Catch the "Key to
the Smokehouse"
'I he "Kf) to lhe Kinokrhouw" in
Martin County was caught yester
day. February 2, groundhog day.
Mr. J. T « oltrain for Three suc
ceNtive seasons has caught the (irst
herring in the Roanoke in Martin
Coun.y. This first herring is called
the "key," and in a good many
smokehouses in thcMe parts ita suc
cessors constitute key. coatents, and
all. But as long as one has a goodly
supply of smoked and pickled her
rinigs in his smokehouse he is in
line circumstances, for some of the
fishermen in this part of the coun
ty can put these "Koanoke chick
ens" up to the queen's taste.
Mr. Coltram fished the greater
part of the day before that herring
came running along, and after he
had him landed took his hook and
line and set out fur home. There
is no desire for anything except the
"key" on this particular day,

Kveretts, Feb. 2.—Tuesday ni>{ht ot

'")• '«»«"t the Uak City quintet o:. the
>. idioms'on court, winning 14 to 4.
After getting u safe lead they oxperi-
USHled to an advantage in passing and
tried out a new arrangement of sig
i als, which worked wjth clock-like pre
cision, both together enabling them
io keep the ball a greater part of the
tune. Faulkner, of Everetts, played
very good game, making l.'l of hi*
• am'.H 14 poinits.
'l'he Oak City boys as a whole,
, iayed well. However, there appeared
disposition on the part of one (i
demonstrate his ability in making it
.>ugh and rowdy, which was all the
i .ore emphasizeil by a wink which wan
Urected at one of his colleagues fol
lowing a play that was especially no
-ceable anil which met the protest of
ijuile a numher of spectators He is
_i.i;derstood to have acknowledged this
i nsportsmanlike act after the game,
. ntl if this was intended as an apology
i; is accepted without |uestion, and
hi is to be commended for thus ac
knowledging atnl apiriogizing for hav -

I layed Kvwetts high school on the
letter's court
v.ere defeats! 'l\> to 37 in one of the
list anl most exciting Kaines of the
••ason. The visitors startel the Kunte
&'• a whirlwind pace, displaying great
accuracy in caging the hall, ami mak
ing throws at a dinatnce from the
foal that seemed nearly impossible
'1 bis necessitated the extension of the
t'vere ts defense, which interfered
with the long shots and to a certain
t xtent caused the visiting aggregation
to play more cautiously. The first
quarter ended with bethel leading 7
to 4.
Wi«h the rearrangement of their de
fense and a determination to share in
the spectacular playing bf their op
(•onents, the home boys entered the
.•ecbnrf ciuarter in much the same man
ner as did the visitors in the initial
encounter, and the accurate passing
and perfect shots by Faulkner and
Cherry tied the score, eventually forc
ing ahead to take a six-point lead,
which was of short duration, due to
the flashy comeback of the opposinn
t-uintet and once more the honor* wet*
even. Then it was that the Cherry-
KauTkner combination came to the res
i.ue, making 6 Counts in less than hsi'
u many minutes, and the first half
«lotted giving them a*lead of 8 points.
The visitors insisted on tying the
More once more during the final frame
I Kit faced an opposition that knows
no defeat, ami the timekeeper's whis
tie finally decided a game that had
(hanged hands continuously from tre
first minute of play.
Mr Jim Cook refereed, and the
liethel boys were unanimous in ac
cording to him the qualities of a very
i and arbiter, which goes to show that
they are a jolly bunch of fellows and
can Lake a defeat without offering
excuses. . _
