TAFTVILLE No longer will it be necessary to employ water boys at the Ponemah Mills as has been done since the mill Wwas built. It has been a common cight to see a boy or man leave the mill with two pails slung from a yoke across their shoulders, go to the old “Town Pump” and fill them. The “Old Town Pump” is now connected with the mill and there is running water all the time. Sanitary drink- in® fountains have been installed throughout the mill, a feature that is greatly enjoyed by the employes as it gives ‘them a chance to get a good coldsdrink of water at any timé. idle Moments in The Village— “Affican Golf.” The cube craze or what is more commonly known as that famous southern game of shoot- has turplanted the time-honored game of poker. On most any after- noon and especially on Sundays one may see a group of young men and boys in devout kneelinz postures around a blanket in the old sand lot ardently (-aving to “Old Lady Luck” to make nosc “Galloping Dominoes” tirn un a seven or eleven. - One not familiar with the game would be entifely in the dark from «ll they could gather from the remarks that are uttered in such an appealing and imploring tone of voice. “Come home 10 papa, ‘Lil Joe. v away - from home. 'Hit ’ém seven, on’t fail me now ‘ome, you great ‘big natural 1 need you now.” “Read 'em and weep” are the exclamations that proceed from the group gathered about the blanket. The game contin- ues: until the majority of the party go broke or an officer of the law hails in sight, which is very seldom and then the party moves to different sur- roundings.
