ROBERT QUILLEN SELLS NEWSPAPER FOR DOLUAR Frist Responsible Party That Put I p the Cash Go Plant and Good Will. Greonvil!;-, S. 0.. Dec- 23.—The Fountain Inn Tribune, owned and operated by .Robert Quillen, national ly known huiborist. was sold this morning to W. W. Kellefc, of Foun tain Inn, for sl. ' Sale of the plant followed the announcement by Quillen that his publishers' duties took much of his time from his writing and that he would sell the plant to the first re sponsible person who offered him $1 for it when he opened for business this woruiug. Quillen said tlvs afternoon that he had been besieged with offers, many of them coming from distant (mints. Telegraph and telephone inquires came into Fountain Inu with in creasing frequency as the morning wore on. The new owner will continue pub lication Os the paper wtih the present force with the exception of the edi tor. who proposes to devote his time to the writing of paragraphs aud special sea tures. The current issue bore the follow ing announcement across the front 'page In headline letters: “The Tribune 4s' for sale, loejk, stock and barrel, subscription list, printskop, equipment, paper stock and goodwill. The price is one dollar, no more, no less. “This is no joke, but it is a bar gain. “The first responsible man who planks down one dollar gets it. The business will be turned over to him January Ist." The Tribune was first published by Mr. Quillen January 1, 1911. He came to Fountain Inn from the State of Washington, and the sheet lie edit ed here was the vehicle of his first expression of genius in South Caro lina. The place was then a little town, whose population was given in round numbers at between 500 aud 1,000. but the unusual little weekly newspaper, with Robert Quillen as its editor, has had an eventful his tory. Mr. Quillen in 1922 sold The ’trib une to Melvine Sipe, postmaster. He reassumed editorship March 1. 1925.

According to Dr. Olin, Soper, be cause of his advanced age, probably must spend his remaining years- on teh Drake farm. There is nothing that can be done to connteikiet his dreaded physical characteristic ! that makes him a constant carrier of ty phoid germs. IN AND ABOUT THE CITY CONCORD AUTHOR HAH STORY IN MAGAZINE Mrs.'Mary FHx Kidd Writes Story Which Is Featured in "Girlhood Days” Periodical. Mrs. Mary Frix Kidd, who for yeprs has been one of the .city’s fore piost writers, has recently had one of her stories published in a magazine, thereby marking her entry into the field of periodicals. The story is called “Jewels For Jewel” and was published by the “Girlhood Days” magazine, printed at Cincinnati, Ohio, by the Standard Publishing Company. , It was written in the summer of 1924 and was sent to the Standard Company that fall and was imme diately accepted. The publishers, however, haq already made up their paper for the Christmas holidays and rather than refuse the use of it. they purchased it and saved it until tills year when they featured it as the main story during the pre-holiday season. Tlie scene of the story is laid in a Southern city, the heroine. Jewel, being a college girl from the west ftho is in school in a college there. When the story opens we find Jewel ’eft in the schpok for the Christmas holidays with only the teacher of Latin. Miss Bates, to keep her com pany. Jewel’s father lias been forced to take a trip to Japan and as her mother has been dead a year, there is no place for the girl to go. Jewel starts to do .some shopping for herself (her wealthy lather has sent her money with which to pur chase a pearl necklace) and is halted by a series of circumstances which takes here to the home of a poor widow who lives in a cotton mill settlement on the outskirts of the city. While here, she decides to be Santa Claus for thfe family. Calling! in Miss Bates to assist in the purchasing of the toys, she be comes aware of the fact that the colds Latin teacher is human. Together they get the necessary articles and give the poor family the Christmas of their lives. Happy in the thought of helping others. Jewel forgets about Iter pearls until her father conies in I unexpectedly and inquires about them. He is well astisfied, however, at the explanation and is astonished to discover that Miss Bates was an old sweetheart. In a short time it is decided that Miss Bates and Jewel's father will be married the next sum mer and the curtain falls on the happy family scene. The story, which is issued in three installments, is a well-written piece and is worthy of a larger magazine than that in which it is printed. Mrs. Kidd has developed the plot in mas terly fashion and has written the thing in a simple but forceful style Which is admirable for story telling. A care in detail has made the story a finished production. Previous to the publication of “Jewels or Jevvel” Mrs. Kidd has had a series of four stories published in the Greensboro Daily News. They were "True-Heart Nathan.” “A Dol lar a Day." “Come Clean." and “Night in Dixie." She lias also published two plays, one appearing in the Nor mal Instructor and the other coming out in phamphlet form from the El dridge Entertainment House. Emily's Dream was her first work and was taken by the Eldridge Entertainment House. The other play was called "What Did the Sandman Bring?" Mrs. Kidd's writing is of compara tively recent date. Although she did some work in the literary line at an early age. it was not until recent ly. the last four years, in fact, that she has done any serious work in story writing. Since taking it up Mrs. Kidd has studied with the University of North Carolina through the extension de partment. and has taken courses with the Home Correspondence School, of Springfield. Mass., and the Palmer Institute, of Los Angeles. Her col legiate work was done at Asheville Normal. Mrs- Kifid says that with her school work (she teaches during tile winter at Central Graded School) she finds it impossible to do any writing. For that reason she does the greater part of her writing during the Summer mouths. At present s' p is not do iug any writing. China Grove Road Open For Christ mas. Salisbury Pest. Hhe China Grove road, part of the state highway number 15 which has been closed for the past few months while hardsurfacing work has been going on. has been opened for the Christmas holidays. The base of the new rooad has been completed practically all the way through aud the remainder of the road is in splendid shape for travel, The announcement of the opening of this road will be received with joy by the large number of shoppers in this district and also be cause the Christmas travel will he heavy. While the detour is in good shaiie. the new' road will be shorter and better for traveL Work will be resumed on the high way shortly after the Christmas, holi days and it will again be closed to the public while the top coating is being applied.
