Around Our Town

Hello to all of you Marshall Mountain Wave readers and greetings from the Jewel of the Ozarks, Leslie, Arkansas. Well we got about a foot of snow last week and it was so deep that it is still on the ground. The weather has been very cold and bright and sunny. There is expected to be another Winter storm brewing. I am hoping that it is not ice.

South Mountain/ Nubbin Hill

Well, I hope you enjoyed that big snow we had! We had around 9 inches. Too Deep for me to go measure! I have stayed housed up as they say, for several days! I believe it was from Thursday night until Tuesday, I stayed in the house. Ray and I watched a lot of football during that time!

Old Town St. Joe

In 1927 boys in high school may be 16 or 26 years of age and sometimes older. Men dropped out often to join the military and when they finished their years of service, returned home and returned to school and took part in the school sports program. Many of these men had no idea or care of what the rules of the game were. On July 4, St. Joe and Pendall played a baseball game during the independence day celebration. They played with crude equipment. Bats were homemade or sticks, or 2×4s. The balls were homemade so they were soft and wouldn’t be hit very far. Usually these games were played without gloves. Before long, bats were swinging and fists were flying until someone yelled “Grubs on”, which meant food and alcohol.
