FISHERMAN NABS FISH WITHOUT A MOUTH D’j’ever see a fish without a mouth? No kiddin’! Think it a fish yarn? No sir-ree! It’s the dying truth. Ask J. A. Loflin, Spencer, for par ticulars. He caught the freak fish re cently in the backwash of the Yad kin lake near Spencer To prove he was not fibbing, he brought the funny looking creature to town and displayed it on the streets of Spencer. Seeing was believing, although some of the fellows had to rub their eyes twice before they would believe. It was more than one foot long and weighed about two pounds and re sembled a bass with a well shaped head, had eyes but no mouth! How did it eat? Search me. Unless the monster took it in through the gills. It was such a novelty and such a freak—and so likely to be called a fish yarn—Mr. Loflin. has preserved the head of the fish in alcohol. For further reference, see Mr. Lof lin! MAYFLOWER BIDS REJECTED Washington, Aug. 5.—For the fifth time the navy rejected bids received for the former presidential yacht Mayflower.
