In addition to the Shakespeare, Miss Campbell gave tweny bound volumes of Century Magazine for the years 1880-90; fifteen volumes of Harper's magazine covering period between 1850-64. These books besides being valuable additions to the library are noteworthy because of their age. Miss Campbell has promised many other volumes as soon as the books can be located. Among those to be given later are a copy of the first edition of Bleak House; a complete - set of Scott; and additional volumes of Harper's. Mrs. Doris Spiers, Mrs. H.

PARKER TAKES ANOTHER WHACK AT WRITING FOR US (Continued from page 1) dyed, using walnut hulls and cowpeas to set the dye. Some would use barks from certain trees when they wanted the cloth to be of a certain color. All the filling that went into the cloth was spinned at home. I have some my mother picked?the seed out of cot ton, doing it on the floor not far from the fire to warm it. She said the seed could be picked out better with the fingers when the cotton was warm. The warp came in Mocka of five pounds, and were sold at the stores. It cost (1.25 to (1.60 a block. The bolt of cloth when tak- , en out of the loom would have from 20 to SO yards in it. All socks and stockings were knit at home, and gen erally dyed brown. , All our shoos were made at home. The cow hides were tanned around , the neighborhood. The calf skins were also tanned. This leather made into women and children's shoes. All shoe makers would go around looking for work, their kit of tools with them. They would go to a home maybe ten days making shoes for the family. I almost feel my feet hurting now, as I wore those stiff hard leather shoes. Sometimes they would be too small. The sole leather was bought at the stores. The women would dress up occa sionally, especially on Sunday. Calf skin shoes, home knit stockings,, home made cloth, dress made at home, with their big hoop skirts?that was the attire for dress-up. I tell you reader* of the HERALD, they were some peaches, too. Contrast those styles and customs to modern times. 1 think you would agree with me that we surely are liv ing in the New South. In writing up tho .e old styles and customs of by gone days, a chill of sadness comes over me. Most of the folks I knew then have crossed over the river of death, their souls gone?to their eter nal reward. ?JOHN A. PARKER.
