Elsbury Whedbee Is
(l Greatly Improved
Seriously injured and unaware of
his condition for more than 24 hours,
was the experience of Elsbury Whed
bee, prominent farmer of Route 3.
Mr. Whedbee, who lives near New
botd's Corner, was riding in the rear
of a pick-up truck driven by E. B.
(Hollowell, on Monday night of last
week. " In attempting to alight before
the truck had come to a stop, Mr.
Whedbee fell, striking his) head on
the concrete of the road. It was
not until a day or two later, when
distressing symptoms developed, that
Mr. Whedbee considered his injury
sufficient to call a doctor. Suffering
concussion of the brain, Mr. Whed
bee's condition was considered serious
for several days. He is, however,
greatly improved this week.
The accident occurred close to the
second anniversary of the tragic
death of Mr. Whedbee's young son,
Thurman, who was killed on Decem
ber 16, 1935, when struck by the
limb of a falling tree.

The couple expect to return to
their home at Hanover, N. H., about
the first of February, when the Pro

The summer months of this period
were spent in various European coun
tries, where Dr. Sikes studied condi
tions. During the fall they have
traveled extensively in several South
ern states, and returned to Hertford
for Christmas. They will be in
Washington several weeks.
William Doughtery, of Braddock,
Pa., is the owner of a dog with a
dual spine, two tails, different colored
eyes, and a gait similar to that of a
rabbit.
Taking an oath in court to tell the
truth was not enough for Frank
Brassford, of Upper Marlboro, Md.,
so he offered to raise both hands,
stand on his head and raise his feet.
DO YOU KNOW

the South originated from a
bank note issued by a New
Orleans bank in the early
uays. These notes were
printed in French and
English and bore the French
word for ten, "Dix". They
)ecane known as "Dixies"

GOME on in, the water's fine." Bath
ing in Japan is on a different plane
from ours, as these two American gentle
men can tell you. Tubs are perpendicu
lar there, instead of horizontal, and you
stand in the water up to your neck. But
we shouldn't laugh at this somewhat
primitive scene, according to Consum
ers Information, which points out that
only a hundred years ago, there were
only 1,500 bathtubs in the United States,
all of them in Philadelphia, where they
had a city water system and taxed each
tub $3.00. President Fillmore installed
