Little Miss Estelle Miller, daughter of G.C. Miller, who underwent an operation at the Salisbury hospital, has been in a serious condition, but is improving at this time.
Mrs. J.D. Lindsay and Ruth Torrence of Gastonia passed through Faith today in their car and had a talk with Venus, Miss Ruth at the wheel.
We have fine crops in this section.
Rev. Frank H. Burdick and his wife, Mrs. L.R. Putnam and daughter Margaret Putnam, and Mrs. Mary K. Young visited old Organ and Lower Stone churches, Margaret Putnam at the wheel, motored through Faith on their way back and had a talk with Venus. They read his items regularly. They are mighty fine, clever people.
We visited W.A. Roseman, the wholesale candy man, today. He has a fine lot of candy.
Venus shipped two jars of his homemade eczema cure save today to Capetown, Union of South Africa, by parcel post. If you can beat that for shipping Rowan county products a long distance, trot out your man.
Mrs. A.Y. Cranford, Route 7, sent Venus a pea that is 2 ½ feet long. She raised it. If you can beat that, trot out your pea.
Carolina Kid, the correspondent on Route 7, Concord, says Venus, I know a woman who has a Missouri hunting knife that has been through three generations and is still a good knife. She also has a small jug that holds about five drops of water and says if we can beat that for a small jug, trot it out. We give up.
The Southern Power Co. showed us their new cooking way with electric heat. How this world is getting wise.
We met a crowd of fine young men at Kirks place of business. Hasty Lyerly is Kirk’s private chauffeur. Tom Cauble drives a big Packard. Miss Charlotte, Walter Kirk’s secretary Wade Kirkpatrick drive sup from Statesville and had two mighty pretty girls among his passengers. J.E. Landreth now has two fine busses on the line between Salisbury and Statesville, 12-passenger Studebaker is a fine beautiful car.
Venus wants to buy a grandfather clock, $10,000 in Confederate money, 4,000 Indian arrowheads, six Indian tomahawks, pewter plates and the molds to make them, and 12 pewter spoons and three pewter pitchers and six pewter drinking cups. We want to set a table with old-time things like people used before the Revolutionary War. The Salisbury-Spencer Merchant’s Association never forget Venus. We received an invitation by mail today from them to attend their barbecue and athletic games at South River bridge Thursday afternoon, August 27th, at 3:45. We also got a free ticket. That’s the way to do. Don’t forget the oldest newspaper correspondent in Rowan county, or any other county.
