stantly killed near his home at Pea

the car overturned in the branch,
Mr. Worrell's head and shoulders
were submerged in the water.

HAS LOST 1 GAME
Takes Place of Mulberry
In Surry County
League
The newly organized baseball team
representing Elkin In the Surry
County League, played their fourth
game Saturday against Westfield de
feating them by the score of 10 to

decided to give way in favor of a
stronger team. Up to the present
time Elkin has lost but one game,
having won three, and the oae lost
was played before the present team
was organised. The Elkin boys are
very enthusiastic and feel sure they
can win the championship which will
be played at the close of the season
by the two teams occuping firßt and
second place. A five-game series will
be played to decide this.
The next two games will be played
on the local ground, they being
scheduled for next Saturday and
Saturday week.
The local team will play indepen
dent ball in Elkin each Wednesday
and these games should be worth
keelng as they will all be with good
teams. i

Winston-Salem. has received a coat
ing of tar and gravel throughout
its entire length an automobile
trip to Winston disclosed Sunday
