THE ZEBULON RECORD, ZEBULON, NORTH CA ROLINA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21,1938 Ru4h Comfort Mitchell- Home-coming Danas always paid prompt respect to the matriarch. Sally Ann Dana, constant traveler and occasional author, would not even stop for her casual unpacking before she made her devoirs to the ancient head of her tribe. “Mercy! Not ninety-six! Not real ly? 1 have the feeling that I must dash over there —that she may be gone any minute!” “No! no! She is quite marvelously well, our precious little pioneer,” Aunt Helena said. “But she has longed to see you.” Sally Ann Dana came near to her great . grandmother’s place and stood still to appreciate it, but the narrow front door opened suddenly and the old woman popped out. “Sally Ann! And here you be, safter traipsing the wide world over!” she chirped. “Come in! Sal ly Ann! My land! M, third daugh ter Molly’s boy WalLe's girl! And I know more’n that!” She peered up at her sharply. “You’re one a’ the dark ones. Like me, and like a’ many that went before on my moth er’s side of the house.” The traveler followed her into the tiny prim parlor with its marble topped center table and the hair flowers framed on the wall. “Yes, I dare say I am, Great-granny, and proud of it.” “ ’Course you are. Every last one of us is, always. We have what folks call get-up-and-get. Just nat urally up’n put out from wherever we’re at, north, south, east, west, land or sea. Made that way, some how.” She gave an elfin chuckle. “Queer! There’ll be pinky-white, blue-eyed babies, tow-headed, till you can’t rest—litters of ’em, and then all of a sudden, like a fly in a pan a’ milk, comes a dark one. Set and rest you, Sally Ann! Me, now, I headed west.” “I know you did —and aren’t we glad and grateful?” "Wild to pioneer, I was; sick a’ Sunday school and sewing samplers, but my folks wouldn’t stir. So I just up’n went! Tied up a few things and my Bible in my old plaid shawl and sneaked out after the folks was fast asleep, and walked the seven mile and crawled into one a’ the covered wagons and played possum till he was well under way. There was a preacher among ’em, and the day I Iwas fifteen he married me to Hank Dana.” “But —Great-granny—wasn’t that why you ran away? Why you went? Weren’t you in love with Great grandfather?” The ancestress stared and shook her head. “Never laid eyes on him “You’re one a’ the dark ones.” till we was a week or more on the way.” Sally Ann laughed. “And all these years I’ve been nourished on that tender romance!” “Guess some a’ the grand-girls from the East made that up,” the old woman said shrewdly. “Really? Great-granny, I wonder if you'd give me a cup of tea?” “Not this time a’ day, I wouldn’t,” the old woman said firmly. “I never held with piecing between meals. But Lynn, he’s got a lunch waiting for you upstairs, and I guess likely he’s wondering where you are.” She stepped quickly to the foot of the narrow, precipitous flight and called up: “Oh, Lynn? Comp'ny coming!” “Fine!” came an answering mas culine hail. “Yo ho, Sally Ann! Send her up—fast!” The returned traveler laughed aloud, gladly. “I’ll see you again, Great-granny, darling. It’s been so nice to —” “Yes. I want to tell you about Sairy Lynn, young Ed’s girl. He married a smart woman from De troit; toney and determined. Well, she’s a thin, dark, close-mouthed young-one, odder’n Adam's off ox. Minute I clapped eyes on her in the cradle, I knew. ‘Well, Adelaide, you got one a’ the queer ones,’ I says, and it made her madder’n a wet hen. But it’s true; you’ll see. Say, mebbe you’ll take her off with you when you go? She’d admire to put out somewheres, Sairy Lynn would.” Sally Ann shook her head. “Mer cy, no, Great-granny! I’m the last person—l know nothing about chil dren, and, besides, I’m alone and love it! I’m a lone wolf.” The ancestress regarded her gravely out of her bright, sunken eyes. “We’re all lone wolves, us dark ones. Looks like we ought to run together. That young-one ought to get away, Sally Ann!” Sally Ann laughed. “She will, if she’s any good. Didn’t I?” (Continued Next Week) NOTICE OF SALE OF REAL PROPERTY Under and by virtue of the pow ers contained in a certain Judg ment of the Superior Court of Wake County, North Carolina, en tered in an action therein pending entitled The Town of Zebulon Vs.
