The Lexington advertiser., 1939-01-26

my good friend George Allen IN the Cen
terville community and of missing his
great Christmas dinner and | struck out
for his home to see il any of the scraps
from the feast could yet be found, and
as usual / found plenty to eat there
tat hsa been prepared by Misses Lessie
and Reece Autry. These fine people al
ways try to make me feel welcome in
their home and as a consequence | love
to go there. However on the way !
stoned at the home of Mrs. r. A. Mont
gomery, Mr.. and Mrs. David Montgom-
cry, Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey Brister, Mr..
and Mrs. Holmes, Mr.. and Mrs. Till Nc
Lellan and Mrs. Inex Taylor, and ar
rived st the home of Mrs. Tex Autry
about sundown, where my good friend
Geo. Allen hangs out.
Next morning being Saturday / de-
cided to return to Lexington but stopped
on the way first at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. G.. l.. White who have just recently
moved to the wilkins place from near
West. regretted to find Mr. White in
bed little indisposed and hope he may
soon be on his feet again. My next stop
was at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. J. W.
Morris where / spent . few minutes In
pleasant conversation with Mrs. Morris
and her clever young son L-rry Morris.
Mr.. Morris has been milking quito
number Of fine Jersey cows and selling
milk to the creamery but he recently
decided to sell the Jersey and switch
over to . beef breed. which think is
wise decision, for 1 believe he can real,
ize more profit from a good beef breed
l. L. ~
range is being cut all the time BY the
inflow Of settlers, and l feel confident
Holmes county is an ideal country for
the best breeds. Leaving here next
stopped at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. J..
D. Tate but the two young ladies whe
were holding the fort reported they had
gone to Lexington and journeyed on
and soon arrived in quaint old Bowling
Green and stopped first at the home of
. that fine old Roman, J. /. Mcclellan and
after spending a few minutes there
talking to the madam and admiring her
beautiful flock of Jersey Black Giant
chickens | ossed over to the store OF
Hugh Mcclellan and found his faithful
wife busy waiting on customer. She
soon warned me to be careful about how
prowled around Acona next time
went TO that fine old village and ex-
pressed fear that one of the merchants
there might assasinate me. Leaving
here logged on hurriedly and made
brief stop at the store Of c. o. Sudbeck
a short distance this side Of J. n. Tate,
the man who worries so much about me
not taking in a widow, and found Mrs.
Sudbeck holding the store down while
her spouse was on business trip to
Lexington. From here / continued on
but was greatly impeded by continued
heavy wind. 1t is quite tiresome to BIZ
cycle against the wind, and am already
dreading the approaching March wind
When nearing the cafe of A. L. Presley
turned to the right up the old high
way and when getting opposite the at
tractivc home of Mr.. and Mrs. G. b.
Howell a premonition or something
caused me to stop and invade the home,
and soon | was invited to seat at the
dinner table and ] proved to the entir,
satisfaction to those present that my ap
petite still remained good. After
pleasant little chat with members Of the
household | was soon back on the busy
.freets Of Lexington.
I am satisfied have some good friends
