Fourth of July in the Eighteen
^ Fifties
Befi^fglByrlight the guns would begin
firinjp and ail tne bells ringing.
Of eour-e. there was no more sleep,
so the long hot day began. After
breakfast everyone would put on
:!he:r "Sunday best" nnd make for the
i Presbyterian church, the largest in
town. The church was always full,
,and everyone excited, for in the dis|
tance we couki hear the band?and
I that meant the soldiers. The band
'"V
consisted of fife and drum. The fife
was pinyrd by George Patterson, a
b:g. yellow man who was cross-eyed
and always wore one big hoop ear- !
ring. I don't remember the drummer, j
They kept good time for the soldiers
; to march by, and we thought the
I music inspiring. ( nmden always has
jh'ui a fine company of militia. After J
I everyone was in place and a prayer
said, the Declaration of Independence
| was read. Then one of our most dis- j
:tineui?hed men made a fine speech, |
after which nil of us would go home
for dinner?greengoose, apple sauce,
etc. In the afternoon everyone repaired
to Maum Sally Brown'* where
they partook of the very best ' ice
cream and pound cake. She was a
most respectable old negro and a
grand baker, and made her living cm- {

little two-story house with P?rffi|
across the front, surruufrritd
talpn and Crepe Myrtle trees,
time of the year in full ^'oonV.,tJ
I smellinjf so sweet. People used gl

was a real gathering place, with VM

Sally' little old house atill stand* Jj
that time the Mulberry roftd w?*>3
