  • THE BARK doing some good work on it. Bill Tippet is the contractor. . . Mrs. N. B. Wright and Billy have been visiting relatives in Oklahoma. . . The Rev. Harvey Stansberry, the railroad evangelist, who gave up a job as an engineer to become a preacher, recently was taken ill while in Nantahala to conduct revival meetings and was taken to Dr. Angel's Hospital at Franklin for a rest. Mr. Stansberry's father, John Stansberry, is also a widely known pulpit orator. Paul Vaught and little Virginia Kate Sneed, daughter of our Nantahala edgerman, John Sneed. The work on the last four miles of No. 28 Highway is under headway and we hope that when it is completed th: highway commission will give us good surface on the road, which now is wonderful in dry weather and horrible in wet. . . Charles Wilson and son, of Andrews, N. C visited here recently. . . . Recent visitors have been H. P. Moore, chief clerk, legal department, Columbus: G. S. Rice, inspector, National Hardwood Association, who lives at Asheville: W. P. Herron, also •of Asheville; Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Evans, Cincinnati and G. M. Caldwell. A. W. Agee, J. A. Porter, G. B.

"Have you taken the medicine exactly as I instructed?" the doctor inquired. "Weel, doctor," replied the patient, "I may be a wee bit beh'nd wi' the pills, but I'm six weeks ahead wi' the whiskey." Fourteen *#- Maben ^** There is no means of our knowing if any furnace building records have been broken, for records of past performances have not been preserved, but we are inclined to think they were crowded pretty close when Don Lambert and his crew tore down and rebuilt our No. 1 and No. 2 furnaces complete in four and a half days in the second week of May. Harrison Anderson, Bill Moore and Ab. Anderson laid the brick; Toney Lambert, Charlie Hensley and Lee Clay kept the old stuff out and the new in, and of course Don was around there doing the scheming, and on the jump all the time. Cupid is having real success at Maben. Among the newlyweds are Alton Caldwell and Hazel Brown, Paul Goode and Nellie Hall and Lacy Crawford and Leona Caldwell. It is rumored that three or four more couples are to be married in the very near future, so our young people can truthfully sing "Those Wedding B:lls are Breaking up that Old Gang of Mine". We extend hearty congratulations to the newlyweds and hope they will enjoy a long and happy life together. Mr. E. B. Rishell expects to join Mrs. Rishell and new daughter in Pennsylvania soon and after a few weeks' vacation bring them back to Maben with him. Congratulations. . . The roads are looking good now since the scraper has gone over them a couple of times. New cars are b;ing purchased at a lively rate. . . We have had two rather bad automobile accidents recently. Alton Caldwell's car went over the embankment near Hinton and later Mr. L. C. Hall's Chevrolet driven by his daughter, Mrs. Nellie Hall Goode, went over the bank between Maben and Mullens. Fortunately no one was seriously injured Are women better parquetry toners than men? An interesting ques- t i o n — Miss Daisy Keaton, pictured here, is certainly a good one. She matches 'em in the Beaver planing mill. in either case, but the cars were considerably damaged, especially Mr. Hall's. . . Coach Baihy and the high school boys are apparently getting a great deal of "kick" out of playing baseball. Their success to date has not been very phenominal but they're not permitting that to interfere with their enjoyment of the sport. . . Mr. C. E. Watkins, assistant superintendent, is driving a new Knight Six. . . The graded school is out and of course the children are happy. The teachers, too, welcome vacation time and have gone to their homes. Butler: Your wife has run away with the chauffeur. Husband: Oh, well, I was going to fire him anyway. —Life.
