At what business place around
Black Mountain is it possible to
find an authority on just about
any subject? One morning last
week they were discussing mash
which is used in making what
some call Mountain Dew. Although
I couldn’t pin anything on any
certain person, some of the fel
lows present seem to speak with
more than a layman’s knowledge
of how and why the operation
works.

A certain young bachelor
around town is having a rough
time. Few months back he, it
is said, delighted in calling his
friends who had announced their
intention of hitting the orange
blossom trail, "suckers."
Now he has the scent and his
friends aren't letting up. Which
proves that when the orange
blossom get after you, your jig
is up and you might as well
admit it.

Merry Christmas to you and
yours.
