Local Happenings
42 Years Ago in the
Martin County Sun
From a scrapbook kept by Mn. C 1.
D Carstarphen and her mother, the
following items are copied as they
appeared in H. J. Herrick's "Martin j
County Sun." a newspaper publish
ed here in 1894:
THE GIRLS THAT USED TO BE"
Williamston?1898? Mrs. Charles
D Carstarphen was "at home" Tues- j
day afternoon to the old time set of
girls to which she belonged. There
were eight of these girls?seven were
present at this re-union. All have
grown older, but lack none of their
girlish sweetness and attractive man
ner. The only situation which was
in the least unpleasant, was the sad
truth that twot of the "girls" were
still not privileged to speak of "my
husband" This situation exists eith
er from the possession of a super
ior knowledge of the desposition of
men, or it may be that the men
don't know a good thing when they
see it. So it happened that the only
subject not allowed at this pleasant
meeting was husband and chil
dren" The hour was spent in re
viewing the good old days, when in
pinafores they romped and got the
joy of living every minute. Mrs. Car
starphen served refreshments, such
as the "set" loved, and the hours
passed all too soon.
The "Girls" were Emma Hassell
Hoyt, Eliza Lamb Mills, Nora Fow
den ?, Ida Hassell Jeffries,
Henrietta Peel McCraw, Anna Craw
ford ? and Eliza Bennett
Carstarphen.
The National defense program has
brightened the domestic demand for
farm products, since increased in
dustrial production should mean
larger consumer incomes during the
last half of this year.
