К «/ OLD TRUDGE A man who ought to know sank his teeth into the ham. “Plain old salt- cured country ham,” said Tom Alex¬ ander, as we ate lunch at ihe Jarrell House in Dillsboro. a village in moun¬ tainous Jackson County. "But good." he added as he took another bite. "We sugar-cure ours up at Cataloochic." After he had taken the fourth piece on his plate he knew why the Jarrell House has survived 70 years of high¬ way changes and competition. If any place ever was built on North Caro¬ lina country ham. this is it. I hey serve fried country ham three times a day — no kidding. Chicken or turkey twice a day. and a variety of vegetables and sweets, all served family style. The menu changes very little, м» travelers know what they are gening when they cheek in. Talking with a fellow-traveler in De¬ cember. I said. “Wonder what a guest docs when he stays here several days? Same menu must gel a little tiresome." "I don't know." he said. "But I don't get much good ham down home, and it takes me a mighty long time to get tired of it." Some people arc like that. That light salt cure, by the way. is quite common in the mountains and is preferred by many people over the smoked ham. Since this is supposed to be a col¬ umn of practical advice, let me tell you about the rates. They’re good news. Single rooms, $2.50 to $3.50; double. $5 to $7. Breakfast $1. lunch and sup¬ per $1.75. Tor commercial men — drummers and people like me — there is a substantial discount on both rooms and meals. The present manager is Charlie Woodson, an old-time drummer him¬ self. He has peddled his wares in every county in North Carolina, visiting each at least four times. It is not strange, then, to find on a cold De¬ cember day some 10 or 12 traveling men in the house. In summer, of course, they are joined by tourists. The place can lake care of about 35 or 40, and it has a brisk meal trade, in¬ cluding parties. You can't miss the building -an old- fashioned place, with U.S. I У-Л jammed against its verandah. Each of the three floors has a sweeping porch, on which in pleasant weather people sit and rock and watch the traffic and THE STATE, APRIL Ю. 1954 21
