means our lack of feeling in that regard.
One of the boys took unto himself a
wife the other day. The wedding was
a “dinger," and you’ll have to ask the
groom what the bride looked like, and
ask her what she wore. Anyway, they
had a big honeymoon in the western
part of the State, and have now come
back to settle down and “live happily
I ever after.” This is all about Mr. M.
! B. Stewai't and his new wife, who a
few weeks ago was Miss Mary Evelyn
Johnson, of Jamestown, N. C. They’ll
give you the glad hand if you call on
them at No. 31 Willow Street. May joy
be with ’em.
The Drafting Room quarlet has been
materially strengthened by the advent
of Mr. F. F. Cooper and Mr. G. F. Gar-
rity, who have recently arrived to pur
sue the elusive planimeter and ruling
pen. Their rendition of “How Dry I
• Am” is a thing to please the ear and
! delight the senses, and one which would
make the most inveterate toper sit up
. and take notice.
Mr. F. F. Cooper hailed into town the
i other day from Mobile, Ala., where he
had previously been employed in the
United States Engineering Corps. Mr.
Cooper is now working in the drafting
; room, on property and topogriaphy sur-
\, vey work.
From the far-famed city of corkscrew
streets comes our Bostonian Irishman,
Mr. G. F. Garrity. Mr. Garrity spent
several years in the service of his coun
try, and is now spending his leisure time
in the drafting room, for the force of
which he is one of our more recent
acquisitions.
The third new arrival in the drafting
room is Mr. H. W. Mansfipld, who .pame
to us from Newpor^ R. I., where he
held a position in the Public Works De
partment of the Navy, subsequent to his
honorable discharge from Uncle Sam’s
navy, in the service of which he spent
the duration of the war.
Mr. A. B. Martin made another of his
semi-monthly visits to Gold Hill last
week-end. Mr. Martin is either a very
dutiful Son,;.or a very regular visitor
to the source’of his blue stationery corre
spondence, which has ’most every other
effect except making our friend Martin
blue.
Mr. C. E. Gooch, who was formerly
in the law firm of Smith & Gooch, of
Albemarle, is a new employee in the
General Office. Mr. Gooch will have
charge of the property department, lot
sales, etc.
Mr. A. C. Mauney, head of the Land
scape Gardening in Badin for some time
past, will leave the employ of the Com
pany to go into private business in
Salisbury.
Miss Jessie Kendall has returned from
her home, near Ansonville, where she
had been smitten by a “flu” germ. We
are glad to have her back with us again.
Mr. L. C. Russell is the proud father
of a brand-new draftsman, L. C. the 3d,
who recently arrived. Both Mrs. Rus
sell and the baby are doing finely.

Notes from Main Office
Part of the victorious “World’s Series
Team” is still here, and on that portion,
plus some valuable acquisitions in the
way of territory, we are basing our
hopes for 1920.
The General Office part of our team
has seceded, and aligned itself with Ed.
Smith, Bill Stokes, J. W. Frazier, and
others. Wagner, the fleet-footed lead-
off man, is not with us. Mirch Fox,
whose specialty was being caught off
first base, has departed. Rees, premier
catcher of the league, has the same
throwing arm that spoiled the hopes of
would-be stealers, and the same trick
that averaged .400 for the season. York
is here to repeat the work that blasted
the hopes of the “Instruction” team in
thel finals. His particular stunt this
year is to drop them over leftfield fence.
Harry Smith is expecting his sixteenth
successful year around second and short
stop. Harry wields the stick danger
ously, too, being on or near the top of
the league batsmen for 1919. Richards,
who doesn’t care where he plays, whose
