Mildred: “No, one thousand,
one hundred and eleven.”
Grace: “Have you heard the
story about the city lady who was
planning to spend the summer
with a friend near here?” ,
Hilma: “No. What was it?”
Grace: “The lady wrote to her
friend and asked if she had a
bathtub. Her friend, who didn’t
have one, was very much disturb
ed and asked her husband what
to say in reply. Her husband said,
“Tell her the truth, my dear, tell
her she will have to take a bath
before she comes.”
In the Lucalian Hall one Mon
day evening, a lover was saying,
“Darling, darling, promise me you
will never let anyone come be
tween us.”
At that time. Miss McDowell
entered the room. After looking
at the couple, she exclaimed crit
ically, “Well, from the looks of
it, I don’t see how anyone can.”
“Does Roxie have any musical
education?”
“I should say so! Name any
record, and she can tell you what
is on the other side.”
Mary B.: “Guess what Juanita
Vick said yesterday.”
Polly C.: “What was it?”
Mary B.: “She said she wasn’t
going to get married until she
was twenty years of age.”
Polly; “But suppose she doesn’t
get the chance then?”
Mary; “Oh, she’ll stay twenty
until she does.”
Julia; “Have you heard the
latest definition of ‘steam’?”
Audrey: “No, what is it?”
Julia; “Mary Frances told Miss
Webster that it was water crazy
with the heat.”
Thelma: “Gee, but it’s a good
thing Elsie wasn’t out late last
night.”
Eva: “Why?”
Thelma: “Everything green got
killed by the frost.”
“Wilma never has her English
lessons prepared.”
“What does she work at?”
“Oh! She works at intervals.”
Rosabet (reading theme) : “The
magnolia trees are symbols of the
spirit of Chowan freshmen!”
Mildred (a sophomore, inter
rupting) ; “Which are ever
green.”
The average woman longs to find
The strong-willed, iron-jawed
man.
That she can bend and twist to
suit
Her every whim and plan;
While the average male is seeking
As his ultimate desire
A dainty sort of clinging vine
That can tend the furnace fire.
Billy; “I see that Fanny Foot
lights roped in old Moneybags in
approved fashion.”
Tom- “You mean she lassoed
him?”
Billy: “No, the lass sued him.”
Hee; “Ever see a worse fog
than this?”
Haw: “Yes, one.”
Hee; “Is that so, where?”

^oggy I really couldn’t tell whore
it was.”

9:30 at the home of the bride’s
parents on North Road street in
Elizabeth City. Rev. J. L. Gar
rick, pastor of the Blackwell Me
morial church, officiated. Imme
diately after the ceremony Mr.
and Mrs. Jackson left for a trip
through Western North Carolina.
The bride was attractively
gowned in a traveling suit of blue

cept the members of the imme

Miss Skinner is the attractive
and capable daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. L. E. Skinner. She was a
student of Chowan College in
1922-23, and for the past two
years has been with the “Daily

interesting places. Her address

Mrs. Herman H. Horne (Bessie
Worthington) of New Jersey, in
sending us her renewed subscrip
tion for the “Chowanian” says:
“You certainly have the ‘fond,
sweet memory faithful still’, and
the ‘diplomatic dollar’, which I
am enclosing for the CHOWAN
IAN is but a faint symbol of my
appreciation of and thanks for
the joyous thrill of your delight
ful visits.”
Mrs. Home enclosed for our
use in the CHOWANIAN some
letters written from Spain by her
daughter two years ago. We are
grateful for these letters, and
shall be glad to publish them as
We have space in our paper for

A. and T. College for Negroes,
State Institution situated in
Greensboro, is taking an active
part with the land grant colleges
of the 17 other southern states
in the movement to redirect the
attention of the Negroes to the
importance of landholding.
The gradual expansion of the
principal industries, which has
given a cheerful color to the busi
ness horizon since the beginning
of the year, wa^ continued last
week, although there was con
siderable irregularities elsewhere.
This “spotty” condition was due,
in part, to the interruption of the
past two weeks by holiday reces
ses, and partly to definite hesita
tion in some sections.
North Carolina is a larger con
sumer of commercial fertilizers
