: STREET OF IRWINTON :
Not seeing his jovial friend about
town for several days, Ralph Junior
Culpepper asked his daddy if J. J.
Mercer had quit his job. Since scat
tering eight thousand baby chickens
over the county, the Street seldom
sees the big rehab man. Those who
have tried to keep up with one hen
and seven biddies know that he has
job a-plenty.
Brant Pearce says Jim Dav met a
possum in the road and gaye him a
ride. The possum began growling
and cuttin’ up and Mr Day remem
bered about the rabid fox peril and
drew himself up in a earner and the
car ran in the ditch mixing possum
and Day pretty closely. The driver
left his car and when he returned
with help the possum was standing
on the seat and pulling at the steer
ing wheel with his front claws-
One of the darkest, thick foggy
nights that ever hid Irwinton’s hill
top from the nearby stars, I was grop
ing my way under the shelters along
old Penny row when I bumped some
body and heard the frightened voice
of Nelse Clark: Lordy! I’se met a
ghost.
Young people of today are to be
pitied for not having a mulberry tree
as a courting bench. The famous
mulberry tree at the old tchoolhouse
was just a dead log lying on the
school yard but it was a live and ro
mantic spot for young people who sat
there to plan and dream their futures
—so much finer than old clayfooted
Reality’s program which they finally
had to accept.
Said Frank Johnson to me at four
o’clock Saturday afternoon as we
rested a good many minutes on the
Eastern bench at Culpepper’s store —
In the old days along about this time
in the hot afternoon somebody's horse
usually got tired of standing hitched
and broke loose for a fast gallop all
around the stores. Tom Jemmerson
was the best hand at catching the
fiery chargers.
Now come the watermelons to town
and this is the time when African
eyes are smiling, as they eat the heart
away. If you have pondered the
problem of keeping out invaders, re
member how little barbed wire fences
amount to when they are between a
halfgrown boy and a melon patch.
In happy confab with five of my
cronies, occupying all the half dozen
July. 4. 1941
new bus station metal chairs of red
and white, I felt a growing uneasi
ness and finally saw that two lady
passengers were comfortably seated
on suiteases. I stood up quickly,
then yawned and sidled up the Street
to the postoffice swing, which is new
shaded by tall, volunteer cornstalks.
Millard Hatfield has gone to Pana
ma to hole “bulldoze” anybody that
seeks to molest the Canal-
GEORGIA —Wilkinson County.
To all whom it may concern:
Mrs Ollie N. Dornin y haying in
proper form applied to me for perma
nent letters of administration on the
estate of Miss Bessie R. Nash, late of
said county, this is to cite all and
singular the creditors and next of kin
of Miss Bessie R. Nash to be and ap
pear at my office within the time al
lowed by law, and show cause, if any
they can, why permanent administra
tion should not be granted to Mrs
Ollie N. Dominy on Miss Bessie R.
Nash estate.
Witness my hand and official signa
ture, this 2nd day of June, 1941.
