Note from Hollis: Uncle Harvey Lee does not want to talk about Aunt Bethel today. So I asked him to tell a bit more about Harper. Next week he will probably continue his story of his life with Bethel.
Well Harper, like I told you, has 600 citizens, maybe a few more. We have everything here we need. There is no need to drive eight miles to that city with all the stores and the big mall. We got a real good grocery store, Neighborhood Pantry. We have Jimbo's hardware where you can get anything from hand plows to paint. There is Jay's Drug Store, Bickerstaff Furniture Store, and Speedy Dry Cleaning. And two of my favorite places: Berber's, a filling station, and Dorothy's Cafe. I don't drive no more so the filling station is just a place where I get information and go to visit my cousin Wilkie. He has worked there for many years. He calls it his day job because he does lots of other things in his time off. And Dorothy, a very close friend of mine, runs one of the best eating places you'd every want to see. I eat lunch there every day that I'm not out in my boat. Today she has fried catfish. She has fish every Friday, but she ain't Catholic or nothing.
I used to be for a while and she started serving fish for me and my second wife Mary Kate. That's just how good Dorothy is.
