by Mr. Harris today. Hope they
like it there.
June 9th. Our girl’s base ball
team won their first game today.
Granny’s mad because she had
to go home at nine o’clock this

mon and no mon, no fun.”
June 10th. Just another day.
Lelia Swaim has a blistered back,
“too much exposure.”
June 11th. Today is pay day.
Need anything more be said?
June 14th. Blue Monday. Sev
eral show signs of that Monday

From all we hear (which is plen
ty) she had a wonderful time.
June 15th. Our dear Skippy is
in the hospital this morning, but
we sincerely hope it won’t be for
long. Our much loved Superin

We extend our sympathy to Mr.

death of his wife.
Mrs. Robert Cox of the Iver-
ness Mill section has returned to

moved into their new home on
Ogbum Ave., near Ogburn sta
tion. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bell

recently occupied by Mr. and Mrs.
DeHart on West End Blv’d.
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Everhadt
were among the four hundred
present at the Everhart reunion.
Emma said there was plenty of
fried chicken and everything good
to eat. We imagine Emma got
her part.
W. C. Jerome, Jr., has recently
come to work in the Traffic Of
fice.
Hobson Shermer is spending
his vacation in New York. Can’t
•NMILL I
you just see him putting on the
dog? Say don’t forget where you
are from, Hop.
Cleo says she ate some mighty
good cherries and strawberries out
at Conrad Petree’s house last
Sunday. That sure is a good way
to win her, Conrad.
There seems to be a drawing
attraction in the Traffic Office
lately. I’m afraid we will have to
get Sheriff Hanks to keep the
single girls away.
We know that the Twins have
one good fan. Crystal Bell just
can’t miss a game.
Nancy White said that she did
not like to be patted on the back,
Cecil. By the way, how was that
seek on the jaw?
Mr. and Mrs. Harold Lewis have
moved from Elkin to their new
home on Academy St. We wel
come Harold to the Traffic Dept.
NIGHT FORCE
Just in case Hugh Ladd wants
to borrow some money, the Caro
lina Finance Co. is a good place to
get it. All they want is your sig
nature.
Naomi wonders why M. Brown
or Louis Jessop, our big minded
machinists, don’t fix Henry Stone-
man’s machine, it pulls off entire
ly too many serials.
“Freck” Tuttle has been pro
moted to the kitchen. How’s ev
erything in the kitchen “Freck.”
The night folks are getting old
er, Dorothy Norman and Polly
Gentry had a birthday this week.
Anyone wishing to have their
fortunes read see Naomi and Pol
ly in their wigwam between sev
en thirty and eight o’clock.
Tucky is in a bad fix, his girl
lives in Elkin. Anyone going to
Elkin for a week-end, please noti
fy Lester Salmon.
Mr. Cothern, machinist from
the Elkin mill, spent sometime
with us this week.
Mrs. Carrol Allen from Raleigh
is visiting Mr. R. Gl Gentry this
week.
Tommy Bates was late one day
this week. He had an alibi, said
he had been swimming. Alright,
alright, Tommy.
Polly Gentry lost the moon and
had to get someone to help her
find it. Polly, what’s wrong with
you?
We are so glad to have the new
electric (refrigeration system
whereby we will have good drink
ing water.
A certain young man in the
kitchen has entirely too many
dates.
E. M. Livengood has a new hat.
It seems to be an imported mod
el.
Mr. C. W. Comer has been
Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!
Guess who? What a pitiful look
ing creature. Is he from ’Possum
Hollow, or where? Your guess is as
good as ours, but we will drop
you a hint. Look around the Wins
ton Mil! and see if you can’t find
a monkey wrench handler that
this picture resembles.
transferred from night duty to the
day force. Good luck Mr. Comer.
Several of the second shift boys
have gone on the third shift.
CLOTH DEPT.
Believe it or not. Summer is
here and its time for wash dress
es, shorts, slacks and vacations.
Here’s’ hoping that it will mean
news also.
Wonder what Jewel Long is go
ing to do since June has arrived.
Don’t let Mattie fool you when
she says her mother is working
here because it really looks like
her kid sister. She will probably
change when she has pulled over
as many lots as Mattie has.
“Elsie Dear,” why the sad eye,
did someone step on your lip?
Better keep it up.
I think the girls on the third
floor will have to start working
on the second floor, as the second
floor girls seem to like our floor
much better. Maybe it is the peo
ple up here though.
“Babe,” maybe Arthur Russell
can tell you how to put on a few
pounds since he has had some
experience.
Gee, Sweet Pea has been hav
ing a time since we have so many
girls, I think he changes every
day. But we think he prefers- a
certain brunette.
Listen here Mr. Irl, you have
enough women down there. In
fact more than you can tare of.
So why look for more or are you
trying to improve your force.
Dunn, you had better catch
your father’s cows before “Babe”
pitches another game. She cer
tainly has a bad curve.
“Curly Top Ring” will soon
have a neck like a giraffe if he
doesn’t stop looking at all the new
girls that pass and some of the
old ones too. We do think the one
you look at most is the right one.
Berry, have you been a good
boy since Catherine has been out?
I heard a little birdie say that
you hadn’t. I’d be ashamed.
Gee, Mr. Forrest, why don’t you
give “Red” a chance? She is cer
tainly a good prospect.
We all wonder why Hattie is so
quarrelsome lately? Is it the
weather?
Annie Pearl, why don’t you
help little Josephine out? You
know you have lots of influence
or do you care too?
Honest Eunice you should not
condemn Ford lots so much. They
are really good for the soul some
times, but I know they are a little
hard on your religion.
I wish someone would help out
the reporter up in the front be
cause I know you have lots of
things to happen with Jim, For
rest and Lonnie coming and go
ing. It would help lots for some
one to report anything you hear
foolish, funny, pathetic, sad, trips,
romances, marriages, deaths so
ciety articles, etc.
Buck, I want to thank you for
helping out while the reporter
was out sick.
Laurie Lee, what is this I hear
