W. DENNARD Before leaving my grandfathers home, I will tell you about his Smoke-house, his orchard and garden. It would have done your heart good to take a peep into this smoke-house and see the long rows of hams, bacon and sausage suspended from the cross pieces, while from the ground arose the fumes from piles of hickory wood.

On one occasion she had 30 couples coming from all directions, some from across the river, some from Selma, and they didnt have any flying machines nor autos and paved roads. But they got there. Some had to or-ss thg river as beBt they could, while those from Selma, (just picture lt If you can,) had to drive through mushy Beach Creek, which had no bridge, and -then face Blue Girth swamp.

It was considered a find piece of engineering vhen it was discovered that it could be made more passable by laying logs or poles in the bottom to keep the traveler from sinking out of sight. This was called by the euphonious name of corduroy road. But guests braved all this and attended Rebeccas party. I must tell you one of AUjit Pollys slaves, who was real loyalty. He happened to be among a group-captured In Africa.

He was the son of an African king and the captain was offered his weight in gold for his return but no ransom was "high enough to induce the captain to expose himself to such a risk.

And theyre not satisfied with ONE washing, but they make those bottles go through hot water many times. Wish youd come visit our home.

Then youd know why Cloverleaf Grade Pasteurized Products have so many satisfied customers. CLOVERLEAF CREAMERY GRADE A PASTEURIZED PRODUCTS Dont Spend Sleepless Nights Worrying I do know the smoke-house sufficed for plantation purposes and home, while barrels of hams were loaded on the boat to be sent to the children, and much was given to the needy. Grandfather also had a large herd of sheep which furnished the wool for the nice warm clothing for the plantation. My grandmother, who was an invalid for many years, must have had a very accurate eye, for with just the height of the person and the size of the waist, she sat up in bed and cut coat and pants which fitted perfectly. Every Peach That Grew If you could have visited the orchard you would have found every peach that grew in that day as well as applesi but no pears as they were brought down from Blount County in wagon-loads and easily bought.

Peaches, when In season, and cream, graced the table every day and those Indian peaches; what good pickles and preserves they made! After the preserves were cooked the big stone jars were kept In the hot sunshine for days for them to mellow. Sacks of dried peaches and apples filled the pantry and those never-to-be-forgotten brandy peaches. Many huge jars, filled with them, also were kept in the pantry and grandmother had to keep the key for grandfather said he couldn't stay out of them. Just a word about the yard and garden: white and purple lilacs coses galore grew in the yard b.ut not content wRh that they mist needs invade the garden and flaunt their beauty and perfume in the faces of the lowly vegetables which were fulfilling their destiny in their humble way, serving the material needs. However, the grounds looked like a walled city, for it was laid off in rows crossing each other at right angles.

And these avenues were kept scrupulously clean. Each vegetable family had a square or block to itself and when ou came to the strawberries they had two or three blocks. The garden herbs and scup-pernong trellises occupied two squares. Delicious Incense How delicious was the incense that arose from rosemary, thyme, tansy'and sage. Fragrant memories of the olden days are thesei It sounds like modern times to speak of a highway but there it was, running in front of our house connecting Selma and Montgomery.

As I have aald, along this highway plied the stage-coach line which dally conveyed passeng and mail. The well stood outside the yard, not far from the road, so it was a favorite place for the drivers to stop for water and refresh themselves, as my grandfather, Anthony Minter, held many a chat with the fares. The highway traveled due west and In a mile you cam to Aunt Pollys home. She was grandfathers sister, Mary, who married Jason Gardner. Her home, like grandfathers, had for its foundation heart timbers of the virgin pines which grew over the place.

The mantels and wainscoting were of solid maple. So substantial was the house that it Is intact today. Aunt Polly had a number of children, Louisa (Goff); Anna Powell (Mrs. Phillip Weaver); Virgil who married Margaret Ayletts; Garland (unmarried); Mary Ann (Wyckoff); Maria Elisabeth (Chandler); Rebecca (Mrs. Bartholomew Smith); John and Martha, who died young.

Colony Formed Several of these children formed little colony, building right around the curve of the road which now comprises our mail route. Right at the curve of the roed overlooking the Alabama river, was the home of Rebecca, whose hus-b a Bartholomew also was' Most of lifes worries are about little bills and obligations. But theres no need of worrying. Arrange for a loan with us to clear all of those small obligations at one time, repay In small monthly payments, and see how relieved youll be. Selma Financing Loan Company Getting right down to it, one reason why you get as much as 10 to 15 more "miles per gallon from a 1941 Fireball Buick with Compound Car-buretion is that this engine is supplied with more air.

For it is a mixture of gasoline and air that gives you power. A single carburetor, no matter how many jets it bas, can handle only so much air. But two carburetors that function as needed, as is the case in Compound Carburetion, can meet any fuel-supply need from low-speed to heavy-power use and always provide a well-balanced mixture. They can double the air supply as well as the gasoline feed and thats some thing you cant do in any single-carburetor car. So Compound Carburetion gets as much as 800 miles for the gas-cost of 700 in earlier Buicks of the same size.

It also provides a walloping big bank of reserve power, which means an up and-at-em lift and surge thats nothing short of thrilling to experience. And you can have Compound Carburetion, you know, on any 1941 Buick its only a few dollars extra on the swell big Special pictured here, and standard equipment on all other models. for the Business My Friends: 0 I wish to thank each of you for your generous patronage during my connection with the Dixie Overland service on Broad St. I AM NOW OPERATING THE Gulf Pride Station IN CLANTON, ALABAMA and will greatly appreciate the privilege of serving you any time you happen to be in Clanton.
