Tribble and Harrison Copeland, two of Clinton’s oldest and revered citizens. Mr. Tribble observed his 85th birthday on Sept. 28 last year, and Mr. Copelafid his 87th on Sep tember 24. Both gave interesting reminiscenses of Clinton in the long ago when it was a mere cross-roads community. Mr. Copeland said there*were only two churches in the early ’60s, Pres byterian and Methodist, with the col ored people occupying the galleries. At that time the Hurricane commu nity had a better school, he said, than Clinton. While he was attend ing the Hurricane school as a lad, A. M. “Doc” Copeland boarded with Mr. Tribble’s mother in that com munity. He said a grocery store kept a barrel of whiskey and sold it either by the quart or gallon. Two barrooms sold intoxicants by the drink. Clinton was a wicked place, MrJ Copeland said, with a bad reputation. Horse-racing, chickefn-fighting, gam bling and other evils were common. It was about this time, he said, that the Republican government sent a man here with signed papers to take over the post office. He was given a whipping, quickly departed and never came back. Clinton has five streams, according to Mr. Copeland, running in different directions, and affording a hi ;h lo cation. Catfish and turtles were caught where the C. N. & L. depot , now stands, he said, and there was a ; long pond extending from about ! where ! Blakely’s Shop is located to the W E. Owens residence on the corner of South Brdad and Centen nial streets. It was filled with clear water and was a popular fishing place. % f According to Mr.* Copeland, the pqlst office was located near the C. N. & L. freight depot. Bill Martin was [K>stmaster and in poor health. He Would get up and hand out the mail y.hcn it arrived, and then go back to bed. Believe it or not, Mr. J Copeland exhibited a pair of spectacles he said] he had owned and used for 47 years without repairs or changes.
