CAT RESCUE - James Melton, one of the county custodians, holds the
small kitten he rescued Monday from its prison over the ceiling of the Parks
and Recreation office. The kitten had been stuck since last Friday and
Melton worked most of the morning, removing sections of the wall piece by
piece, to get at it. The kitten, as yet unnamed, had a big meal of tuna and
milk and then happily went home to its new owner. Don Slaughter.
News
Photographs by Art Gore were
received last week at the library.
Two lovely, nostalgic fall scenes
captured by superb workmanship
with a camera!
If you enjoyed Art Gore's
"Images of Yesterday" you will
certainly appreciate the beauty in
these photographed scenes. The
pictures allude to historical country
living in most any rural areas where
once the old water pump in the
yard was a modern convenience,
replacing the old oaken bucket and
the well in the side or back yard. Of
course, replacing the well with a
pump still didn't do away with the
gourd dipper right away. However
the oaken bucket was eventually
replaced with the enameled bucket
in white, grey, blue and the pretty
one in Art's photograph of blue and
white with a white enameled drink
ing cup. Autumn in any area brings
about the falling of leaves after
Mother Nature has had her chance
with many colors. This scene
pictured against an old distressed
wood barn leaves us to feel, 'tho'
the leaves were raked yesterday,
more have fallen because this scene
should exist this time of year.
Following the same mood in the
second scene, you want to just
reach out and pick up an apple
from the table, 'cause the knife is
there if you don't like eating the
peeling. Nice red apples tumbling
out of a box, destined for the old
cider press and keg found there
won't be around long to chomp on.
Somehow Fall always alludes to
nostalgia, not only because of our
historical past but of the present
year and its labors that are behind
us. Sometimes it's hard to move
forward but we feel that God in His
infinite wisdom knows we earth
lings and how set we become in our
ways; so gently. He maneuvers us
ever forward.
These graphic scenes and their
beauty by our native son. Arthur D.
Gore. Jr.. are well worth your time.
So come by the library to see them.
Your appreciation to Art for
remembering Hoke County, his
home town, with his two lovely
books and now these scenes for the
library walls can be expressed
through your interest in them as
you come in to visit here.
For those who through the years
have wished him well, they can see
through his work he has succeeded.
