JOHN HENRY QUITS
ROADHOUSE QUICK,
BUT SNAGS PROFIT
John Henry Axley Jr. was strangely
missing from his usual haunts a
few Jays back. Dr. Elmer Holt, who
was looking for some one he couhi
trim pi lying pool finally learned that
John Henry had gone to Hiwassee.
When the truck-line magnate returned
he announced that he had
bought a mad-house. Mock stock and
barrel especially barrel. The build
mg alone, he said, had cost $2..">00 to
erect less than two years ago. He g^t
building and grounds both for 51.000,
of which only $100 was cash.
The former owner, it seemed, had f
a little trouble with the prohibition I
men. Hence the sacrifice price.
John Henry bought first, and in- '
vestiguted aftorwir.ls. Then he huv-J
tied back to Murphy.
The next day he announced that he |
was "out of the road house business." j

recording his purchase?he sold out
to Harold llatchett, rising young restaurant
man and the only person in [
these parts who can work 24 hours a
day and come up smiling.
John Henry got his $10(1 hack,
plus another $100?and Harold owes
him $100 more
