Winston Mill Has
Extra Watchman
Born to Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Trotter, Jr., a son, on Sunday
night, August 12th, at the City
Memorial Hospital. The young
“offspring’s” main burden in life
is to carry the name Henry Lee
Trotter, HI. The child weighed
in at seven pounds, 6 1-4 oz. If
his body grows according to the
size of his feet he will be an All-
American Tackle some day.
Henry will have a hard time
paying for the linoleum that he
wore out in the corridors of the
City Hospital.
After leaving the hospital
Henry tried to sleep, but to no
avail, so he decided to go to the
mill and help the watchman keep
everything under control for the
rest of the night.
Mrs. Poindexter (calling Carl at
the office); “Hello, who is this?”
Carl (recognizing her voice):
“The smartest man in the world.”
Mrs. P.: “Pardon me, I was call
ing my husband.”

you a fish tale for us, Jimmy?
Jene Phillips says he has plenty
of sweet potatoes for himself and
some to spare. He said his wife
went to dig some for dinner the
other day and that thirty-seven
bushels rolled out of one hole
before she could cover it up. It
sounds too good to be true, Jene.
We are very sorry to hear that
Pauline Morrison had a flat tire
on her return trip from Patrick
Springs. But nevertheless, Polly,
it is better to have flat tires than
have warts.
Little Charlie Gough is very
