Paqe Foubteeh BADIN BULLETIN ■ wm nW’^a /!.' THE PLANT FROM THE to the Falls station first, the same after noon, and they were on their way back to Badin when they stopped by to see Narrows station. Since most of the single men at the I Narrows and at the Falls are from South j Carolina, Mr. Gomo has decided to send I them to Winthrop College, Rock Hill, S. C., for summer school—campus course, rather. This school has been highly recommended to ■ Mr. Gomo by Mr. Joe Lee and Mr. S. E. Killian. The chief operator, J. L. Adkins, is back on the job, after a couple of weeks of the “flu,” and the compliments that go with it. He really looks better and healthier than ever before. They must treat a fellow pretty nice at the Emer gency hospital. Mr. F. L. Gamble has been promoted from the switchboard to the generating floor, and Mr. V. 0. Moore has been promoted from oiler to switchboard operator. THE FALLS Well, Folks; you know how strong • the Tarheels are for celebrating! Take the Twentieth of May, for instance. That day of all the days belongs to the North Carolinians exclusively, all rights reserved, etc. But we (pardon, but I’ve been here so long that my heels do feel a little “Tarish”)—but I’m writing this about others; anyway, we have set aside another day for rejoicing, etc.—March 13. You see, we pick out unusual days like the thirteenth. Nothing like indi viduality, you know! But, to get back to the subject, we set aside this day as our day. Why? Well, they got a raise. I didn’t get in on it, because I didn’t have enough Tar on my heels. But, Folkfe;" we hiad a time. Shoemaker actually killed tt^seven-year-old rooster; Jones ordered an incubator; Mintz ‘'felt flush," and ordered an electric washing machine for Inez to play with. The “1‘ooi Shark” is thinking very seriously of buying “one of these here” high- priced oil stoves—no wood to cut, more pool to shoot! Messrs. Roberts and Craver bought a Ford load of aluminum; while Barnette is thinking, of buying another wrist watch. So, to keep from being the only man on the job not cele brating, I ordered fifty cents’ worth of Mr. Frazier’s ham—by telephone, too! “Old Man Aluminum” and his staff were down on an inspection trip the other day. One of the gentlemen had the nerve to ask why the hill (he only climbed it once) was not graded. One of the fellows said, “Tee hee—you know.” Mr. Charles Williams is back on the job, after having one of these “flu” vacations in Charlotte. Messrs. Mintz and Sutton, who were unlucky enough to catch the “flu,” and lucky to have it while on the “grave yard” shift, are thinking very seriously of returning to work. Don’t hurry. Boys; two more weeks yet. Mrs. L. B. Shoemaker, who has been quite ill with the “flu,” is improving daily. Well, Mr. Gomo is waiting to carry us to town; so we can’t keep him wait ing—may want him again. P. S.—Oh! yes, Mr. Beers’ words of comfort to some of the fellows the other day were, “He who laughs last, laughs best.” Wonder if the Badin Supply Company will accept that for flour? General Office Notes If you have a vegetable garden, see Nuebling. If you do not have a vege table garden, but want one, see Nuebling. If you want someone’s else garden, see Nuebling. If you never had a garden, don't ex pect to have one, and never want one, keep it a secret until you see Nuebling; then tell him about it. Tell him why, wherefor, and why not; he hasn’t any thing else to think about. Always con sider that; although he may know a good bit about a garden, you probably know more—so why not tell him about it. When it comes to writing up an ac count of a wedding for the society column o^ a big daily, we’re not there, but our failure to express our thoughts in flowery terms doesn’t indicate by any
