c. G. Johnston is in receipt of a
letter from his boyhood friend, K. G..

Ripley county heartily endorsing the
building Of log cabin of the pioneer
type on the Fairgrounds here. Mr.
Barrett, better known to older citizens
as "Lum", writes as follows;
Dear Charley:
l am writing to endorse your idea or
building log cabin at the FAIR
grounds; made entirely without nails,
covered with clapboards held ON with
weight poles foored with puncheons'
with stick and dirt chimney.
| used to be familiar with such
cabins. l well remember the first house
that Uncle w. L. (Dock) Holt built
on land he homesteaded, near where
he was born, and lived on it all the
rest of his remaining SO years. 1t was
floored with puncheOns. | helped him
make them-that is | held them on
edge with the aid of a notch cut III a
log while he hewed them. 1t had
doors made Of clapboards and hung
with wooden hinges but think they
were put together with nails.
Now, as to some of the furnishings,
you must have an old-fashiOned spin
ming wheel and loom like our mothers
used. ] remember my mother (God
bless her ashes) used to card and spin
both wool and cotton and weave 1t
into cloth and color it with walnut
bark and sumac berries.
| would suggest also that you have
a homemade red cedar water pail,
keller A keller You know is a vessel
made like pail but one of the slaves
extends to 10 inches above the others
and is used for a handle. You must
also have a drinking gourd, a soap
gourd and fat or lard gourd. 1t
takes all these things TO complete the
cabin and more too. 1t should have n
gun rack over the door or fire place,
with an old flint lock rife in it. |
