Mr. Conway Promoted.
The Times is pleased to note the
promotion of Mr. Jas. C. Conway,
who has for s6me time filled the pos
ition of Baggage Master on the
Louisburg Railroad. He has been
promoted to a similar position on the
Main line, and his run will be from
Portsmouth to Monroe on the fast
night trains '33 and 34. Jimmie, as
he is familiarly known by his friends,
is a very capable and faithful young
man, and his Lost of friends will be
glad to learn of his promotion.
From Privett.
There is a storv told on one of our
neighbors somewhat in this fashion.
"A certain man the same one whr
some time ago raised the cross-eyed
chickens had made a vow that if lie
should become able to buy himself a
new buggv that his wife should he the
rirst one to get in it. So a few davs
ago he went to Louisburg and bought
a new buggy and to keep his word
after hitching the horse to the buggy
he got on the horse's back and rode
home. Upon arriving home he called
to his wife and had her get in."
There is a widower in our vicinity
who is very much of a ladysrnan,
and a few days ago he went calling
on his best girl and carried his banjo
of which he is a very clever master,
and while there among the pieces be
played was "Take me down to the
longer branch." This seemed to im
press him so much that rhen he
started home and had come to Moc
casin creek he left his path and sub
stituted the creek bank. After
walking about too miles down the
creek, however, he decided he wanted
to cross and hereupon plunged in,
when he was nabbed by the thumb
by a turtle. He then became con
scious and began to repfnt.

once with moderate lacoe tarad
into the office of the one dailv pyj
of the town, taking it perhaps for the
sample room two doom beyond. It
was the noon hour, and the girl re

her the man entered into the follow
