I Dear Editor:—l have been trying for a long time to try to think of something of interest to write to the Record that would interest the read ers. I can think of nothing better than the interesting old times of fifty years ago.. I am in my sixty-fifth year and can well remember for fifty years. I do not know your age, Mr. Editor, have never seen your face. It may be that you have experienced as much as I have in your past life. If you have, I hope you have never had to carry railroad sills for fifty yards to a wag on and then haul them from three to five miles to get them to market. { Fifty years ago when I was leam | ing to play the violin, my old mother ! was weaving on the old-fashioned loom and the most of the time at night. I would keep her quills filled for her on an old spinning wheel, and when I had filled her enough for awhile, I would get my fiddle and tune it and saw on it until I got to where I could play the old tune “Old Dan Tucker” and I felt like I was almost the best fiddler in Chat ham county. One can imagine how a young fellow feels when he has done something like this. Times have changed so much since those good old days, that nothing seems as it did then. Mr. Editor, if our forefathers could come back to this old mother earth and see the changes made, what do you and all The Record readers think they would say. I belive that the many changes that have taken place, that they would not believe it was the same old place they once lived in. We are thankful to God that the many changes that have been made are for the better than it was fifty years ago. Mr. Editor, you have my best wish • es for sending us such a good paper from the county where things are in teresting to us. W. P. FARRELL. Haw River, Dec. 7, 1923.

The exact location of this spot, ac cording to the report, was 3 miles southwest by south of Mount Vernon Springs in Chatham county.
