Madisonville Democrat, (Monroe Co. TN) Wednesday, February 20, 1935, Page 1:
“Interesting News From Route Five---Ever go on a mind-racing adventure? Billy, Willie Mae, Ruth and Gertrude, Gib Duggan and Henry Patterson used to come and stay till bedtime, until 11:00 p.m., with me and we would go on such trips; one of us at a time would be allowed five minutes time to visit in mind all the places to which he’d like to go. At the end of the five minutes he would tell something about every place to which he went, and tell by what mode of conveyance he traveled. And it was wonderful how many things and places could be described---it would take us some time in which to tell all that we saw and all the places to which we went in imagination during five minutes time.
Henry, Gib and I always found these mind races to be very pleasant and instructive. Geography was always my favorite study and so those races just suited me. Gib has now gone on to the better land; Henry is in Chattanooga.
When our big, old house was torn away, this house I live in was built to the old kitchen chimney, and Gib and Henry and I would study and also run those mind-racing excursions sitting around the same old chimney fireside.” ---Georgia A. Stakely, February 12, 1935.
