'Rambling Jh Clay'
By: Mrs. Neal R. Kitchens
I was talking to Mr. Edgar
C. Grove one of our NEW
COMERS to day County this
- we?r~ nr Ts feHawiy?tf
Miami, Fla. and is building
a new year round home on the
Wildlife Access Road near
Ledfords Chapel, overlooking
Lake Chatuge. I was telling
him all about the beautiful
Scenery in Clay County and
I said "To me there is no
place as pretty". He said
"Do you want me to tell you
a prettier place?" 1 stopped,
kinda taken aback andhe star
ted laughing. He said "Well
f there ain't and put emphasis
on the ain't. He continued
"I have been all over North
Carolina looking for a place
for the past IS years, and 1
have found my UTOPIA here
in Clay County, it has every
thing I have ever hoped and
dreamed of".
Mr. Grove is a retired
postal employee of Miami.
One of the prettiest sights
Iv'e seen is the red rambler
rose that has twined itself
almost to the top of the big
white pine tree at the Horace
Garrison home. Perfect cor
sages could be picked from the
limbs with the greenery
already supplied.
Speaking of roses aren't the
ones in front of Mr. and Mrs.
Bob Colemans place just out
of this world Every one who
passes enjoys them and their
sweet fragrance.
Talk about someone with a
green thumb, It's Mrs. Odell
Shook (Gladys). Their whole
place is a flame with flowers.
The one spot I paticularly
enjoy is the gorgeous petunias
she planted down at the new
U. S. Poet Office. Bet you
didn't know that Gladys was
the one who bought the plants
furnished the rich dirt and
chicken litter and then planted
them. Martha Hoyle a post
office employee helped to set
them out. According to Gladys
she had bought red, white and
blue petunias to plant under
the flag) but they turned out
to be red, orchid and purple.
Well they are simply beautiful
and I fed that others share
my feelings in saying "Thank
You Qadys". Mrs. Shook is
always putting bouquets of
fresh dowers at the poet office
and other business places for
people to anjoy.
* You know AustelU Miller
pointed out something to me
the other day that I was not
aware of myself. She asked me
II I wasn't more observant
since I had been doing this
Rambling column. After think
ing about I realised this was
quite true and that I get so
much more out of life, because
unconsciously 1 had become
accustomed to looking at life
more closely.
Guaes many share my ex
perience in navmg tne tele
phone ring at the most in
opportune times. Seems that I
never fail to hear it when I
am out side hanging clothes.
l?st wSSk after I got hOtHC
from work I had walked down
to the mail box to take a
close look at our petunia bed.
The phone started ringing no
sooner than I got down there.
Seems the thing has a way of
ringing louder and louder. I
started up the steep concrete
drive fast as I could, ran onto
the front porch, gave the
screen a yank, forgetting that I
had left it hooked that morning
when I went to work. 1 bounded
round the house to the side
entrance and started down the
hall fast as I could. Hit a
scatter rug and almost went
down, but grabbed both sides
of the hall and righted myself,
just as I rounded the corner
to the living room, I hit an
other scatter rug (phone
ringing all the time) and this
time I went into a skid and
landed just four paces short
of the phone - you guessed it
that phone became as silent
as little boy caught invading
the cookie jar.
Now I'll get down to the
business side of life - like
addressing and mailing a tho
usand "second tax notices"
to all unpaid tax payers.
?????????
Couldn't help but be amused
at the typing error in last
weeks edition. I had writted
"The camp sights at Jack
Rabbit are nestled among the
majestic Oaks". It came out
in the paper "The camp lights
at Jack Rabbit are nestled
among the majestic Coaks".
Oh! Well.
