If it were an ordinary sportster, we’d have intro

Instead, we took the time to build a whole new
Camaro.
We started with a sleek new shape and a low road
hugging stance.
And added more hood. A faster fastback. Wider
doors. And new deeply contoured bucket seats.
The instrument panel wraps around you. Vv ith
enough dials to make you think you’re piloting a 747.
There are four transmissions. And six power plants

They brought a friend with them,
Mrs. Inman Rawls, of Poplarville,
Miss., to have her meet their dear
mother’s relatives; and to view
the beauty and magic of Indian
Springs and the Camp Ground,
which had been a Fairy Land as
a playground for them in their
youth.
While on their visit, they were
entertained by their relatives,
Mrs. Victor Carmichael, Mrs.
Jane Ham Mallet and Mr. Willie
Lee Nutt and family, and many
friends. They had such a happy
and memorable visit in their
search for kinfolds and old
friends. In their search, they ran
into who was once a Mississippi
next door neighbor and very dear
friend, the late Mr. Clarence
Newton. He now had become the
owner of what was once their cot
tage on the Camp Ground.
Mr. Durham had been bedrid
den for the past eight years, with
two types of arthritis, and his
sister, Mrs. Phelau Beale, gave up
her apartment in New York City
to come South to be with him
and to nurse him during these
years. He was a widower, with
no children.
Asa little boy, Eugene was
quite a well known character in
his home town, because of his
extreme brightness and cunning
ness. Especially as a tiny lad in
bis daily visits outside the county
jail, to the inmates he was “pray
ing” for them.
Asa grown man, he was known
as a fine young man who had not
wasted his life drinking and as
a faithful worker in the church.
Also, as a dependable and loving
son to his old father, and the
same as a brother. From boy
hood he had been an ardent hunts
man, and lover of animals. His
sense of humor was quiet, but
