WHY NOT NEWS
There were a number of Christmas
visitors here, among them were Rev.
and Mrs. C. L. Spencer and children,
of Kernersville; Dr. and Mrs. J. W.
Austin and children and Mr. F. R.
Auman, of High Point; Mr. and Mrs.
L. E. Cagle, Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Ca
gle and family, of Greensboro; Mr.
and Mrs. A. B. Trotrdon, of Star; Mr.

In many instances the homely
phrase is true, "A prophet is not
without honor save in his own coun
try", but this is not true cf the pot
ters of Randolph county. Ia all the
leading papers recently have appear- i
ed various articles on the subject ma
ny of them containing true facts and
many proving unintentionally mis
leading to travelers trying to reach
the potter shops.
There are four shops in the county,
or almost on the line. Possibly the
most interesting of the shops, cer
tainly the most widely discussed is
that of Jacques Busbee, a native of
Raleigh, N. C, and now of New York
City. Mr. Busbee has called his place
"Jugtown" and thereby raising quite
an argument as to the location. Ma
ny people are now discussing the
whereabouts of this "Jugtown'', and
some even claiming it to be as far
away as Lincoln county. it seems
there are numerous Jugtowns, but
is
made up chiefly of his potter shop
and two or three country houses, is
straight down the old plank road to
a sign "Five miles to Hemp". Here
a road turns to the left leading to
Needham's Grove schoolhouse, and
this is almost in sight of "Jugtown".
Jugtown may also be reached via of
Erect and going on good road to
Needham's Grove, there taking a
fairly good country road.
Probably here it would not be
amiss to give Mr. Busbee a word of
praise which is his due, for he is an
artist, as well as a most charming
gentleman. A few weeks ago it was
the writers pleasure to have Mr. Bus
bee for a guest for a day, and while
he does not thrust his art upon his
friends, he is mildly enthusiastic and
talks very interestingly of his work,
but when asked far a little sketch for
