reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, it is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it, the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis

New Year's
on the
Old Plantation
CHRISTMAS was never celebrat
ed to any great extent in the
south back in the good old
days "befoh de wah." New
Year's day took its place among the
masters, and the prolonged, rollicking
"co'n shuckin' " supplied the slaves of
Kentucky and Missouri especially with
all the jollity -they desired. It was an
Institution peculiar to the south, pecul
iar not in being confined to those sec
tions, but peculiar in the manner in
which it was conducted, for husking
bees have been known In New England
since the mind of man remembers and
Indian corn has been gathered.
When a "co'n shuckin' " was decid
ed upon notices were sent out to the
slaves of all adjoining plantations stat
ing that on a certain night Judge S.
or Squire R. would give a corn shuck
ing of so many thousand bushels-and
that all colored people, male and fe
male, were invited to attend. Great
preparations were made by "ole mas
sa" and "ole missus" for this event,
for, while they expected a good night's
work in the shape ,of wagon loads of
yellow corn, pleasure was to be the
main part of the programme.
Supper was always provided on a
large scale and generally consisted of
two or three roasted pigs, turkeys and
chickens, with side dishes of vege
tables, in equal proportion. Bushels
of sweet potatoes were baked, boiled
and fried, and hundreds of rich, golden
pumpitin pies were turned out of the
ovens, done to a mouth watering
brown.
A band of musicians was engaged,
for no "co'n shuckin' " would be com
plete without it. On those nights ne
groes worked not happily save to the
twanging of the banjo and wailing of
the fiddle.
A corn shucking always lasted three
nights continuously on one plantation,
and then the negroes moved on to the
next, where three more were devoted
to the corn of the owner, and so on
until all the maize of the neighborhood
had been husked.
About twilight the darkies began to
arrive from all over the country, the
"boys" clad in their suits of Jeans,
with that pride of the darky's heart,
his "long tailed clawhanimer blue."
Every negro who made pretensions to
being "anybody" possessed one in more
or less condition of wear.
The female portion of the gathering
was coquottisbly dressed in linsey
THE NEOUOKS WORKED HAPPILY TO TEE
MCSIC OF BANJO AND FIDDLE.
woolsey frocks, with their heads tied
up in flaming red bandanna handker
chiefs, the redder the better, and with
a white handkerchief crossed upon
their breasts.
They came in groups, and each party
of buskers from a neighboring planta
tion was announced long before it ar
rived by the well known tunes preva
lent in those days floating down the
road and over the fields as the happy
boys and women hastened to the gath
ering. A favorite tune was this:
Yes, we's gwlne to de shuckin',
Yes. we's gwlne to de shuckin',
Ve's gwine to de shuckin' of de co'n.
An' we'll be dar In de mo'nin".
An' we'll be dar In de mo'nin'.
We'll be dar in de mo'nin", sirjah as
yo's bo'n.
As soon as the darkies were all as
sembled the oldest slave present went
to "ole massa" and begged a piece of
silver money. This was always ex
pected, and a plantation owner would
as soon have thought of having a
"shuckin' " without corn as to be un
prepared to produce the bit of silver
on the first evening.
Taking this piece of silver, the an
cient darky returned to the field and
there performed a ceremony the exact
meaning of which has not come down
to us. Whetting his jackknife upon
the silver, he solemnly pronounced an
Invocation for a bountiful crop of corn
the following year. And It is doubtful
if the "ole massa" would have been
any more willing to allow the husking
to proceed without this kindly prayer
than would his white haired servitor,
who by its means thus once a year
stood in the attitude of high priest to
the family he served.
After the preliminary prayer the
"twelve wise men" were chosen, and
their first duty was to select two of
the brawniest negroes in the company,
who, when called out, with much pride
at their distinction. Indulged in a good
humored contest of strength, which
was known as "rasslin' fo de capt'in."
The victor became the master of cere
monies, and upon him devolved the
duty of seeing that no one shirked in
work or entertainment.
The matter of the captaincy being
decided, the "twelve wise men" chose
four big fellows, who formed a "pack
saddle" by crossing their hands and the
captain was elevated upon it and car
ried half a dozen times around the
heaps of corn, while the darkies sang
this melody or something akin to it:
When our days am done
Don't we darkles hab a time?
When our days am done
Dor-'t we darkles cut a shine?
Back o our mbin we will go.
Back In the eai!y mo'n,
But we'll be here in de eb'nin
To do de shuckin' ob de co'n.
Then the corn shucking proper be
gan. Stacks of fuel had been placed
at intervals of a few yards near the
corn, and after they had been lighted,
under the supervision of the "twelve
wise men," the fun began. As the corn
was husked it was thrown into piles
and would be hauled away In the
morning. Twelve workers were se
lected for each heap of unhusked corn,
and, as back In New England, the red
ear was eagerly sought for, but with
a different purpose. When a man got
it he shied it at a big nigger's head.
and if he hit the mark the unfortunate
darky would not "marry for ten
years." If by shrewd dodging he miss
ed it his happiness would be crowned
within the year. If a dusky belle se
cured a red ear she had the option of
choosing a sweetheart from any of the
darkies around the corn pile. Cincin

NEW YEAR'S CARDS.
They Originated In Japan, Where
Ther Are Now Obsolete.
In Japan originated the art of mat
ing and the custom of exchanging New
Year cards. Today both are as obso
lete in the Flowery Jvingdom as is
New Year's calling in the United
States. More charming art, more de
lightful custom, are not numbered
among the good things that have
passed away to suffer in their time, let
us hope, a happy revival.
For more than a hundred years the
designing and coloring of New Year
cards occupied the attention of the
foremost draftsmen and wood engrav
ers of Japan. They were made at the
command of the noblemen of the em
peror's court. In size they were from
six to eight inches, and each was in
scribed with a poetic sentiment dictat
ed by the noble giving the order. They
were printed from five or six blocks.
each color requiring, as In modern
color printing, a separate block. The
blocks were the property of the noble,
who retained or destroyed them at
will. No reprints for another were
ever permitted. A nobleman's New
Year card was like his coat of arms or
his sword. The surimonos, as Japan'B
New Year's cards were called, were
designed specially to please some Iady
love. New York Fress.
New Year's Cookies.
Beat to a cream three-quarters of a
pound of butter and a pound of sugar.
Add three eggs and beat them through
the butter and sugar till thoroughly
mingled. Then add half a pint of sour
milk and a level teaspoonful of salera
tus dissolved in a tablespoonful of hot
water. Next put in a gill of caraway
seeds and a level teaspoonful of mace
Stir in flour till the dough is stiff
enough to roll out thin. After It is
rolled as thin as pie crust cut the
cookies out with a scalloped round cut
ter, lift them with a pancake knife
from the pastry board, put them In a
dripping pan, sprinkle over each cooky
a little sugar and bake them in a mod
erate oven.
The New Year's Wassail Cap.
Throughout all Europe the wassail
cup in one form or another Is a feature
of the day. In old times one cup of
gigantic size served the entire compa
ny, and when a man arose and took
the huge vessel in both" hands to drink
to the guests a trusted friend rose with
him and with drawn sword stood by
his side lest he should be traitorously
stabbed in the breast while drinking.

OLD FOLKS TESTIFY.
VIXOL WORTH $1000 TO A. J. BAKER.
The Aged, and All Sons and Daughters
of Aged People in (ioldsboro Should
Be Interested.
Mr. A. J. Baker, of 713 Locust
street, Evatisville, Ind., writes: "I
believe there is no other medicine
equal to Vinol for elderly people. I
would not take $1,000 for the good it
has done me. It makes strength for
the aged as do other medicine seems
to do, and invigorates the whole sys
tem. Vinol was first recommended
to me for a bad cough, which I could
not seem to get rid of. Vinol not
only cured my cough, but it made
me strong and well, and I enthusias
tically indorse Vinol."
poldsboro Drug Co., when inter
viewed in regard to this matter, said:
"We have never sold in our store such
a wonderful vitalizer and strength
maker for the aged as Vinol; it is
nature's remedy for the sick, the
weak and the aged.
"Vinol owes its virtue and great
medicinal power to the fact that it
contains in a highly concentrated
form all the active curative proper
ties of cod liver oil, without a drop
of the nauseating grease which char
acterizes old-fashioned cod liver oil
and emulsions.
"Vinol acts first upon the stomach,
toning it up and enabling it to obtain
from the food eaten the elements
needed for rich, red blood, healthy
body material and sound, steady
nerves. In this way it repairs worn
tissues, checks the natural decline pf
the aged and never fails to replace
weakness with strength.
"In the strongest manner we un
hesitatingly indorse and guarantee
Vinol to increase the appetite, cure
stomach troubles, give strength and
renewed vitality to the aged, build
up the run down, tired and debilitat
ed, make the weak stroDg, cure
chronic coughs, colds and build up
the convalescent, or we will return
to the purchaser every dollar paid
for it." Goldsboro Drug Co.
This seemed a strong statement
for reliable druggists to make, and
we think every person in Goldsboro
ought to take advantage of their of
fer; as, of course, they have very
wide knowledge of medicines, and
what they will or will not accom
plish. Editor. i
