The Herald may he something of an
old fogy, but the Herald would have
had more admiration for the good
women of Gallain, il they had shown
their independence of their cooks and
rolled up their sleeves and gone into
the kitchen themselves. Our mothers
didn't use to mind doing that when it
was necessary. We do not see why any
able bodied white woman should be
dependent upon negro cook.
