| WATKINSVILLE — Joe Ben
" Hardy and Dock Almand wenge
swapping stories a few days
| ago at H. H. Fambrough's
i store on the Watkinsville and
| Greensboro road.
| Physical prowess entervd into
! the discussion and Almand of
! sered Hardy $5 to ride him to
| Watkinsville in a wheelbarrow.
i Hardy quickly accepted the of
| fer. The contestants weighed ;
l in, Hardy at 144 pounds and
| Almand at 137 wheelbarrow- ‘
side, ’
l It is nine long miles from 5
| the Fambrough store to Wat- |
| kinsville and the road is a dirt l‘
| one and bumpy no end. ‘
! Hardy got a good grip on the |
! handles of the wheetbarrow and
started pushing to the ac- |
companiment of good natured
kidding from Almand. And |
[ Hardy didn't stop pushing until
t he, the wheelbarrow and Al- |
{ mand had covered the 9 miles
| and dumped his passenger out ‘
|on the courthouse steps. ‘
Just te rub it in, after pushing
‘ his wheelbarrow at a run for
100 yards, Hardy offered, e ‘
another $56 bill to push Almand |
into Athens. |
But nine miles of bumps and |
I dust had been more than Al
i mand had counted on and he
had enough, without stretching |
l the uncomfortable trip another |

GRIFFIN, Ga—Guy Haisten o{}
Griffin, who tied for low medalist'
honors in a golf tournament at La-
Grange recently, tells the story ofl
a golfer whose chief asset was his |
ability to “talk a good game.” !
Without violating any rules of
the game, the man engaged his op
ponent in conversation ag they
walked along between holes and
made statements about his ability, |
and politely disparaging state
ments about the weaknesses of his
opponent’'s game. The psychology
worked for a time, but not with the
last player he met. I
The talker triead out all hig
tricks; his opponent seemed to playl
even, better.
At the end of the round he learn- |
ed the opponent wag deaf. |

growled, chewed up trees and did]
‘other extraordinary thins was the

In other words, it was a business
