McMullan Street By Murrell Smith In the lemon tinges of early morning the street is like a splendid cath edral; golden autumn and a wearied sun turns the early morning street into a temple of tur quoise and emeralds. Well-dressed little boys and girls are off to school as the rising sun turns their blue and gray garments yellow women home from the mill are dipping chunks of biscuits into their coffee. The new day after first carrying us off and dazzling us turns raw and misty with a gray chill and a smell of rain in the air. The whistle from the cot ton mill cries a long wail; inside or outside everyone moves quickly. Some are going to the mill fresh from a good night’s sleep; those that have worked all night trod home on suffering legs. A little further up the street from the cotton mill office a plump, well fed woman with red cheeks and short crink ly hair with loose strands and bare feet watched the flow of traf fic. And the walking of people day in and day out always the same, sitting on the front porch tending to every body’s business—year af ter year. The working conditions had brought many up from the country and up from the ground and all of them are proud of their sweat. Over the years many things had happened like the sun curled under a dark cloth, but the warm rays from Mr. McMul lan’s face flows from his eyes and gray hair. In the distance long steel rails pass. In ourselves the circling of years are running, running over us like the I licking of shore with a § watery tongue. I long once more for pink I young girls and beautiful! surrounding. I reflect the memories on I our street, the chanting I of roosters and the yap- I ping of dogs, the noisy I trucks and the comers I of houses, on the roofs of I our silvery warm houses I looms the big windows I of the cotton mill reflect- I ing tatters of light upon | the street and the glow-1 ing rooftops that dot the I street. | The endearing beautiful I sun under the same en-l dealing sky lying at my feet with gifts of gold tells me customs of old will still be observed, people that have fallen will rise again, people that have strayed will re turn again. Nowadays during the calm dust we sit near our windows and watch the mist on the elm trees or the fancies that come in our souls. The mill village church on McMulian Street is en folded in a new garment of bricks and a new roof overlapping in dark pebbly shingles. Every Sunday people keep coming and coining until there’s not enough room to turn around in, and Rev. Alexander’s voice fills the whole village. On our street there’s not enough thanks for Mr. McMullan. No person could write, no one could tell—gratefulness. The swirling of rain, sleet, heat and snow beats down upon our street ly ing in a beautiful sil houette of elms. X remember the homecon- Jj NEW EAGLE SCOUT—Mrs. H. C.
