Her father died in un when Mama only S yeara old. Her mem oriea of him were vivid and poaal bly kept alive by a little .girl al ways lit te ning to everything aald about him in the yeari after his death, and in her longing to know him. He waa a handsome man. His * UU' robu,t m? with dark brown curly hair and beard, merry brown eyes and red cheeks. He liked clothes and al ways dressed in the best fashions He was gay and full of vigor and health. The store he operated was a store and bar. He sold general merchandise on one side and ran * bar on the other side. On sunny a?ys the beautiful white macaw bird he owned sat on its perch trailing a gorgeous tail, in the shade of an elm tree in front of uie store, squawking insults or compliments, as was its mood, at the people passing or entering the store. First Bakery The first bakery ventured in town was at this store. What was known as baker s bread and huge here Singer cakes were bought '??>*: the ?tore was a pier glass. It stood in front of the back door. Here ladies tried on bonnets which were stocked at the counter nearby and chose the most becoming one ter mUCh ,crutinitin8 and chat Some ladies, not having a full length mirror at home, and some never having seen a mirror, came in to admire themselves under the pretext of buying a bonnet. One day a very fat lady from the coun tryside out of Morehead came in for the first time. She gave a clad cry, "Why there i, al3ter Betfy " Rushing to the pier glass she went to embrace the image reflected there with such vigor that she swung the pier glass out on its stand and found herself sitting in the back yard I ?-Year-Old Tippler ?n* t"' wh? Mama's oldest sister, Minnie, was about 6 years old, she was sent from the upstairs rooms to the store below to get whiskey for camphor her mother was preparing to bottle. Minnie did not return and her mother was getting ready to see what was ?i?h!!!,*tter w1en 411 indi*n?nt nf'?hb" "me >n with the errant child. Minnie was full of laughter and could hardly walk by that time. She had drunk all the whis key and had to be put to bed. John Daniels and Julia Frances had eight children. Five of them lived It was John's habit to leave . U8e at the beginning of a birth and go across the street to the New Bern House. He would then drink at the bar with friends and sometimes join in the dances held there. His mother, Frances Canaday Phillips, became tired of such goings on. She sent word for him to come home at once when Mama was about to make her arrival He came meekly and stayed. Mama was a twin. Her twin, a boy, was born dead. In the meantime, Morehead City h?d been growing. Places of bus m"s? 'tores, fish houses, wind mills grinding corn, and the "sell ing wood" business, were spring {"f "p * mtU' Passenger, and in r i, u ?,rPie ? running on regular schedule, was plying! back and forth from Morehead City to Beaufort Schoonen and barques put into port from distant placet, dis charged cargoes add took on car goes that had come in by train. Sacks of salt, barrels of lime and rosin were among these. Ice was brought from Maine and stored in the ice house until used in packing the seafoods that were shipped out of here. People were trekking to the new town. They csme by boat, by' train, in buggies and wagons along sandy, rutted roads. They came walking down the railroad tracks, families and singly, with their worldly possessions on their backs. They waded through sand and sand spurs, cleared away twisted yaupon and wind-stunted cedars and built their homes of pine and oak. William Phillips, sitting on his piazza, watching the people com ing from the banks and settling all around him, remarked that this was, indeed, the Promised Land. The World Almanac was in just about every kitchen, carefully pe rused for information. Gardens were planted, hogs were killed and midwives, or grannies as they were called, got out their little black bags and made ready for births, according to the phases of the moon foretold in this book. Everybody had all the children they could have. It was nothing for a woman to have an "arm baby", a "lap-baby" a "knee baby" and right on. 'Cure' Chests In medicine chests quinine for the shakes and chills, odoriferous asafoetida and camphor abided. If milady had a headache she touched her handkerchief with a delicately scented cologne and sniffed at it, or lay with perfumed handkerchief folded on her fore head. In the household of John Phillips the first son to live had been born. An argument as to his name was in progress. Julia Frances, the mother, wanted him named for an old sweetheart. John, the father, would not countenance to such a thing. It ?H finally agreed to let the child name himself. A Negro nuree began calling this nameless child "T'obe", and though at the respectable age at 5, the child choee his father*! name he wa> always known and ad dreHed aa Tobe Phillip*. If there wai jiisagreement, there was also laughter, gaity and song in this house. The mother, Julia Frances, played the auto-harp and her sweet, true voice sang ballads of that day and those sung by her mother and grandmother, some having been sung in England many years before, Mary of the Wild Moor, He came A-Riding, The Baggage Coach Ahead, and Fatal Wedding were among these. At times, cbusins Preston, Cice ro, and Junius Chadwick, playing violins and other instruments, joined in the music making. There is one song, Bury Me in the New Burying Ground, they never sing when Uncle Jasper is around. He does not want to hear it. Summer Delight As a summer venture, John Phillips has a hobby-horse (merry go-round) turned by hand. It is located in a grove of oak trees and is a delight to young and old. Another commercial enterprise is a fishing crew, operating at Bogue Banks. On one of these fishing trips a member of the crew was badly cut by another member in a fight. There was nothing else to do but take a chance, so John, with someone pouring whiskey down the throat of the bleeding man and with others holding this man down, proceeded to sew the man up after pushing back in the parts of his vitals that were out. This man, a strong young Negro, lived and thanked John afterwards every time he saw him for saving his life. Anson Jasper has been sick for some time. He has consumption, a disease prevalent in that day. His wife, Annie, makes for him blood puddings daily, and he car ries salt in his pockets to stop the hemorrhages which have become worse and more often. This fatal day he is down at one of the wharves and collapsed with a hemorrhage. T. D. Webb, Mr. David Webb'i father, finds him and Jasper, try See RECOLLECTIONS, Pg.
