Interesting Picture Appears
In New House After Rains
A well known drummer, who makes
Augusta at regular intervals, xvhose
name, If printed, would immediately
be recognized by numerous customers
; and a host of friends, blew in Satur
j day with a story that'll keep the
trophy about twelve months, unless a
! close competitor gets mighty busy.
He told a Herald reporter the yarn.
! but asked him not to print the au
thor's name. It runs like this:
“lip at Social Circle—you knoxt
where that is a hustling town on the
Georgia railroad, about 33 miles from
Atlantty It's growth in the last five
j years has been remarklible, and 1
predict even greater things for the
j bailiwick. But that ain't relevant. I
was about to tell you about Mr. Mli-
I ton Allman's new house, and a strange
| thing about that house that’s brought
| people from miles and miles about.
| "Well, as I was about to say; This
public spirited citizen—yes, he's a
| customer of mine—just finished him
' self a swell hangout last Wednes
day. It was a turn-kej< job, as the
contractors say. and everything ac
cording to Hoyle. The night before
the family was to begin moving in
the furniture, there came a big rain,
a tremendous sprinkle it was. too, if
anybody should ask you. The roof
leaked a bit, because the shingles
were not swelled good yet, and a
portion of sky-juice trickled down a
side wall to the immaculate plaster
ing of the reception hall."
Here the traveler came to a dead
stop, like as if he were finished. And
his audience viewed him with min
gled wonder and disgust. "I say! '
quoth one. more bold and better ac
quainted with the drummer than the
others. “I say. we’ll al, be damned
if you ain't a scream at telling yarns.
Suppose the roof did leak, what of it?"
The fat visitor shook all over with
laughter. Then his expression be
came serious, and in a stage whisper
he said: "Ease up here closer. Do
you know what the water brought
