RECOLLECTIONS OF
SCOTLAND NECK 81
YEARS AGO
By Thomas n. Hill

Mrs. Peoples lived on her farm
with ker two sons, Wesley and
Andrew. Andrew died in the
late seventies. Wesley is still
living in Eastern N. c.. With the
exception Of Tom Fenner Wes-
ley could make more noise than
any man [ ever saw, especially
when he was riding a little white
pony at breakneck speed through
the town.
The professional men in Clarks
vile at this time were DIR. Stuarl
Hall and hi sson, DR.. James b
Hail. my father, a lawyer and
Mr.. Alex Il. Smith, lawyer; the
Rev. John Norwood, Rector Of
the Episcopal Church who lived
with us when we lived at the
Luther burlington place and
when we moved to the Smith
place he lived in the little Fer
ncr cottage. Mr.. Durham was
the first Baptist minister I have
an recollection of in Clarksville,
he was succedd by Mr.. Vann, and
he in turn by DR.. Huffman. The
first dentist OF my recollection
was d red headed man named
Murreu. l don't think he re-
mained very long in Scotland
Neck. DR.. Murrell was not a
resident Of Clarksville. He l;v
ed somewhere IN Newtown, and
| mention his name because i
am sure a great many Of the
old people in S. n. have long
since forgotten all about him.
There was a travelling dentist
who came through the country
now and then, pulling teeth and
filling them, named Robinson. 1
remember when he pulled some
teeth for my mother in 1873; Of
course he used nothing to dead
en- the pain: his Instruments
were clumsy he was a very large
man and not very apt with lis
tools; consequently when the
old doctor was around you could
always tell it by the cars his pa
tients made when he was at work.
The first school I ever attend
ed, not as a pupil, but as visitor
now and then with my brother
Caesar, was taught by Miss
Mary Davenport. Her school
room was one Of the front rooms
IN Mr.. Fenner's house. / do not
remember much about the bows
and girls who went to Miss Mary,
nor about her except I thought
she was very pretty. She not
only had beauty but a temper as
we'll. All were afraid Of her and
there was no laughing or talking
in her school room.

establish travelling Clinics. Temporal
ry provision is made in each locality
for a dentists Office. In other local.
ties school houses have beer used for
this purpose, and the Red Cross and
Anti-Tubereulosis Associations have
met the expense. Nurses in cities
have free access TO clinics where
children may be taken for treatment
and the parents advised. This privi-
lege is denied the nurse in rural dis
tricts to "A great extent and other

idea of the work accomplished by the

very small part, however, and each
year the duties become greater. There
is a common belief that country chill
dren are always well fed, but a very
limited observation will prove that as
many children in the country are un-
dernourished as in the city, and this.
not because of poverty. but because OF
lack OF knowledge Of the fundamental
principles of food and nutrition.

in one school in Pleasantville. About

is slow. no doubt, the results in the
future generations will more than pay
