nrco11EcTIONs OF THE LAST SIX
TY YEARS OF THE NINE
TENTH CENTURY.

Alexander, of MeCklenburg Co., N. {.
ns,.or Of The Progressive Farmer:

mode of travel was either horse
hack or in wagons, and the principal
manner to receive hospitality was at
wavside house that would entertain
travellers.
OLD-TIME HOSPITALITY.
L was customary to furnish the
onest with the best of entertainment
the times afforded, and also have his
horse well cared for. This was hos
Vitality between strangers, and the
only charge was, Call again when
you are passing"
In 1910. at the great Harrison
camp-ground, twelve miles north of
Charlotte. when Harrison was a can
didate for President, the speakers
we're provided for in a royal manner;
tables we're loaded with the choicest
viands in the greatest abundance.
When all had partaken of the re-
past, a great many baskets were sent
around to the old, the sick and the
mfrm, for miles around to the poor.
Families would visit their friends
in wagons, in the winter time, and
spend several days and nights. On
such occasions the finest cooking
was called in, and the best material
was furnished. Fine, large wild
turkeys, and juicy venison were
plenty at hat time; also the old
fashioned pound cake with syllabub,
wine for the younger folk, and pure
rye whiskey for those who were
rheumatic. Everything was raised
at home and hospitality reigned SUI
preme.
Fifty years ago at the country
churches, we always had two ser
mons on Sunday, with a picnic at
interval. This was a time for a dis
play Of gallantry. The boys and girls
rode horseback, and if a boy helped
a lady on her horse, as a matter of
course he would see her home and
stay with her for tea, when such hos
ptahty would be extended as is
never witnessed at the opening of
the twentieth century.
The age Of such hospitality is gone
1t Is row a lost art. It was not
only shown in entertaining the lone

MIGHT BE CLASSED
AS HIGH COMEDY.

A play that seems to have made a
strong bid for popular favor, judging
by the encolniums of the press else
where, will be presented at the New
Grand Manager tonight.
The play, Weary Willie Walker" is
new, both in style and dramatic con
struction. 1t is called a farce comedy
but might claim the dignity of high
class comedy" as it is free from all OBJ
je~ctionable features of the former class
of plays.
The dialogue is said to be exceed
ingly bright, pithy and sparkling, while
the scenes are interesting and anus
ing.
The humor is of a good, wholesome
kind. and bubbles up spontaneously,
keeping the audience in. continual
laughter. The. characters of the play
are genuine people, not simply stage
creations, while the plot is natural and
interesting; altogether the production
appeals TO an elite and refined audi
ence rather than to one that is satisfied
with horse play.

two months the toilets in the var

the supply has been ample. The

members of the building committee
