Ignorance about nature and

many guffaws at cKyites, is

their Illiteracy In ibooklsh mat

the "sticks’’ are not alone In our
lack of any chronological knowl
edge of history. There was the
young woman from a West Vir
ginia town, who not only looked
on top of the mountain for the
creek and old swimming hole, but
asked If her great-great-grand-
mother were not a daughter of
President Benjamin Harrison.
Now, President Benjamin Har
rison, as we in the corn rows re
call, was born In 1833, same
year as the girl’s Confederate-sol
dier-grandfather, and was obvi
ously not the great-great-great-
grandfather of a 31-year-old
young woman.
Then there was her sister who,
albeit as old as Christ when He
was crucified, married, and the
mother of two little girls, asked.
Doesn’t a cow give milk without
finding a calf?’’

seems to look like a girl of the
period indeed, "pretty, gentle,
and witty as any girl ever seen,’’
(to borrow from an antebellum
song-hit “Our Girls” in Grand
ma’s music album), but not very
much like Scarlett of the vim,
verve, and bewitching bedevil
ment, who shattered a vase and
captured Rhett. We don’t know
anyone who loked like Scarlett,

Butler, must have been as fright
ened as he says in "1 Was Afraid
