Pine Trees
Pine Trees
by Tally Harbour
Clifton had a problem with pine trees. To say that he did not care very much for them would be quite the understatement. The truth was that he despised pine trees. It might have had something to do with his mental condition. “Slightly schizophrenic” was his psychiatrist’s diagnosis. But Clifton would probably have denied that his illness had anything to do with his…

The Bell Witch in Alabama
by Dr. Alan Brown
The story of the Bell Witch is one of the American Southeast’s best-known legends. In 1804, John Bell moved from Halifax County, North Carolina, to one hundred acres of land near a settlement that later came to be known at Adams Station. Over the next decade, John and his wife spent most of their time working on the farm and raising their eight…

GRANNY LILLY’S RAPTURE
by Rod Barfield
“Bobby, you better git in here ‘fore the Rapture comes and leaves you behind!”
I had just pitched a rock at some mangy old dog trotting up Hedgepeth Street. Or, at some drunk bobbing and weaving his way on our turf. It didn’t matter the offense, Granny Lilly was quick to invoke the apocalypse for major and minor failings. She was such a tiny thing, barely larger than the…

MOVING INTO THE NEW YEAR
MOVING INTO THE NEW YEAR
MOVING INTO THE NEW YEAR
by Virginia Dawkins
“I wish for those I love this New Year an opportunity to earn sufficient, to have that which they need for their own and to give that which they desire to others, to bring into the lives of those about them some measure of joy, to know the satisfaction of work well done, of recreation earned and therefore savored, to end the year a little wiser, a…

Straw Man Straw Man We wanted to mulch the flower beds around our first home, a small rancher in a 1980s subdivision, but we wanted pine straw, not dark black or brown mulch that smelled like manure our neighbors used and we smelled when we were down wind to their home.

Family Portrait
In the family portrait,
my great-grandma Ledford sits in a chair
in front of her eight children.
Her white hair pinned in a bun,
she wears a long cotton dress and apron,
her worn black shoes in shadow,
her walking cane lying at her feet.
Her shoulders are slumped
as if they carry the weight
of all the years she’s seen.
Four sons stand behind her,
solemn-faced, hats in hand,
her…

The World's in a "Pickle"!
The World’s in a “Pickle”!
Pickleball, a game resembling tennis, badminton, and ping pong, was invented in 1965 by Joel Pritchard, Bill Bell, and Barney McCallum, three dads who wanted to keep their “kids” busy during the summer. Today, it is one of the fastest-growing sports with millions of people of all ages playing and competing on pickleball courts. Several theories exist as to how the name “pickleball” evolved, but…

Southern Literature Explained
This lecture, The Greatness of Southern Literature, by James Kibler teaches why stories from and about the South still reign, from its flawed characters to the tragic lives through which they stumble.

Gandy Dancer
A Gandy dancer named Spoon saved my life, but I lost my middle right finger. My daddy got me the job on the railroad in 1943, even though he lied about me being sixteen that summer, and I’d hoped to save some money for college. That morning, the mist hung low in the Appalachian Mountains, and we slipped our way up the dewy trail to the tracks. The honeysuckle made the air smell sweet in spots,…

Stew Day
My Sunday morning walk took me by the local farmers market. It was a lively scene as vendors slid from their truck seats, stretched, and waved to other vendors arriving to set up for the day. I watched as a hardworking woman spread out dozens of ears of corn alongside boxes of huge red tomatoes and I was reminded of summers back home when it seemed everything in the garden ripened at once. Our…
