County’s On ly New s 'Toixmf. i n jBil O’ Bull > A BY . BROWNY STEPHENS! Court week is over now and the Dade County Fair is com¬ ing up next week. Lots of things are similar be- tween court and the fair. Both t"i;« plenty of folks to town. Both have judges, too. But the fai:- is different from court in that it lasts only two days. Different kind of judges. A stranger in town for court wee k said that court must bring everyone to town. He said that even the trains were stopping. Fays he • aw one of the railroad engineers over in the / auto parts store on the corner Course, we all know that it was no railroad engineer he saw It was Jim Geddie. Someone said that Jim has b?en known to take his Cen¬ tral of Georgia cap off— when he gave a bunt signal while coaching at a baseball game. Lots of different kinds of hats are worn around the square — especially during court week. Buck Pace and Bill Lynch sometimes wear the western, wide-brimmed, cattleman type hat This style is getting very popular in this part of the country. The Boy Scouts and State Patrolmen wear hats just about alike, too. Don’t know how po¬ pular they’re getting though. The hats, that is. Coonskin caps sure hit the bottom of the market in a hurry About as popular as gathering hay in a'rainstorm. Crash helmets are best suited for traveling the Lookout Mountain detour road. Speaking of hats, they tell one about a big, tall man in a wide-brimmed hat who walked up to a man in a bar and knocked him down, The man on the floor looked up at the tall man and said, 'Why did you hit me? I just said that I thought Truman was going to raise taxes.” “My apologies, pardner,” the tall man drawled, “I thought you said Truman was raised In Texas.” An old timer said recently that i r Patrick Henry thought taxation without representation was bad, he should have lived to see taxation with represen¬ tation. Which brings us down to the thought that there’s going to he an election this fall. One voter discussing the race for sheriff said that if all other things were equal among the candidates, he thought that a tall man with long legs would l '‘ 3nd a better chance of catching crooks and law vio- ‘ a - cn than anyone else. Pop Williams, the congenial car sealer, says that the case cf hhxon receiving $16,000 to cover expenses shows that the Republicans only want to get in so they can out-corrupt the Democrats.” Then he aded, “But they’ll 8ev er do it.” And that’s where Pop and I 5aw e ye-to-eye like a couple of c-o's-eyed coon dogs. He said 11 of something be- -•d-.' teeth No one will ever be out-corrupt the present ' 3R = in the administration.

In a play-off at Dalton two weeks ago, Dade County and Dalton fought to a 15-inning 9-9 draw and the game at Ris¬ ing Fawn decided the cham¬ pionship of the league. In Sunday’s game, doubles by Doc Hixson and J. D. Collins and a triple by Roy McMahan sparkled Dade’s five.-hit attack and Hixson struck out eight Dalton batters. Jeral Cooper starred at shortstop on defense and Roy McMahan made a number of outstanding plays. Dade County will play in an¬ other city-series game this week-end, having eliminated Monteagle 11-4 last week.
