Rev. Davis Writes J Again n ? 1 1 South of Lou}sburg near theji old RaleigMJpStl presently to be the new Raleigh road, one mile i therefrom to the Easti and four . , miles from town there is a fine ] country seat fromerly known as ( Casclne. For years and up to the memory of many now Hying it) i was the property and the home of ; the Perry family or that portion , thereof headed by Dr. Sid Perry ? , full name Algernon Sidney ? who with his wife Leah Hilliard of { , -Nash lived there in the memory ! of some now living. Dr. (Perry ] and his brother Dr. Wylie Perry who lived in Louisburg were med- j , leal practitioners in Franklin -as much as 100 years ago and gave , quinine and blue mass over half > . the county when scarcely one of!, their patients had ever even heard i of a hospital. This flne"old house < was completed in 1859, being built of the finest timber all of, wlilch was secured from this large Estate. Close by is the old home of the family known to have been standing and occupied as far back at 1775. A fine write-up of these two houses with beautiful illus-< tratlons, the spacious grove and , the pond with its lilies appeared j in Country Homes Magazine in , 1924. While I write this espec-1 ially about this beautiful historic site I feel impelled to say more about the family. With those of us who remember lb is impossible and will ever be for us to deso-> elate them. It is and ever will be the Perry place and not far away the Perry Mill with its pond and i bridge, t'he whole place the Scene of so m&ny delightful picnics. Sunday School and others. The Perry name is one of the most fa miliar and the family in its num erous connections One of the most extensive in the county. I suspect lhat more people, white and col-' ored, answer to that name in Franklin than to auy other, not' even excepting the Smiths. I have it on the best authority that this particular branch of that tree is right in line wiMi that estimate. As witness this. Dr. Sid Perry was one of ten children, he the young est, his wife Leah Hilliard Perry was one of ten children, she the youngest. The one who told me this their child, Mrs. Dr. Nichol son, nee Genevieve Perry, was one ot fourteen children, she the youngest and sole survivor. Mrs. Perry's name is perpetuated in,, thati community in Leah's Metho-' dist Church, it being named for her. She and the family having donated the lot and what else I know not, Miough none of them > was ever a member .U'ere. This, family will ever stand out in my1 memory for its generous hospital ity and unfa'iling kindess. I shall ever remember a wedding recep tion. I attended there in the early 80s o'f the last eCntury and char acterised -by freedom, cordiality ( and entire. absence of formality. In -Vbese respects and others how different from some as you may see them now. There was no in vitation for you from 8 to ?:30, no receiving line, no punch room, no coffee room, no ice.cream room with a few concomitants, and t lien gave hat' and overcoat at the front j door and as the door opeHed to you you met your neighbors who I were to come from 8:30 to 9. none" of that, the day for that- Jiad not ( , then dawned. We were still In; another day though Its sun was drawing towards its setting. Hos pitality was evidenced everywhere from the glowing features, wel- 1 coming words and cordial hand shake of those who met you at the door to t'he smiling countenances of the army of colored men and boys who took cave of the horses and suitably parked them in that ; spacious grove. Hospitality ? you ; might call It ante bellam, South- j ern, country or w'hat you please but It was t'he genuine article. The crowning feature' Of that delight ful occasion was that bountiful aupper wIMi its groaning table at : which all sat though the guests | could not have beeu fewer than < ? loh. I cannot record every item In this menu, but two, J remember well, the turkey, and what lavish helpings there were, and the silla- , bub. If you know what I mean, the ' flavoring for which, pure apple, , horseappie and wlnesap was made on the place and ati that time was] more than twenty years old. The H . aame competent authority men tioned above told me that she still baa some of that flavoring and | that the exact date of its making right there on the place was 1864. The presiding genius over that gathering and other similar ones whose generosity and well known hospitality were largely responsi- ? ble for It was none other tver the many thousand acres of lis family possessions. He under took to acquaint me with his mys tic art. It was a dismal failure. How he did it remains a mystery to me yet. I well remember his flrst effort ? my first lesson. Wei were living at what is now known : as t'he Herbert Harris place. He . :ame down there garbed in his ? hunting togs, riding a horse, ac-| coinpanied by a colored man rid ing another horse and leading a third. He asked as to my gun. I brought out my father's old Dunn & Spencer muzzle loader, bellum and ante bellum as to age. He ? ruled that out on sight and order ed the colored man to bring the gun strapped to his saddle which he handed me ? t'he flrst breech I loader I ever handled and endeav ored to use. He directed fhat col ored man to take the horses to a certain place a mile or so away . Baying that after we had hunted Dver a certain territory we would meet hhn there, which we did. Then mounting our steeds we went to other lelds. Dismounting there he told his horseman to take the horses to a certain Spring, the' Blue Spring, I believe he called it. to leave two of them there well tied and on the third to go to the house and get the dinner and that we would meet him there at one o'clock which we did after hunt ing over what seemed to nie a whole township. That one o'clock meeting at this Spring was to me by far the most delightful feature of that day's hunt. The order of the hunt was about this ? when the dog came to a stand which he frequently did, as there was abun dance of game at that time, Mr. Perry would tell me how to pro ceed, giving me every advantage every time, then we would fire simultaneously and Svery time just one bird would fall. One time he would say "J got that que" and he next "You Trot that airaT Throughout ttyat -whole difys' hunt it was just that way ? never but one. I do not know whether or not Mr. Perry expected me to be- ^ lieve his count in my own mind I am Sure that 110 flying partridge of that day or any other da>* call at any future reckoning shake its gory locks, I mean feathers, at me and say I did it.

MY OPINION (By Boswell Bowdeu) Whati we farmers 01 franklin i need is a small packing and can ning plant. The packing plant ; could be used so that any farmer that wanted to kill a. cow, hog or jany kind of livestock, he could 1 kill it> and bring it into the pack ing plant where it could be packed and shipped or sold to the Merch ants of Louisburg. This could be done in summer as well as winter, because the meat would be kept cold at the packing plant. Another section of the playt could be used to pack dry peas, potatoes or any other crop the THINK! ? I HAVE MUINJoYI ?

But by having this packing house they could be I brought iu as soon as they are 1 harvest in the fall to be packed and shipped to targe citys like Chicago and New York where there is a ready market through out the year.
