News And Gossip From Our Various Departments

First on our list will be the
story of that old bird that delivers
all these little bundles from heav
en. He has been flying around now
for nearly a month, but finally
found a place to land and deliver
that precious bundle of cargo at
the home of Charles Peevy, who
works on No. 6 paper machine. He
left an eight pound boy by the
name of Charles Donald. Mother
and son are Q. K., the father still
in a daze.
Luther King claims that Spur
geon Queen, back-tender on No. 8
paper ma.chine, has one of the fin
est ’coon dogs in this part of the
country! Spurgeon took Luther
and Oscar Barrett out with him one
night and caught six ’coons, three
’possums and ran a bear until day
light. So the next day he came to
work on grave-yard and during the
night the dog left home. The only
trace they could find of him was
from a logger who said he had
seen such a dog, that night, with
a lantern around his neck and a
hatchet in his mouth, heading to
ward Horse Pasture with a broken
heart.
Clarence “Chief” White said he
had a telephone installed and any
time would be glad to hear from
any of the boys.
The Bob Pierce and Charles
Peevy combination on the No. 6
paper machine was sad this past
week of grave-yard as Peevy was
on his vacation and Bob did not
have his guiding influence. Olin
Edney, who was pinch-hitting for
Charles tells me that many times
he saw Bob wiping those silent
tears from his eyes—(that flowed
at times like rain drops).
Bill Fetzer claims if football
season will last a few more weeks
he will really have a bank roll
by Christmas.
That great bear hunter, Wesley
Ballard came in the plant a few
days ago with a large bear foot
and the boys crowded around him
to hear the story of it. According
to Estus “Red” Thomas, this is it
he killed it that day and cut the
foot off and brought it in to prove
to his buddies that he killed it.
Upon examining the foot at close
range you could detect a foul odor
coming from it. Right away Tom
Stroup performed an autopsy. Re
suits or findings after investiga
tion—bear dead three weeks—
price of foot two dollars and a
half.
So long.
