Taylor, speaking at Hot Springs at the Dedication of the 20 low rental aparttnenitts in the Housing Project struck a re sponsive chord in my heart chords of childhood and hometown memories, for I was reared in Hot Springs, and lived there from 1887 to 1902. During those years there seem ed to be houses for everybody, some rented, some self-built. Mr. father, John W. Daniels, built his first house where the bridge crosses Spring Creek in the middle of the town. It was a large two-story house built with a store-like front for Newt Lance to sell goods in. We occupied the back and upstairs. His next house was a pretty cottage just behind Dorland Bell Institute, the porch all trimmed with jig-aw stars. An apple tree furnished us children a swing, and a row of goose berry bushes across the garden furnished Mother switches when we were unruly. His next house was on Main Street in front of the old Baptist Charch. This was another pretty cottage all prettied up with scroll work. He gave $50 for this lot It was a big lot and a barn at ths back In which he kept a big red horse and s buggy which he used to collect taxes over Madison County when he was Tax Collector. I went with him on many trips to Paint Rock, Big Laurel, Spring Creek and Shot-In. Because teams of hones wits big wagons would run sway down ths street, mother was afraid some of. ths smaller children would be ran over and s' e had father swap with Newtnce for one over on Spring Street.

At that time there were hous ing projects there. Jusrt out of town up Spring Creek was a row of small white-washed houses for rent, called Tiger Town. At the end of Main Street, at the foot of the mountain, was another row of white-washed houses. This was called Chinch Row. Then quite a few houses, with one house of 21 rooms seven basement, seven first floor, and seven upstairs was rented to comers and goers. Most of the people owned their own homes. Father was a carpen ter by trade. He built houses for people when times were good and when bad he got on the Police Force. Sometimes he was Tax Collector or Deputy. When there would be a fight and somebody was killed he would take me with him to the inquest. I was in Dorland Bell's first graduating class. At 20 I married a Blue Ridge mountaineer's son and came to live out m the country, in a log house with s big rock chimney and big open fireplace. (I taught school three years in log houses, burned pine knots for light Taught over 12 years in county buildings.) The first time my father visit ed me he took me aside and said, "Bess, yon know damn good and well yon wasnt never need to anything like this.". In fairness to my young husband I eooldnt say anything. I Jast laid my cheek against, his and kissed him. Sixty four years ago I left the little town of Hot Springs, I am over 84 now and I guess me and my little home-town have bath corns s long ways since.

Fortunately, jured. no one was m- According to witnesses, the bread truck driver was attempting to pass the school bus, both head ed north, at the intersection. A oar, driven by Ray Kirby, of Mar shall, was headed toward Mar shall. Quick thinking by young Kirby probably prevented a more serious wreck. Instead of hitting the bread truck, he hit the upper bank. His car flipped over on its top but Kirby was able to crawl out uninjured. The car was damaged extensively, however. The bread truck was slightly damaged and the school bus was not damaged. The. bread truck driver has been charged with improper passing.
