The Jackson County Journal, Sylva, N.C., Nov. 28, 1919

Pumpkintown Items

As I haven’t seen anything from this place in quite awhile I will give a few sketches.

There is a lot of whooping cough throughout the community. Our school had to stop on account of it. I am sorry, as we were having a good school.

Mrs. A.A. Johnson has been very ill for the past few days. We hope she will soon be out again.

Mrs. R.D. Rogers is very sick. She is wished a speedy recovery by her many friends, as she has been in bad health for some time.

Messrs. P.R. Hyatt and John Stiles have moved their saw mill in and set it up and are now ready for business.

Mr. H.G. Crisp is about done logging and sawing the Pressley Cove and will move his mill to the Rogers timber in a short while.

Mr. L.A. Pressley has just completed his barn and it is a great improvement.

Mr. H.G. Crisp has rented Mr. R.D. Rogers’ place and moved to it for the next year. Mr. Rogers has moved to the old Higdon place.

Mr. Calvin Wilson has sold his steers and wagon to Mr. N.H. Passmore of Macon county.

Miss Birda Johnson has gone to Sylva to stay with her sister, Mrs. Beulah Wilson.

Mr. John Stiles made a business trip to Franklin one day last week.

Mr. T.C. Williams of Macon county is making his home at Mr. Mack Higdon’s.

Mr. Hughie Bishop is visiting relatives on Cullowhee.
