Henderson daily dispatch., 1938-05-20

! when they had killed mammoth
bronze wild-turkey and had the feast
which was the original of the one
which we celebrate every fall at the
harvest time.
I suppose the cradle was akin TO
that one in which Virginia Dare, the
first white child born in our great, new
country, w1s rocked to sleep, as her
mother sang the first lullaby ever
sung in this country in the English
language.
translucent, and transparent glass
ware was on the shelves; some with
basket-weave; some milky-white with
all kinds of frills and Open-work like
that of a hand-crocheted centerpiece;
some was etched and some looked as
though it had been carved; some had
designs made as you decorate birth
day cake, with the molten glass
squeezed out of cone; in fact, he had
every kind of glass but burnt glass
and isln-giass.
A chest of drawers was there which
looked like it might have graced a
room of Waterloo (the ancestral
home of John B. Watkins, .Jr) which
house he says was owned by Chesley
Daniel about 1900.
There was a kind Of sofa called a
love seat; old lamps with marble
bases; u rocking chair with rockers,
like those in which our great-great-
grandmothers used to sit and knit.
Let us leave Lueco and Miss erich
ION sitting there among all those
beautiful things, while your Old Nose
meanders on down the road, only to
get ride with an old friend, Macon
Harris. Macon lives on the farm of
Mr.. and Mrs Ben Matthews, whose
daughter (Miss Clyde) he married.
They have one daughter, Carolyn, age
eight years.
Macon is the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Benjamin Franklin Harris, not many
miles away from that same cOmmun-
ity, and until Macon had past the
twenty-first year of his life, he had
never spent but one night from home.
When he turned off the highway at
the Pine Ridge Station, he stopped
for me to escape. There with Fatty
wilson 1 wal.ed until another car
stopped to BRING me or my last lap
nciue. The driver proved to be Milton
Dworsky, who lives at Henderson,
out runs a furniture store at Oxford.
And if you want your dollars worth
of fun, just watch Millions antics
while in the barrier chair getting
haircut or shave. He sat in a chair
opposite me some Saturday nights
ago. and just saved my picture show
ticket money by Watching him.
With Mirton were his father, M.
Dworsky, anu his sister, Miss Bessie.
Miss Bessie is glad school is out. She
likes to read, and to embroider and
to spend the summers in the country
and ride horseback and go swim
ming. Sc
But 1 forgot to say that I saw
bucket tull Of beautiful amaryllis
blooming at the edge of Henderson
on the. steps of the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Kenneth VI. Hawkins. There
seemed to be ten or a dozen stalks OF
the prettiest coEal-colored blossoms.
Just the very exact color of those old
time coral brooches ladies used to
wear years ago. cBut whenever you
see pretty flowers, you may know it
means Somebody has put out some
pretty good work on them, for flowers
except wild flowers) don't just bloom
Mr.. and Mrs. r. L. Johnson of Ok
ford, Route 4, love to have their
friends and relatives call on them.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ky,C. Hill and family,
and Mr.. and Mrs. e. E. Hill and son,
all of Stem, were guests of the John
sons Sunday Melvin and Marvin
Cash of Creedmoor also spent the
afternoon with them
