about to close.
Moore, who is now 80 years
old, has been i'll for several
months and right now his son-in-
law, Hays Bates, is slowly dis
posing of the remaining stock IN
the old general store.
For a great number of years,
Grant Moore has been the Wills
creek correspondent for The
Journal-Leader and he has col
lected a wide number of avid
readers during the years with
his own unique style Of writing.
Moore fell six months ago and
broke hip shortly after he un-
derWent an eye operation IN
Guernsey Memorial hospital at
Cambridge.
About all that remains on the
stores shelves are couple OF
pairs of boots and shoes, a few
pieces of clothing, some 49-star
flags which were purchased
shortly after Alaska became a
state and just before Hawaii be-
came the 50th state.
Some canned goods, a candy
case with only few sundry
items and that's the store. EX-
cept, of course, for the bread
that is still delivered each day.
When everything is gone, Hays
will close the store for his father
in-law who has operated it since
1908.
Moore's father, Marshall, built
the little general store in 1852
on the headwaters of what Is
now Seneca Lake. The floor is
made of wide planks, probably
hand hewn, and held in place
with square nails, &lso believed
to be handmade.
1t also served as Moore's home
and for a long time it was the
only one on the secluded road.
Later it became post office
known as Billings and for many
years, it was the gathering place
for few widely scattered neigh
bOrS.
Grant Moore became a school
teacher and for many years he
taught in one room schools
around the area.
When his father decided to quit
the store, it was purchased by a
new owner and when he didn't
find business too successful, he
sold it to the present owner
Moore recalls that he bought the
building and its stock for $4OO
In years gone by, trappers
took their pelts to Moore for sale
Farmers, after butChering, tool
the hides to the general store
and found a ready sale. In turn
the Moores took them to Zanes'
vile, Coshocton, Newark, OF
Columbus for resale.
Swapping was practiced in the
early days of the store, Moore
said.
The Billings post office was
abandoned many years ago.
Moore joined the Summerfielc
Masonic Lodge about the time he
took over operation Of the store
and holds 50-year membership
pin. He was a notary public fol
many years.
Just as the One-room school!
have become a thing of the past
so has the general store anc
Moore has decided it's time fol
him to retire.
He lives on the farm where he
was born. With him is one o
his three daughters, Mrs. Hay
Bates. His other two daughter!
are, Mrs. Edna Carpenter o
Calais and Mrs. Earl Moore Wht
lives near Batesville. There ART
nine grandchildren .and "a great

of a family of four sons and tWt

but let me explain, please! Just listen
One of our ships, the Eastern Star, had
dOcked only that morning. About noon
they brought me word that David Creenlea
had come ashore, was drinking himself blind
in a waterfront tavern. David Creenlea,
my first cousin, wretched ne'er-do-well,
always drunk or fighting, always in trouble.
| had got him his berth on the Eastern Star.
Without my influence, he would have lost
it dozen times. But there was no gratitude
on his part, sir. None at all. Indeed, ne
hated me because Twas successful, respected,
everything he wanted to be - and was not.
n Ealevolent as he was, felt response
1Vl bic for him as a member OF the
family. And so | went down to that tavern.
| found him, drunk and disgusting. took
him into back room and ordered coffee.
We were alone there.
Sir, could you possibly let me have Gig
arctic? Look, I'll stretch my arm through
the bars as far as it will 60. If you could
Just put one in my fingers, I'd be so CRATE
full. Really, you don't know how agonizing
it is to watch another man smoke when you
-. oh, thank you, sir, you are most kind!
So made David drink the coffee. | got
him fairly sober, but he kept reviling me.
He accused me of secretly loathing him,
despising him. | said that | didn't desPise
him, | only pitied him. When | said that,
he gave me strange look, half drunken and
half cunning Then he smiled. ! tell you,
sir, have seen that smile thousand times
since, in my dreams.
let me show you a trick, Cousin Edgar,
he said, "a trick learned from sing-song
girl in Hong Kong. A little magic, black or
white, depending on where you sit"
He took something out of his pocket and
put it on the table, and saw that it was a
cone of cheap incense. First there must
be pity he said, smiling that evil smile,
''if the spell is to work. Then there must
be burnt offering, and finally there must
be the words"

thought he was raving, but l decided
to humor him. So L.. pardon me, sir,
could trouble you for light? You needn't
give me match, just hold the fame where
can reach it with the tip of the cigarette.
Thank you, sir. All, that's good.
So said to my cousin David, What
words?''
He had the incense lighted, now, and the
smoke was rising. He looked at me through
it, Just as l am looking at you. Then he
said the words. Come closer. Ill whisper
them to you. just little closer. There!
1t works! 1t works! By the ancient and
terrible gods, the spell still works! ! thought
it would, hoped it would! Oh, am sorry,
sir, to leave you in there. But | had to get
out, had to! And this was the only way.
l had to change places with you, don't you
see? had to exchange bodies with you,
Just the way David did with me!
Oh, please don't scream like that, and
shake the bars. The attendants will come
and put you in straitjacket. Because to
them you'll just be David Creenlea, mer-
chant seaman, hopeless paranOiac. And no
matter what you say, they won't believe
you. You'll have to bide your time, just
as did. You'll have to wait until someone
pities you, and then there must be burnt
offering, remember, and then the words.
Don't forget the words.
NTow must be going, for have much
1 to do. All, yes, much to do. My
cousin David will not be expecting me, not
looking like this. What surprise for David!
I'll take your car, sir, because you won't
be needing it any more. Thank you for
everything, especially the burnt offering
i mean, the cigarette. CoOd-by, sir.
