.Often'mammy would sit up all
night long keeping tip fires and
bolstering up my mother. I well
remember how stie would go
out into the night' to find out
what made Eee, the watch dog,

start, and tremble, fearing it
Blight b,e messenger with dis
patches (they came sometimes in
tb.e night). Mammy would take
my mother by the .hands and
lead her to a comfortable chair
and make her sit down.
'Po' soul," she would say,
"yo'will wear you po' self out a
walkin' up and down and putiin'
yo'r eyes oui cryin'; we ain't

mebby we wo'n't; you knows bad
Tip.ws travels fast." and when
dispatches d!d come rnaminy was
the comforter when the news
was bad, when good she would
laugh anti cry for joy and thank
the Lord" for His mercies.
How happy she was to make
good things and pack boxe for
her boys at the front. When
the ynnkees were expected to
march down upon us, mammy
was the trusted one to help

camp just in the rear of "the
Louse, instead erf giving thtdii
away as had been our 'custom
always.

Almost my mother's last words
were; "Take good care of
Mamnfy Chany," and ije did.
Not long bef ore, she djed she
came to see me at mjr
brother's house in Salisbury.
She was-living then with her
Son In tne town, and 'whan she
