prominent Stokes citizens es
pecially of the Republican faith
are grooming themselves for of

selves probably at an early date.

Fine Arts Club
Met Lately
The Fine Arts Club met in
I regular session Tuesday after
i' noon, Feb. 25, at the home of
i' Mrs. Edwin Taylor, with jMrs.

Pilot Mountain
Becoming Progressive
William Badgett, of Pilot Mtn.,
was a pleasant visitor here Tues
day. Bill is the versatile and
erstwhile editor of the Pilot Mt.
News—a brilliant meteor that
exploited the journalistic firma
ment for awhile last summer,
then disappeared into the opaque
ether because the hostile Pilot
Mtn. postmaster thought that
Pilot Mtn. didn't need a news
paper. He never would consen'
to let it through on reduced
rates.
Bill was also for a season the
bloated manufacturer of the
celebrated Horny Chewing Gum,
now also erstwhile, because evi
dently the Pilot postmaster
didn't believe Horny Chewing
Gurr wns an Indispensable
housrholc article.
And now the people of Pil. '
Mtn. have at last concluded th*
the Pilot Mountain postmaster
should also be erstwhile for
awhile.
