Lib, who is not given to ex citement and is not the nervous type, drew back with a yell and jumped almost out of her skin, but not quite. “It won’t hurt you,” Mr. Higginbotham assured all of us, “It’s only a baby.” Not to be outdone by the society editor, the editor stuck his nose in and had a short mighty short, look at the baby _Turn To Page 5, Sec.

Thad McDonald, minister of the Black Mountain Methodist church, will exchange pulpits at the 11 o’clock services this com ing Sunday, August 3. The Rev. Mr. Styles is affection ately remembered as the minister of the Black Mountain Presbyter ian church, which he served for five years before assuming his present pastorate. A cordial welcome is extended to the public. Graduate of Black Mountain High school, Mr. Greene is no newcomer to the position of town manager, having served in that capacity several years prior to leaving for duty with the armed forces during World War II. Af ter attending Presbyterian college where he won letters in football, baseball, and boxing, Mr. Greene spent three years in New York as store manager for Loft Candy company. His first position with the town was as chief of police. He moved up as town manager, following one year’s service, suc ceeding H. A. (Doss) Kerlee who resigned to become postmaster. After serving from 1944-45 in the army, “T” returned to become associated with Grove Stone where he has been since. The council discussed several other matters of great importance..

Stale Inspector Is Pleased With Remodeled Jail Chief of Police Carl Smith and town officials have been praised for the condition of the town jail by T. A. Early, inspector of cor rectional institutions for the State of North Carolina. In a letter addressed to the chief Mr. Early said he found the jail in good shape and in an approved condition. The letter follows: Mr. W. C. Smith Chief of Police Biack Mountain, N. C. Dear Chief Smith: I was sorry not to see you on June ti when I was there for an inspection of the city jail. I talked with the town clerk and Mr. L. A. Baker, the officer on duty at the time. It is evident that you are still doing a good job of keeping your remodeled jail in an approved condition. I found it in good shape on this date. The quarters are small, and without space for segregation, but since your pract ice is to take prisoners to the county jail in Asheville when cir cumstances require it, it seems that you can get along very well with what you have for short-time sobering-up confinement. We appreciate what you and the mayor did to correct a bad situa tion. I hope to see you on my next visit. Very truly yours, T. A. Early, Inspector Correctional Institutions Raleigh, N. C.
