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. Country Cousin. A wedding of more than usual in terest in the community, was that of Mr. Harry 8. Simpson to Miss Bel li* E. Cox, both of Climax.
