Irwinton Takes To Air
Mr I. F. Billue took his folks and
some friends to Miller’s Field at Ma
con, Sunday afternoon, Feb. 19, ’2B,
a day and date he will have no diffi
culty in remembering.
While watching the breath-taking
stunts of the aviators and thinking
how glorious it was to be safe on the
ground. Miss Mary Lizzie Hitchcock,
of his party, held two tickets before
his eyes and asked would he ride.
Blinking his astonished eyes and
swallowing his Adamsapple he eaid he
would.
He told the pilot that since this
was to be his last day on earth he
wanted to go high. This suited Miss
Hitchcock also, and all too soon they
roared away from the good, reliable
earth.
First, thrill was when the plane, in
turning to fly back over the field,
seemed to point one wing toward the
ground and he realized why they had
been strapped in. The plane righted .
and he looked at Miss Mary Lizzie '
and felt sure her vanity case would :
not get loose from such a grip.
After what, seemed hours of rising ;
Ike peered over the edge and seeing
nothing but the sky-colored wing he j
collapsed, thinking they were out of ;
sight of the earth.
Reviving, he looked again and the ]
farms were like small rugs and pine 1
woods like patches of fennel, and he
thought how much happier he was a
few days ago with his car stuck in
mud on a lonely road
The plane now began to show
speed, darting forward in hundred
yard leaps which left them no time to
think and no mind to think with. ।

Prisoners Recaptured
Sheriff Leon Player has Willie
Wilcox, Benjamin Williams, John
Hightower, negroes who broke jail,
back in their cells again, only leaving
Will Thomas at large.
The fact that the prisoners escaped
during a rain made it more difficult
to trail them but the sheriff kept after
them through the swamps and woods,
day and night not giving them time
to get food or rest or dry clothes.
But coming down was the goods.
They dropped straight down for at
least a mile in no time at all, Miss
Hitchcock, like himself, staying right
with the plane. When they had for
gotten how to breathe they circled
around and made a comfortable land
ing. The first thing they noticed on
stepping out was the earth’s steadi
ness.
Miss Bernice Hitchcock of Sparta
spent the weekend with Miss Mary
Lizzie Hitchcok.

To Voters of Wilkinson County:
When I announced for sheriff some
time ago it was my purpose to see
personally every voter in the county,
but unfortunately I was confined for
several days in the Hospital on
account of a severe operation, and my
condition is not so that I can see
everybody before the election.
Realizing that the office is yours to

asking that each give consideration to

white spotted heifer and 4 Jersey
heifers ranging in age from 12 to 18
or 20 months. These yearlings es
caped from a truck that was upset
near Mt. Carmel church last Thurs
day Feb. 9th. Yearlings were all
unmarked. If any person will locate
them or get them up and let me know
he will be liberally rewarded.

Nine are out for Honduras Presi
dent. If they’re any sort of marks
men they’ll soon get him.
Memories are pleasanter than the
real thing, because they are not so
truthful.
There is an idea somewhere speci
ally designed to make your life worth
living, so when you find it let it lead
