Sees the Signs.
Last week in “Around Our Town”
two misspelled signs were spoken of
—for two reasons, first to see if any
one would notice the signs and second I
to see if anyone read “Around Our!
Town”—They did, and, they do. ArdieJ
H. Galloway, decorator and card j
writer at Gilmer's, was the first to
mention that he had noticed the two
signs—One was the word “pecoting”
on a sign at the Union bank corner. |
Correctly the word is spelled “pitot-j
ing’’, although it is pronounced as if
it wa “e” instead of “i”. The other
is the sign over Harry Oapple’s Sur
plice Store, Surprise being spelled
“Suprise”, which is the way it is
pronounced.
Hows This Flappers?
Since the women have invaded the!
“bobber” shops many strange stories1
are heard. Town after town broad-'
casts its freak bobbed hair story Over ;
the week-end Shelby developed a rival
for the best of them, that is, if re-;
ports are true. It is wagged about
town that on Saturday a lady had her;
hair bobbed, which is nothing unusu
al. but it happens that this particular
lady is the mother of 14 children. FoL
lowing the bobbing by the “bobber”;
a close friend is said to have told the I
lady she looked younger than some of!
her children—however this is not n
“bobber* shop advertisement although
it may help business. The lady is said
to ho a resident of Eastside and of the
opinion she has as much right to bob
her hair as any of her children—
which she has.
Javan’s Candidate.
Javan Orr, colored, impersonator
extraordinary and at odd moments
when cash is rather scarce utility
valet at the Legion club rooms, is a'so
a politician if a tip prospect so de
sires. Last week a Legion member
from another town dropped into the!
club rooms for a few minutes and!
while there engaged in a con versa-!
*ion with Javan the only one in at the
time.
“Well, who is your man for Presi
dent?” file visiter asked Javan.
‘^Tistub Davis,” Javan replied as he
thumped an imaginary dust spot on i
one shoulder of his questioner’s coat.;
“Whv so?" came the nex‘ query. <
“Jus’ kase he is. Why Mistuh Sup-:
ah Babe, Mistuh Jesse, Mistuh Chupk, j
Mistuh Charlie and naos all de boys
•JfcU'Hs-tk. sftJPt*. way.”
“Well then, whom do you think has
jthe best show,” was the next question
meaning election prospects between
Davis and Coolidge.
“Mah Goodness, man, haint nobud
dy ip class wid Ring-aling Brudders.’ |
Javan got his tip and kept his re
p itaticn for intelligence.
Look For Melons.
The announcement in Tuesday’s
Star of the annual Hamrick picnic at ]
Hamrick Spring on Thursday, August!
7, reminded some of the farmers at-i
tending court that Andy Newton was |
to furnish the refreshments in the;
form of a wagon load of watermelons.!
At the picnic last year a mock trial j
was staged for diversion and Andy
was the defendant, the charge being |
that he brought intoxicating drinks
on the picnic grounds. The judgment1
of the mock trial tribunal was that;
Andy must this year bring a wagon j
load of watermelons—enough for the
entire crowd. Whether Andy will have
the melons is not known, but from the
discussion about the picnic everybody
expects a good time and from present
irdications many farmers and their
families will be present.
Want Barnyard Golf.
Two fair enthusiasts while discuss
ing the approaching fair last week
suggested a new attraction for one
day of the occasion-a horseshoe
tournament, bet'er known in recent
years as barnyard golf. The two sug
gested that each section of the coun
ty he allowed one entrant and that the
tournament be one) of elimination.
They felt sure some business firm or
individual would gladly give a suit
able prize for the county’s champion
barnyard golfer. We think so too, Fair
officials say that such a contest will
be staged as a diversion if a suitable
prize is offered. Who wants to-offer
a prize for the most “ringers?’'
