II SPARTA 1 Spectacles By Mrs. Ed M. Anderson How good is your eyesigmr We have been doing without these spectacles for some time, but some of our readers, the B. & T. Drug Store gang, Ruth, J. M. and Ernest ganged up on us so to speak, and said, “Let’s have some more specs,” so here we go again! Getting The Limit! Some one told us that they be lieved that the squirrels read this paper. Perhaps they are not really smart enough to read, but somehow, they must have gotten the word that some several ex perts would be gunning for them Monday so they stayed in. Even such successful hunters as Amos Wagoner, failed to bag one! Dr. C. A. Thompon and ,Wayne Wad dell, seemed .to have been slight ' ly more successful, but as far as we could learn; no hunters had to worry about exceeding the lim it of five! Chinquapin Time. We received our first chinqua pins of the season from Mickey Randolph the other day and since then, more and more have been coming our way. Incidentally Mickey and Gail are frequent visitors in this office. If you want any errands run they are good at that too! In The Harness Again C. R. Roe, who is principal at Piney Creek this year, says it seems natural to be in school work again. After having served as principal of Sparta high school for so many years, he tried to get away. fro=i the work and did for a time, but finally found there was no escape. And in his case it is well that he could not. What a pity it would be to let such a good school man out of the Profession, when many more like him are needed. On The Fense. Little Ben Reeves came visi ting over to West Jefferson the other day and climbed over and under the yard fence. He did not always know just where he was going, but with the guiding hand of his grandfather, J. W. Gam bill, he usually arrived there in the end. He is one young man about town who has little to say, but is as active as the day is long. Uliare is no connection be tween these statistics, here but we heard of another young man a Twin Oaks News ,. Mr. and Mrs. Lester Faulkes, left Saturday for their home to Newman Grovp, Nebr., after spending three weeks with rel atives and friends in this coun ty. Mr. Faulkes was born and raised in .this county, but has made his home in Nebr. for the past 39 years. Curtis Hofton, Galax, Va., is here doing some excavating with his heavy dirt moving machinery.

Mr. and Mrs. Walter McMillan, Mr. and Mrs. Hoyt Petty, spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Grady , Irwin. Miss Sue McGrady will enter V. S. T. C. at Boone, Thursday. Jr. Gentry made a business trip o Raleigh, Monday. Bower Watson, who is employ rouncP town, who by nature is rather bashful and usually has little to say, but really made a quick connection. He. thought he wds talking to an Elkin telephone operator and was telling her how big, bold and handsome he whs, when suddenly he discovered that the party on the other end of the line was none other than the par ty ,he had been calling, a sedate married business woman! Pants and Passes. Football is in the spotlight a gain and so are Sparta’s own Yel low Jackets. They played their first game of the season under lights at North Wilkesboro last Friday. After getting over the jit ters in the early stages of the game our boys really outplayed their opponents. While the Mountain Lions from Wilkes defeated the Yellow Jackets 26-18, it was a clodfe game. “What our boys lack ed i^ pounds they made up in spirit and spunk,” Dr. T. R. Bur giss said. There was a good crowd of people as well as insects, attracted by the lights. And while they were rather bold to attempt it, the gnats swarmed over both the Lions and Yellow Jackets One player remarked that everytime he opened his mouth he got a taste of them.” That only made me spitting mad, tho,” he de clared. The. cool weather, which is on the way, should soon take care of such minor handicaps. Sees North Carolina In Holiday m Governor R. Gregg Cherry looks over a copy of the October issue of Holiday, which features North Carolina as one of the Nation’s outstanding vacation areas. The magazine’s cover, a 10,000-word story, and more than 100 photographs, most of them in color, depict the State’s at tractions for visitors.
