RURALITE
REPORTER
MRS. JAMES P. KNIGHT
Phone 2764
Wish all of you might have
roved with me this week — the
woods in Newton and Rochdale
i have never been so beautiful.
| We had made plans at our house
’ to go to the mountains for the
weekend (it wM the perfect, time)
but everybody vas on the sick
I list, and we ran a hospital in
. stead. What a pity it wasn't ac
' cidents we'd had — Ruralite
would have paid off:
One of my most interesting
trips, way off the beaten path
through an oak grove of gorgeous
colors, was to see Mrs. Jessie
Bates, of Route 1. Just beyond
the grove was a field of dead
i cornstalks literally covered with
: heavenly blue morning glories, —
; the most I'd seen since childhood.
When 1 reached Mrs. Bates’ home,
she had just finished putting a
quilt in the big homemade frame
that hung from the ceiling by
i ropes on its four corners — I
I hadn't seen that sight for a long
ume. either. The quilt was of
bright, gay colors, —- the kind we
j used to call a "crazy quill”. Dur- •
I ing our visit together Mrs. Bates
| told me that she has pieced four
teen quilts this year, quilted six I
i of them, and she showed me the I
I beautiful pink one she bad .just i
. finished for her grand-daughter, ‘
Janice Jones Grizzard, who was
| married a few weeks ago.
Stopped to admire Mrs. Fred
. Lee’s beautiful rose garden in ;
Almon. Her sister, Mrs. Estes
Johnson, of Conyers, was spending
the day with her, and we all en- i
joyed talking together.
Out on JacksOn Highway we i
stopped to visit with Mrs. Oscar I
Grant. The Grants have such a I
oeautiful view from the pleasant
. side porch where we sat “a’sittin’ '
nnd a-rockin' ”, They were still :
i enjoying the weekend visit of I
their family from Decatur, Mr.
। and Mrs. H. E. Rogers, Mr. and
Mrs. C. M. Parker and children,
! Jane and Alice.
Knocked on the door of Mr.
। and Mrs. Carl Johnson, and had
one of those "Do you remember?”
। visits. Carl used to be our rural
; mail carrier years ago, and we
j remembered each other's children
as being quite young. I could
hardly believe that their son Tom
; has grown up and is working in
Atlanta now, but he enjoy* his
work, and those weekend trips
home, too.
When I finally got out to '»
Bob Parkers place, I just missed
him — he'd gone squirrel-hunting.
Mrs. Parker and I visited on the
front porch, though .and it was
■m warm and pleasant — hard to
believe it was November!
Hard to believe, too, that win
. tertime is just around the corner.
But well wake up one of these
। mornings to find that frost is on
the pumpkin, fodder's in the
shock, and we’ll know that cold
weather’s here to stay awhile
Well realize, too. that because
of weather hazards, early dark
; ness. fireplace fires, heaters
burnings, etc., we have more
home, farm, school, and travel
accidents than during any other
season. So if you want to take
out that accident policy in time
and save yourself many a dime.
