Rumor has it that Jerry Bowles is practising with "Sampson's Happy Pals". What's that? Did I hear someone say that he likes suspense? Here's a bit. We are not telling you where Mr. Bowles bought the instrument, or what kind it is, or how much it cost, but we will say that we expect him to make his debut soon. If you do not wish to miss this treat, you had better follow "Sampson's Happy Pals" around the town.

"Ike" Jones formerly of Union University, more recently a bell hop at a local hotel, spent Sunday afternoon with his brother "Zeke" of Page Street. Zeke's quite a singer but Ike's keeping his talent hidden--for the time being at least.

While passing thru the heights one day, I heard someone tickling the Ivories with a creditable amount of rhythm. Upon investigation, I found it no other than "Kid Blake", formerly known as Mr. Charles Blakey. If every one could get what that boy can get out of Ivory, few elephants would live to be a 100 years old. He's got plenty of variety too. He's as good a first baseman as ever kicked a sack. He's ideal in domestic life. It wasn't told to me, but I heard he's writing a song.

Rumors are that Henry Cosby who responds to the call "rack 'em back" at Jackson's pool room is very fond of creasy salad. Ha! Ha! Is that so Henry?

Well, the old town'll soon be deserted. That is, parially. The college bells will soon be ringing. In fact, school opens here pretty soon. Someone's always taking the joy out'a life. For the benefit of the beginners, I won't say when the sad day arrives. What's that? Did I see a tear in someone's eye? Keep your head up young man. It pays to be prepared. Going to school is the only way.-- --The mysterious voice speaking. Well, I'll be seeing you.
