Some Recollections
Of 'Anniversary' Days
Reminiscenses of Presbyterian
Sunday School Celebrations In
the Long Ago.
The First Presbyterian Church
celebrated its Sunday School an
niversary on Saturday before the
second Sunday in May.
I recall many years ago on one
anniversary day, I was agent for the
Seaboard Air. Line the whole town
was crowded with people, particu
larly from the business section to
and around the Presbyterian church
—people everywhere. We had to po
lice our track to clear it for an in
coming passenger train.
An amusing incident happened on
\he arrival of the train. The con
ductor asked a little colored boy
standing near the train what adl
the crowd of people meant, the boy
replied “This is anniversary day”.
He understood the boy to say “Miss
Anna Versity was dead”.
I went out of my office to' speak
to conductor. He said Miss Anna
Versity must have been a very pop
ular lady. , —
I told him I did not understand
him. He said the little colored boy
said that Miss Anna Versity was
dead why so many people here. > ,
We both had a good laugh after
I told him that the boy really said
“This is Anniversary Day”.
—W. H. SHANDS.
Anniversary Preparations
I came to Clinton seven years af
ter the last anniversary, but mem
ories were still fresh in the minds
of people. I loved to hear the late
W. D. Copeland tell of his first trip
to the state fair. Scarcely within the
gates, he purchased a bag of banan
as to take home to “Sister Hamp”.
By noon, the bananas having reach
ed a batter stage, he and the paper
bag were well worn out when a
sign, “This way for Ice Cold Water,”
revived his spirit. Having drunk to
the utmost satisfaction, he was sud-
• Want a tube of toothpaste,
cigar, or refreshing drink? Then
go to any drug store in your
neighborhood. You can also buy
candy, magazines, books, and
toys. The druggist renders a real
service in making these and thou
sands of similar items available.
When you have a prescription to be filled, how
ever, select your pharmacist with care. Pharmacy
is a profession with us and not a side line. Our
chief efforts are devoted to the compounding of
prescriptions. Your doctor’s orders are safe with
us and his instructions are followed to the letter.

“YOU CAN’T BEAT VALUE”
Idenly knocked over by the demand
1 “Five cents a dipper please.” “Man
alive, you must be crazy; charge
for a dipper of ice water when at
our anniversary we give away tubs
and tubs of lemonade; come to our,
anniversary in Clinton next May and
see for yourself.”
Larry says tnat In bis community
Time was reckoned by the anniver-.
sary. In order for certain patches to;
yield their best they must be work
ed out by that time.
Months ahead preparations were
made for horses were curried, ve
hicles purchased and bolts of mater
ials made into garments with this
one end in view. Larry, having
reached the age when boys look
more than once in the mirror to see
if the part in their hair is straight,
told his father that they needed a
new carriage for anniversary. Being
denied .this request he made up his
mind that if the old carriage had to
mak^e this trip it would be the last,
for he was going to tear it to pieces.
Despite the protests of Miss Lula
Blackwell, the school teacher, and
the pleas of thfe 1 little Dillards, he 8
gave the horses full rein; hit every ||
rock possible, dashed through mud
holes, up hill down hill and in the
true Biblical fashion parted the wat-
erf of Duncan’s Creek. Little Jes- j|
sie, tho, forgot her mod ride as soon
as she heard little Clair Hays, in a!
spotless white suit, give his anni-
versary welcome speech. She knew j:
right then he was destined for greatly
things and that she need not look
further for her knight in white ar
mor.
My heart goes out to any child
whose life -has not been touched by
| similar occasions. My early child
hood was on the verge of the old
camp meeting days when families 1 -*■
j left their homes and went for miles
to pitch their tents or live in cab
ins for two weeks that they might
tenjoy the blessings of a religious ”
feast, for twice daily services were
held ' under an enormous arbor. At
the noon hour; a table, seemingly a
mile long, groaning with the weight
of food. &
I wish that Larry and I could ga- |
ther our brood from scattered parts 8
that they might have a glimpse of t-j
former days, for verily such days
are good for the soul.
