ca.ow' 4 WHITEANDGOLD Christmas on Willit's Farm The Christmas holidays were the greatest events of the whole year for the negroes on Willitis plantation in South Carolina. The time from Christ- mas to New Year's was spent in mei'ry-making and rejoicing. Before day- break on Christmas morning the negroes were astir in the cabins. arraying themselves in the best they had in honor of the occasion. At daybreak they all assembled together and marched up to the mastefs house to greet the members of the family. At the head of the long line of negroes, Old Tom, the autocrat of the whole plantation, and his worthy wife, Grand, mammy, marched in solemn array, feeling no doubt the dignity of the position. They were certainly a pair to behold! Old Tom always enjoyed the distinction of receiving, Malrse Joh'1fs cast off clothes and many speculations did he indulge in regarding tidat last suit of Mame Johnisii and the number of months before it would adorn a peg in his cabin. Marse John was as broad as Old T om was thin and comical was the sight he presented on this Christmas morning arrayed in the latest addition from Marse Johifs wardrobe. The black face of the old man was surmounted by a high silk hat, from under which a fringe of snowy white wool showed itself like a fleecy cloud. As to Grandmammy, she was attired in a black silk dress, which for- merly belonged to qMiss Ann? and a freshly starched white apron. On her head was perched her best black lace cap, for without a lace cap her dress seemed incomplete. Never was she seen without one, and many thought that she even slept in one. When questioned as to the use of this ever-present cap, the reply always was, tilt sartinly do keep the cold outen my head. One of Grandmammyk weaknesses was her enjoyment in posing as an invalid. One glance at her proportions would instantly dispel any anxiety as to the state of her health, but her answer in reply to an inquiry concerning her health would invariably be lTse feeling very porely this mornin. Before reaching Marse Johnishouse the spirits of the young people could no longer be contained and they broke out into shouts of itChristmas gift, Marse John? or itChristmas gift, Miss Ann? and as they gathered about the porch of the house, the members of the family came out to greet them. After the eggnog, according to an immemorial custom, had been passed around, the presents were distributed. Old Tomis face was made to beam by the possession of a Hbrand-new suit ob clothes? not even :Marse John had worn them. Grandmammy seemed to forget her chron- ic aches and pains in the happy possession of five new black lace caps. On the first evening of this week of rejoicing a wedding was to occur. The prospective bridegroom was not held in any great esteem by Old Tom, who called him a ttgood-for-nuffin nigger, and said that if dat stick yonder was not in plain sight ob dat lazy Joe, held hoe de corn wid his eyes shut, and den what would de corn be ? By seven oiclock the negroes 0f the surrounding plantations had ar- rived. During the marriage ceremony, which they regarded more as a lively and happy affair than a solemn one, the bride and groom stood under a tree 3A;
