Girls Walk 9 Miles to Get Refreshments at Albemarle Pharmacy, Jan. 26, 1925

Girls Take Hike Nine Miles Long

Saturday afternoon Mrs. J.J. Morris, Misses Lina Belle Lister, Annie Sarah Barkwell and Kathryn Morris strolled nonchalantly into the Albemarle Pharmacy and ordered refreshments as though they had done nothing unusual, but after really getting their breath, they told the proprietor, F.G. Jacocks, that they had made the hike from Old Weeksville, a distance of nine miles, in 2 ½ hours, had a fine time, and weren’t tired at all.

Next they came around to The Advance office and talked a few minutes and then went around to Zoeller’s to have their pictures made.

They admitted, however, that they were going to ride on the return trip.
