As evidence that it is all that has been claimed for it, we give the names and approximate ages of some of the older citizens in this part of the county: Mrs. Jane Simpkins, 93 years, Wyatt Dulaney 90 years, Lewis Akers 89, Jacob Smith 90, Elias Akers 86, Jehu Duncan 87, Mrs. Bethane Hurt 87, Blanch Duncan 85, Mrs. Blanch Duncan 83, Archibald Akers 81. There may be others that we do not recall at this time but this is a wonderful record for longevity in this section. Rev. Harvey Reed preached at the Alley School House at 11 o'clock and Rev. Michael Reed filled the pulpit at White Rock Church at the Sunday evening service. Noah A. Duncan, son of Blanch Duncan, who has been living in the west for the past thirty years is on his way with his family to visit relatives in the east. They are motoring from Wichita, Kans. The Mexican bean beetle is doing much damage to to gardens in this section. Calves are selling much higher this year than for some time. The chestnut blight is getting in its deadly work in this section. It looks now that all the chestnut timber will soon be dead. Much of it is already so. There is a very healthy political atmosphere in this county judging from the large number of good men who are offering for the various county offices. The familiar country store with a large stock of goods and its numerous customers and more numerous loafers is about to become a thing of the past. Whether for good or bad we will let those who formerly patronized them say, but for us we are sorry to see it so. Practically every farmer in this part of the county has a few acres of tomatoes planted, which he will can in the fall and market during the fall and winter. We do not know whether plowing corn, visiting or courting is the order of the day, neither do we know any one who is all smiles, wearing both shoes on one foot, stepping high, enjoys hearing from Punkinville or talking over the telephone; loves a Ford or Dodge best of all or purchased a pig, enjoys car riding, seen going toward Podunk or likes cold coffee. Neither do we wonder why. OLD TIMER (June 30,1927) ============== CARTHAGE POTPOURRI Straw hat season is here. N.J. Wade speaks of going to Washington soon. Walter S.
