signal for home owners to reach out
and pull in the window shutters and
fasten them for the night. Then a
PApor taper was lighted in the fire,
if it was winter time, and applied to
the lampwicks and the family sat
down to a quiet evening of books,
music and conversation. About eleven
o'clock the lamplighter could be heard
on his return trip putting out the
street lights?and the town slumbered.?Wallerboro
