There was a slight hestitation on the other end of the line and then a voice with an unmistakable accent said: “The Immortal Robert E. Lee and Southern Confederacy, one and all, long may they live. Happy Memorial Day.” The Confederate enthusiasts heard Herb draw a npick breath or he other e”i' Jr . line *..td then this droned over the wires: "Well, that’s fine.

Donkey Game Set For Tomorrow With a warning to come out firing and to protect themselves inside the ropes, the Black Moun tain Jaycees bubbled over with ex citement as they voted unan amiously to accept the challenge flung so haughtily in their face last week by the Lions. In case you haven't heard, the occasion is the donkey base ball game which will be played at the grammar school field tomorrow (Friday) evening at 8:00 o’clock. “We did it once and we can do it again,” growled the Lions, no doubt, re membering the lacing they hand ed the juniors last fall. The festivities will be opened at 7:45 p. in. when Herbert Sanders, District Governor o? 31A Lions International, will ride the first burro around the field at a dead gallop. Following him on mules of their own choosing will come the papa Lion, President Ronald E. Finch, Bill White, Charlie Spencer, and a host of others. The Jaycees are keening their plans a secret, but Ted Hol man, Ross Taylor, Pug Morgan, and Dean Willis have been, or so the rumors say practicing sliding down the banisters at the city hall. Tickets are now on sale and President Finch expects a full house to be on hand when the donkey goes up and Sanders down at the grammar school field to morrow evening.
