Scenes, Noises and Tastes Recalled
By Oldlimers in the Fast Twenties
BY COOPER ETHERIDGE
It is strange that, since I started
writing this series about the “old
days,” I cannot find anyone who
will admit being as old as I am.
Some of them I have been address
ing as “Mister” fro many years
claim that they do not remember
as far back as I can. I can recall
back just short of a half century,
and I do mean “just short” of 50,
and I’d better hurry and get this
one printed.
Can you remember when Perry
had covered sidewalks, sort of like
those in “Dodge City” of Matt
Dillon and Chester? We can. They
had tin roofs which were held up
by metal posts of about four in
ches in diameter. You see some
of them now in the so-called “fad
ing towns” throughout the coun
try.
I can recall the old post office,
located where Houston Drug Com
pany is now. It had two lights, one
in the front for the customers and
one in the back, for the use of the
postal employees. On the wall was
the ever-present sign: “Do not spit
on the floor.” Right in the center
of that sign were two or three
perfect shots of Brown Mule to
bacco juice, apparently aimed with
deadly accuracy from about 6 to
8 feet.
“Stop Reading Cards”
Mr. Jube Strother, the jovial in
surance man, was there every time
the mail was “put up” by the
postmaster and his helpers.
“Stop reading the post cards and
put up the mail, Fred Bon
ner,” Mr. Jube said everytime he
came in the post office. This was
a sure-fire getter of great peals of
laughter from the others gathered
there to get their mail, too. Post
master, Mr. Bonner, thought it was
a good joke, too, for he laughed
for many years at the same lines.
Another scene and noise indeli
bly stamped on my memory is the
old Home Journal—the establish
ment known as the “the printing
office.” Along about dark every
Wednesday you could hear the
gasoline engine being cranked up
to start turning the press and get
ting out the week’s edition. Henry
Powell, now in the veterans hos
pital at Dublin, was there. He was
cutting the papers with a string
and hand-folding each one. He
worked there for 47 years, except
for a year in the Army in the
first World War, and he never
worked in any other place. He
said he guessed he had served his
apprenticeship.
Never Failed Entirely
The gasoline engine chugged
along, skipping and sputtering, but
never failing to get out the issue.
(The paper hasn’t missed an issue
since it was founded in 1870).
Sometimes they were late with the
printing on Wednesday and I
could go to sleep at home listening
to that gasoline engnie.
Nearly everybody went to the
post office every night to get their
mail so they got a chance to see the
Home Journal being printed on
their way to the P. O. The Home
Journal was located where Dr.
Gallemore’s Clinic now stands.
The grocery stores had delivery
service, supermarkets and cash
groceries not having been invent
ed. The groceries were delivered
by horse-drawn wagons. Since I
can’t remember the names of all
the fine grocery stores, I’d better
not call any names.
“Ice Box” Busy
And during the summers every
body had ice delivered to their
homes from the “ice house” on an
other horse-drawn wagon. The
boys and girls used to run along
with the ice man and pick up
pieces of ice which dropped from
the ice-picking operation which
cut off a nickel’s worth, or a
dime’s worth, or more. The ice
man brought the ice into the back
porch with hooks and deposited it
into the top of the refrigerator,
where all the perishables were
kept. During the winter, the per
ishables, butter, milk, etc., were
simply left on the back porch
where it kept cool.
The people in the country had
“safes” on the back porches where
they kept the foods that needed
to be kept cool, or they let it down
into the cool well, or kept it in a
spring nearby.
The streets of Perry, during my
boyhood, were unpaved. The only
paved street (sometime in the
early twenties) was the main
street —Carroll Street.
There was a filling station just
in front of Union Motor Com
pany’s present location. It was in
the center of the street and traffic
going toward the schools and
churches took the left fork and
those going south in front of the
hotel took the right fork. There
were so few cars that collisions
were almost unheard of.
Went up to 45 m. p. h.
A “speed demon” of those days
was the late S. L. Norwood, who
was reported to have travelled as
fast as 45 miles an hour. Sam A.
Nunn Sr. also was known as som
thing of a “Barney Oldfield” of
those days.
My father bought a Model T
Ford every few years and I can re
call him putting the jack under it
on the first day he got it. He ran
it all night with that right back
wheel turning. This was called the
“breaking-in’ process that seemed
to be an essential to the smooth
operation of the T-Model.
We used to go to Jackson, Ga.,
for a visit every now and then.
This was the outstanding event of
the year. The family started out
about daybreak and if all went
well we arrived at Jackson, about
75 mlies away, late in the after
noon. A bad rain would just about
break up the trip. The “curtains”
were placed over the windows and
the rain came in as if the curtains
weren’t even there.
The car would slide all over the
red hills and about half the time
we had a flat tire before we got to
our destination.
Country Biscuits
I can recall, and others about
50 years old can, too, those coun
try biscuits that our mothers or
the cooks made. The left-over bis
cuits were placed in the “safe”
for later eating. We would come
home from school in the after
noon, get us a couple of biscuits,
punch a hole from the side with
our finger, then pour in some
syrup that seemed to be always
available. Now that was good eat
ing.
We were pretty bad boys, in
those days, too, about this bad
habit of smoking. When I was
quite young, we tried smoking
about everything. Do you recall
smoking corn silks, string, coffee
grounds and the ready - made
smoke, “Cubeb.”? Now Cubeb was
supposed to be good for clearing
the head, if you were suffering
from a cold, so we rationalized by
saying they were used for “medi
cine.”
This illegal smoking was usually
done back of the smokehouse and
it never lasted very long because
the lining of a small boy’s throat
can take just so much.

FALLING BLOSSOMS
Tomato and bean blossoms fall
ing off and missing kernels on
sweet corn can be blamed on Mo
ther Nature and any hot, dry wea
ther she brought on. Horticultur
ist Frank Cates of the Extension
Service explains that when night
temperatures rise to 80-85 degrees
and higher, you can expect such
problems. If relative humidity is
low and temperatures are high,
blossom shedding will be even
higher.
