"Looking Back," The Caswell Messenger (15 June 2016): Last week's Looking Back photo was identified by Ray McGuire of Yanceyville, as Richard “Honey” Johnston ‘knockin bones’ (wooden sticks carved like cow bones). Also Richard Johnston, Jr. of Providence identified his father and said he may have been playing the spoons as well. Other gentleman was not identified. But, what is the venue? Is the Courthouse to the left? Why are the gentlemen performing? Date?

_______________
Richard Malcolm Johnston, youngest son of Julius and Willie Russell Johnston, was born April 14, 1911, in the old Johnston home which used to be located beside the Yanceyville Methodist Church which the family attends today. Richard's family used to attend the old brick Methodist Church which has been demolished as has the home Julius Johnston built for his family. In childhood, Richard was teased because of being the youngest, "Mama's little honey," and the nickname "Honey" has clung to him ever since. After attending the public schools at Yanceyville, he went to work for the American Tobacco Company as a leaf-buyer and continued for forty-one years. When not on the tobacco market, he loved hunting and being in the out-of-doors; he always supervised closely the operation of his tobacco farms and helped with the work.
In 1941, Richard M. Johnston married Harriet Walker Stephens, a daughter of Paul Talyor and Harriet Moore Stephens of Caswell County.

Honored at Bridge [Clarendon Hall]
Yanceyville, N.C., July 23. -- One of the loveliest bridge parties of the season was that given last Friday evening by Miss Mary Jane Jones complimentary to her cousin Miss Mildred Louise Adams of Danville. A variety of summer flowers lent a festive air to the lower floor of the old colonial home where five tables were arranged for play. George Oliver was awarded the prize for high score and the honor guest was presented with an attractive gift.
Delightful refreshments were served by the hostess at the conclusion of the game. Those accepting Miss Jones' hospitality were: Misses Mildred Adams, Lois Moore, Dorothy White, Katherine Malloy, Annie Winstead, Mary Kerr Motz, Helen Williamson, Jessica Oliver, Patty Gunn. Herbert White, Dabney Williamson, Clem Lipscomb, D. T. Watkins, T. B. Anderson, Jr., Richard Johnston, Bill Newman, George Oliver, Giles Jones and W. L. Smith of Richmond.
