Thursday, November 18, 1937 FIELD DAY FOR 'POSSUMS Joe Bivina, Fidel Sale and a couple of hound dogs, ac companied by about 18 members of the L. B. Abernethy Sunday school class of the Elkin Methodist church, went on a 'possum hunt one night last week. f That is, Mr. Bivins and Mr. Sale and the dogs engaged in the hunt; the others merely walked through the woods. Considerable excitement 1 stages of the hunt when one of* the dogs treed Carl Young, but after several moments of arguing was convinced that Carl was not a 'possum. Toward the latter stage, when practically the entire crop of Wilkes county cockleburrs and briars had gathered for a camp meeting on the hosiery and trous ers' legs of those present, Mr. Bivins decided to forge on ahead with the dogs. For thirty min utes his whereabouts were un known until a faint yell for help came floating from far away across the hills. The cry for help was immedi ately answered, and, when the en tire group reached the scene shortly thereafter, they found that two large, sleek 'possums had Mr. Bivins treed in a persimmon tree. It was only by calling in the dogs that he was rescued.

Following this excitement, the group moved on to the home place of Uncle Dick Harris, where Gilbert Meed, whose advertising slogan is "We Make Your Home Hot for You" spent three-fourths of an hour and used two giant boxes of matches and practically all the kerosene from a lantern in building a fire that had all the earmarks of suffering from a bad attack of the smothers. Shortly thereafter a bountiful repast of hamburgers, hot dogs, onions, mustard, cheese and marshmal lows were served, much to the apparent delight of Doc. Aber nethy, who visioned a brisk bus iness next day in the sale of med ical preparations designed to cure stomachache and indiges tion. Over the noise of the meal sev eral sounds, muchly resembling a horse laugh, were heard coming from the outer darkness. No doubt it was the various 'possums of the community. But after all, why hunt 'pos jums on a 'possum hunt? ♦ » ♦ WE'RE ALL WET Definitely and positively we are all wet this morning, and we are peaking literally. It's raining like blazes outdoors, and, a custom it has, the rain is leaking through the moulding above the pfate glass window and is falling with an angry _ patter about our feet THE ELKIN TRIBUNE. ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA and splashing all over the type writer. Of course we could move, but that would be so much trou ble. Maybe it will quit raining. That's it, we will wait and hope for clearing skies. We've been all wet before and have always dried out so why go to any extra trouble now? And if it doesn't stop raining and the worst comes to the worst, we can swim. It might be a good idea to have that window fixed so the water won't come through. But when, It's not raining it don't need it, and when it is raining it's too wet to fix it, so there you are. ' If the leak keeps getting worse as it has been for the past six years, it may be that we will build a boat and set our chair and desk in it. Then, when the water comes in and rises in a deep pool on the floor, we can just float around. Or if we don't want to float around we oan tie up to the linotype. * We don't mind the rain coming in during the summer, because we are aways on the lookout for an excuse to take off our shoes, roll up our pants and go wading. But this November rain is a little chilly for that. Maybe we'll wind up in a slicker and rubber boots. * • * THIS AND THAT The Elkin All-Stars put up a much better game than we ex pected in their contest with Elk in Hi last Thursday afternoon, chalking up a scoreless tie when we figured they would get beat. But then we never were much good at figures. Of course it can't be said defi nitely, but it was the opinion of practically everyone who saw the closing moments of the game that the All-Stars would have scored had the game not ended when it did.
