ELEAZER Each family in the Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork garnered a large bundle of broom straw from an old field in the fall and kept it hanging from the rafters of the smoke house or wagon shed. That was to try to keep it away from rats. For they’d nest in it and cut and stink up the straw. About once a month the house wife would make a new broom from her straw supply. To do that, she’d get about half again as much as the finish ed broom would be. She’d hold it at mid-section and comb it back towards the base with an ordin ary fork like you eat with. That would peel off the blades and clean the straw on the end you’d hold. This cleaning took a good while. When the straw was all clean ed, you cooped it with your hands and tapped the butt ends on the table until they were all even. In later years, we used strong strings to tie the cleaned sections of the straw firmly together. But before good strong strings were common, I can well’ recall when we used oak splits, like we made baskets and chair bottoms with. You’d start about a foot from the cleaned end, run one end of the split through the straw just so it did not quite come out the other side. Then a firm wrap held it securely there, as' you wound the split in about two inch circles around the straw to the end. There you gave the split an extra warp and ran it through the butt Roger Taylor of Lexington; Mr. and Mrs. Everett Edmund of Asheville, N. C., who will remain for a week’s visit. Little Thomas Loftis who has been with his grandparents for two weeks re turned home with his parents, the Mills. Mr. and Mrs. W. T.

With Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Wes- singer for Easter were Mr. and Mrs. Elisha Abrams of Bennetts- ville; Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Pinson of Cross Hill; Mr. and Mrs. Ru dolph Oswald, Rudy Oswald and Betty Oswald and Miss Pat Domi nick of Columbia.

Tidmarsh to the Town of Whitmire, 7.897 acres, end, .pulling it firmly before cut ting it off even with the straw. Then you'd swish that new- made broom against a post until any remaining downy bloom parts floated away. If a few straws were longer than the others, you’d clip them off, so as to give the broom a good fluffy sweeping part. This new broom was used for general sweeping. The old stub by one from before was kept to sweep around the hearth with and get stuff out of the cracks. Memories, memories, of boy hood in the Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork! And seeing an old lady by the road near Johnston carrying her bundle of new wrung straw last fall recalled all of these pleasant thoughts of a day that is gone.
