THE OLDTIMER RECALLS
.... SHELTON.M:ASQN COUNTY JOURNAL
Recollections from 50 Years Ago
By Lafe Redafe
Wal, I reckon it's time fer me to come right out an' tell
the world that I am a real person. Appears like they's some
folks lives here-aouts don't believe it.
This here pitcher should
prove it! It's me, allright,
taken back in '02 when I wuz
a young and handsome cuss.
Ain't so young anymore,
though.
Thet pitcher wuz took about the
time I had just got all bibbed and
tuckered fer town on a Sattiday
night. Had some good times them
days, socials and all. Times has
shore changed, though.
Nowadays, the young folks
spends their Sattiday nights in
some big town like Tacoma or Se-
attle, listening to young fellers
blowin' them loud horns and beat-
in' on Injun drums.
I wuz readin' through one of my
stack of Journals th' other eve-
ning, and I come acrosta item
about a supprisc party I wuz to
back in '97.
Come to think of it, I reckon
since this is the time I'm explain-
in' that I reely am a reel person,
I should tel al you folks how come
I write about things thet hap-
pened back in 97 and can remem-
ber so well.
It's like this--I don't reely re-
member all this stuff accurate I
read up on it first. Them Jour-
nals been stackin' up on me the
When you buy meat here, you're getting the best there is! Flavorful,
tender, juicy cuts of beef, lamb or pork--all top quality;government
gr,'tded meat. And it's cut right---to cut your. cost--because we trim
away excess fat and bone before weighing.

last few .years, and I hain't got
around to read 'era al yet any-
how, so when I do read 'era, I
just sit down and write about it,
and then bring it in fer this young
feller who owns the Journal now
to print.
Don't tell him thet, though, or
he will get wise and start to read-
in' and doin' his own writin'. This
is off the record, as the newspa-
per fellers say.
Wal, I wuz rec'lectin' about thet
party I went to back in '97. Sur-
prize party, it wuz, out to Miz
Robt. Sheedy's place. Reel sup-
prise, too.
Bunch o' us youngsters come
over to supprise young Herman on
iris birthday, and 'fore we more
than got set down, here .came a
bunch o' the WCTU ladies and
other social-ites, all bound on sup-
prizin' everybody from Miz Shee-
dy to the,- youngsters. They did,
too.
But, a good time wuz had by
all o' us, and Miz Sheedy wuz give
a nice sugar bowl of reel silver
fer a parting gift. She wuz mov-
ing away from Shelton, goin' to
Northport.
I re-call thet wuz about the
time the members of Cedar Camp
180 o' the Woodmen o' the World
had a big blowout threw fer them.
They wuz meetin' at the Odd
Fellers hall then, and after the
reglar Monday mcetin' they give
a rousin' big yell, went like this:
CHOP! CHOP! CHOP!
SAW! SAW! SAW!
WE ARE WOODMEN
RAH RAH! RAHI
Then they adjourned to the sup-
per room and had a nice big feed
which had been Pre-parcd by the
...... ladies. George Vogttln and George
Shorter made quick wprk of the

EEF SHORTRIBS I re-cal thet wuz the week thet
the R. W. Keefes lost their home
B by fire in Cyphert's addition. Mr.
Keep had started a fire in the
stove to warm tlae house up, and
, then gone down to the dock to
meet his family who wuz just
coming back from Olympia.
While he wuz gone, the house
caught afire, and burned plumb
down. The Keefes had both imd
their legs broke just before the
fire, and had just then recovere
enough to get around again. Some
folks shore has tough luck.
