'Continued from first page) Evaline McKaig. They were the parents of Laura Guinn Slaton, born January 18, 1860. Aunt Laura told me, “My paternal great-grandfather, Covlngtton C Guinn was the first man to run a store of general merchan- j in Chattanooga. I’ve listen-, ed to the ‘old folks’ tell how; ‘Uncle Cove’, as he was affec- i tionaly known, bartered with the Indians. They quoted him as Some people will tell you how an Indian will trade any¬ thing for some shiny object, without regard for its worth, but,” he said in his business relations with the Indians he scon learned that he was the ne left by an Indian with some worthless object while the* ‘poker-faced’ Indian had skin- ned him for his ‘hide and tal- j low' in the trade. However, with! he, became great friends many of the Indians who camped around Rising Fawn and I throughout the mountainous ; country of Georgia and Ten-! nessee.” j “When the war between the forced great-grandfather | Guinn to sell out his merchan¬ dise to some Eastern concern, he brought home many of the fine linens that were imported, china, silver and all the furni¬ ture the old home could hold. Then a great tragedy occured when the home burned to ashes one Sunday while the family at¬ tended church.” Aunt Laura was married to Uncle John Slaton in February 1879. They were the parents of eight children, seven daughters and one son. In the interval of Aunt Laura’s birth and her marriage is an interesting epi¬ sode. One evening a Calvary Troop of Union soldiers rode up to my great-grandmother’s door and the Captain ordered Aunt Laura’s mother to fix supper for his men. Being of Scotch descent, and quite stubborn, she told him that one of her baby daughters was desperately ill of pneumonia and she could not leave the child. This was true. After asking her several ques¬ tions the Captain wanted to know why a doctor had not been called in to see the child. She told him that she had no men folk on the place to send for the doctor. The husband was in the war and the slaves had run away and only she and “Mamy” were left to run the place. The Union Captain beck¬ oned to one of his men whom Aunt Laura’s mother later learned was a doctor and order¬ ed him to care for the child while the mother prepared the meal. The Union doctor worked very faithfully with the little girl and left medicine and or¬ ders for her care when they rode off the next morning.Oddly enough, the little girl recovered, and that little girl was Laura Guinn Slaton. Aunt Laura was bom within two miles of her present home where Uncle John brough her as ja bride, almost seventy-two years ago. On Sunday, at her birthday party, Aunt Laura wore a lovely black crepe dress with figures of pink rosebuds, and pink pearl buttons fashion¬ ed the front all the way down. On one shoulder was pinned a beautiful corsage of pink came- lias. Her little great-great ne¬ phew, David Guinn Bush, of Gadsden, Ala., presented her with a gold orchid which was flown into Gadsden from Hava¬ na. Cuba. This lovely orchid was pinned on the other should er. Her grand-daughter in law, Mrs. Leon Keith, designed and made her dress, as she did the birthday cake, which was beau¬ tifully decorated with spun red roses. It was as delectable in taste as in its design. The many friends who called to wish Aunt Laura a “Happy Birthday” are far too numerous to mention, but the following are the close relatives who were there for the gala birthday din ner: Her children. Mr. and Mrs. Purdle Slaton, Mrs. Callie Po¬ well, Mr. and Mrs. Steve Pitt¬ man and Sue and Mrs. Lydia Keith. Due to illness Mrs. Chari sie Huddleston of Oklahoma and Mrs. Jessal Walker of Ft. Pierce Florida, could not attend. Other relatives were Mr. and Mrs. Leon Keith. Hughdon and Joey, Mr. and Mrs. Guss Me Kaig, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Amos, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Moreland, Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Talent and Delano, Mr. and Mrs. William Street and Bonnie Sue, Mrs. La¬ mar Moreland^ Mr. Arthur My- rick and Artea Myrick, Mr. and Mrs. Canova Guinn, Dr. and Mrs. J. D. Bush and David, and Mr. and Mrs. John Slaton and baby. Agents Column COTTON The cotton situation In the United States has made it ne- eeasary for all controls to be lifted and farmers are being called on to produce all the cot- ton possible this year. Dade County Is not a large cotton producing county, however many of the farms are well adapted to nr< ducing cotton and on some , of these farms, cotton can be produced economically Those farmers who are inter¬ ested In cotton would probably be wise to tke advantage of the opportunity this year to build upth eir base acreage, in cases where they have been low and at the same time produce a good cash crop to supplement their farm income, Farir.lrs planting cotton anticipate the labor pro- blem in harvesting and plant only the acres that they have sufficient labor now available harvest. The acreage planted to cotton should be increased through in¬ creased yields per acre rather than a large Increase In acreage planted. Fertilizer and lnsecti- cides will be hard to get. These needs should be anticipated well in advance and the supply purchased and stored on the farm. Watch for more articles on cotton to follow each week.
