Letter: Mystery Photo Mike Bell writes: I believe the red brick building in the back ground is the Bank of Columbia branch on Jamestown Hill. And the white building would be the old K&F store or, perhaps the Video Warehouse. It may well have something to do with the Bell Pepper Festival, however we all wear our event tee shirts well past the event itself.Comments re: Mystery photo - what was the event? 2024-09-20 09:02:08 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Carol Perkins: Work Hands (2024) Previous Column: One box can change a life By Carol Perkins A field of tobacco is not a common sight like it was when I was a girl. My grandparents on both sides raised tobacco and hired "work hands" to get the crops in the ground and in the barn. Recently, I mentioned work hands in a group who had no idea what I meant. They were from somewhere else or are too young to know. I explained that a "work hand" is a person hired to work on a farm. These work hands may be temporary, like high school boys looking to earn a few bucks, or tenant farmers who live on someone's "place" and work year 'round. One of my friends said that's when she was in school and asked where she lived, she said "I live on Mr.... place." The modern farmer still needs "work hands" to complete their jobs.
