Excerpt from State Normal Magazine, Vol. 15: May, 1911
Uncle Billy settled back comfortably in his splint-bottomed chair, thrust his thumbs in the armholes of what had once been Colonel Anderson's dinner vest, and proceeded to give his most hospitable attention to his visitor. They were sitting under the big oak which shaded nearly the whole of the patch of yard in front of Uncle Billy's cabin. It was in April. The leaves on the big oak were still young and tender. Over in the corner of the yard where the white lilacs would bloom later on, a hive of bees were humming busily. From the open cabin door, over which hung a rusty horseshoe, came the clat ter of heavy crockery, the sound of Aunt -ca'line's voice croon ing some old plantation melody, and the savory smell of siz zling bacon.
