Woman Talk
By EMILY COSTELW
Somehow It didn't
?r you arrived In ? new ear or mi
A-model , or whether you
wearing a tailor made suit or over
alls?it was homecoming up at
HamtKoo Memorial Methodist
Church last Sunday. Everyone
was the same?and everyone was
happily reminiscent about "the old
days"
And it's the same all over the
county during May and part of
June when local churches have
their annual homecoming and dec
oration services with dinner on the
grounds.
I Just mentioned Hampton Memor
ial, because that's where we went
Sunday, on the invitation of Mr.
Baxter Hampton?who was "Uncle
Baxter" to most of the folks pres
ent at the-homecoming.
If you don't know where Hamp-'
ton Church is, I'm certainly not
going to try to tell you, because
I'm not even sure I know myself.
But, anyhow, most of the way there
you think "why on earth would any
one put a church way up there?"
but when you arrive at the church
you know why.
It's really a lovely spot nested |
on the summit of a Mil. The church j
members are particularly proud of
their cemetery with its smooth
rich green lawn. And, in case you'
ve never been to a "decoration",
the women bring large boxes of
flowers from their gardens and
everyone walks through the ceme
tery, the children, too, and scatter
flowers on each of the graves
?with a special bouquet for their
own loved ones.
I'm not one for living in the
past, but neither am I totally a
"Let the dead bnry their dead"
sort of person, and I think this
annual remembrance of former
friends is a very lovely, thought
ful gesture?and I'm all for de
corations and dinner on the
grounds!
I wish I could tell you who all
was there, but I just delare, I don't
know. Anyhow the Hamptons, the
Jones, the Lockabys and a few oth
er family names just about made
up the crowd.
The Shields families also went
to a decoration Sunday, but I
don't remember their church. But
afterward, most of them gathered
round at the E. L. Shields' for a
family get-together.
By the way, if you town churches
notice your Sunday School atten
dance falling off, some of the ab
sences can be attributed to these
gatherings at the country churches.
COME CLEAN
And to go on from something
pretty to something ugly, I want
to join with the Regal Club in ex
pressing disgust at spitters. Of
course, you can't say don't spit,
when certain ugly habits, common
ly practiced, require spitting. But
inside the courthouse, on the court
house steps and along the sidewalks
is not the place to spit.
The Regal Club is going to "do
something" about trying to keep
our pretty town clean, but they
can't do it alone. Please, please,
help us to encourage everyone to
put trash in the trash cans pro
vided on the streets and to kepp
our own premises clean.
The pretty new store fronts hape
really livened up the town, and
they would make even more im
pression if the sidewalks were
clean. I think a miraculous change
could be brought .about If mer
chants saw to the scrubbing of the
sidewalk in front of their stores
just once a week.
IN FINLAND
I read a very interesting letter
sent to MRS. BEN WARNER by her
sister LUCY MORGAN who is now
visiting in Europe?particularly
the Scandinavian countries and
Switzerland. She Is observing craft
work in these countries. (Miss Mor
gan has a school 6f handicrafts at
Penland, near Spruce Pine.)
She is now one of a p arty of 10
and has recently returned to Switz
erland from a trip to Finland. She
found the Finnish people particu
larly friendly, she said, and enjoy
ed many lavish Smofgsbord meals,
in addition to trips to the handcraft
schools. In fact, her closely, written
6 page letter was Just chockablock
with activities enjoyed on her 7
days in Finland.
NOW HEAR THIS!

MR. AND MRS. H. L. McKEEVER

JOE ABERNATHY of Hanging
dog was saying the other day that
he has killed his first rattlesnake
of the season one with 9 rattles.
But a relative of his has killed a
rattler with 8 rattles and "the big
gest copperhead he ever saw". But
I'm like MARGARET ELLIS. I'd
just as soon go the whole summer
without an encounter with a snake. |
REMEMBER WHEN?
MRS. PEARL L. ROBERTS
brought In an old Cherokee Scout
the other day, dating back to April
14, 1903. The paper contained ad
vertisements of shoes gl and $1.75
a pair, gingham goods at 10c a
yard, and there was a story of
someone building a 10 room house
at the cost of $1,500.
JUDY SNEED received an A
plus, plus, plus on her history of
Cherokee County submitted to
her 8th grade teacher BILLY Me
FALLS. And I know the book
made up is very lovely, for I
"seen it when she done it."
