Last Wednesday / was notified
that if wanted to take a nice trip
to be up and ready early Friday
morning, and before could do my
morning chores and get ready here
came dashing up to my front gate
fine two-horse surrey and the occu-
pants were none other than the
high Sheriff, Mr.. ]. T. Chiles, and
fair bride and Mrs. Frank Woody,
and soon we started and after driv-
ing eleven or twelve miles through |
a beautiful country we landed al
Crittendon Grove over in Number
Seven where a great crowd had
gathered to spend a day. 1t was
what / would call an educational
rally. Every one seemed to enjoy
the different speeches and essays.
and especially Prot. Miller's talk on
education. There were quite a
number Of good speakers on the
program, especially young Mr..
Hunt, who, after his speech, was
presented with two lovely bouquets,
which he Justly deserved, from a
couple of young ladies. The choir
made some very fiue music. This
was my first trip to Number Seven,
and somehow or somehow else |
never had a very good opinion Of
this district, but must admit l saw
some of as fine farms and nice
country homes and as fine crops OF
L. |
tobacco, as there are in Obion coun-
ty, and best of all, the most hospit-
able people ever met. AS every
one knows, Number Seven has al
ways been noted for its hospitality.
The dinner spread that day proved
it without doubt. don't think
ever saw just such dinner. The
crowd was estimated at nearly four
hundred, and I'll venture to say af-
ter every one had eaten all they
wanted and more than they really
needed, there was plenty left to
feed another such crowd. Some one
asked where John Barleycorn was,
and another said wish he was
here, and another exclaimed, l don't,
for if he was he would kill himself.
Some people wonder why the
Sheriff was so kind as to invite me
to accompany them on that grand
outing. I'll Just tell you. Mr..
Chiles has not forgotten the num-
Der of afternoons he strolled over
in Southside last summer for Gypsy
to tell his fortune and to tell him
just how to capture fair young
widow across the way. He well
knows that / told him ere many
months he would call her his own.
and now don't you all think he
ought to have remembered me I'M
der the circumstances.
Gypsy.
