I f 6YAL i An aunt of ours is visiting us and the other evening at supper (dinner to you), we got to asking her about the fam ily tree, she having a better grasp of its various limbs and branches than we. Starting with our own grandparents, her parents, headed back and went on until she came to a Cpl. Rams* a couple of greats or so uncle of ours. Col. Ramseur, i was killed in the Revolutionary war by Tories, and is bu in the town of Ramseur, which* was named for him, we under stand Well, suh, we felt kinda proud of Colonel Ramseur, suh, never having taken much interest in our ancestors for fear of what we might find on the way, and we came back to the office and proudly announced to Howard Windsor that we had ancestors. He gave us a kinda bored look and said, "Haven't we all?" Well, suh, to get right down to brass tacks, we guess we have and it looks as if the boy might have something there.

THIS AND THAT given it much thought, b chances are most everybody has ancestors, with some of the more blue blooded running right on back to Adam. Mattie Mae Powell happened to be out at home when we were discussing Colonel Ramseur, suh, and she remarked that Paul Gwyn has a list of the Qwyn family run ning right smack on back to Ad am. It's right interesting to look at, she said, and goes to show that Mr. Gwyn has ancestors what are ancestors. However, what we can't figure out is how whoever did all the tracing back' got through the flood. But then, maybe Uncle Noah, suh, carried a couple of copies of Paul's family tree into the ark. But all kidding aside, ancestors are nice to have so long as they sort of keep in the background. For instance, you take that old uncle of ours who choked to death. We don't know whether they found the horse on him or him on the horse, but it would be quite embarrassing for him to turn up some bright sunny morning, horse and all. T It's with this thought In pilnd that we keep all the closet doors locked at home and are hoping sometime to build us a house that has no closets at all. Hien the family skeleton, instead of al ways popping out when we go to hunt our other pair of pants, wouldn't have anywhere to stay and would have to take up resi dence elsewhere. When people get to talking about ancestors, one naturally gets on back to the Mayflower. The Mayflower was a good old boat, and without a doubt brought over the ancestors of a large num ber of people, but if it brought over all the ancestors claimed for it, it must have run on a regular excursion schedule. As for our ancestors, they waded over. That is, with the exception of Uncle Zack. He didn't like the idea of getting his feet wet, so he didn't come at all. And when he 'got out, he was too old to make the trip,.. The one risky thing of chasing back among your ancestors is the chance of having other people claim kin with you. Our policy is let sleeping ancestors lie and quit lying about your sleeping an cestors, if you get what we mean. But we can't help feel proud of some of the old boys who went before us. All were of fighting stock. Colonel Ramseur, suh, for instance, was killed in the Revo lutionary war. Uncle Bud was wounded in the Civil war. Uncle Pete died with the mumps during the War of 1812, and uncle Fitzzt was captured by cannibals. It ended up by Uncle Fitzzt eating his captors, which proved so dis concerting to all the other canni bals of the section that they went on such a strict vegetable diet that the whole flock of them went to seed. (Editor's note: Uncle Fitzzt is pronounced as follows: "Uncle" as in uncle; Fitzzt as "Fitz", "zzt," Fitz-zitt.) We hope we are not boring you with this exciting account of our forbears, but we feel it really does one good to delve back into the dim and distant past on occasion. This is the occasion. You must tell us about your an cestors sometime.
