A daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. George Denny in Watts Hospital, Durham, Monday afternoon. Late that same day Mr. Denny was observed driving rapidly down the Hillsboro road. Ordinarily he turns into Rosemary street toward his home, but this time he kept on going north down the hill. Several of his friends saw this with astonishment. “Why!” they exclaimed to one another. “The man has gone temporarily mad with excitement over his new daughter and has forgotten the way home! We ought to send after him and bring him back!”
It developed that he was merely hurrying down to the home of Laura Baker, the cook, to tell her the news.
