'Byrd in Lancaster News) 'When 1 was a girl and lived at horde we, never hatrd anyone talk fcbout hard times. The reason that 9Utfh a thin# was .^ver mentioned was mainly b?cuu?? people in those (lays did nut live beyond their means and we all raised everything needed for living in the way of foodstuffs* Scarcely ever was anything purchased to eat with the exception of coffee, sugar and perhaps a Jittle cheese. Nearly everybody raised hogs. At that time a seventy-five pound hog could be purchased for $1.50. Moat vyas four and five cents per pound. When 1 was a girl I never saw my father buy a piece of meat, a pound of lard, a sack of shipped coru or a bale of hay. (My father was not the only one to practice a live-at-home program but the grout majority of farmers did likewise. Practically everyone milked two oi three cows and sometimes more. Butter was only fifteen cents per pound. &eef was raised on the farm. For fencing the men would go to the woods and chop rail fencing instead of using wire. Hogs and cows were all kept together in the same pasture. Cotton was seven and eight cents per pound and sometimes lower. Corn sold for fifty cents per bushel and cotton seed for thirty cents per' hundred. Cotton seed was used mostly for fertilizers. We did not know what sodu was at that time. I hu\e cooked wash pots full of peas and turnips together fpr days uitd days for my father to feed his hogs. "He would take mea. ground from his corn and stir the cooked feed and it was better thun the purchased feed. People in those days wore cotton goods mostly but some woolen goods were worn in the winter time. The women would buy about a half ft yard of silk to trim their wool dresses. Everybody wore cotton hosiery and stockings or socks could be purchased for H) and 15 cents per pair. When we went to town, to church or to make a visit wc went in vehicles pulled by horses or mules. At church services the house would be full. We did not think more of what wehvere riding or what we were wearing than we did of God. When my mother's wash day came I she would go to. her smoke house to, get a fifty gallon barrel of homemade soap. Mother made her soap of wasted pieces of meats and boiled meatsTtmxed with ashe lye. Today but very few peas are raised. All the good land is used for coti ton, but Mr. Boll Weevil eats up the [cotton on bottom land and/J, believej we would 'be better off if no cotton were raised at all. We should turn from our wicked ways and God will heal our land. Readers, please read the second Chronicles, Chapter 7, Verse 14 and see what God promises us. As I have spokefl of how we dressed when I was * K'rl 1 wish to say that jwomen today aje ?not_iLOT;" sidered well dressed iT they do not wear $2.00 silk hose and they are ashamed to be seen in coippany. There are not many people today who will go to church if they have to go in a buggy or wagon. Let me tell you, deabrenders, when we all get back to living within our means and raise our foodstuffs at home and stop raising so much cotton, realizing that all belongs to God we will be botter off and not before. Spanish Goods On Sale There will be a sale of Spanish dresses and jewelry and various other things on Monday, March 9, at the Kirkwood hotel and ou Tuesday, March 10, the sale will be held at the residence fit Mrs. W.
