We wondered why Dr. Reeser’s phone
didn’t answer the other day, and so
investigated. Doc was busy with screw
drivers and such and did a nice job of
repair. Anyone needing phone repairs
is urged to contact Doc, but we never
did find out how it broke in the first place.
Mary had a little lamb, and his name
was Robert. Gosh, how did we remem-
ber that rhyme? Oh, yes! Robert was
heard to mention he visited Wilson,
N. C., and her name was Mary. That
fellow sure gets around!
I hear the fellows enjoy looking at
that picture D. C. Williams is showing
and how about that 2-passenger ham
mock?
I’ve often heard about the Curb Mar
ket, but didn’t expect to see it in Spray.

??? right on the walk through the park
ing lot.

must have had a tough golf game the
other day as they forgot to come back
in time to play softball Vvith the Meth
odist team, and so the team had to for
feit the game.
Dorothy Grogan was married to
Weldon Reynolds Saturday at the King
Memorial Baptist Church. No further
details at present, but I’ll bet she made
a pretty bride.
Velma Redmon Newman and Ethel
Redman Ray celebrated their joint 8th
wedding anniversary with a quiet (their
word) dinner at Martinsville. Congratu
lations to both of you.

Mary Hundley is out sick at this writ
ing, and we all hope she recovers quickly.
We heard that the Rayon Mill report
er, Mildred Saunders, is shopping for a

it was so much trouble getting the bump
she has on her present car she wants
one equipped with a dent and save her
self the trouble of putting one in her
self.
Della Hawkins has reversed the usual
