Mr.. Blacksnake to be around. You
know nobody likes Mr.. Blacksnake.
Just then Johnny saw for the first
time lot of very tiny chips of white
wood scattered about the foot OF
that tree. He knew what they meant.
He guessed right away that Drum
ner the Woodpecker and Mrs. Drum
mer had made new home up in
that tree. de knew then what Mr..
Blacksnake was climbing that tree
for. He knew that somehow Mr..
Blacksnake had guessed that there
was home up in that tree and
was going up to find out.
The hair along Johnny's back
stood up, and he showed all his
teeth as he grated them. But there
wasn't a thing he could do. Mr.
Blacksnake paid no attention to him
at all. He kept right on without
hurrying at all. He seemed to know
that he could take his time.
"Oh, dear, do hope that neither
Drummer or Mrs. Drummer are in
their home thought Johnny.

counterpanes were made at home,
and nearly all the towels and table
cloths, in plain Georgia homes.
When I was born, within seven
teen miles of Atlanta, now the state
capital, all the dry goods, groceries,
shoes, sugar., etc, was purchased
by storekeepers in Augusta, the
nearest market place, nearly 10
miles distant. These goods were
conveyed in wagons and a trip that
was covered in ten days, going and
coming, was satisfactory. No time
was lost on the road either, with
wagon travel.
Some ribbons could be purchased,
or a trimmed bonnet as a rarity.
Such a bonnet could be relied upon
for good service for several years.
There had to be some white goods
for baby's wear, also some for
shrouds Qor the dead.
But the everyday wear was man
ufactured in the nome, from start
to finish. Before my time, flax for
cloth making was raised in various
places. remember the flax wheels
of the long ago. Until the cotton

the seed by human fingers. From
cotton in the seed to the shirt on a
mans back, was a Iong step as to
labor, but the multitude was clothed
in that painstaking way. The mon
ey that is spent now for underwear,
was not spent but saved in these
frugal homes.
AS I recall it, wagons were loaded
at home with cotton bales, generally
packed in round bales, and the neigh
boring farmers would go in crowds
to August because they felt safer on
the road, camping out and after they
sold the cotton in the city, they
would buy sugar, salt and iron for
domestic use, and make a little
money hauling back to the store
