Youth Shot in Play Worries Cool Ridge District
A 19 year old Cool Ridge youth was shot by a 14 year old friend on New Year’s Day in the Cool Ridge post office incident. The wound to Willie Williams’s side is not life threatening and Major Lilly says it was an accident as four youths had been shooting a 22 caliber rifle outside before entering the store. Williams says Lilly was “always playing with the pistol” and did not expect it to fire. State police said they will investigate though no report has been filed yet.

Furniture Men Set for Record Chicago Furniture Mart Session
C L Bibb and E Ray Bailey of Beckley Hardware and Supply leave for Chicago to attend the semi annual American Furniture mart showing. They expect attendance to surpass 10 000 representatives from across the country and emphasize the value of viewing all new home furnishings in person.
