   I was wondering about the term Neoclassical Eclectic. I live in Eclectic,AL.

   Who coined the phrase? By the way Mike Buckner’s, Great Great Uncle
   Dr. Marshall Lucius Fielder founded Eclectic, AL. Would love to talk to you sometime. I have writen the history of Dr Fielder.

   Mr. Lumpkin charged 25¢ for a haircut back in the late 50s and early 60s.
   In the 60s he went up to 50¢!!! In the 70s he got up to $2.00!!!! It think this was the highest he ever charged for a haricut.

   Mr. Lumpkin also had a library in his barber shop. It was in association with The Bookmobile out of Manchester. It was not unusual to get a haircut and a book. You could then walk right down the street to Mr. Buck Hesters’ store for an ice cream or some other treat!!

   Good times!!!

   When I was growing up in the 50s, and on up into the 80s, this was Mr. Horace Lumpkin’s barber shop. He lived across and up the road within hearing distance. If he wasn’t in the shop you could blow your horn or just wait a while, and he’s come and cut your hair!!

   We lived 5 miles south of Junction City, at Norwich.

   The neat house right across the street was Mr. Leonard Morgan’s house. He ran Morgan Oil Company and Morgan’s Grocery.

   Mr Buck Hesters had the other grocery store.

   Both Hesters’ and Morgan’s grocery carried a full line of dry goods in additon to groceries.

   Those were the days….

   The four lane highway pretty well wrapped it up for Junction City

       You are welcome.
       I have many fond memories of Junction City.
       It looks like the Lumpkin Barber Shop (City Hall) is vacant.
       I’m afraid the Morgan home is too.
       It makes me sad.
       In it’s hayday, Junction City was quite a little village.
       Thanks for recording these images for posterity.
