At Slate creek we found many
old friends. Josh Fockler is the
only general merchant of the town,

there for supplies.
Sike Reynolds whose latch
string always hangs out, was pre-

the Kanawha and mix a little
pleasure in with his business life.
Across the creek we found the
familiar smiling face of Uncle
Johnny Wood, who is enjoying the
fine winter, climate with his grand
son. Harry Col be, who is pro-
prietor of the old homestead.

thought he was the only man on
earth that could sharpen and steel
pick just right, and while the
glittering sparks flew from under
his hammer gave me in my tender
years much good advice for which
l am not only thankful but am
probably better man. l imagine
with his good family and the dear
little Pells arou nd him he is a
happy man.
