AULD LANG sYNE!
Some Personal Recollections of
Incidents and Men OF Long s
Ago-By an Old Stager.

"Time and tide waitfor no man."
Men come and go. Times change!
New environments, new scenes face
usl New hopes and new aspira-
tions move and control us with adj
vanclng years, but amidst all, the
mind loves to revert to the days
and memories of childhood and
young manhood and toliYe them
over again in calm reflection. Aud
We dare say, with the knowledge
which time and experiences have
brought US, that improvement and:
correction would mark many a
past act of life, if permitted to live
our lives over again. Alasl such
cannot be save in memory.
1t was hard by the northern
banks of old Sleepy Greek that the
light of life burst upon us. By
way of parenthesis, permit me to
soy that We have never known
whence it derived its name, for 1T:
at times is quite a brawiing stream.
In the long sgo, it is remembered
that there was q place IN said
stream called "Cat Hole,n noted
for it's depth of water aud for it's
awe to children because of the fact
that two negroes had found watery
graves in it's bosom. Urchins
when bathing needed no warning
to steer clear of its deep water.;
The fame of "Cat Hole" was4known
of all the boys around. Among
my earliest recollections, was my
fathers removal from Sleepy to
Turkey Greek. An honest, indus
isrious, thrifty population made up
the citizenship of Sleepy Creek.
We remember old MI. Peter QUITS
