I want to share this old but still true fact that I read in the 1953 issue of the Agricultural Almanac. It states that our grandmothers used to burn kitchen matches to chase unpleasant smells. This has been backed up by scientific research. Studies at the Armour Research Foundation show that a burning match has a masking effect and that it blots out some odors by imposing another on it.
Martha and J. R. Lydell and Bogie enjoyed a trip on Tuesday to Brushy Lake,Little Natural Bridges and Houston where the oldest log jail in Alabama is located. It is also the second oldest jail in the nation. The old Houston jail was built in 1868 and visitors are welcome to view itl 365 days a year. Anyone wishing to visit old Houston jail can take exit 308 off of I-65 and go west on 278 through Addison and turn left onto County Road 63 at the Houston Gad and Go and you will then travel about 1.5 miles and the Houston historic jail will be on the left adjacent to the Houston Post Office.
