Pleasant Auto Trip.
Last Sunday Agent R. C.
Thompson, wife and son, Master
Elliott, and the editor and wife
motored in the former’s car to
Gross County where we spent a
tew hours the guests of his fath
er and mother, Mr. and Mrs. D.
M. Thompson of near Vanndale.
The party left McCrory at 1:40
P- m. and arrived at the Cotton
Lelt Railroad at 3:20, the sped
ometer registering 15 miles.
Continuing east we passed Ham
lln on the north at 3:50 with the
spedometer showing 21 miles
and when we reached Wynne at
1.40 it showed we had covered
30 miles of road.
At Wynne we turned north to
anndale, stopping at the beauti
ful county home of Mr. and Mrs.
• Hare who reside three and
one-half miles north of Wynne
\fe we refreshed ourselves
^]tn a cool drink (water of
course) and spent 20 minutes,
t 5.15 we bade them goodbye
continued our journey arriv
LnJ at Vanndale at 5:25, and at
„+5 we drove up to the front1
^ate at the home of Mr. and'
Mrs. D. M. Thompson who re
side in their beautiful country
home located on a rich tract of
land consisting of 160 acres on
Ci aw by s Ridge. We found
that we had made the 40-mile
run in four hours, with no acci
dents or trouble whatever.
It was our pleasure to spend
an hour and a half with these
good people. It was not a case
of the “Prodigal Son’s Return,”
but nevertheless the good eats
were soon prepared and we en
joyed the hospitality of this good
and truly southern home to the
fullest.
Chalmers and his father seem
ed to vie with each other in
showing us the old homestead,
its excellent crops, fine jersey
cattle, good horses and mules,
and even the large artificial pond
made in the green pasture for
the cattle and live stock. Mr.
Thompson has only one acre of
his crop in cotton, but it is some
of the best we have seen and he
stated he would make a bale on
the acre which we do not doubt.
His corn is some of the best and
he also believes in growing plen
ty of potatoes, peanuts and other
such products of which he has a
nice crop on his place.
While there we also had the
pleasure of meeting Mr. and Mrs.
Raymond Bufford who reside in
a beautiful new home a short
distance from the latter’s parents
Mr. and *Mrs. Thompson. At
7:20 we said “goodbye” and
started on our return home, com
ing the Bay Road via Levesque
and Wynne. Returning from
Wynne we came the southern
route crossing the Winters
Bridge at Languile River. Con
tinuing we crossed the Iron
Mountain Railroad at Hamlin,
the Cotton Belt just north of
Pair Oaks, thence to Morton
where we turned our wheel north
driving three miles to the Pump
kin Bend road and thence west
via the White Lake Bridge reach
ing home at 12:30 Sunday night.
The distance traversed on the
return trip was 45 miles.
Misses Cleo and Gladys Thomas
3f Judsonia are spending the
week here the guests of their
sister, Mrs. W. N. Hougelin.
G. G. McCrory, E. C. Marsh
and Bill McCain motored to Au
gusta Monday evening in the

bad a delightful time joy riding.

panied home by Miss Rita Wal
lace of Little Rock, who is spend
