Just when the swarm of bees arrived in the summer of 1938 members of the family were un- .-ihle to say, hut the honey mak ing insects were discovered going in and out a small hole in the siding on the hack porch. The oc cupants of the house paid little attention to the heed and receiv ed but few stings during the whole year.

Ten six-inch hoards were re moved from the side of the house and there were the bees and a- hoiit 10 pounds of honey between the siding and ceiling. The comb had been fastened by the bees be tween an upright piece of fram ing and a brace. The workmen, who knew by experience how to handle the situation, removed the honey and placed the bees in a standard brood chamber to continue their work. t*lro Picked Up As Snspeeto Ingle Wanted For- ‘ Attempted Holdup State highway patrolman Cai^ lyle Ihgle learned Friday tkst two men he arrested as suspeeto Sunday and held for a charge of failure to have operators’ He-' ense'were wanted by G-men and' by officers of Tennessee and Georgia. ■While cruising the higsway*^' In Wilkes Shnday afternoon, Jidy 23, he stopped a car occupied by two men who gave their name* i Joe Vance and James C.
