SCOTT POOLE November reminds me of olden times when droves of wagons passed our house en route to Fay etteville where they sold produce and bought suger, coffee, salt, and other heavy groceries. They drove fine teams of horses or mules although the horses were more numerous. They had but few mules. The lead horses wore bells and I thought they made very pretty music. The horses walked proud ly that were wearing them. They rarely camped in oim vic inity. They went 10 or 15 miles fimther down toward Fayetteville. The Lowry Road, the Wire Road, Turnpike, Road, Central Plank Road, and another plank road Out by Carthage—these were foUowed by the trains and wa gons. They drove about 20 miles a day, picked a good, thick timber ed place to camp near a stream where they could get water for themselves and' their horses. Us ually their food was cooked at home before they started except they had to make coffee. A feedbox hung behind the wagon containing the coffee pot. I have seen trains and wagons reaching from our house to Dan/- iel McKenzie’s, one measured mile. These were not all from the same community. About sun down, these trains or wagons broke into • groups and neighbors always camped together. They arrived in Fayetteville usually Kids’ Day King and Queen “CAN I CUT THE COST OF MY AUTO INSURANCE?” If you’re a select risk driver you can qualify for economical protection with Farm Bureau Mutual Automobile Insurance Co., Columbus, Ohio. 0 SELECT RISK COMPANY 0 AUTOMATIC RENEWALS 0 OWNED BY POLICYHOLDERS Fill out and mail this coupon.

E. Peterson, executive secretary of Kiwanis International, announced this week. , x, ' The boy king will reign on the observance date, Saturday, Nov. 19, as a symbol for all American youth while the queen will represent those who have overcome serious ailments or other handicaps to enjoy normal lives. The Shreveport b’oy, eighth in a family of nine children, is the son of a widow, Mrs. Emma Smith. Described as a typical American youngster of the Huckleberry Finn type, he was chosen on the basis of leadership displayed last summer at a Kiwanis Boys’ camp for underprivileged children at Lake Caddo near Shreveport. ' The pretty blue-eyed queen is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Ash. Little Karen recovered from a rare heart ailment in May, 1949, following an extremely delicate surgical operation. Funds to m^e possible the operation were sponsored by the Muscatine Kiwanis club. Now a healthy girl, Karen is a pupil at St. Mary's school In Muscatine and leads a normal life in every w’ viUe. Mail routes also went out in every direction from Fayetteville, carrying the mail. I remember during the civil war, this was a right important occupation. We got newspapers and letters through Fayetteville during the war. On my first trip to Fayetteville, I was 10 and I saw boys shooting robins and saw the robins faU. I wanted a gun after that, and when finally got one, the first thing I shot was a bird. 0- CULTURE OF AZALEAS AND CAMELLIAS By Mrs. J. B.
