DYE HOUSE
With a weeks splendid vacation
at Myrtle Beach at an end we
find Sam Atkinson back on the
job, with new vim, vigor and vi-
taliky (excuse us Pop Eye). It
comes in mighty handy too with
all that moving and straighten
ing up to do in occupying the new
Dye House Lab, which by the
way is just about occupied.
You have no doubt heard the
story of the “Bull in the China
Shop,” but we will lay you two to
one that you haven’t heard the
story of the “Bull in Mr. Alex
Chatham’s Pasture.” Especially
the one that ran one of the Dye
House boys up a tree, and kept
him there all afternoon, till after
dark, or at least that is the story
this boy told his wife when he
arrived home way after his usual
time of arrival. But they tell us
that the bull did actually keep
the poor fellow up the tree until
it looked as though “tree sitting”
had come back into style again.
For further details on this story
you will have to ask Mr. Carrico,
he can tell you about it first
hand, he was there when it hap
pened.

ed relatives in Lexington during

—then you can borrow four new
wheels.
