LOOKING BACKWARD; WITCHES

Christmas don't seem like it useG
to, less than eighty or ninety year:
ago. For weeks before we woult
look forward to the day with grea'
delight, for We were wanting the hole
in the garden to Ne opened and gel
out the big limbertwig apples. Then
there were the chestnuts that had
been put up in sacks high up the
chimney above the old fashionea
fireplace, dried pumpkin and pop
corn-these were most of 1T.
But the fun commenced a week
before Christmas eve when twelve or
more of us children would go over to
Aunt Ead's house to hear her tell
her ghost and witch stories; she was
our cook. When l first saw her she
was fifty years old, medium tall,
broad of back, flat of head, wore 13
shoe, and could cook-my such
biscuits, pones, pies, apple dumplings
q never did get my fill of them) and
baked sweet potatoes with 'possum,
and spare rib pie-it simply makes
my eyes water to think of all that
poor old critter could cook-and fuss
at us children all the time, and many
a big ginger cake have slipped
when her back was turned to me, for
she would have to turn her whole
self around before she could find out
what was going on, as her neck was
stiff. | have seen her with a small
tub of water on her head and buck
ct in each hand coming from the
spring up hill (the sprinig was 200
yards from the house, jabbering all
the while. for you know all Negroes
are long on talking to themselves.
She would always commence her
ghost and witch tales by saying, Now
listen; once upon a time dar was ar
old oman what war witch" Then
the hair would begin to rise and
cold chills run down the spinal
column, and all of us would get clos
er to the big open fire of hickory
logs, with ears, mouths and eyes all
open and not sound but that Of old
Aunts voice could be heard, except
the wintry wind that swept around
the north corner of her old cabin.
How sad; she died long years after
freedom and her grave is just lit

he must do so under penalty. He

if found physically fit, may make his
claims to exemption, which will be
passed upon by the board. If not

It is the map of Europe which is to
