Abstract:
Local stories told from the past include a Dokie Ceremony held in May 1923 in Ayden and an effort to recruit Babe Ruth to be the manager of the Greenville baseball club. Other gleanings from the past are the cleanest man and the sleepiest man to hold office; the invention of a \"Spectro - speedometer\" by D.A. Windham of Greenville; a lost diamond found in a chicken gizzard, and the difference in telephone rates in area towns.
