Faulkner, one of the n?XRtfa oldest citizens, delights to |Hf the happenings in this secjwgt when he was a young man. fie was in a reminiscent nmed a ' ittlMT i. 1 1 - . - J uay or nvo ago anu reiau u a a serenade by a number 'the town's young men in 1855, prefacing the story with the statement that while the forms of amusement for the boys and girls of today are more varied, it is doubtful whether they get more real enjoyment out of life than they did half a century ago. Said he: "Late one afternoon, in Augustv !v&L a number of citizens of Port mnl.'decidod tliey would have some fdn by serenading a few friends. W. J. Culp and T. G. Gulp at that time conducted a wood shop where the furnit*rcF sto^e of Mills & Young now :mds./ -They rigged up a twohutae?/ four-seated band wagon fr thib occasion and about sunAwri ithe young men who were o compose the party of serenaers feathered. The party was omiEosed of B. J. Patterson, Vn^Pulp, S. J. Faulkner and "a Ml). Faulkner, violinists; B. F. Powell, clarionet, and T. M. Baxter. B flat horn; besides T. B. Withers, J. M. White, J. M. Faulkner, W. J. and T. G. Culp and a man named Phillips. " "We drove out to the cross roads east of town and halted, as there was a cloud rising in the west. Some of the party concluded that it would be wise to have a little stimulants, for fear of an accident. T. B. With ers was a merchant here thep and sold French brandy, so he agreed to go to town and bring hack a supply. Presently he returned and then all was ready for the pleasures of the evening. "Our first stop was made at the home of old Uncle Billy Sizer's where we had some music, and the old gentleman furnished us with a decanter of choice old spirits. Some of the party ac cepted his hospitality and some refused. After we left Mr. Sizer's and had gone some distance a prominent physician joined our party. He never rode with a girth to his saddle for fear of accident. In going up,a hill his saddle commenced to slip and it was not long before he got in front of the saddle, with the Result that he lost both his saddle and medicine bags, but fortunately recovered them. "Our next stop was at R. M. fa (\\ ?1 s==ss=? I II . jj if^\ J II11 1 Miller's, where the late Daniel $' C. Wolfe afterwards lived. Music there also, and then some- a< thing- else, which one of the d< party refused, saying that he !was the grand worthy patriarch of the 'Sons of Temperance Lodge' at Fort Mitt^/Then we were off for the jUMftif Mrs. p Hagin's in Belao^HflR were 'G gathered a nunwBftSm young ai ladies.
