Most every home along the way
where l live has one or more mag.
nolias growing, and each tree has.
some peculiar characteristic. Just
across the Bladen line into Pende1
is the domestic Of my old home
Years ago the old home was de-
stroyed by fire. But the two large,
tall and beautiful magnolias ye,
remain as a tower of strength tt
guard the dearest spot of all to me
Then just in sight are the lovely
magnolias at the home Of my
brother, z. v. Corbett.

Then on up this way in Bladeh

blooms, their sweet fragrance

large as a dinner plate, reaching
from the ground to way up in the
sky, same as the Star of Bethle-

Just a strip of woods divide my
magnolias from the one of my
nearest neighbors, Mrs. Kate
Bloodworth-hers, to my opinion,
is the most beautiful specimen OF
magnolia I have ever seen.
Pridgens Home
Then on up the line comes sever
al more of these lovely trees at
the home of MI. Dennis Pridgens.
They are close to Colly run and
they seem to be a continuance OF
the natural beauty around them.
Since the highway construction,
by state convicts as laborers, has
been going on in this section, it
included the parts of Bladen and
Fender counties where I have just
mentioned these lovely magnolias.
The head men have been much
impressed by their magic beauty.
An honor roll convict, also, has
been touched with their charm as
