Parker's Store at Bowden. R. M. Byrd, one of the investiga ting Deputies, said that the first break-in and robbrry was on May 10. One week later it was robbed again. Finger prints were obtained resulting in the capture of Hand. According to Byrd, he has admit ted breaking into the store on those two occasions and taking $100 worth of merchandise. Hand is under $2,000 bond, $1,000 for each offense. According to Sheriff Ralph Mil ler, evidently the broken window in the Branch of the Bank of Mount Olive at Calypso was. the result of an attempted entry Saturday night. Apparently these responsible for the attempted entry were fright ened and did not succeed in their efforts to rob the Bank. The Sheriff's Department has ch- eked the scene for finger prints. The alertness of the citizens of Calypso evidently prevenlted a Bank robbery at Calypso. Investigation is continuing.

Uncle Pete From Chittlin Switch SATS and walked off. Back in the "high plateau" days he wouldn't even have stopped to listen. So I ain't too shore; Mister Editor, if this "slight recession' is going to be bad or good fer us. I see where a feller from Chi cago is so disgusted with the way Congress, is running the country that he alms to try to cross Lake Superior over to Canada in a bar rel. Somebody ought to give this feller a good talking to, appeal to his pariotism. In the first place, we're short on barrels In this cou ntry, and In the second place, he ought to stay here and take his medicine with the rest of us. The best writers in the country. Mister Editor, ain't working on newspapers. They is working as press agents fer resort towns in Florida, I saw a picture of a bath ing beauty in the paper Sunday, and under the picture they was just these words: "Brown, Bare, and Beautiful," Now that's wnat 1 call sharp-shooting with a type writer. Tom, truly, ; Uncle Pete DEAR MISTER EDITOR: We used to have just three kinds of business. It was good, or it was bad. or We was having a panic. Now we got recessions, depres sions, booms high plateaus, low plateaus and middle plateaus, just to name; a few, It's hard fer a country ; ttelle)r to kfnow exactly what kind! of fix he's in with all that going on. Right now, fer instant, the pa pers is saying we're having a slight recession, I reckon thajt mieans thdnga da gitjting more plentiful and money sitting more ain't. Un less it gits too ain't the situation might not be as bad as we think. Back during the war when we was having one of them booms, when things was scarce and money plentiful, things was pretty bad. I remember going to town one day with Ed Doolittle to buy himself a pair of pants- Til never ferglt seeing htm coming down the street in his underwear. He not only didnt git no paints, but they was so scarce the feller in the store traded nlm out of the pair he bad on. ' . When things wasn't so good, the - one-pants feller could drive up to pressing place, toot his horn and somebody would come out and git his pants, press'em and be back in a Jiffy. Right after the war, when we was having one of them, "high plateau" things, the tame pressing place had a bouncer, and when you finally did gu in, you'd git throwed out if you caus ed any1 undue comouon. And Jt war mighty big relief to the 'farmer needing nelp when we descended from the "high plateau", to the middle one. I'll never fergit when we maae tnai change-ovest I stopped a feller I l-.nowed and asked him if he'd Ilka to, do soma work fer me, He stood still until t got plum throu gh talking to bun afore be aald W Uy Neighbors -At fhls point, rd say that .
