Individual with Least Number of Ancestors Found in Hale County Outhouse


GREENSBORO, AL-Mr. Inge Hobson Hobson Inge was discovered last week by Robbie Furrow while clearing a one acre mass of wisteria vines from behind the storied Inge Hobson home, the first house to be condemned by the county since Reconstruction. Local lawyer Dickie Bay declared Mr. Inge a product of impeccable breeding, who may, on paper, be the most eligible bachelor in Greensboro. Mr. Inge, who insists on calling his outhouse a "dependency," has not been seen in public since his mother, Hobson Inge Inge Hobson Inge, known as Miss Hi, was laid to rest in 1978. Apparently, he has been holed up in the dependency with only one servant for 30 years, subsisting on pickled peaches that his great great great aunt Inginea Hobson Inge canned and hid in preparation for the advance of the Union army. Now that the county has learned that the property is inhabited by Mr. Inge, they have rescinded the condemnation order and will allow the wisteria, and nature, to take its course.—Marion Morgan
