OLD TIMER WRITES OF HIS
RECENT VISIT TO FT. VALLEY
Uncle Hcz Hankins Writes Very I merest inn Letter to the
Paper—Good Funner Likes the Progressive Gity and
Its Live Men Imnts. and Praises It as a Produce and
General Market (.enter.
Peer Eddytur:
By gosh I didn’t know Fort Valley
wuz' such a Lizzy little town, hut I
can tell you she's all right and a plum
Me and Lize and the kids had been
aworking hard all summer am 1 fall
and got together sev’ral bales of cot¬
ton an’ a bunch of country produce an
other stuff what we had to sell. So
Liza sez to me one nitc we mite as
well sell the things rite now and get
’em of’en our minds.
We had been a readin’ along bout
the markets an from what we could
get bv word of mouth and thru the
local paper we decided that Fort Val
kv wuz about the best market in
reach and Liza decided she alus does
the decidcn for the family case she’s
deecidedly the better half, as how I’d
better hitch up ole Beck an Judge to
wc'un horseless kerridge an drive a
few loads or ruther pull a few lodes
—oh no, I, mean drive the mules an
Jet them pull a few lodes ov produce
an cotton to Fort Valley an sell at
once.
Wall, we had to pass threw an
other town or 2 an all them thare
store merchants run Out an tried to
glop Beck an Judge sose we'd traid
in them thare towns, but we jist ast
the price of cotton an produce an
come on.
An so we driv on again till we driv
up to Fort Valley.
I got $275 and some odd sense for
my produce and cotton an ns 1 knew
Liza’d Want ter know where all the
money went to—I make all my fi
nancial reports to my ole woman—I
thought I'd better put them green
backs into the Citizens hank and draw
checks as I traded with the merchants.
Liza sed she seed in the bank add as
to how a check was good as a receipt
and the Citizens bank was strong
enough to hold my three hundred and
•everal more hundred besides. I went
around and turned it over to Mr.
Shirley one of them clever cashiers
in there and he shoved it inter a big
sack they hed to keep change in dur
ing the day.
I wuz feelin' purty good over 1he
prices I got for my cotton an’ prod
uce an’ as I nachly felt like buyin’
somethin in Fort Valley I wont round
to the A. & P. store. Bein as how Liza
alters wants biscuits fer brekfast an
a leetle short sweetnin for her cof¬
fee, I bot a sack ov there famis A. &
P. which they sell. I took sum ov
them good canned goods an sum Sun
nyfield Skinless bacon and sum New
York State cheese and sum of that
honest to goodness ole time Red Cir¬
cle coffee, very best ground. This and
a dollars wurth uv sugar nn a mity
big one it was, got me kinder started
and when I wound up I had to give
Mr. Durden a check for $20 to squar
off.
Sim spied sum iso cream conns in
at Copeland’s Drug Store an jest hed
to stop nn git one. They're a big sody
water contraption in front thar whor
a feller kin git nil kinds uv sett
drinks and sides that the Copeland’s
Drug Store carrys jis a lot uv good
sniellin’ artikles for the wimmin
folks toilet to say nothin uv comes
an breshes and face whitenin an can
dies an stationery an fountain pens
and inck an pineels. Everybody in thar
is polite as a baskit of chips an they
alius sells everthing a little less,
Thers a plenty of fisics in thet store
to fill eny kind uv doctors perskrip
tion an them boys knows how, cans
theys reglar registered pharmacists,
Them there ortymobiles shore do
luk swell and run orful fast. Sim an
me was past by scads uv em on our
way to town but we conght up agin
with one uv of em a short ways outa
town stuck in a hole. We pulled the
feller but an then he couldn't git the
blamed thing started. So we jest drug
him to Williams & Evans Garage.
Bless Pete, them boys jest tickled its
rig* a little an titened up sum curly
cues here an there an then twisted its
tail with a hard yank an blim the
contrary thing humped up an begun
to rattel natchel like an the fellers
-eves jest luffed when they tole im
what the charges wuz. Williams &
Evans gives quick wrecker service,
too, an handles auto accessories an
car parts.
Feller tried to git funny as 1 past
him whislin “Why Don't Ye Git Yore
, Hair r . Cut. _ . „ v ^ ou ___ i , , v,.,, '
tne down to make me take er hint so
I marched around to the City Barber
‘
Shop and , me an __wb Sun both got ov,t fl a linir hair
cut. Them boys in thar sure do no
barberin from the word go an they
'
done sich a nice on my head I
jest says to myself I’ll git my whisk
ers tuk off an see if the ole woman
knows me when I get hack home.
Shucks alive 1 didn’t hardly know my
,,wn M ' lf wtlt ' n 1 luk<,<1 ln lh,> K ,ass '
Gee but they wuz a lotta gals in
thar getlin there hair bobbed an the
ole lady wuz powerful jealous when
I told er about seein all them thare
K«od lookin gals.
As I’tl jist had my whiskers took
off I natchelly wanted to have my
“shadow snatched,” so me an Kim had
» dozen of them thar cabinet size pho
togrufts made at the Rembrandt
Studio, for to send round to kin folks.
Cost me only a few “bones” and the
gal* «t home has decided them to swell go down lug j
thar an have sum uv
fotos made to send to ther jewlarkies
an when we have our family reun.on
next month we gonna go down and
hev Mrs. Tomanck take our picture
an frame em up in sum of them pur
ty style 12 to 20 frames she . , s go .
.
Pound she also develops codack fil
jlunins in good shape, and her charges
air very moderate, too.
! Me 1 an Sim kinder begun to feel a
■lectio empty in the craw bout twelve
'o’clock on SO we went round to Poole’s
Lunch Room for ter git us a snak.
They shore feed you good thar; but
| then they orter for I they keep stuck sum uv
the finest meats ever my
j grinders into anywhere, an Mr. Poole,
the boss thar, knows jist how to have
em cooked an served to a hungry
man. Them beef stakes and pork
chops of their’n simply melts in your
mouth. I jest couldn’t help but wish
i Liza wuz er-long ter help mo an the
kid put erway all them good things
that wuz down thar fer our dinner.
| An you kno all that thare good home
cooked dinner never cost me hut very
little, neither.
i uv ‘ l sudden I felt role shamed
myself . . new
uv puttin on airs in a
sute and hadn’t hot Liza nothin to
ware, so 1 went back round to Gold
man’s Dry Goods Store where I know
ed a swell line uv ladies ready to wear
, wuz kept all the time and picked out
R p Ur ty navy blue dress for Liza. Then
j bethought myself uv a sweater what
Sjs our gali n( , 0( ie<! one orful bad an
wwnt n0 trouble to fim i a swell look
^ what p!ease( i tbe gal. Goldman’s
Store carrys a compleat line of ladys
sweaters an stock ins an gloves an
belts and ladys furnishins, as well as
ready to ware in fact, everything
fo) , th( , ga]s to ware nt bnv pr i C es.
When a feller loses tho list his wife
give ^ him, tho best thing he can do is
to look us a Variety or be an’ 10c
store so I went round to R .& P. Va¬
riety Store qvhore I knowed I could
ice all kinds of trinkets an’ danglers
o re ! me of the ole lady’s needs.
Thoys everything in thar store from
,. itcben tools sich as pans and aig
beeters r.n I dishes and spoons and
bilers to toys for the tots and ties
, n ,j sox for the big Johnnys. If you
W nnt some little something rail bad
an d don’t know jist 'xactly what you
want jist go round to R. & P. Variety
store and most generally you’ll find
t thar. And again, Patterson allers
;: ells for less.
The parson in our church sent er
long a sute by me that he wanted
Johnson’s Haberdashery ter clean up
an press for him. Durn my skin if I
didn’t think they’s made a mistake
and gimme the rong sute, it all look
ed so clone an dandified when they
got thru with it. Mr. Johnson takes
price in turnin out ther very best and
they’ve got a up-to-date cleanin and
pressin' plant what turns out work
in a hurry. It’s no wonder Mr. John
son gets lots uv work to do becaus
he plezes his customers. All work’s
