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.

during the second half and
Dalton rode into the first place.
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.
In the Lookout Valley League
in 1951, Dade County won the
first half championship and

an Billy Finley each scored a
touchdown Friday afternoon to
lead the hard-driving Dunlap
eleven to a 13-0 victory over
the Dade High Wildcats.
Merriman scored in the first
quarter from the two-yard
stripe after a pass from quart
eiback Harry Wagner to end
Don Harmon, covering 20 yards
put the ball in scoring posi¬
tion. A pass from Wagner to
fullback Richard Hamilton ad¬
ded the extra point.
Billy Finley added the se-
cond score in the 3rd period as
he picked up a fumble by Dade
fullback and captain Cubie
Steele and galloped 61 yards to
the double stripes. |
Dunlap won the game in the ,
line as the forward wall out-
charged the Wildcats through-

never find a hole in which to
run while the Dunlap backs

week. Articles should be
brought early Friday morning
to the old skating rink build¬

periods.

to both members and the gen¬

either arangements or entries
in the horticulture section

general basis of design, ba¬

Mr. Iler and his sister, Mrs.

the East Chattanooga Garden
Club. Mr. Iler’s talk on “Con¬
servation” was both interesting
and informative, as was his in¬
formal account of his hobby of
"painting” pictures with plant
materials instead of pajnts.
The devotional was given by
Mrs. S. L. Sells, chaplain. Mrs.
Roy McBryar gave the trea¬
surer’s report for Mrs. W. C.
