A guard rat "The Ic.lut!) died rec-
ently, full of' years, nuts, and star-
ring's nests! Yes, "we "mourn the
old black locust which spread its
protective branches over the cot-
tage and' lawn,
Fifty years egor.A. seemed as
large to the writer as it did when
felled. At that tithe she played in
its shade, The hammock was sus-
pended be6veen one hook in the
tree and another in a pest, There
was also -a ring for tying up hors-
es shotIld those in the clriveshed
and posts pat the .front be all in
use' by drive-1,s 'bearing the ))oct-
or's patients to his office, The
,roetshore - the sears: inflicted by
fr'eshly-Sbod horses hOofs.
AU, these inflictions the' long-
.' ftweetowervegvimpogroomm,
suffering, tough tree absorbed
without too much trouble, She
carried to 2 the last, evidence of an-
other indignity—the porcelain ser-,
Vice knobs which held the electric
light cable to the barn. But still
the old girl flourished! From time
to time a limb was •broken or cut
off, but the wound healed quickly,
The storms hi 1958 were part-
icularly had, Three of her grace-
ful, drooping branches were no
longer able to withstand the pres-
sure of time, And yet she had
hopes of sending out new branchea
in the spring! But that little snip
of a maple growing across - the
drive claimed the sympathy, of
the owners of "The Oat". And so
the old and true was Sacrificed
to the young and unpredictable.
No longer will •Aunt Lucy be
able to watch the starlings battl-
ing with the. saucy black squirrel
when he went _np to rob the'ir
nest! No longer. will he store nuts
in a hollow in the tree! No longer
will she watch the brown creeper
and white-breasted nut hatch cir-
cling up and down the great girth
of the sturdy trunk in search of
insects! No longer-Will the birds
and the bees suck nectar from
its blossoms/. No longer will or-
ioles, finches and warblers hunt
aphids in her foliage!
Yes an old friend has gone.
Was it, perhaps, 'planted about a
hundred and twenty years' ago,
with ceremony, by, school children
when Edwaid 'Teinpleton taught
here T: 01- did it perhaps witness
the building af this first log school
house in 1838?' How many pranks
by scholars,- did it watch? How
many inatThers stood by it as
dear ones were laid to rest in this,
the first 'elite burying ground in
the village?'lf the old tree could
have spoken, what a tale would
have been told!
The whine 'of a chain-saw in the
-hands of expext foresters sounded
her death knell, and.she fell heav-
ily to earth as a Woman's Auxil-
iary meeting was in progress at
"The Hut". • •

From Biloxi, Miss.
Dear'Miss Woods:
Mother has rio, doubt told you of
us being so fortunate as to spend
our winter in the south this year.
We are indeed happy and enjoying
this expeklece to the full. 'We left
our home in Portage La Prairie,
Man., on NoVernber1 and travelled
directly south, for most of our
trip. Of course, the northern state
es were the same as our western
prairies, and Iowa seemed to be
nothing but fields 'upon' fields of
corn. Arkansas was quite a change
of scenery, as we, travelled through
the Ozark ineunteins and the en-
tire state consisted of high rolling
hills and winding roads,
In Northern Mississippi we came
upon the cotton plantations and it
was a very interesting sight for
us to see the darkies busy picking
the white fluffy balls. Of course,
most of the harvest is done by
mechanical pickers, operated by
the darkies. However, we did see
several fields where they were
picking by hand.
Sometimes we would observe
whole' fainalies working, even the
small children. All would have long
sacks over their shoulders. These
were several feet long, and would
trail along the ground behind the
pieker. • . Anoxi is a very nice city situat-
ed right on 'the Gulf of Mexico and
from our very comfortable, cottage
we are within walking distance of
the lovely white sand beach. There'
are many of •the stately southern
mansions—still, occupied and kept
up. Everywhere are huge live oak
draped in long white moss. Here
is the huge' home of Jefferson
Davis. It is maintained by the
state.
Andy is on course at Keesler
Air Force. base and is enjoying it
very much. Michael and Mary Kate
were quite frightened of the neg-
roes at first, but seem to have
grown used to them now. At first
Michael thought they had. been
painted. 1-1e, by the- way, is still
waiting for the snow to come.
At present there are poinsettias
blooming everywhere, also Japan-
ese and English holly along with
the native variety. Hoping you en-
joy a Merry/Christmas, and the
best possible in the New Year.
Sincerely,
feeeive this intei,esting aecount of former Janet MacLeed,-deughter
