About 4 V 2 years ago, Buffy wandered into the Stephens’ grocery store and was thin apd on the brink of starvation. Jeanette, a softy for hungry critters, took her to the back of the store for food and drink and there Buffy remained until closing time, tucked away in a cozy pasteboard box. After clos ing, the Stephens took her home with them and there she has stayed. Five months after wander ing into the grocery store, Buffy had a litter of six kittens after which she was “fixed” the Stephens are not people to make the same mistake twice! Of that litter only one kitten remains and Mrs. La Rue Turner has her. Since being spayed, Buffy has been dubbed with the alias “Queen of the House” by Bobby. It seems that during the operation Buffy not only got spayed but also got a mind of her own. For example, the Stephens bought her a very nice wicker basket to sleep in, but she has decided that she would rather lay her head in a cardboard box. Her preferences at meal time might also be consi dered as an example. She refuses to do more than sniff at cat food which is not fresh out of the can. For awhile, the Stephens tried to fake her out by pretending to open an liHready opened can of 4 catfood but that failed miserably, so they have given up and Buffy gets fresh catfood at each meal. A few turns of the can opener will bring Buffy running, licking and sniffing. Fish is Buffy’s favorite at mealtime but she will on occasion ask for liver or kidney yes, ask for. Jeanette says that each morning as she readies the coffee percolator, Buffy will give her little love bites around her ankles if she wants fish; on the other hand, outstretched paws hanging in her pajama legs is the signal for liver or kidney. Jeanette is some times perturbed by Buffy’s Mack of patience but “at least!” she says, “I know what she wants.” After each meal Buffy performs a bath ritual. She is very peculiar about her coat’s appearance and won’t tolerate any petting while bathing. Each morning, Buffy must BUFFY DOING HER THING IN THE TUB have a hug from Leigh Ann and Leslie. They each pick her up and Buffy puts a paw on each of their shoulders and hugs, her head rubbing their face from one side to the other. She will only hug children, but when she is chilled or cold after coming in from the cold outside, she hops into Bobby’s or Jea nette’s lap and curls up until she is warm. Among Buffy’s favorite pastimes are sleeping in bed with the Stephens daughters, Leigh Ann and Leslie, playing with string, running through the house and most of all, eating. The latter is a blessing in disguise for she is now too fat to get to Pee Wee, the Stephens’ parakeet. That bird seems to really bug her, but as yet she hasn’t managed to get to him. The Stephens have had cats before, but their dogs, Poachie, Cocky, Mop and Dede wouldn’t let them stay. However, Buffy is one cat that they have learned to respect the hard way, especially Poachie who has suffered several bloody noses, thanks to Buffy. “The Investigator” is another alias of Buffy’s from Mr. Stephens (the Stephens grandfather). Buffy is sure to thoroughly investigate any and every strange car to occupy the Stephens drive way. Avery tidy lady, Buffy is very particular about where she does her cat business. According to Jeanette, “she has never done wrong by the house or floor.” If her litter box doesn’t suit, she hops into the bathtub and gets over the drain to empty her bladder, as evidenced by the photo above. One morning the girls left water in the tub and Bobby found Buffy sitting on the commode! COATES PET SHOP 315 Irving Ave. 227-3775 Griffin, G*.

Fire Guts College St. Residence The house occupied by Geneva Grier and her son, Morris Grier, at 430 West College Street, was totally destroyed by fire late Saturday afternoon, January llih. Jackson Fire Chief W. L. (Cotton) Vaughn said the Volunteer Fire Department responded to the call about 5:30 p.m. and when they arrived on the scene a front bedroom was engulfed in flames. Chief Vaughn said that a conversation with the son led him to believe that the fire originated from an old wood heater in which the son had started a fire a short time before. Chief Vaughn said the department fought the fire for about an hour as it spread from room to room through the ceiling. As it appeared the fire would be extin guished in one room, Mr. Vaughn said it would spread to another through the ceiling and when the tar roof caught on fire there was little else for the fire department to do than hose down the next door home of James Besley and to keep a propane gas tank in the yard from exploding by keeping it as cool as possible under the circumstances. The contents of the house were totally lost, according to Chief Vaughn. The Jackson Fire Chief urges spectators at future fires to please stay away from the scene, pointing to [DOT!

JANUARY 16. 1976 the traffic jams that oc curred in the attempt to fight the fire Saturday afternoon. Chief Vaughn said that spectators had to be con tinuously warned to stay from under wires that threatened to be burned in two and could have fallen on someone and electrocuted them. Chief Vaughn said he intends to seek an ordinance, if one does not exist, from the Mayor and Council to prohibit people from ob structing emergency vehi cles and to put enough teeth into the ordinance that it can be enforced. The traffic congestion was so bad that Mr. Vaughn said if a fireman or spectator had been injured, it would have been extremely difficult to get an ambulance to the injured person and just as difficult to get the ambulance through the congested streets.
