News Notes From
Oak Hill
By Maggie Wideman
The motto of Saturday's small
ish trail crew was “covered bridge
or bust”-we busted. Some of our
young guests showing a wisdom
beyond their years, discreetly
stayed at the bunkhouse to sit by
the log fire and do some limited I
riding in the barn. However, a
handful of hardy souls, aided and
abetted by your writer, who is con
sidered by some as being rather
flighty anyway, rode bravely out. |
the gate and set our faces toward
our goal. Wearing a rain suit.,
which includes rain-proof trousers j
as well as parka, we were quite
comfortable especially since w e
rode Patti's “Little Joe", who is a
trained roping and cutting horse.
So we didn't need to rein him,
but guided him with the knees
while our hands stayed nice and
dry in pockets, fingering our small
cache of bubble gum and hard
candy. Our first stop was the
Jolley Dairy, where we usually
drink our fill while the cows
watch nervouslv as we give every !
appearance of drinking the well
dry. However, today nobody was
thirsty so we pressed onward.
We noticed the girls's faces were
beginning to look pinched, so when
we reached the store of Mr. Canes
we stopped to beg a few matches
to build a fire when we reached
the bridge if perchance wo can
find some dry wood. Mr. Capes,
who will be eighty but doesn’t
look it. gently admonished us and
told 'us to turn back which was
all we needed to send us flying
back toward home. Who cares a
bout an old covered bridge any
way when you can have a warm
fire and hot stew and cornbread
besides.
Mrs. Jessie Mayo, mother of
Margaret Mitchell, is feeling
much b e tter since her recent
operation.
It will be a June wedding for
Charlotte Weldon and Gary Mc-
Collough, whose engagement
was recently announced.
Our sympathy to both Mrs.
Kitchens and Mr. Joe Marrete of
this community, who lost loved
ones this past week.
Mrs. Vina Jolley is on the sick '
list this week. She is the mother
of Mr. Alton Jolley and a faith
ful member of Prospect Metho
dist Church.
Mr John (Pap) Furlong, father
of Mrs. Alton Jolley, returned
home from the hospital, Monday
and is already up and about. If
we know Pap, when the hunting
season opens the critters better
look out!
Guests in the Frank Morris home
over the weekend included the
Pev. Freddie Beddingfield, Mrs.
Beddingfield and children.
As we rode our horses down the
roads with our guests on our
trail rides, we stopped at on e
place in particular; the home of
Mr. J. 0. Wilson, where under
the shady trees we rested and
drank water while Mr. Wilson
found us a bucket to water our
horses. He talked with the girls
with all the charm of his ninty
■ix years. This weekend there
were cars parked at his house as
folks called to pay sympathy calls.
Mr. Wilson is gone, but we will
remember his kindness always.
