Pinkie Durham Wins
The Bernice Drug Co. conducted a beauty contest at their place of business last Friday afternoon from 5 o’clock till 8. Several candidates were in the race, but, Mr. Pinkle Durham, defeated the other candidates in a wicked way — facts are, he out stripped them so badly that we refrain from even mentioning their names.
