Park, aad were than driv es to Smyrl's pasters back of the Quaker cemetery. At that time a road led past the Agnes of Olaseow grave na to the pastara, and once the cattle entered the gate of the pasture, all bat one person rt> tamed to their homes, and again that afternoon at five, they re timed to drive the cattle back to the homes of the owners. Joe Brown, one of the lending colored cltissns of Camden, and brlckmasoo. waa one of the boys who helped get the cews each morning. Five boys were assigned to rentes, similar to. paper routes Of the city today, and they started la the nelfldiborhood of the Hobklrh Ian In driving the cattle towards Hampton Park. When the final hard was assembled, there were 1W cattle. In telling about the program, Joe Brown said he was shoot II years of age then and that Major Sill, then express agent of Camden, had six cows, and that his cow N Rooe,** was the lead oow of the herd, and that all cows fell In behind her, after Dsn Brown cracked his whip in a fashion that the older dtisens still talk about. Dan had a long whip WlthNsbout an 18 Inch leash, and he could pop It loader than any cannon cracker, and when he started swinging his whip It sound- el like a pack of fire crackers. Bach owner paid 2Sc a week for having the cow taken to the pas ture. John McSmyri, who owned the pasture, kept a One bull thera aad if any cow was bred, the owner paid |1 extra when the calf was born. The land of the Hermitage Mills between the canal and the creek, and from the mill on out to the bridge below the Hermitage dam <en (he Bast, was also used by Brown for the big herd of cattle. The herding of cattle each morn ing continued until about 1105. There was hardly a home In Cam den that did not have a cow, and It was cheap feed for the.owners to have their cows taken to the lush pastures of Mr. Smyrl. Bach of the helpers, who were boys, had their long whips, and when all cattle were in line, the popping of the whips could be heard at a long distance. The cattle went down Lyttleton street, after leaving Hampton Park, and then turned Into Rutledge and thence down Market street, on past Ph Theatre BETHUHE. S.
