Danger- Beware of
Dangerous Men In
Mayberry
By Miguel Manio

The sheriff has issued a

warning throughout the whole town
about 3 dangerous men. They would
be disguised as normal people and
would likely be seeking employment.
They seem friendly and helpful but
one must stay away from them. They

shadow on that there moon, making it glow dark red like Ol’ Otis’s
red cheeks after he’d been drinking all night. It will start around
midnight. About the same time the moonshiners will start heading
out to the woods to check on their stills. You can always smell a
moonshiner coming, cause that moonshine sticks to their
mustache. Sheriff Andy and Deputy Barnie have asked our dear
Mayberry community to keep your sniffers sniffin’ tonight. While
you check out the moon’s lunar eclipse, keep you eyes and nose

Bear in the Bar!

By Jenna Miller
Ol’ Otis has spotted a bear, and boy
is he upset about where this bear had
decided to set up. Otis went in for his
daily morning drink when there he walked
into the bar and a bear was sitting on his
favorite bar stool. How could it be?
Where did this bear come from? Ol’ Otis
even said the bear was drinking a beer!
Now that last fact has yet to be
confirmed, but it is confirmed there is a
bear in the bar. Townspeople need to be
aware, and stay away from the bar until
the officials can come take care of this
problem. It seems as though the bear has
just strayed a little too far from home. So
stay in your house until it is confirmed
the city is safe and the bear  h as made it
back home.

Haunted House In Mayberry

By Teesha McCarver

There has been many rumors going around about the home on Spirit Street being haunted. There home is
currently vacant because nobody wants to reside in it. There have been reports of objects moving, disembodied voices,
and mysterious figures walking the halls. The last residents left in a hurry. There have been rumors that most of their
furniture is still in the home. A famous ghost hunting team is planning on buying the home, and plans on turning the
haunted house into a tourist attraction. They plan to remodel the home with an eerie, and old/antique theme. The
company plans to have the haunted house remodel finished by the end of summer, and tours will begin in fall. Anyone
brave enough to enter (over the age of 17 for night tours, and over the age of 12 during the day) is more than welcome to
tour this house when it is open, There are reports that sleeping over night will be available. For a hefty fee of course!
Don't forget your Depends!

The Mayberry Pie

Festival
By Hannah Comroe

The verdict
is in at the annual
Mayberry Berry
Festival Pie
Contest. As
expected, Aunt Bee organized
a fun and thrilling event. Ms. Helen Crump humbly
took her second place ribbon behind the unexpected
blue ribbon pie made by Mr. Rafe Hollister! It could
be the extra something special he put in his pie that
made the judges tipsy and giggly and happy to vote
his direction. However this reporter had the chance
to steal a taste of the Triple Berry Trouble Maker Pie
that stole the show, and in my opinion it was
definitely the freshness of the berries that made it
drool worthy. The real question is… did the Pie
Eating Contest contestants hold their liquor long
enough to beat out their opponents? Mr. Hollister
didn’t hold back on the “Trouble Maker” in his pie,
that is for sure! Luckily, the winner of the Pie Eating
Contest this year was used to sampling Rafe’s wares.
Otis Campbell will be wearing his gold medal as he
sleeps off that delicious pie.
