An accident some six or seven years ago left Mrs. Annie Ellis con fined to a wheelchair, but the McDonough woman certainly has not limited her many activi ties because of this misfortune. “I may have fractured my hip and I may have to use this chair, but I still do the washing, ironing, cooking and sewing,” she says indig nantly. “The only thing I can’t do is walk by myself.”- TOMORROW’S THE RIG DAY SHOWING THE NEW 1978 CHRYSLER AND PLYMOUTH CARS. .

GENE HAYES MOTOR CO., INC. 228 NORTH EXPRESSWAY PHONE 227-5501 Mrs. Ellis is an excellent cook and her culinary efforts won her $25 at the Henry County Fair last year. "I won the prize for my canned peaches and apples,” reports the Racetrack Road resident, “but I also put up pears, berries and hot and sweet pepper relish.” One of her specialties is a pepper relish mixture consisting of chopped bell peppers, hot pepper, apples, car rots and onions. This spicy concoction is superb with vegetables (or by the spoonful, provided you have an asbestos tongue.) Mrs. Ellis put up 300 jars of various edibles last year and 150 this year. ("We didn’t use up all I canned last year, so we didn’t need as much,” she explains.) The easygoing lady gives much of her canned goods to friends and relatives. Mrs. Ellis is fond of baking cakes and pies for her family. Another service she performs for her family is the making of clothes for her grand- children. “I make some clothes for them all during the summer and into the fall,” she says. "I can make two pairs of pants in a day. I’ve never done sewing for money, just for the family.” She has also made some beautiful star shaped quilts. Although Mrs. Ellis came from a relatively small family of five, she herself had 10 children and now has 21 grand children. These offspring are scattered from Atlanta to Detroit, but they sometimes gather at the Ellis home for Sunday dinner. “I fix one large meal a week for company, and about once a month, eight of my children come and bring their children. It takes a lot of cooking, but I love it!” A resident of McDon ough for some 28 years, Mrs. Ellis has lived in Henry County all her life, growing up in Locust Grove. In the mid-1940’5, she put her sewing talent to good use as a stitcher of Teddy bears at a toy factory.
