My folks lived so far from the schoolhouse (4 miles) the younguns had to have some age on them before they could walk 8 miles a day, plus the .10 miles they ran and cavorted during the 2 little recesses and the big recess at dinner time. (We had never heard of “lunch” then). I wore a little striped “linsey” dress that looked like a cross between a piece of damask and convict ap parel: it was part wool and part cot ton, but the biggest part was cotton. It wasn’t uncommon for fairly large size boys to wear dresses* during that period. A big bum who looked to be about 17 years old and who was in the third reader (3rd grade) called me “sissy.” I got so dad-blamed mad at him I crawled under the schoolhouse and stayed there until books had been turned out. A little later on I got 4 other fellows that were nearly as big as he was to help me and we gave him a good whipping, but he tore my dress plumb off. I had a time getting home that afternoon ..' .‘-.‘thru the woods. Our teacher had never seen a col lege but she could write and spell pretty good, so they said. She taught me how to make straight marks on a slate for 3 weeks and then let me take up my ABC’s. I got so I could say down to “F” off by heart within 2 months.

Joanna Mills of Goldville captured the regular schedule championship of the Mid-Carolina league Saturday by smashing out a 11 to 8 victory over Watts Mills. Joanna’s seven-run rally in the eighth inning which fea tured C. Farmer’s home run with the bases loaded provided the margin of victory. Newberry at the same time rolled up an early lead and then staved off Clinton Mills’ late scoring rally to'^ take a 12 to 7 victory. Rowe banged out three hits in four times iqj to pace the winners. Joanna will meet the winner of the Watts-Newberry series in the Shaughnessey play-off for the league pennant.
