway it look'
like the Wreck of the Hesperus after I
got thru with it.
Mr. L. S. W’agner has been transferr*
to the Cost Department of our East S
Louis Plant. “Wag” has been the
stay of our baseball team the past sUi*
mer. Fast as a streak of lightning,
of our best batters, and the best
ever in the field—he certainly wiH **
hard to replace. We regret to see “Wa?
go, but wish him all the success
happiness possible. We expect to
that “W’ag” is on the St. Louis P'*"
team next summer.
Messrs. B. R. Fuller and L. G.
have both been to Massena to see ^
plant up there. They both report
interesting trips; but nary a drop
they bring back with them. ^
Miss Cora Williams went to
Gilead recently, to attend the ^
Moore wedding. No—not Dick
—some other chap.
Mr. J. I. Gale has left the Con'P^,]
to study dentistry at the Atlanta P®"
College.
