Major Limb Tells Of Trip To Southland
Luscious Melons Are Cheap And Highways Are Crowded With Tourists.
Major M.R. Limb and family have returned from a trip to the southland and Major Limb advises all altoists going to Florida to go by way of Cincinnati, Covington, Lexington, Knoxville, Chattanooga, and Atlanta, thus avoiding bad detours near Lexington and one at Chattanooga. The trip, as outlined, is longer, but an autoist makes time, according to Major Limb, who says the south is building magnificent highways thirty and forty feet in width over mountains and through valleys.
“An autoist needs a good car to make the hills, but the roads are filled all the time and hundreds of families are already on their way to Florida for the winter,” said Major Limb.
The Wooster tourists passed thru Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Alabama and into Georgia, and returned by way of Indiana. In Columbus, Georgia, Major Limb visited a half sister. In the south the Limb family bought luscious watermelons for ten cents and cantaloupes as big as a man’s head for five cents.
“Did we eat melons? I say we did,” remarked Major Limb today.
The Limbs found the route to the south by way of Louisville and Nashville to be a treacherous one because of the work being done on the highways.
The tourists were caught in a Tennessee flood and storm and had to wait from 3 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon for water to subside and then had their auto pulled by a team through a flooded district.
“And the teamster charged only 50 cents to get us through about 300 yards of water over two feet deep,” said Major Limb.
Montgomery, Alabama, was visited. It was there that many Wayne county soldiers were stationed before going overseas. Major Limb met a number of friends there.
