SPECTACLES
By NANCY KENNICKELL
A lot of odd plants grow in
Alleghany county’s fertile soil
and to prove it you have only
to pay a visit to the sheriff’s of
fice in the courthouse. Hanging
on the wall you will see a sweet
potato which is four feet in
length. It was grown by Monroe
Caudill, veteran farmer in the
Cherry Lane section, who de
clared he’d never seen one like
it. Suggest you don’t plant that
variety if you’re planning to get
a meal out of one potato, for
although four feet long, it’s
slimness would not add much
to your diet.
Letter From Pa.
A letter from one of the News
subscribers in Delta, Fennsyl-1
vania, was warmly received last1
week for Mrs. Boyd ' Higgins,
who in sending in her renewal,
stated that she had recently re
turned from an eight-thousand
mile tour through Western states
and that upon 'ner return she
read every copy of the News,
despite the fact that some of them i
were four weeks old. She also ]
said that she had found the News
in two homes which she visited,
one at the home of H. I. Rich-1
ardson in Chicago, and the other
at the home of Mrs. Harl Cheek
in Michigan. “Everyone seems to
enjoy the News,” she stated and.
naturally we’re pleased to learn
just how far th/e New^s does
reach.
North Winds
Rain, sunshine or snow! Take
your choice, for November has!
ushered in some real winter I
weather. The inceassant rains of!
last week end as well as the cool j
winds make the people of this
section know that winter is not
far away.
Tip To Hunters
There must be a story behind
the story, but it had been hint
ed that Eugene Higgins and
Kemp Duncan are authorities on:
hunting., If , you’re an amateur,
suggest you contact one of them

O’possum Shows Off
Hallowe’en came and went and
at the schools it was a hilarious |
time for the youth. As far as
we could learn there were few
pranks carried out except a
shock of corn now and then sud- j
denly grew in highways. Some
fences too were moved. We do
not favor barricades on High
ways at anytime, because they
sometimes cause dangerous ac
cidents.
The most unusual prank was
the fact that an o’possum went
to the theatre. He evidently
tried to show off as he was found
in the ticket window cake the
next morning. Alas the poor
animal was dead. Whether he
was shocked by what he saw or
suffocated it is not konwn; but
passers-by were relieved it
was an o’possum instead of a
skunk!
