May 17, 1936 CHATHAM BLANKETEER Page Three ELKIN MILL ■T -I* SCOURING AND CAR BONIZING It’s a tie; so far as to which is the biggest liar:—A politician or a seed catalogue. Mr. Alex Chatham attended the funeral of Mrs, George Bailey of Hickory, formerly of Elkin, last Tuesday. Mr. S. E. Newman spent last Saturday in High Point on busi ness. He: “Why does a woman say she’s been shopping when she hasn’t bought a thing.” She: “Why does a man say he’s been fishing when he hasn’t caught a thing.” Mr. and Mrs. Graham Newman spent the week-end in Trap Hill Visiting relatives. Charles Hanes spent the week end in Winston-Salem. Walter Barnett spent a lonely week-end eating warmed over bread. However, he did perk up and went over near Virginia to kill snakes. When bigger and better pota toes are grown John Swaim will grow them. He also deals in tur nip greens. Worth Polger is one of the best “India Wool” sackers at the Old Mill. He says “Watch My Dust, Big Boy.” Charles Hanes has a new play mate on a certain third floor and he don’t ride the elevator when he makes his rounds. The Elkin Valley choir held their prayer meeting Wednesday night at Little Richmond Baptist church. 'The services were con ducted by G. W. Hayes. The next meeting will be held next Sunday at Porter Dodson’s. A very fine service is anticipated. We welcome Graham Newman back with us. We hope he can re- ttiain down here, since he likes it better. Worth Tulbert went to North Wilkesboro last Saturday on bus iness. Fred King visited his brother in Rockford last Sunday. J. T. Yarboro is sleeping with his shoes on lately. We wonder why? George Sparks says he just can’t wait until circus comes to town. fied Halsey visited his parents Mouth-of-Wilson, Virginia last 'veek-end. Pred Hambright spent last ^’eek-end in Charlotte and Co lumbia, S. C. I’ll bet he didn’t Piay monopoly all the time he was gone. "Talkin’ about one’s trouble is lagging a lake for the moon the w^ater—Remember Miner- generation plants the another sits in their shade.” Oid Quaker, Hemric and oniery” Lyons have been add ed to the force down here; car penter force; patching cat holes. Hast Laffoon has a little “pooch” for sale. Anybody that wants a sausage dog, it can be had for just one dollar. Walt Hemric and Charles Hanes have combined their of fices with Red Halsey as book keeper. Lee Dudley, has taken over Zo- da Payne’s apartment on the 2nd floor. POWER PLANT We welcome Furman Rogers, more commonly known as “Buck Rogers” to the boys down here, to our gang at the Power Plant. We do not know whether the fam ous “Buck” brought his space ship along or not, but he is de termined to have one anyway. We saw him trying to hammer a coal car into shape for one, or maybe he was trying to get the coal out of it. Anyhow we are glad to have you with us, Fur man. Mr. Everette Holbrook is back with us again after a few weeks’ “rest” which cost him his appen dix. Everette says he can’t see that there is any need for any body to have an appendix. He is getting along better without his. We see a certain unmarried young man in our midst with a lot of books on “how not to make love” and such, we are wondering just how he is making out. You know we reminded him that this was Leap Year. Now we are won dering who is going to leap, and when, why, and of course where. Walt and Jake have sold their motor on the Chatham Homespun Boat. Now the question before the house is where to get another one. And how. Mr. Mont Castevens out of pure love for us, or maybe because he couldn’t possibly use them, gave us a gallon of peanuts to plant. Never even shelled them either. Just think of it. Well anyway we are busy planting them, and al most to the end of the first row, when we notice our pet dog “Cricket” right on our heels, but it was some time before we found that the peanuts were following us too, right on our heels, in the dog. We didn’t know that dogs ate peanuts. That night the pea nuts came up. We didn’t know peanuts would make a dog sick either. WOOL DEPARTMENT Mr. and Mrs. James Burcham spent Saturday in Winston-Salem shopping. Dr. C. A. McAlpine of Wmston- Salem spent the week-end with Mr. and Mrs. Morgan Hanks on Hospital Road. We are glad to have Leona Darnell) Fat Laffoon and Haiold Here’s Proof! Not unlike the drunk, upon walking into a resort hotel and seeing: an unusually large fish mounted upon the wall. Turning to one of the other guests, he re- trarked, “whoever caught that fish is a d liar,” will be the most of the Blanketeer readers when they see this fish that Mont Castevens caught last week in the Yadkin River. Pictures don’t lie, but liars can make pictures. You guess how much the fish weighs, if you would like to weigh it, the scales are right there on the fish. Lewis back to work after several days absence. Anyone wishing to buy Beagle hounds see Hasten Laffoon on Elk Spur St. We are sorry to report the ill ness of Mrs. John Stout, who is in the Chatham Memorial Hospi tal. We wish for her a speedy re covery. Mrs. Shine Rumple and daugh ter, Elizabeth, spent May 5th in Winston-Salem, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Martin on For syth Avenue. For several days we noticed Le ona Darnell working on the sort ing table with one hand, think ing maybe she had injured the ether one we examined it and found she was wearing an 18 ka rat diamond ring and was hold ing her left hand up so every one could see the “sparkler.” We don’t know, how “soon.” But, guess it will be June. SHOP Mr. Roy Chipman has been ab sent from the shop for the last few days, attending court at Dob son. Mrs. Walter Lyons of Long Beach, California, who has been spending some time with her sis ter, Mrs. Carl DeBorde, of North Elkin, has returned to her home. She left Monday by train, taking the train at Statesville for the trip. Mr. Lee Neaves spent the week end at Crumpler, N. C., visiting his father there. Lee reports that his father is recovering from his illness, which is news welcomed with interest to all of Mr. Neaves many friends here. Curtis Couch is building a new home near the home of his father out at Pleasant Hill community. Curtis is no mean hand at car pentry either. He hopes to occu py the new home at an early date. BURLING DEPARTMENT Misses Mable, Ruth and Erline Sparks, Fannie and Addie Myers spent last Sunday the guests of Miss Mozelle Freeman. Mr. and Mrs. Pat Osborne, Mr. and Mrs. Lewyer Pennell, Mr. and Mrs. Lee Rogers and Mr. and Mrs. Carson Freeman enjoyed a chick en stew last Saturday night. How about it Edith and Ray?

Mr. and Mrs. Gene Long of Longtown spent Sunday the guests of Mrs. Ruth Teague. Gladys and Vallie Cheeks spent Sunday in Winston-Salem. Miss Marjorie Reavis of Lone Hickory spent the week-end the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Hope Brown. Mr. and Mrs. Basil McCorkle of New Castle, Ind., and Fae Reavis visited friends near Courtney, Sunday. How’s South Carolina, Daisy? That accounts for the big smile lately. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Holbrook moved to their new home in the country Saturday. They formerly lived with Mr. and Mrs. Hope Brown in Jonesville. What about the boy friend from Winston Husie? We hope it isn’t serious. SPINNING AND CARDING We certainly will be glad when the election is over in Jonesville. Hugh Salmons spent the week end with his mother in Winston- Salem. Lowell Smithey spent the week end the guest of his parents in North Wilkesboro. Jim Young attended the polo game in Winston-Salem, April 26th.
