Interesting Fowltewn Commcnication.
Editor Search Light:
After perusing yout newsy edition of
last issue, the thought occured to me
that a few lines from Fowl town might
be furnished j-6u ’ere the ve«r 1908 has
died. Now how ls .that for a startar?
Yon know it is always hard to write an
article for public print, and feel satis
fied that it is what you want to say. con
sequsntly writing is somewhat a lost
art with me. Some men can sit down
on a goods boa, with a jack knife and a
. piece of pine to whittle, and just talk
the horns off of a fall grown William
goat, bnt put that same individual on
the stomp to speak, and he is like . the
school boy makinffde first effort. How
ever the beginning most come and herv-'s
hoping that the generous public will al
low me the time I ask and I’ll promise
not to worry the good people nnlv once
inagvaat while.
Fowltown waa named after a celebra
ted Indian chief by the name of Fowls,
and they any he used to roost on a knoll
bfipnad the four mile oreek. Tradition
Mge^ghnt the name fell to him because
ofikftMtreme fondness for tlje tooth
aome birds we call chicken j in book lore
the domalls fowl. All I can say about
old Fowls b that if his traits of charac
ter were as sound as his judgement for
meat was good, be was almost as good
as a Methodist preacher.
Old Fowls hss gone to the|happy hunt
ing grounds these many years ago,'but
Fowlstown flourishes like green bay
tree. She is built upon a hill nearly two
hundred feet above Baiuoridge. Good
health maiks the countenance of every
face your vision meets. Only the chronic
grumbler has a pinched appearance, and
he has just worn his facial nerves out by
incessant growling. Cool free stone
springs, and deep sunken "old oaken
buckets, eie.” quench the thirst of the
prosperous people and the fatted kine.
Can you wonder that the people like to
live in suoh a favored country ? Corn,
cotton, tobacoo, sugar cane, potatoes
are all indigenous to the soil, Tiokle
old Mother Earth ever so gently, and aid
her along with just a little commercial
help and she responds like unto a west
ern prairie.
Yee, Mr. Editor, 1 live in Fowlstown,
and oannot help but believe my lot b
east in s favored section* 'book upon
its native growth. ,U>»t fopy eye on the
giant oak, view, the majestic pins, the
ever green magnolia, the supple hickory,
the msgnifioent beach, the symmetrical
■ poplar, then bring your gase down on
the fertile fields, and you cannot help
hut exclaim, Fowlstown, great are your
natural resources: happy and contented
ought your people to be. Here U to
you a merry Christmas and a happy
New Year.
