Well Ill tell you The Bible says God made the world in six days and rested on the seventh then there were the seven plagues sent on old Pharoah of Egypt and the seven vials and the seven candlesticks All this is in the Bible proving that seven is the nupiber with power No seventh son healer will accept pay for their healing They will rise at the hour of midnight to stumble miles through the dark to wait on some afflicted person but just let that person offer him money and he will turn his back upon the temptation and go away never to return to that home even though its inhabitants are later brought down with thrash phthisic mumps measles and every other ailment known to mankind CAP-TIONS SYRACUSE (UP) Prob lems of Syracuse taxi drivers have been capped by a city ordi nance Cabbies the police de partment announced must wear a gray uniform cap that must be approved by Police Chief John A Kinney A cabby must tip his hat to the rule or face a fine as high as $50 a 30-day jail sentence or loss of his licenses SPECIAL MASONRY FAINTS or transparent protective coat-' ings should only be applied to walls that have been carefully pointed up 1 CORDERSED STATEMENT OF C0RDITI0R 1 The Kingsport National Bank Among my people you hear a lot about the healing powers of the seventh son There is scarce ly an illness of the flesh that will not flee away before some of the many forms of ministrations of the seventh son of a family That is what my people have believed for generations and generations and it is what many of them still believe and will no doubt go on believing through many generations to come I could not count on the fingers of my hand the seventh son healers I have known and I have heard of many others in distant reaches of the mountains The seventh son of a family is born with extraordinary powers or as we might putUt the gift of healing He hardly reaches the age of understanding when neighbor begin coming to him with their aches and pains confident in the belief that he has the power to drive out their miseries as Christ cast out devils Back when I was young I lived a neighbor tofCain Baker whose son called Doc was the seventh in the line of male children with not a daughter in between If Doc had any other name I never heard it The people on Beaver Dam Rockhouse and the head of Carr hardly waited until Doc Baker was put in breeches (boys in those days wore dresses until they were four or five) until they started bringing aching teeth bleeding from cuts and many and various diseases to him never doubting it seemed that the visit would result in anything less than a complete cure Doc was just a little thing at the time I knew him and I have stood a silent witness to his healing many an ache or pain Doc didnt want to do it It seemed that he was sad over the whole setup which had been instigated by his mother Aunt Winnie as soon as the child was able to walk and talk At first it may be presumed Doc didnt understand what it was all about But as he grew older he learned the ways of his trade had his profession well mastered yet he never learned to like his calling forced upon him by nature and an ambitious mother Once (and he was around ten at the time) I witnessed Doc curing a bad case of thrash The child about six months old seemed about to choke on the phlegm working from the corners of its little mouth and sliming down its blushed cheeks Doc could hardly stomach the ireatment that hts mother and the childs mother insisted upon him giving the suffering infant Finally with the little sufferers mother holding "her offspring and Docs mother urg-ng him on with a push and a pat on the back he took the babys lips within his own and blew his breath down the childs throat with all his might and the treatment administered Doc grabbed his breeches which needed a gallus and ran around the house and down the trail to hide himself in the barn But alas and alack for Doc He had no more than reached what he thought would be safety when his mammy started calling him back to rub a goiter on a womans throat who had just arrived after walking all the way rom the head of Carr a good fifteen miles away Nearly every community had KINGSPORT TENNESSEE THE OICKENS ASSOCIATES ARCHITECT S'5 INTERIOR In the bath the tub's away from the window (avoids drafts) Here you also get a glimpse of two of the linen closets As Of June 30 1953 MOVING?
