This is Saturday night and we’ve only been home from Bea con's outing at the recreation park a few hours. The first thing we did was to lav down for a good rest, although the most strenuous thing we did was to meet a lot of friends and neighbors, and eat a most delicious supper. My sweet granddaughter, Connie Taylor, and her friend, Regina Stafford, went with us. We saw them once dur ing the afternoon. As 1 say we saw so manv people we knew, in cluding ve fat and benign olde editor, his charming wife, and lively bovs. We watched the young folks skate a long time, Walker Mundy’s wife (she is from De troit) skates with jaunty grace and beauty, she was the best we saw. When we went up the hill to eat supper we found vacant places at a long table under an open shed, and had the good for tune to sit down with the families of Bud Pruett of Bee Tree, and Lum Lytle of Fairview. These two fellows are rollicking third shifters that Minnie and I worked with some years ago. Our meal was spiced heavily with sparkling repartee. The guys were drinking regular homogenized milk, and 1 thought all the time they were on a died of “wild moose milk.” I was discussing this expensive outing that Beacon treats its work ers to each year with someone and we agreed that this company had done a lot for this country. Hundreds of children milled by as Black Swan DAIRY BAR Opposite Swannanoa VA HOSPITAL • Sandwiches • Ice Cream and Milk Shakes where extra attention GOOD GROOMING s STARTS HERE c V You’re groomed when a we regularly keep R your hair in trim. y ACME : Barber Shop 117 Broadway — Dial 5411 Black Mountain we talked, the livelihood of th majority of them depends on thi factory." I remember when th land where the mill now stand was a tomato patch and I haule lumber by there to the Swannnno station. Beacon started gradini about ’23, or ’24. 1 had only rc cently gotten married, I had team of mules and got a job pull ing a drag | an, this is the mos tiresome, monotonous work tha one can imagine — just aroum and around in an endless circle the loader jerking the handle back and scooping up the earth the dumper pouring it out on th< grade. One of my mules woul< kick if he got his foot out of th< traces, and I had to watch for thi: constantly. In a tedious job liki this, my imagination ran awa; with me. As I clucked to mj mules I could picture my erst while courting rivals driving pas our house in shiny T-Model Fords blowing their loud Klaxon horn: to attract my young wife’s atten tion, and remind her that sh( might be riding in this luxury, in stead of waiting for a mule-skin ner. We worked 10 hours and then bad to drive the stock miles to a barn. It would be after dark when we got home—not much time left for love-making. The wheel scrapers or “wheel ers” as we called them took a much larger bite of earth and hauled it to a more distant dump. Being bigger equipment they re quired heavier stock, and a snatch team was hooked in the lead when they were loaded. A brawny young Negro done the loading, it was a real man’s job. I remember w'hen we were paid at noon on Saturday he would look around and say in a loud voice: “I want to see some thing in a bottle.” He probably played as hard as he worked. What I wanted was to feel the circling arms, and moist lips of a certain young woman. I think I held out on the job for tw-o weeks and then went back to the farm, The Fred Shooks had to go to Canton last Wednesday night, sc we were charmed to have Bettv Jean for a supper guest. Sh< brought her home work along ant it reminded me so much of day: now gone when our own girl were pouring over books in th late afternoon. Later we went t our usual choir practice. We offer deepest sympathy t all the descendants of Mrs. Sara White. Many of these are ver near to us. The W. M. U. circle will meet a the home of Mrs. Eugene Ryr this Friday night at 7:30 o’clocl This is Sunday night and w have just got home from th Grovestone homecoming (after i ' number of delays along the way7 which we attended after our owi church services. We arrived jus as the succulent food was being spread on the tables. We never got much farther than the table of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Fox, I did get a piece of cocoanut cake from the Pressley’s table. Mrs. Carie Pressley asked after the welfare of Oscar, the gander. Soon after linner the afternoon song service rot under way under the direc ion of Ray Vess, song leader down here. Of course we joined in the inging, our accompanist never rent with us, but we had the leasure of singing with Mrs. Ray ess’s playing. There was a very ood program, and we enjoyed it great deal. Those folks can eallv sing gospel songs. We brought Mrs. Annie Good on by her home from the liome oming and stopped for a little hile. We went into her vineyard nd picked a bagful of luscious rapes and apples from the orch rd. She showed us the smoke ouse that is built of the lumber rom the old original North Fork laptist church, where many of mr forefathers worshipped. Mrs. Joodson has a peaceful, old-fash oned place. We want to go back sometime this fall. We went on to Thad Rurnette’s place. Thad has been laid up for 10 days from an injured foot that The Cardinals were a powerful group and had a strong voice of the Be aeon Little league this past summer.
