Horace Quackenbush were in the barbershop yesterday and vowed he seen Elvis Presley having breakfast at the Grits Shoppe. He said he knowed it were Elvis because of his ducktailed, well-oiled hair style and 'cause he looked just like the picture on the special Elvis postage stamp he kept in his wallet. Horace said he never went up to talk to Elvis 'cause he were too much in awe of his music hero to even move. When Elvis finished his eggs, sausage, bacon, cheese grits, hot cakes, fruit compost and coffee he just got up and left. At this point Horace's legs could move again and he run to the window and seen Elvis and some other mens climb on a Harper County road truck and head off toward the main highway. Horace are real good at spotting famous peoples. He is also good at finding likenesses of famous peoples in his food. One day he seen Abraham Lincoln in his vegetable soup. He called me over for a look, but all I seen were soup. I reckon Horace just has a knack none of the rest of us has been blessed with.
