Signs of Spring
A quick trip to the Pinehurst
Country Club Saturday, where
rows of sleek cars lined the park
ing area and all the available
greensward teemed with golfing
humanity, convinced us that
spring is here, or at least, on the
way.
Tennis courts at the club were
busy to6, and at the Race Track
nearby where trotters and pacers
are daily groomed for the Grand
Circuit, came the sound of “steed
threatening steed in high and
boastful neigh,” seeming to in
dicate a general springlike quick
ening of activity there.
"Every Mari"
Of all anecdotes on Lincoln,
which must run into the thou
sands, ouf favorite is still thfe
story of Honest Abe’s remarks to
a cabinet member who was sug
gesting someone to th President
for appointment to his cabinet.
“I don’t like the man’s face,” was
Lincoln’s excuse for refusing
the appointment.
“But Mr. President,” said the
petitioner, “the man isn’t respon
sible lor his lace!”
“Every man over 40,” said Lin
coln, “is responsible for his face.
Progress
Last week’s mail brought, us a
mighty unusual present—a rusty
nail. But all in the , name of pro
gress.
The square-tipped, hand-forged
piece of ironmongery was en-
enclosed in a letter from the
manager of the Crestmont Inn, a
summer hotel which sits firmly
dtop “Hurricane Hill” in Eagles
Mere, Pa. and commands a strik
ing view of the Lake of the
Eagles and of 12 counties (count
them—12) including and adjacent
to Sullivan.
The nail, said Manager Tingle
Dickerson, was one of the origi
nals used in the hotel’s construc
tion 61 years ago (they really
built them to stay in those days.
