Occasionally I notice where some one
tells you of some old article and ask
you if you can beat it t«j trot it out.
I liave'something that I think I can
ask .them all to stand aside for, when
“it comes to age. I have a violin or
as it was railed when made “fiddle"
that is over 400 years old. It has
been handed down from generation lo
generation and it came into my pos
session through my grandfather. So
as they say, if they can-find something
older, trot it. out.
Yours very truly,

the largest droves of wild geese they
have ever seen flew over here last
| AVednesday going toward the north-
I east. AVe were under the impression
they were going in the wrong direc
tion. A’enus, can you tell us the sig
? nificanee of their flight?" Yes, they
were going where nature directed
them. They were going to attend to
r their business. They know their ius
ine-s better than we do. Another
‘ thing, there was no room in Florida
■ because that state is crowded so full
of human beings that there was no
, room for them there. That was the
. reason they were going in the oppo
’ site direction.
If you have anything queer that no

Thanksgiving day was very gloomy
, at Roberta, owing to the fact that

few hotirs later. He was carried to
, the Charlotte Sanatorium and all that
could be done for him was done. Death
! came about four o’clock that after
noon. Funeral services were held nt
the Roberta Alethodist Protestant
Church, conducted by Rev. J. T. Sisk,
assisted by Rev. X. Brittain. Howard
was a bright, industrious boy, loved
and admired by all who knew him.

ence and Glenn Little. Flower girls
were: Bonnie Linker, Irene Furr,

heart seemed pierced to the uttermost.

MIAMI IS DEMORALIZED BY
TIIK HEAVY BAIN FALL
Alxml 8 Foot of Precipitation Within
12 Hours Converts Business See
thm Into Lakes anti Pools.
Miami. Fla.. Nov. SO. —Miami,
drenched and dripping, resumed her
interrupted labors late today, utter
the mo«! devastating rainfall in her
history.
The downpour established a new
record for a single day's rainfall
help, with a precipitation of betw’een
11 and 12 inches, according to
I'nited States Weather Observer
Richard W. Gray here. This new
mark bettered the former record set
on October 24. 1024. when 9.70
inches of rain wan recorded.
Blanketed ' under this mnntle of
water. Miami and her satellite cities
and towns suspended business gener
ally today, litany ntercanti’e estab
lishments and offices in the down
tewn section opening their doors only
after the thoroughfare gave up their
burden of water and pedestrian
travel was possible.
Twelve-Hour Rain.
Covering an almost exact 12-hour
period, the rainfall which continued
unabated, with only Intermittent
lulls from Sunday midnight uuti
noon today, transformed greater
Miami into a series of minature
lakes and rivers. Principal avenues
of travel in both Miami and Miami
Beaeh were under from Severn
inches to thre and four feet ot wufer
in places, and hundreds of automo
biles nml motor vehicles, their ell
gines temporarily drowned by the
high water, were marooned for hours
along blocks at a stretch making
the highway impassible for more
fortunate conveyances.
Highway communication out of
the city in all directions was severed
by the water obstacle, and trains
were apparently the only suceessfu'
means of locomotive through the out
lying settlements flinging the city
proper. s'
Surburb Hard Hit.
Haileah. one of the mushroom
"ities of the Miami winterland. a
site of varied sporting attractions,
was comp.etc y out of touch witl
Miami for a time, both by highway
and telephone and probably suffers'’
more from the effects of the high
water than other neighboring com
muni ties.
City utilities in general were sev
orely paralyzed by the torrential
tropical downpour and lack of puwei
in the city lighting system threw a
pall of darkness over the city during
the early morning which crippled
ordinary activities in this immediate
section.
' “The close sign" was posted on
every hand and the stores and busi
] ness houses operating were in the
mirtority.and labored by candle light.
The crippling of lighting facilities
seriously handicapped local newspa
pers and a morning paper published
its usual stret edition early in the
afternoon while afternoon papers ap
• peared about dark. All augmented
electric company force succeeded in
l drying out generator coils to inaugU
i rate service in’a limited area by 4.30
■ p. m.
Stores Are Flooded.
: Water crept over street curbing in
numerous paces and flooded the
1 ground floors of not a few stories.
• Damage wiUiin Miami proper will
run up in the thousands of dollars
it is believed, although no effort has
1 been made to estimate the losses in
> cur rod.
Shipping in this port anti along •
this- strip of coast appeared unaf
fected by the rainfall and no reports
, were received ofany mishap to craft
in these waters. The storm was not
accompanied by more than ordinary
winds, and apparently was limited to
rain.
I A stationary storm, centering
1 south of the Florida peninsula, was
1 given asthe cause of' the unpre
’ cedented fall of rain by Observer
Grey, who announced that he was
convinced that Miami had received
the brunt of the tropical storm,
which he added, had undoubtedly
spent its force.
Corn-Cracker Says Holdup Imaginary.
Shelby Star.
Recently M. L. White, known over
the state as Cleveland's “Corn-Crack- j
er” philosopher, wrote a story regard- |
ing prohibition officers mistaking his
Cleveland Springs sulphur water for
liquor. Hereabouts, knowing- Corn
Craver's wit, the story was thought
to be imaginary, as Mr. White usually
puts over his ideas a la O Henry, but
over the stale several editors were
wont to indulge in remarks about
prohibition officers who knew not the
difference of sulphur water and fier
water. To clear up the situation,
The Star addressed inquiry to Corn
Cracker, who replied in this manner:
“Your polite letter and request duly
received, and permit me to* say {hat
the hold-up was altogether imaginary.
“As you know, the density of some
