Again

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 t<han
Jers Perry, a thoroughly familiar ,
name in the County forty years
ago. So far as I know he never
held or fought office of any sort
jrat no name was more familiar
'in the County than his and few If
' any had more friends than he. He
waa a great hupter, a\ modern ,
Nlmrod, an adept who ofiuld and <
did bring down tha fljrtn*blr4 as -
sssOy ?hooting from th? &ip, or ll
tka back of bia horse as when I
mora deliberately be fired fr&m I
tfea aboalder. It waa bia delight foi
take fiieida and visitors bnntlngjP
>ver 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

farmer wishes to raise^o sell. Thei
reason tbat we don't raise these
crops now is because we don't
have a market for them until the
spring whefi farmers start plant
ing another crop. 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.
A third section of the plant!
could be used for t-he canning
plant to take care of all the extra
vegetables t-hat we have and doai't
need, this plant would keep us
from losing our extra fruit and
vegetables. Give us food for win
ter and give jobs to a lot of peo
ple in Franklin County.' ??
These plants could be owned
and controlled by the government
and run on a cash basis or for a
percent of the goods to be turn
over tio the relief. Or they could
be owned and controlled by the
farmers of Franklin County and
the percent of goods that is
ceived could be sold to ob
money to run the plant on.

Careful, skillful and intelligent' guidance aftd advice for

the sounder business method and most Natural trend for
a Healthier, Stronger both mentally and physically, and
Active Human Body. ?
The Nat-ural System of Health ? CHIROPRACTIC ? is
the most logical and sounder business means of obtaining
this guidance and care. The trouble is that "it is only the
intelligent individual who is adept at planning that under
stands the Importance of regular physical examination to
prevent sickness." Most people wait until- ttoey are sick
before consulting Doctors about their healtih. Even though,
they are those intelligent individuals, many times Miey
neglect their Health due to t-he rush of business or hurried
living of our present day life.
The splendid results in the cases of periodic check-up more
than justify the few minutes and small cost. Proper and
skilled advice and teachings from a Dactor well trained and ?
experienced in NATURAL HEALTH CARE, as your Doctor ,
of Chiropractic, is worth far more than tihe small pecuniary
expenditure involved.
ASK YOURSELF THIS ?
"Am I neglecting my spinal and physical examination?" X
"Am I neglecting the proper daily care of my Health?" T
"Do 1 really know how to care for my Health properly?"
REMEMBER THIS ?
