NOTABLE BIRTHDAY VISIT.

Aunt Betsy Milan was born July
10th, 1881, hence was SO years old on
that day when | visited her. Hers is a
sprightly bright mind for her great
age and her hair is but about half
gray. Sometimes late in the after
noon she visits the farm to see now
the work is going On. Her mind is
bright about things that happened in
her younger days. Aunt Betsy was
three weeks old when the first church
house was built at Mt. Gilead and her
mother cooked the dinner for the
hands that raised the walls, and in
the work she was assisted by Aunt
Betsy White, a neighbor. Her father,
the late G. H. Buck, was born in the
state of Pennsylvania, was reared in
North Carolina and married Susan
Neisler and moved to Tennessee in
1927. He was reared by the "Old
School" Presbyterians but was a
Cumberland Presbyterian all his life
and was an elder in the church. Aunt
Betsy says hat in those days men
had to go five miles in every direc-
ton to roll logs and it was the Gus
tom for each mar to make his log
heap before breakfast. The first
church elders whom she remembers
were Joshua Gibbs, Jackson Petty
and father, and the first Cumberland
Presbyterian preacher she ever heard
was Rev. Jordan Lambert. The church
house was built of large poplar logs,
% and "a feet long. The door for the
ladies was on the West side and for
the men or the South. The old ladies
sat on the left of the pulpit and the
brethren on the right, the young la
ladies further back on the left and the
young men on the right. Ladies and
gentlemen were not allowed to sit
with each other. The pulpit was
breast high. Aunt Betsy has been a
member of the C. P. church ~ years.
She was married to l.. NJ. Milan,
August l, 1850, and Mr.. Milan, who
was also a lifelong Presbyterian has
been dead just four years and eight
months. Aunt Betsy was reared in
one mile of Mt. Gilead church. She
had two sisters, Sallie Cook and Pol
lie Neisler, and eight brothers, Jack
son, Charles, George Milton, William.
Wilson. Jordon and Alexander. She
owns a farm and lives two miles
North Of old Centre Hill. known as
the Dan't McCollum place.

The teachers of Henderson county
closed last Thursday one of the most
interesting and profitable institutes
ever held in Lexington. County Sup
erintendent J. o. Brown had active
charge of the meetings-a fact which
gave insurance of success from the
first-and kept the interest growing
until the close.
Prof. j. H. Bayer, Principal of the
Grove High School, of Paris, Tenn,
was the principal instructor in the in
stitute and gave the teachers not only
the instructions necessary to help
them in their work, but left with
them a feeling of the great respon-
sibility and opportunity of a teacher,
and inspired them with the belief that
they could make good, and with the
determination to be a leading factor
in raising the standards of the COM
munities in which they r. to labor.
Superintendent Brown and Prof.
Bayer were assisted in the institute
work by County Agent H. A. Powers,
Profs. w. C. Crook, w. Z. Petty and
J. A. Bobbitt
Before the institute adjourned,
steps were taken to improve the
school spirit of the county by plan
ming a series of rallies in the various
communities of the county during the
summer, and a committee was APP
pointed to work out the details of
these meetings. Prof. Bayer gener-
ously donated sufficient money to Sc
cure a banner for the school district
making the best showings in these
rallies.
Prof. j. o. Brown was unanimously
endorsed by the teachers to succeed
himself at the expiration of his pres
ent appointment and a resolution was
offered asking the county court to
continue him in the work.
Examinations were held Friday and
Saturday, bringing the weeks work
to an end. SECRETARY.

"REMINISCENCES
81 W. v. BARRY.

Every now and then it occur to me
that in the matter of "reminiscences
something a little more recent than
the bulk Of what ! have written in the
columns of the Tennessean and the
Progress may not be amiss, so here
goes one which is not yet old enough
to be accused of wearing hirsute
adornment:
One day when on my way to Nash
vile, on the Nashville, Chattanooga
& st. Louis Railway, l was walking
along the car isle when | came to two
seats turned facing each other and on
the first seat, on my left sat two la
dies, evidently mother and daughter
and a baby, evidently the child Of the
younger woman-and that the baby
was a girl was unmistakable because
of the ready response when | spoke
to the little one and held out my
hands-for a girl baby loves a man,
always.
On the back Of the next seat sat
what | call a "pimp" of the day and /
at once judging him to be the hus-
band of the younger lady and father
of the baby, said to him, behind my
hand, in order that the ladies might
not hear me, There is nothing like
a baby except another one" to which
he replied, with all possible contempt
expressed on his weak face, Excuse
me, if you please" Then | said to him,
young mar (still in a low tone of
voice. want to tell you of a remark
a friend of mine made to me. That
friend said to me and in his charac-
teristic way called my name, Barry,
did you ver see a fellow who said he
had a baby for whom he would not
take a million dollars and that he
would not give fifty cents for another
one?" and / said Eyes, Bill, / have
seen that fellow, why?-for it was
Judge W. M. Taylor, born and reared
in Lexington, but now residing in
Blytheville, Ark, to whom | was talk
ing. Judge Taylor replied, "Well, the
fellow who makes that statement is a
d-n liar he don't want the one he
has got" / walked on and left the
aforesaid young pimp starring at me
and have not seen him since-nor
have | had the least desire to do so. /
hate to tell that Will Taylor used the
word necessary to emphasize his re-
mark-but my "reminiscences must be
chronicled just as they happened. And
| want to add that in my opinion the
two states of Tennessee and Arkan-
sas hold no whittier" man than viii
Taylor. He set type in the Progress
office when he was a little fellow
and nov he has long been married,
is the father of ten or eleven chill
dren and his dark hair is heavily
sprinkled with silver threads. Both
Tennessee and Arkansas are better off
that they have had such a citizen as
Will Taylor.

WORTH IT'S SPACE IN PRINT.

st. Joseph, Mo.-"May his tribe in
creased"
This is the substance of hundreds
of letters of praise by Walter p. Full
ton, banker, since his announcement
a few days ago that he would build
houses for the people with children;
That only those who had children
could rent his homes; that newlyweds
who had no child at the end of a year
must give way to those in whose
home the happy laughter of little
children rang.
Fulkerson has received from 200 to
800 letters from Main to California
praising him as a pilot who is blaz-
ing forth the dawn of a better day
for children.
And his office in the Bank of
Buchanan county, Of which he is
president, is the scene of a continuous
stream of visitors who want a house
"a home where children will be wei
come, where parents may bring up
their kiddies in a decent community
and start them in life's struggle at
least not with the handicap so many
are now forced to bear through ban
ishment to homes none would live in
except as a last resort.
Fulkerson is simply a plain,
straightforward business mar who
wants to do his bit. For years he has
been known in St. Joe as a "commun-
ity builder"

| made my announcement" he said.

the way landlords place a premium on

mother is dead.
"I've been in school board work a
long time-guess because I'm rather
good natured and like dealing in
problems of the children. When other
business men begged off with the ex-
cuse that they were too busy, they
always turned to me. Then, subeon-
sciously | suppose, what Theodore
Roosevelt preached on race suicide
helped plant the idea"
Fulkerson said that he had read in
a local paper an advertisement Of
homes for rent with these two words
in big type: mo CHILDREN"

THOSE FIvE-CENT DAYS

Once upon time a nickle was real
money-but those days have gone.
In the days of our youth water
melons could be purchased from the
passing farm wagon for the sum OF
five cents, but now not even the
transparent slice can be obtained for
this sum.
( Enough bananas could be bought
for five cents to give three boys
Indigestion, but that was long ago.
There was a time when small boys
were wont to do chores around the
home for the coveted nickle-but not
now.
We can forget the man who used
to walk into the cigar store and say
in loud voice, "Give me a good
nickle cigar"
There was a time when a nickle
bought a loaf of bread. a dish OF
ice cream. paid for shoe shine and
even made a stable tip. Some OF
the old citizens, in their more rem.
iniscent moods, can recall those days
OR at least they say they can.
But gradually, one by one, the
uses of the "jitney" passed away. II
would buy nothing to eat, nothing
to drink, unless reinforced by the
once despised penny, until only Z
ride on a street car remained to bt
secured in exchange for the nickle.
And then the street railway com
pany followed in the wake OF Ions
and illustrous procession of profit
