Duncan said a group of Stokes
men are taking up a collection
to send the mule to Washington

Mobey Dick first got into the

Walnut Cove men offered to back
him in a battle with a carnival
boa constrictor. The battle failed
to materialize when the snake
disappeared.
Stokes County's two news
papers back President Truinan

the Washington Post in their
"Crow Banquet" for President
Truman. But their offer faded
when they learned the President
declined to attend the banquet.
The newspaper editors offered
to show Stokes County crows to
be served at the banquet to all
who attended except President
Truman. The President was to
eat turkey.
