OL- o OOVINGTON.

Once again I find myself strollingalong the streets of the old town,hoping to meet some old remember-ed face, but none appear to give mewelcome: At last I come to thecorner where once stood the largoand busy wheelwright shop onceowned by Nathan Page. In its placeI now see an up to date dry goodsstore in whose large glass windowsare displayed many beautiful thingsro dear to the female heart. On theopposite corner, once familiarlyknown as "Heints's Corner," fromFthe fact that it was the loungingplace of many bld cronies who lovedto meet there and discuss the topicsof the day while enjoying the "rest""and comfort afforded by the hard but -hospitable old bench. The 'store, ageneral merchandise store, was own-ed and operated by Mr. Chas. Heintz,who was also the postmaster. Goneis the old bench, also the postmaster,

and in their place appear the large

department store of Frank Patecek.All the old buildings on what was

once known as "Up Street" when westarted out to do any little errand,have disappeared, and the street isnow known, as Columbia street.

Passing on, at- last, I come to ancld familiar friend peeping out from

between- the Patecek building andthe F.- G. C. Auto Shop, and awayback from the sidewalk,- as if awareof its antiquity, is a little houseonce used. as a school, and presided,over by. an elderly 'ladyniamed Mrs.Tate. She was not air up-to-dateteacher, as she wore her skirts longenough to hide her feet 'and herbearing was dignified. She won the'hearts of- all her pupils for she had'o ifund' of humor, and the scholarsshe turned out showed the thorough-,_ness of her training. She rests now

iA the cemetery in Amite. Passingon by the courthouse, a much -finer
