Cyrus Falls spoke modestly of 25

on the back when we get s

Congressman Bulwlnkle asked
that it be announced that he had' absolutely
nothing to do with the ae

that It was left up to Post Offlc*

that he was happy to have been ol
service to citizens of his neart?
home tow-n._
Before he left Major Bulwinkh
told a good Joke on himself. He said
that upon his arrival In town h*

them how long they had lived in
Kings Mountain, and they replied a!
their lives but had never heard o!
anyone by the name of Hulwipkei.
ThU, reminded him of another jok
