From the point where Hurri cane creek crosses Highway 76, near the top of a hill (this in itself being quite an oddity) for something like 600 yards the creek has a precipitous fall. The water for the mill is taken from the creek right near the highway bridge, and through a contour canal down back of the old mill, where it has a 40-foot falL There it is turned onto the over-shot water wheel, which is 40 feet in diam eter and develops great power in its rather slow rythmic turns. It i» not known when this mill was built, but it is certain that it was in operation in 1826. The present owner and operator is George W. Smith, Anderson route 2, who has had it for 48 years. The mill grinds flour, meal, grits, feed, shucks and shells corn, and runs a sawmill from the water wheel. The gin, which was operated there for many years, has been discon- jtinued.

I’d better watcb out which^ side my bread was buttered on? I never understood ‘till years later what he meant by it, as I always ate both sides anyway. Those days most babies learned to sit alone by sitting in a horse collar. Their teething was done on a harness ring. Folks just went up the ridge and cut a thorn bush to sweep their yard in the spring. It not only cleaned it, but culti vated at the same time. . About that time the women folks would take a couple of dozen eggs to the store and swap them for a yard of print calico to make a ruffled split bonnet for summer wear. And men and women sat on oppo site sides of the church. • • • From Mrs. Minnie Thomas, Bland, Missouri: 1 was born on a Missouri farm 60 years ago and wonder how many remember the pretty “lawn dresses” we wore and washed gently, hanging them in the shade so they wouldn’t fade . . . the frilly petticoats, often three or four . . . the’ “trundle bed” with a shuck tick to sleep on . . . children’s shoes came to the store in a wooden barrel in stead of shoe boxes . . . we had free range and the cow bell could be heard far from home ... it was a disgrace for a girl to have a date during the week days . . . wooden- ashes from huge fireplaces were put into a hopper and saved to make lye fbr soao.
