We had a lot of wina in Folksburg last Monday, and it roared around ail day and mightly near shook every-| thing loose. Jeff Putton prophesied freely that we'd hear of a big storm ff somewhere, but the papers didn’t! speak of it, and he’s been disappoint- ed in not ecetting to remind anybody | of his predictions. | Simen Sloan, who has been gone for | a month or twe, arrive | back in town | fuésday. He came in all prepared to be /’kept busy for a few days telling everybody where he’d been, but seems like not very many people realized that he’d been away. Emmett Tucker drove around a little last Saturday to loosen up his flivver, which was the first time he has had it out since last fall. Right away Mar- shal Bailey noticed that it didn’t have a new license tag, and he gave Em- mett let on like he was greatly sur- prised, and said a body woundn’t think how the time does fly.

While Jud Johnson was waiting the other day in Sam Price’s barber shop for his turn to look at Sam’s paper he got to telling now he read that it will soon be so you can see over the telephone who you are talking to. Some of those present sort of glanced | in Sam’s glass and thought that would be a drawback. But they all agreed it would save Felix Cobb alot of wasted motion the way he always gestures so much when he talks on the phone. Billy Boy, the young son of Mr. and \ Mrs. Tom Riley, was right sick last week, but he’s a lot better now. In fact, he’s well enough that he’s begin- nnig to insist that Tom start buying all the things that were promised to him if he’d swallow his medicine Migs Sadie Baxter had-a man come over from Bromwell the other day and tune her piano that had been needing it a long time.
