Two EARPSBORO Writer Cites History Os Charlie Parrish Since July 22, 1918 Charlie Parrish remembers July 22, 1918, with vivid clarity. Besides the heat registering in the nineties, it was also the day he was inducted into the army. The late Hill Price took him to Selma in an old Oak land car. There at the induction station he put up his right hand, said the well-known words, and embarked on a troop train for Camp Hancock, Augusta, Ga. At Camp Hancock he was as signed to the 49th Company, sth Group, Machine Gun Division. He immediately distinguished him self by being an excellent marks man. He speaks with pride of the old water-cooled Browning ma chine gun. “She couldn’t be beat,” he said, “and I knew her like a book.” Camp Hancock, just outside the city of Augusta, was part of an old Confederate battleground. Charlie says that breastworks and other regies were ever present to remind one of the War Between the States. Charlie was a member of the band school. He says he never knew he had any musical poten tialities before. In the school he learned to play the bugle and oth er wind instruments. He was a member of the parade bands, and other small dance bands that play ed the hot jazz of that era. In these he beat a weird snare drum. When asked about the food Charlie said it was “on the whole pretty good.” He always liked hav ing a bit of ka.vpee duty though so he could enjoy a few of the delicacies that were missing from the menu. Charlie says he is sorry he did not have a chance at the Huns. “The Armistice was signed the day before we were to be shipped out. We had been alerted for ten days, and were rearing to go when the good news was told to us.” The late Gordon Massey of Zebulon, Edward Parker, Vernon Murphy, who was his bunk mate, and Howard Mitchiner of Wilson Mills, who was his company serge ant, are men who Charlie likes to remember with patriotic affection. He was discharged on Dec. 22, 1918. He is married to the former Mrs. Minnie Sherron Bailey, is the father of three children, and is en gaged in farming in this commun ity. • It happened to Mary and Joe Corbett as they were coming back from Wilson after visiting their daughter’s family there. The roads were slick because of the winter weather and Joe lost control of the car. It careened around in a complete turn, dislodging the oc cupants from their original posi tions. When Joe discovered Mary she was in the back seat, badly disheveled, tightly clutching her snuff box in one hand and rubbing the rising bump on her head with the other. • Kenny Vann is rapidly recover ing from the recent heart attack he suffered. But he is still unable SALEM Farm Tools DECEMBER 12 Hay at Corn 10:00 O'Clock Wagon Harness at Riding Cultivator FRANK PRICE 6000 Tobacco Sticks HOME PLACE Disk Harrow J Mile N. of Emit Mule Just off Hiway 39 to attend to some of his personal needs. One of these is shaving. The other day his daughter, Lottie B. Sutton, was visiting him and she suggested that she share him. Kenny agreed, happy to let the itchy stubble be removed from his face. Upon finishing father con ceded to daughter that she had done a pretty good job. He gulped twice, though, when he learned that it was her first try at shaving a person, and was thankful that he didn’t have anything in the house but a safety razor. • John Bailey and Wade Tippett were talking about killing hogs the other day, as almost everybody does at the first nippiness in the weather. In the course of conversa tion they reminisced about hog killings in days of yore. Seems that many medium size rocks were collected the day before. In the early hours of morning of the hog killing day, a roaring fire was built and the rocks were thrown in to heat. After thoroughly hot these stones were then dropped into the vat of water. Both said that in a very short time the water was just the right temperature to scald the slaughtered porkers. They add ed, too, that thin slices of liver broiled on the hot rocks, with a sweet potato, was just out of this world.
