Along
the Way
?Emily Klllette
In one of the January,
935, issues of the DUPLIN
IMES, the newspaper was
hiding a hog-killing contest.
Persons who killed hogs
ould come by the paper and
eave the weight of their
leaviest hog, and at the end
if the season, a winner was
licked who had the heaviest
log. The winner's name was
ever printed, at least that 1
Luld find, but that brings us
the dicing art ? hog
ling.
Until recently, with the
iblication of the "Foxfire"
oks done in Georgia, much
the old country way of life
is not considered art. It
is with these books that the
pulation all across the
ited States took a second
k at the South and the
irs of life which had been
gotten by many, and were
er known to others. And
acceptance of the "Fox
" books created a sur
ing interest and growth
he handmade and home
le craft and food worlds.
, one thing which the
ks failed bring back
i the attitude of the
ghborhood families when
entire community worked
helped each other
iugh the good times and
bad times.
mong the forgotten arts
he country is the art of
killing, which can still be
i in Duplin County today,
n though there are hog
ings in Duplin today,
ny are not done as they
e years ago. Many people
re their hogs killed at a
tmercial slaughterhouse
the next day the owner
ts up his hogs and pro
eeeds with the hog killing
from there, cutting up and
cooking the fat for lard,
grinding and stuffing the
sausage, and salting the
meat in the smokehouse.
This way of killing hogs takes
the entire challenge from the
job of butchering the hogs,
removing the hair in the hot
vat, and cleaning tjie
chitlins!
However, both kinds of
hog killings are arts in them
selves which require quite a
bit of knowledge. In past
years, such as 1935, a hog
killing was a neighborhood
event in which all families
participated. But, in 1980,
not many hog-killings are
seen in which the entire
neighborhood willingly joins
in the job and slaughters
about 13 hogs in one day. it's '
sad to think that not many
neighborhoods join in their
neighbors' good times and
bad times with each family
doing all they can and the
best they know how just for
the satisfaction of being a
good neighbor. The quality
of life a person receives from
helping his or her neighbor
' can be felt in every neigh
borhood, and in each home,
making even a visitor aware
of the strong bond of friend
ship the entire neighborhood
shares.
Recently a Cypress Creek
farmer held a hog killing in
which 13 hogs were
slaughtered, and the entire
neighborhood was present.
Together the 25-30 persons
worked steadily and harmo
niously until the end of the
day, when a handshake was
all the pay that was neces
sary before each went home.

OLD WEATHER AND HOG KILLINGS Along with cold
lather comes the chore of killing hogs for country folks,
d many of these hog killings are community affairs when
the neighbors come to help. Pictured above is Lloyd
trganus of Cypress Creek at his hog killing, in which 13

hugs which have been cleaned and ready to
be cut up. During a recent hog killing in
Cypress Creek. 13 hogs were slaughtered, of
which six had been cut up by lunch. The
remaining seven are shown above.
HARD AT WORK - Killing hogs requires
much hard work and everyone works as
quickly as possible in order to finish before
the sun goes down. Some of the jobs include
culling the whole hog into parts as seen in

the picture above. Other jobs include cutting
the fat n> be cooked for lard, grinding and
stuffing sausage, and cleaning chitlins ? all
