PUSH ROOT

There was considerable excitement around here last Mon morning when Laurel Root got back from the missionary meeting that was held over at the Junction. It seems that Laurel went as a delegate from the local chapter of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society, and had in her care and keeping the $2.73 they had raised to give to this cause. At a recent meeting of the society, she as a delegate, was instructed to see that this money was sent to Siam. Laurel went over there with the funds in her possession and failed to carry out instructions. She got in the company of some of the delegates who wore the motto "ours For Korea" printed on a ribbon. these advocates of Korea gave Laurel a ribbon and thereby caused her to go contrary to instructions by turning her money over to them to be sent to Korea instead of Siam. When the members here found out about this they were whooping mad. Some of the older members remember seeing the Siamese Twins when they were n this country and have had a weakness for Siam every since they wanted their annual contribution of $2.73 to go to that country. Hereafter, it is going to that country if they have to take it there themselves and give it to the heathen.
Unless the game warden, whoever he is, doesn't do something with the skunks that loiter along the roads by night, he is going to get into trouble or have a damage suit on his hands. One night last week two young men from up Patterson's Creek were driving along conversing and talking about various matters too numerous to mention, when hey were attacked by a skunk right on the public highway. They saw it climbing the bank and made several conjectures as to what manner of beast it was. One said it was a chicken, the other said it was a coon. The skunk hearing them in dispute as to his identity breathed upon them and they were no longer in doubt. These animals should be looked after and not be allowed to molest innocent travelers.
