All of his six children were present

For no other reason than to de
termine whether Ernest E. Ramsey

Miss Lois K. Dickson, enrolled as a
student in the Teacher Training Dept.
of Ashe County, located at . Grassy
Creek, N. C, admits another Birth
day. We are officially informed that

tute the Ashe County T. T. Class

a sporting proposition we would bet
slight odds that Miss Dickson is now
23 years of aget Why 23? For the
following sound reason: All we know
is that the minimum age is 15 and
the maximum 30, among these stu
dents. The average of these two ex
tremes is 22.5. But it is not quite
safe to cut this back to 22, for the
Ernie but we are going to look this
up and make a story of it in our pa
per one year from this time. We
do not meet with Dube as often as
we would enjoy these occasions. He
has a well oiled mentality and lights
the way ahead of him with flashes of
real wit! He has a homely vernacu
lar equivalent for every Latin phrase
in Johnnie McElroy's legal diction
ary. If you should say '"Ad Nause

out on a limb for once, he would
probably come right back and tell
you that he feels a little sick him

chicken yard. So long, Dube! If

church for Thanksgiving service.
Rev. Charlie Elkins, pastor of ; the
Free Will Baptist church at Marsh

ually large and appreciative congre
gation. Rev. Mr. Elkins began by
giving a brief account of his call to
preach; Although a man of nearly
middle age, the preacher said-that
his name, ould not read a- word, jn
any language. In a pea patch, he
had a distinct call to preach. Since
that time he has read the Bible from
Genesis to Revelation and quotes pas
sages of scripture readily. He con
siders his learning to read miracu
lous. He gave the origin of Thanks
giving as a national observance and
preached a very impressive sermon.
An offering was taken to be divided
between the four churches to be sent
to their respective orphanages.
