SETTLED DOWN IN DIXIE

Mrs. Clark Thompson settled in Springfield after living at San Francisco Plantation 
on River Road.  Coming from her plantation home, Mrs. Clark fell in love with the 
hamlet of Springfield and named her new home "Dixie."

Dixie is a red-brick house surrounded by moss-draped oaks in the riverfront town.  
Mrs. Thompson chose this site because of the peace and quiet.  The five rivers and 
ten different roads providing many outlets were further points leading to Mrs. 
Thompson' s decision in living so far from her former home.

Pointing out the simulating morning view overlooking grass-covered lawns, threes 
and flitting birds, Mrs. Thompson said her patio was a haven and ideal for a place 
to sip her morning coffee and in the evening to watch the setting sun though a 
silhouette of hanging moss.
