August thirteen foretold in Beckley column
Today in Beckley by Harold M. Riffe blends superstition with local gripe and local color. He notes Friday the thirteenth brings ill fortune yet cites humor around a September 30 look around night and upcoming events. He mentions Monell alloy rings and praises local Deem’s store while joking about watch mileage and esprit de corps.
