mirth and levity and no sooner than

at tjie Auten-Wolfe Motor Company
' than frolicsome times ensued.
Some one dashed a bucket of
. water down the back of Peuse Furr,
and things started. Finally, Mr.

bucket and made to pour the same
upon Nat and Peuse. Forthwith,

while Auten • did about face and

dim and his limbs waxed weary
while the fleetness of the w’ater
bearer increased- At last to save
himself from a drenching of the ice

into the show room of the Albemarle
Hudson Company, slamming the
door shut behind him. Mr. Shinault

FROM KIRK’S HOME RUN
Fayetteville Series Evened When For
mer Colonial Gets Homer; Score
4-3.
Fayetteville, June 25.—A home run
by Bob JKirk, former Colonial outfield
er, and now a fly chaser in the right
garden for the Kannapolis club, gave
the boys from the Towel City a 4-3
decision over the Highlanders here
yesterday afternoon. The victory
evened the series between the two
clubs.
Kirk’s blow came in the tenth in
ning with two men down and the
bases clear, the line drive bounced
past the centerfielder and going so far
away that the runner reached home
base before the ball could be retrieved.
Kirk was the hitting star of the
day, the homer, one double, two sin
gles, and a sacrifice being his lot.
Kannapolis acquired a three run lead
in the third frame, but Thomas was
driven from the box by the Highland
ers in the same inning, and with Fer
guson in the box, the score was tied
up in the fifth. Greason’s single,
two passes and an infield out being
responsible forth score.
Johnny Johnson, former Carolina
shortstop, played an excellent game
for Kannapolis, and in the tenth frame,
broke up a probable rally by a beau
tiful catch which he turned into a
double play. Spectacular fielding by
both teams was the order of the day.

work being done by the building an l
loans in the various communities of
the state. These organizations are
strong factors in the building of
homes, and homes furnish the foun
dation stone for a happy and con
tented people; so the building and
loans are doing a constructive work
that is being done in no better way
by any agency yet devised.
Concord is strong on building and
loans and in that city well managed
associations have contributed largely
to the upbuilding of the city and the
home life. This is an association we
would like to see come to Salisbury
for a convention. It would be an in
spiration and help in many way6.
We need it.
