CHARLES F. GOLD, Commissioner of insurance. (Seal i Fire and/or Casualty abstract. Brady's BLARNEY Br A Brady CtIM J. r. Do you ever hear of something that makes you feel good all over? It happened to me the other day. And It came at a time when I really needed something to cheer me up. Seems it always works out j that way, >< sn't it. A man i his wife and their four children, ranging in age from eight months to 11 years, were stranded in Franklin Tuesday of last week. Their old model automobile broke down. A quarter was all the man had j to his name. They were hungry, very hungry. , In fact, the whole family had shared only a loaf of bread and a lone can of chicken noodle soup for breakfast. They'd been eating like that for several days. But let's back up a bit. for this incident is just part of the story. Several months ago. the family's home burned near Hickory. It burned while the husband was at the hospital visiting his wife. They lost everything. Relatives in Louisiana urged them to come out there and start anew, so they went west. Recently, friends in Hickory w turret hop w ioo* jr /r . . . City Radio Shop, Franklin, N. C., will make a hit with you for quick, expert TV serv ice and repair.

C. wrote that they'd rebuilt their burned home, why don't you come ' back home now, they asked. So. the family piled into their old car and headed home. They had just enough money to n\ake the trip. But you know how old cars be have. They arrived In Franklin. Hie universal joint came out of the car. The father's 25 cents couldn't fix it. And then one of those "Macon County Miracles" took place right before their eyes. Gene Pannell. who'll deny in no uncertain terms that he has a heart as big as all outdoors, gave the family a universal joint and even installed it. Touched by their plight. Gene told others about them. Sheriff j J. Harry Thomas and Dr. G. R. McSween helped with the "mlr- . acle" with some cash to see the | family on to Hickory. , Chief of Police Sid Carter, checking the family's story to make sure they weren't profession al vagrants, was touched. At the Desoto Trail Restaurant, the officer outlined the family's troubles for the owner. Hall Calla han. and in a matter of minutes the family was sittii>g in the restaurant before heaping plates of food: probably the first real meal they'd had in days. 'I wasn't even eating," Chief Carter declares, "but I don't know when I enjoyed a meal more." "And they were past the point of gratitude. They Just cried." jpb , Tommy Jenkins and "Red" Stewart had Doug Simpson hop ping down at Nantahala Oil Com pany one day last week. ! Doug and Jimmy Stewart. "Red's" boy, brought in a big rattlesnake they got while on a delivery trip. When Doug wasn't around. Tommy and "Red" slipped the rattler out of its box and hid it in a barrel. Upon Doug's return, they set a very convincing stpge to "search" for the missing rattler, which had "escaped" in his ab sence. Tommy reports Doug was "all eyes" every time he went in the oil house. Then, Doug brushed against the | barrel where the rattler was hid den. And 'ol Brer Rattler started his terrifying singing. Tommy swears you could have placed a coffee cup on Doug's shirt tail as he high-tailed it out side. jpb I've heard all my life about floating crap games. And, to be truthful. I've floated with Several. But until this week I'd never heard of a floating checker gakne. There is one going on, however, around the courthouse.
