Highlights from Furr Township, N.C., Nov. 25, 1924

Country Correspondence from Furr Township

The people of this section are about through gathering their crops.

L.D. Sparks, the blacksmith, has purchased a new Ford car.

John Starnes has purchased himself a new Ford touring car.

Our school has opened at Locust with Miss Eunice McManus of near Midland as teacher.

Corn shuckings are about over in this neighborhood. Crops were very good.

The snappy games were fine at Relis Barbee’s Saturday night. After the corn was all shucked, the crowd marched in to a table filled with good things to eat. After supper was over, all went into the parlor and all kinds of funny games were played.

Mrs. John Starnes and children motored to Midland Sunday to visit relatives there.

L.D. Sparts and Johny Hatley carried their tools and dish pans and tubs to cut a bee tree Saturday, but they returned empty.

Everybody is looking forward for a happy Thanksgiving and an old time rabbit hunt.
