Very few people object to a little
newspaper publicity when they are
brought before the public in a pleas
ant way. And the same is true of a
community.
We are proud to look around and
find that our neighbors are holding us
in high esteem because of some suc
cessful enterprise or noticeable in
dividual thrift and progress. This, by
way of apology for calling your atten
tion to the part Huntngton took in
the second and third Liberty Bond
drive. And by Huntington we mean
those in or near the place. So far as
we 'have been able to gather the facts,
$23,200 represents the value of all
Liberty Bonds in our community. I
hope you all will not consider it a
breach of modesty for me to say that
this is a remarkably fine showing for
our little tolwn. To this you may
add $3,200 in war savings stamps then
you will have he entire amount given
by our people to strengthen the
sinews of war and brace up the boys
behind the guns.
I have often looked for an explana
tion of why it is that we have so many
different names for the human family.
In every community, every town, any
where you go, new names show up.
Some of them excite you and you
wonder how such names were tolerat
ed at the original hand-out. Others
carry a tinge of humor, for instance,
at the Windsor Hotel the night clerk
was called up early one morning re
cently and asked if a Mr. Damn man
was registered with him. The clerk
very positively told the party that he
would not allow any personal differ
ences settled in the house, hung
up the receiver and walked away. In
a few minutes another ling-a-lng call
ed him back to the phone. “Slay,
I am anxious to know if you have a
Damm man there?” “Yes, he is here,
and is now looking after four other
Damm members of his family.
This air bird question is getting to
be a rather serious matter in so far
as it effects the farming interest in
our community. How? You ask.
That’s easy. For the last ten days
everybody has been on edge to see one
of the birds Pass over. Take notice
of a bunch of cotton choppers and you
will find a considerable portion of
them cranning their necks ad scan
ning the skies for the new-comers.
Yes. and this curosity and anxiety
takes in the entire population. So if

the cotton and corn get a little bit
grassy, the cause will be directly,
tracable to the appearance of our new
air maniuplator.
Lee Johnson, chairman of the Red
Cross committee for this district,
makes the positive gratifying state
ment that he has not had a singfe
person to refuse a contribution to the
Red Cross. True, many were not able
to give anything, yet they strengthen
ed the cause with a genuine willing
ness to drop in their mite under more
favorable circumstances. We should
add that the colored people did re
markaly well. In addition to indi
vidual contributions, several churches
took up collections and raised nice
little sum in this way.
Roy Johnson who has passed his
final examination and been accepted
for service in the navy is expecting
orders every day to report for duty at
training camp at Charleston, S. C. Roy
was in the fourth year in college, and
from an educational standpoint he
enters the naval service well equipped
for promotion. Huntington now has
two boys in the navy, Willie Cheek be
ing the first to enlist, more than a year
ago. The June registration took in
Bennett Cheek, who stands ready, will
ing and anxious to don Uncle Sam's
dress move to the front.
Misses Alice Perry and Edna Hayes
came home last week from Athens
where they recently graduated with
distinguished honors in the S. N. C.
It is very gratifyign indeed to note
that s o many of our country girls and
boys are supplementing their .high

course in college which broadens their

life and lays a firm foundation upon
which to begin their career in life. To
this add a fixed purpose, a steady de
termination and gently tempered will
power and success is just over the
way.
And what do you think! A twenty
six hundred dollar “Cole 8”, a lone
bachelor at the wheel, room for five
passengers and all you see enjoying
the heavenly rest and ease is a promis
ous bunch of male genders usurping
the space, time and attention which,
by Divine right, should be given to
some attractive young lady to direct
in her own charming way.
Ned Johnson, who Has passed his
first year at the Tech, is at home
for his summer vacation.
Mrs. Gleaton, who has been quite
ill, for several days and unable to
take any nourishments, is gradually
improving and her condition now is
very favorable for an early recovery.
Green A. A. Perry went up to Ath
ens last week to witness the gradua
tion program at the S. N. C., and to
see his daughter, Alice receive her
diploma from that institution. Green,
you know, takes a keen and lively
interest in any and all things in which
the ladies are concerned, so you can
make a real fine guess as to how he
looked and acted in the midst of three
hundred pretty college girls. You see
Mrs. Perry didn’t go.
G. W. Nunn is right in the midst
of installing a brand new two 80-saw
Lummus ginnery outfit with a ca
pacity of forty bales a day The name
Lummu s is a sufficient guarantee that
you will get a neat, shapely bale and
a good sample.
Mr and Mrs. Carl Murphy, of At
lanta, are on a visit to H. P. Murphy,
our clever and accommodating rail
road agent. From here Mr. Carl and
and his family will go to Ocala, Fla.,
for a few days visit with his sister.
It is very encouraging to take a
spin out in the rural districts of
Sumter county and see the promising
outlook for a year of fine crops. The
recent warm days have caused the
cottcn lice to disappear and the plant
is making strides onto a hearty and
vigorous condition. Corn shows ev
<ry indication of a normal yield and
the various other aids to the farmer,
such as ground peas, velvet beans, po
tatoes and cane will come to the bat
later on to drop in a big share in the
annual accounting. We all know that
wheat, yes home grown wheat, will be
given a bright smile this fall when
tucked away in our home granary.
