fully admitted she can "cook, sew
and wash" for her husband of a
few days.
Interviewed at their "bran!new"
two-room log cabin in the rugged
hills surrounding Abbott Creek,
near here, tine right pretty" little
miss declared:
I'm a right good hand at
cooking, sewing and washing"
In typical hill fashion, however,
she was not so talkative, and when
asked if she liked married life with
"Flem" she ducked her head and
tried to smile.
NOT SAYING MUCH
Her mother, Mrs. Grace Colum-
bus, As, standing near by, replied:
Shes not Sayin' much about
that"
How long had you and Elem
been courting before you got
married." Rosie was asked.
Before she could answer the
mother interrupted:
"Oh, they'd been courtin' a
long time-six or eight months
maybe. Slppin' around and
courtin', you know"
Are you going to school now,
Rosie?" the shy bob-haired lass,
who was described as a right
pretty girl if she was dressed
up" was asked.
Again the mother answered for
her:
II 'spose she's had three years
Of school. I'm a. thinkin' Flem-
ing ought to let her go another
year."
Rosie had something in her
hand-carbide she had purchased
at a mine store for her husbands
lamp.
The child, and mother, too, ap-
peared completely lost to any
thought of official action because
Of the girls age.
PLAN TO MOVE
The mother volunteered, how
ever:
81 guess we will move, though,
because no house is big enough
for two families
She referred to the tiny log hut
which housed herself, Rosie and
Elem, three Columbus children,
Flem's brother and his wife, re-
ferred to as "in-lawS."
Departing, Rosie shuffled up the
hollow to the honeymoon hut in
the hills, still apparently unaware
of the vows she took until death
do us part"
Rosie and Fleming were wed
last week by a preacher Of the
hills, the Rev. w. G. Ratliff, who
works week days as a blacksmith
at a coal mine where the bride
groom is a miner.
The girl came in from play
with two other children when the
