A Memory Test
Kiurf, N. C.
Feb. 20, 19U9.
Editor Danbury Reporter,
Deal' Sir:
More than fifty years ago, 1
had the pleasure of visiting the
Reporter office. There I saw con
spiciously posted in large bold
type, a business motto, or slogan,
consisting of six lines. The
thought suggested by it made a
deep impression on my boyish
mind. I remember every word of
them yet.
I wonder how many, if any,
can now quote that motto verba
tim. Suppose you try a memory
test, and see how many remem
ber that old slogan of your edi
tor of many years gone by. I
believe |t would be Interesting.
If you do not remember it your
self, I will be pleased to furnish
it t« von.
1:. iltporter and I havo this
much i common. We both be
g*" in inir lon .he same year.
Ye t-uly.

SHOT BY MARSHALL MIT- j
CHELL, BOTH COLORED
SLAYER IS IN JAIL TO i
AWAIT COURT.
Albert Mitchell, colored, aged !
about 23, was fatally shot Satar- •
day about 2 p. m., by Marshal |
Mitchell, colored, aged about 40. 1
at the lattei's ho M in "London",
the colored section of Walnut
Cove.
The tragedy grew out of a
pool game which the two men
were playing at a store nearby. I
They indulged in a fist fight af- 1
, ter which Marshall left and went ,
home. Albert followed him i ,
short time later, entering Mar-)
; shall s house aftor being forbid-1
den by Marshal] to come in. Mar-!
shall seized a double-barrell gun, |
j it is alleged, firing first into the '
i ceiling. When Albert continued
f !
to advance, Marshall fired the
j ]
second time, the charge almost 1
i ]
1 severing the leg of Albert, who i
fell in the hall or near the door !
leading into the small porch.
Pending the arrival of an ambu
j lance, witnesses say the wounded
i man lay in the porch for more
than two hours, almost bleeding
to death. He wafe taken to a
Winston - Salem hospital and
shortly died.
After the shooting Marshall
went to Deputy Sheriff Carl Rav
and surrendered himself, being
• brought by the officer to jail at
, Danbury.
What Sort of Season
Will 1939 Be?
Jerry Baker, prognosticator .ji
renown, living near Flat Shoal,
was in town Tuesday. Jerry is a
student of the stars, and the
planets that float in the ether.
Jerry says the moons tell the
story of the seasons, and that lie
is keeping tab closely. He de
clares that when you see two
yallcr moons with the horn list
ing toward the south, you may
be assured of a good crop year.
But and i f there are white moons,
with one point of the crescent
shifting north—look out for a
dry year.
Consequently, he declares, the
last two moons have been, one
yaller and the other white. He ia
waiting now for the color of the
next mocn and its position In the
sky.
In the mean dry year of 1925,
when crops withered and the peo
ple mourned, Jerry says he pre
dicted just what followed.
Jerry & * eon of the late John
William Baker, who was a noted
weather prophet of the moun
tain. He takes after his daddy.
Luxn Booth, the Meadows wea

Baker view-point, basing his dec

Stokes Lady Wins a
Handsome Chevrolet
Prize With Her Sub-
Conscious Mind.
Mrs. Julia Hairston of Walnut i
Cove recently won a beautiful j
Chevrolet car by suggesting a:i
appropriate word ' n a contest
conducted by the Newton Com-;
pany for a fitting name for a
leading product. The lucky nam. 1
suggested by Mrs. Hairston was
"Old Dominion".
Mrs. Hairston, with pardonable
pride in explaining how she won,
cays that she lay down one night |
with the problem bothering her |
a little before sleep. She has al
ways been a close student of
psychology, and so, when she
dropped off into slumber, her sub
conscious mind, which never
i
( sleeps, got busy and suggested to
her on awaking in the morning,
the prize-winning name—"Old
Dominion."
' Mrs. Hairston's hosts of friends
i rejok" wjih her in her success,
j
hope some time to take a
I ride with her in the superb ma
! chine which she now owns.
