The Columbus dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 19??-1922, 1922-01-18

years.
We will now stop and take a look
at Mr. c. l.. Browns single mill.
/ It is not the kind that ruins good
timber by saving across the grain,
but a modern single mill that draws
them out like our grandfathers used
to make them in the days gone by.
Let's stop at Mr.. Dupree Woods
and take look at his modern syrup
making plant. Here Dupree makes
around three thousand gallons of the
finest syrup every year that is pos
sible to make. Dupree didn't have to
learn to make syrup; it is born in him.
His father, the late d. M. Wood made
syrup there for great many years
before his death.
Now just few steps and we find
the Caledonia telephone exchange.
Yes, sir, within a stones throw of the
Flint Hill Church. 1t is owned by
Messrs. X. J, Stillman and Dupree
Wood Mr.. Stillman's good wife at
tends to the service department,
which means that the patrons are as
sured of service that is service at all
times.
Right here on the rock road, just
a quarter from the church we see Mr..
j. N. Ellis woodworking shop. Here
Mr.. Ellis is equipped to do anything
in the wood working line. He can
make anything from a mint tooth
pick, to a suite of parlor furniture.
Altho he specializes in the making of
pillow stocks, and rebuilding wagon
wheels.
Well if you have looked around
here enough we will jaunt over to Mr..
H. D. w. Honnoll's. He has a saw
mill, grist mill, and blacksmith shop.
In this shop Mr.. Honnoll and his son,
Carlton, can make anything from a
hair spring for a Swiss wrist watch,
to a steel pullman coach, but they
prefer to sharpen plows and shoe
horses.
Flint Hill has a political record
that is by no means to be overlooked.
We. are today proud that our Honor
able Sheriff, c. w. West, is from our
community. And the Supt. of Educa-
ton, Prof. e. A. Stanley, taught Flint
Hill school for several years before
his election. Therefore, we take the
liberty of calling Prof. Stanley full
fedged Flint Hillite.
| will not attempt to tell you about
the many good cooks of our COM
as it would take a man with
a good many more words at his dis
posal than | can get together at this
time, but will say in passing, if you
never showed your mines under Flint
Hill table you are just back num-
Der.
Now I have gone with you through
the various activities of living men,
and women, hop on my imaginary
plane and we will fly to the most
beautiful place in our section, Here |
the rich and the poor, the high and
the low, the learned and the unlearl- |
ed, meet on a common level" it is the
beautiful Egger Cemetery. 1t was
here that that prince of men, the
late P. w. Maer said in an address
on the third Sunday Of May, 1918, "As
| stroll through your beautiful ceme-
terry | see names on these beautiful
that | knew long ago, /
pause. not to read the epitah, for |
knew that life too well, not to read
the date, for | remember the date as
we'll as if it was yesterday, but
pause to live again for an instant
with old friends" and the tear that
.rinkled down that old Christians
cheek told more than words could
tell it could be seen that "the warm
heart that throbs for others woes
had been touched" He only lived |
a few short months till he was called
10 his reward, not to live for an in
slant, but to live through eternity
With old friends and loved ones.
Now ! have tried &c give you a
,rief description of Flint Hill, anc /
viii add. all that we need to have an
o-goodnes town is store,
md railroad, not that we have so
much produce to ship away or that
We need so much stuff shipped IN,
}ut we need a railroad through here |
so our wives can stand out in the
back yard and wave at the conductor
rs the trains go by.
