Mr. and Mrs. J.C. Turner believe that they do for on Saturday afternoon they drove up to the Union County Children’s Home and unloaded a 50-gallon barrel of home-made syrup—and Union county cane makes a syrup that skins anything that ever came out of New Orleans a block. Mr. and Mrs. Turner have no children of their own but they have a great big farm and made lots of molasses, so they just loaded up a barrel and left it for the 30-odd youngsters at the home. A barrel full, folks, not a measly jug or two full. But the generous donors know enough about children to know that it takes a lot of sweet ingredients to supply a house of 30-odd kids. Fine!
From The Monroe Journal, Tuesday, February 14, 1922. The first sentence is awkward, but it's exactly what was published.
