The Ellaville Sun Friday, July 7, 1939 No. 2 SCHLEY SLANTS by Raymond Duncan HOW BETS ARE WON Mrs. Millard Arrington doubted the effectiveness of the traps her husband was baiting to catch mice. So she made him (a) wager that the three traps wouldn't catch two rats. The next morning Millard found the bait was gone from the first trap, but he didn't see a mouse. The same had happened to the second. He reached the third and found two mice! JINXED PARKING SPOT Last summer Erwin Robertson of Pompano, Fla., visiting relatives in Schley county, parked his automobile in front of an Ellaville business house. Transacting his business, he returned and was unable to start the car. A mechanic was called and the car operated without trouble for a year. One day this week, back in Schley county for another visit, he parked his car in front of the same business house. He went in and transacted the same business he did last year. He returned but was unable to start the car. A mechanic was called, and he drove out of town, saying, "I'm going to have this put in The Ellaville Sun." OSSIE GOES TO THE SHOW But Ossie Allen of Jefferson creamery(?) here beat him to it. He told this department about the incidence and he and Mrs. Allen will be guests of SCHLEY SLANTS and the Rylander theatre, Americus, at a movie there next week. He receives the week's award of a pair of guest tickets to the Rylander. "Tell him he can't go wrong seeing Bob Burns and Gladys George in "I'm from Missouri" which we are playing next Monday and Tuesday," declared Manager J.N. Morgan of the Rylander. Remember, each week guest tickets to the Rylander are given to the person submitting the item most suitable for this column--not the person mentioned in the item, but the person who turns it in. MANY HAPPY RETURNS OF THE DAY Birthday congratulations to Mrs. C.W. Ranew, July 1; Miss Mary Lightner, 3rd; John Robert Heath, 5th; Miss Louise McNeal, today--7th; Jimmy Hogg, 8th; Eddie Heath, 9th; E.C. Heath, 11th. PUT THE PAPER IN THE CAR WHERE IT BELONGS An Americus man inadvertently placed his groceries and a newspaper in the rear seat of an Ellaville man's car. The local man's friend noticed the mistake, and mentioned it. Said the Ellaville man: "Put the paper in the car where it belongs." AND THERE THEY WERE An Ellaville woman couldn't find her false teeth one morning this week. She called the entire family to help her. Finally, someone had an idea. He was right. She found them--in her mouth. But the story wasn't so unusual after all. As the tale spread, she learned other people with false teeth had had the same experience. SPIRITED MATCHES ARE CARDED FOR BOXING PROGRAM THURSDAY NIGHT Interest Is Mounting In Second Ring Show An array of spirited matches await spectators at Ellaville's second program of amateur boxing next Thursday night, July 13. The show will be staged at Schley county high school gymnasium at 8 o'clock. Originally scheduled for last night, the card was postponed for a week when a doctor forbade "Possum" Gill, Ellaville fighter, to appear because of an eye injury. Already cut before he entered the ring, the injury was aggravated during Gill's match two weeks ago. Considerable interest is being shown in Gill's return engagement with B.J. Young, Newnan city champion, whom he mowed down in the initial card June 22. "Possum" forced the battling all the way and never encountered danger, but the Newnan boxer showed fine promise and revealed much skill. Young's trainer blamed failure to round into condition for his poor showing. A major bout will send Dick Saunders of Montezuma, standout fighter at the University of Georgia, against J.C. (Windmill) Roberts of Ocilla, Southeastern Golden Gloves champion. Roberts pleased the fans two weeks ago when he outpointed Dallas Myrick, crack Fort Benning 165 pounder. Carl Hobbs, whom some of the boys have nicknamed "Dynamite," faces Wendell Windham of Butler in the 135 pound division. Hobbs put on a slashing performance to conquer Adams of Americus on the first card. Wanzie Hambrick of Ellaville will meet Buford Taylor of Ideal in the 140 pound class and G.C. (Lefty) Spillers of Butler will swap blows with William Poole of Ellaville in the 150 pound division. Hinkle Hambrick of Ellaville will face Jack Gilchrist of Thomaston in the 116 pound class. Jack is well known in Schley county, having been a frequent visitor. Buddy Fulford, scrappy 75 pounder who entered the ring between fights two weeks ago to announce a public challenge to anyone in his weight class, will battle James O'Hearn of Americus. James Gregory of Ellaville will tackle Junior O'Hearn of Americus in the 125 pound class. Billy Williams of Ellaville will meet a yet unchosen foe from Americus. Popular prices of 25 and 15 cents will prevail. MARINES WILL TAKE 25 RECRUITS IN JULY During July, 25 men will be accepted for enlistment in the United States Marine Corps from this area, of which Macon is headquarters, it has been announced by Lt.

EFFECTIVE FIRST AID COUNTERS SNAKE BITE Effective bleeding of the wound and application of a tourniquet checked the seriousness of a rattlesnake bite on the hand suffered by U.A. Jackson, Schley county farmer living in Ebenezer community, near his home early Tuesday morning. Reaching his home soon after the accident, Jackson was forced to drive his truck to Ellaville to obtain medical aid. He became too ill to drive and was compelled to stop after going several miles. A neighbor, Henry Sims, passed and brought him to town for injection of a serum. A doctor said Jackson would recover. CONCORD NEWS Friends of the G.E. Phillips family are in sympathy with them in the death of Mr. Cleve Phillips, whose death occurred suddenly at his home near Buena Vista Thursday morning.
