the "kicking est mule" in Stokes

C, Jan. 30, Bob Duncan, editor
of the Stokes Record, reported
last week. *
Duncan said a group of Stokss
men are taking up a collection
to send the mule to Washington

Walnut Cove men offered to back
him in a battle with a carnival
boa constrictor. The battle failed
to materialize when the snake
disappeared.

Truman. But their joffer 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.
