We enjoyed walking toward the track. An attachment on the train held a cloth bag with the sorted mail that came from Augusta and other places. There was a post office were mail was placed in PO boxes for us to pickup. There was the train station in the same building. Outgoing mail ws placed in a similar cloth bag. It was placed on a post and would be picked up by the daily train. ... This Georgia Railroad passenger train went the next next town called Blythe. There another post office would place the local mail in individual pick-up boxes inside the lobby. I remember buying new commertative stamps. The community only had a few residences. ... The families would play pickup base ball games in the sand lots. There was always n umpire present to keep order. We always felt the umpire was right and in that time we did not argue with the decision. ... It was a simple life without running water. We... We dug huge holes to hold the garbage. The boys in the family enjoyed the digging and the covering up of the trash holes. ... There was a wooden out building called a necessary. It would need to be moved occasionally. The boys would pick it up and place it above another hole in the dirt. The old hole was covered up.... It was a three story home. A balcony on the second level was used by the railroad president to look out and see the train struggle to make it up the steep grade. ... The train engine had a container of sand that they could make to 'sand the track.' The sand grit help the train engine to make it up the steep hill. The huge iron engine would see to struggle up the steep grade. It seemingly said, "I think I can, I think I can." The at the top the train engine would seemingly say, "I knew I could, I knew I could."
