POWER DEPARTMENT
By Howell Medford
Vacations and fishing have taken their toll
during the past month. Everyone reports a good
time and plenty of fish, judging from the number
of "tall tales” told by those returning.
Carl Cantrell says that he worked during his
vacation—he turned his attention to his farm.
Carl has pigs and cows and most everything to
compose a nice little farm. We must drop by and
visit him sometime.
At this writing, Lem Daniels and Crockett Mat
thews are on vacation. We hope that they have
a very good time, for they are deserving of the
best—maybe they will have some good stories for
us next month. They simply refused to give us a
hint as to what they were planning to do.
Virgil Galloway had a lot of fun on his va
cation. He had the pleasure (1) of cutting down
a bee-tree, and is planning on keeping bees as
a hobby. We wish him lots of luck, no stings,
and lots of honey.
We are happy to report that all of those on
our sick list lately are much improved. Mrs.
"Dutch” Bruner is home from the hospital, and
is recovering nicely.
Mrs. David Dixon and new baby are doing
fine, so we hear. David says that he feels the
responsibility already.
We are sorry to hear that one of our former
members, J. R. Nash, is seriously ill in Moore
General hospital. We wish him a speedy re
covery, and hope that he can be back with us
soon.
John Brown is building a big, new dairy barn
—we can see it just across the river from the
Boiler Room. Lots of luck Johnnie and plenty
of milk.
Bill Lowery says that if he valued his rabbits
by what they eat, they would be worth $12.00
each. Careful Billy—that’s lots of dough.
A few days ago we saw Clarence Allison’s three
lovely daughters up town. They are quite grown
now. Could it be Clarence is getting old?
We wonder where Pete Norwood and Morris
Ward are hiding. We haven’t seen or heard of
them lately. Could it be that Sam Kent lost
them on one of their mountain fishing trips?
Sam Kent sold Mr. Kassing some trout flies.
Could Mr. Kassing report on his luck? We feel
certain that he can, as the flies were of the
fancy type.
We are doing our best to paint up the old
boiler room during the Summer months. In a
few weeks we will be sporting a bright and shiny
department.
