If the aim of the** grisalsd veteeapji was m better on the heights of Cbtcesmauga and Stone Mountain, than they were at this ready target, it is a'wonder that the Civil War ended in the North's favor. Bob Gray had the biggest stack of lamp chimneys and burners in town, and it was Die only place'you could buy stem raisins at Christmas time. It Is often peculiar how boyhood impressions cling through the years,; and so with me, I have never lost the inspiration afforded by the poster depicting a Striking profile of John Drew whose,name was wed on a popular, cigar of that day., At Boh Gray's there was also handled, more or less exclusively, the Major cigar,. Battle-Axe and Cornerstone Plug, and. Fountain .Cut tobacco ip buckets, Robert Gray will long be remembered as one-of Cedarville’s highly respected merchants; His name is woven into the warp Yffld roof of our village life it a time when things, national, civic arid domestic were-at their highest state of tran­ quillity. Daisy Grky, his beautiful arid genteel daughter,- will likewise he remembered ais Cedarville’s sweet,. I heart;- Jim, Jus studious son, left the J village before I grfsw Up, and Lucille j Is recalled as a classmate from the ; chart class’Unttt the day we marched- for' the fist time through the well- j worn portals o f the old Xenia Avenue -- School as members .of the Class of 1912. .v 1 In the (rear of Boh Gray’s store on Xenia Aveiiue was Batty Pettiford’s barber shop., It was-Bally who al­ ways teased me about my cowlick and persisted that a boy should be able to screw his head around oft a pivot like an owl as he performedthe," miracle of a Be haircut. Only ottce did Batty go mercenary and raise his prices to a,dime for a going over,with ^ the shears or for' the-job of obliterat­ ing a week’s growth of stiff stubbles. A threatened boycott eaused him to quickly revert to the 5c price schedule which had-persisted too long to stand an upward revision. The story is tpld that,Bey Andrews happening into Bally’s shop during the inauguration of the price advance, put a protracted harangue at such an ■ outrage -threatening the equilibrium of the local standard. Bally stuck to his guns- until Bev, thinking to end the argument, requested “Be worth of shaVe and a nickle’s worth of hair- ‘ cut.” Not to he out-done,Batty seated his, customer in the chair and pro­ ceeded .to oblige.' But when Bev was notified that the job was finished and he made a cursory inspection of himself ih the mirror, he found his hair trimmed only halfway across his pate, while hut One side of his face had been shorn of its bristles. s . On the opposite side of Xenia ave. was the Martin Barber residence, and between that and. the corner Ben Ridgeway’s drugstore, -arid with Bull and-Bpenc.er Grocery on the corner opposite Gray’ ll Store. Ridgeway ‘ eventually moved around the corner on Main street at. thO present site of Master’s grocery and the room va­ cated was taken over-for a time in the making of cigars: Ray Hitchcock followed with a jewelry tepair.shop and pool room oh this site, John Cooper followed Mari Bull in the grocery business on the corner. George Winter was clerk there for any years. Just a- vourid the corner on Main was a triarigular room where Hooker Biff once held forth as a barber. Ed > Spencer once ran a restaurant there, { arid Joe LeVeTdi a fruit stand. In later year* «>ybrother, Bill, took over ^ the room as a fruit and fresh Vege­ table market, hauling most of his his Wires to town from Springfield by one horse wagon, A Story, is told of the Ed Spencer sojourn, that in order, to lend fen at­ mosphere of conventionalism to his establishment he employed an itiner­ ant sign painter to perfect a highly embellished poster, Apparently, the Sign painter made too literal a tike- off on the accepted greeting to pa­ trons of iferife and taverris, for the i read: "GOOD EATS—-SAND WIGHES AND SOUfS FOR MAN AND BEAST.” When Bert Ridgeway moved around , on the Main Street aide, he occupied j the next room north. One incident 1 reoalt in eonnectlon with the plwd Was the hypnotized lady who slum­ bered peacefully itt the display win­ dow to the wonderment of our starry eyed populace. She was to remain in so under the spell until on a prear­ ranged date the mesmerist was to arousa her from her coriia by a mum­ bling of ”ahbadabbas” or equally significant jargon. All would have gone well save for the inadvertent | visit Of Charlie Pendulum who per­ sisted that the reclining figure was * of wax. To prove his point he ad­ ministered upon the person of the inert damsel a aeries of none too dainty twirks. Whereupon, and with­ out the magic ”*bb*dabb»s” she transcended into sudden conscious­ ness attended*by an outburst of ep­ ithets grossly at odds with the character of A demure damsel she was given to depict. . , (Continued Mi*t Week) I Th* following birth* for the month o f March havo been reported In Greene County: Tyra Ls« Armentroot, R.
