What I was going to say about the little ridge up there where Troy and Roy
live, up there this side of Illowing Rock, stayed up there eighteen years, butchered for Boone Fork Lumber Company when the band mill ran over here at
Shull ' s Mill, then I came back here, home to the old place .
Interviewer:

Mr. Ruppard:
Yes sir.
Interviewer :
How old were you when you moved away from there?
Right up there above Willow Dale.
Mr. Ruppard: I was just ten year old when we come from over there over here.
I'm eighty-two years old . We been here some while .
Interviewer:
Did your brothers and sisters help with the farming?
Mr . Ruppard: Oh yeah . I can remember very well nister when there were
nine of us all big enough at home at one time to take a row of corn across
the hill together . Went to the taole and filled the table as far as here
over to mama . Lived better then than we can now . And it was every day
business .
Interviewer:
Did you all raise most everything you needed on the farm?
Mr. Ruppard : Yes sir . We hardly ever go to buy anything unless it would
be a poke of flour once in a while. The rest of the stuff was all raised on

a gallon of water to his wife . I stayed with them nearly three weeks and when
they sent me back home they bought me a pair a overhauls just like the ones
I got on now . I've wore pretty much ever since. I can remember stuff back
then just about as good as I can a month ago . It was daylight to dark
work, carry a lantern up at night to tie up ( unintangible) and put it
in stacks. People have to do it this day and tiwe they'd die in spite of
everything.
l~r .
Interviewer:
Do you think life was better then than it is now?
�3
Mr. Ruppard:
Well in a way .
Interviewer:
What ways was it better?
Mr . Ruppard : We never had any of this back then . . . I can remember very well.
I was ten year old when we lef t over there and come here . Been here ever since
and up to that time you never heard of a sickness only one thing . An old
one-eyed fellow lived over here at Matney and people would come from Cove Creek
and come to him to get him to make medicine to cure Diptheria they call it .
Now then there is all kinds of disease everywhere. Every kid that took
Diptheria would come to old man Doc Hogsy right over here at Matney . They
had to make medicine to cure that. You would hear tell of measles, mumps,
something like that, but I mean anything like cancer, stuff that a way
you never heard tell of it.
Interviewer: When the doctor had to take care of people what did he charge
and how did you pay him?
Mr. Ruppard: Back when we were over there for eighteen years, there weren ' t
two doctors in this country at that time, old man Doc Perry and Doc Fybes
down on Cove Creek . If they went to see you years ago they went horseback riding.
Interviewer :
Mr.
was
the
two
Well how were the roads?
Ruppard: Oh boy it was bad . Not a hard surface road heard tell of. It
just out of one hole and into another one . They call you out to work enroads and you had to do it for free. They'd work you out two days every
weeks. I worked this road here when free labor was working .
Interviewer:
Were the roads wide enough for wagons?
Mr. Ruppard : Just about one way. You had to pick places ti pass. It wasn't
like it is now where you could pass anywhere . A lot of places you would have
to pick places to pass . I've hauled lumber from here to Elk Park and Cranberry
on the dirt road, mud down through there. You be expecting to meet somebody
and have to pass them with a load of lumber. It's all together different.
Interviewer: Well you've talked about how hard you had to work, did you ever
have time for games or anything like that .
Mr. Ruppard: Lord dickens.
place a going.
It was daylight to dark, after dark to keep the
Interviewer :
You never got to go out and fool around with your friends?
Mr. Ruppard:
Very seldom did we get to' do the same thing as a vacation day .
Interviewer:
What did you do for entertainment?
Mr. Ruppard:
Like I tell you, hard work .
That's what we got .
�4
Interviewer:
You didn't have get togethers?
Mr. Ruppard: Only thing like that back then was in clearing new ground people
would go in ... if we had a big new ground to clear here, the Binghams down
here and Haurts and all of them would come in here and help us in our new ground
and when we got ours ready to pile the logs and burn the brush we'd go on and
help them get theirs ready. And while the men folks were doing that the women
folks would have a quilting . . They sit around and quilt and get dinner. I
fell on two old sled standards years ago and broke two ribs back there and just
got so I could get out of the hospital with that and they swell up on me
and it cuts my breath off every once in a while. I guess I took a team and
logged more than anybody in this country that I know of now. Two big settings
up in Jenkins, Kentucky, two big settings up at Garden Creek, 26 miles above
Wilkesboro. We logged all over this country.
Interviewer:
What would you do leave home for a couple weeks?
Mr. Ruppard:
Yes sir.
Interviewer:
How was the pay then?
Mr. Ruppard: It come slow. It come slow, Mister. I was talking to a fellar
the other day about going up there to · Kentucky on that job, we destroyed and
wasted more timber that if we had it back this day and time we could buy up a
sight. Big chestnut logs and we'd just cut a twelve foot slice out of them
to make our log losd out of and just leave the rest hardwood, poplar, and
stuff and now old rotten wormy chestnut is way up yonder. We wasted more
than people make this day and time.
Interviewer:
Besides logging and farming what other jobs have you worked at?
Mr. Ruppard:
That's about all I ever did, farmed, sawmilled, logged.
Interviewer:
Which work did you like the best?
Mr. Ruppard: I just as soon get out and go to the mountains after a trail
of logs as I would anything. Or work at a sawmill if every man does his
part under a sawmill shed. I loved that pretty good. You couldn't find
most of them that would do that. One would loaf on his work and that would
make it harder on the rest of us under the shed. If everybody would carry
his load, I'd just as soon work under a sawmill shed.
Interviewer:
Was Saturday and Sunday any different from the rest of the week?
Mr. Ruppard:
We'd work Saturday and take off on Sunday.
Interviewer:
What did you do on Sunday?
Mr. Ruppard: Go to church and have a good time. Most of the time we had to
work late Saturday night carrying out hay and tie up the stacks. It was hard
business.
�5
Interviewer:
Did you go to church on Sunday and stay all day?
Mr. Ruppard: No. We go until after the service and come
back home.
lay around or walk up to your neighbors.
Interviewer :
What kind of church did you go to?
Mr. Ruppard :
Baptist .
We'd
Everyone of us, the whole bunch was Baptist .
Interviewer: What did you do when you started getting a little older about
courting girls?
M.r. Ruppard:
going.
We'd ask daddy if we could go out .
Interviewer:
Where would you go if you went?
If he said no then you weren't
Mr . Ruppard: Just go to her house. I was telling a fellow here the other
n~ght • he. was· talking about drinking liquor . I said anybody can smell gas or 1
~iquor quicker than I can they just might as well stay in bed. I don't fool with
it and I never did . I had a pair of mares and I hooked them to a bug . ..
I dated this girl nearly four years, stayed in a sawmill with her da~ly and
hauled lumber through the \-?inter time with him ... we took a buggy ride down to
Elk valley, down Elk Park and around on Sunday . And they was Advents; Seven
Day Advents. We came hack from the ride and I hitched the mares as far as from
here to the road from their house. Her daddy never would ask me to help him on
Sunday . But when we drove up her daddy and grandpaw, an old man, was up in the
hollar trying to finish stacking some hay. It looked like it was going to rain.
Well this girl ' s name Fas l)aisie, but her daddy always called her son . Her
sister's name was Blanche and he always called her Jack . He seen us walking
up to tl\e house and hollared, ''hey Son." She said, "what do you want Papa?"
He said, ''bring us a bucket of water up here . '·' We went out to this spring and
carried them a bucket of water and he said, "Son, how about getting up there
and finish stomping down that ' so-and-so'· hey . " He was an awful man to swear .
That's the only thing I ever had against him. I said, "no, I ' 11 do it." I
wasn't going to stand there and see her do it . Before I did it he said, ''Cart
you never have took a drink and before you get up on that hay you got to take a
drink. 1 ' Before I could say anything there he come around that haystack totin
a gallon jug, holden the cork in his teeth and pouring it like he was pouring
water. To satisfy him I took that jug and turned it up and took one swallow.
I got the whole whiff of it as I . . .. I got up there and before we could finish
that haystack, I had to hold to th~ top of that stack to keep from .. . . . I could
see everything in twos, two of everything . And I noticed this girl sitting up
there laughing at me. Yeah, she was tickled to death. I had to hold to that
dogged pole up there to keep f rom falling off till we got that stack done .
Then I had to go back down to the house. I had to go about from here to the
woods up yonder to my horse and buggy. I remember very well trying to get my
horses unhitched and a fellow come along that was courting one of my sisters,
Walt Bennet, he was corning over here . Re got me in that buggy and brought me
home, took my mares and turned them loose . The next thing I could remember,
buddy, was right in that room, right in there, my mother was standing there
trying to pour sweet milk down me . I could always blow an old French harp.
�6
My paw, he was sittinr, there and he said, " son, let's .~ear you play some on your
French harp. Be said that I said, "where's the dad-blame thing at.'~ rle gave
me that French harp. Instead of holding it the way I was supposed to, I was
blowing in the back of it. He said that I said, " I can't blow this dad-blamed
thing." And I throwed it at him and bearly missed him in the face. So I count
it that I been tight one time in my life. Then one other day we went to Johnson
City. Feller up here, Lee Ward, went with us, cattleman. I bought me a calf.
Coming on back ... Willie, my oldest boy, he lives down here by Ernie Tripplet,
by Connie Yates out there. Lee says to Willie, "I want to p.sk yo u something.
I want the truth and Willie I want you to tell me. Did you ever see your papa
turn up anything to drink?" Willie says, " No sir, not in my life I ain't."
Coming back outside of Johnson City there's a place Mister Lee can 't pass to save
his life without stopping and ~etting him a pint. But when he does he says,
"Mister Cart there ain't no use to offer it to you. You won't drink it."
And he'll set it behind the seat. And I'll take an ~ oath anytime you want me to
that I never saw a bottle turned up to Lee Ward's mouth while he was behind
the steering wheel. Lee said, " I want to ask you again . Did you ever hear
your daddy swear?" He says, "No, only when he was talking after somebody else
and telling what they said." I brought that calf back ... Mister Lee says,
11
Mister Cart, before you put that calf on that rich cows milk you better give
her something for the scaires. I've got the medicine." I said, "Mister Lee,
I 'd just soon pay you as anybody." He got that old calf and took it over there
to the barn. In the barn set an old Pepsi bottle with about that much clorox
in it. He just pick that stuff up and poured it down that calf and that calf
went about half way across tne yard there and just fell over. I said, ''looky
there Mister Lee." He said, "Goddamn."
I said, "there ain't no Goddamn to it. It's a dead calf." It just kick two
or three kicks and it was dead right quick. He said, "what was in that bottle?"
I said, "you had it poured down that calf so quick, I couldn't tell you."
It was clorox Andrew had over there bleaching his Stallion's mane. He came out
with his checkbook to write me the money for the calf. I said, "no Mister Lee.
That money's worth advertising your doctoring. He said, "Cart, don't you ever
tell anybody about this." Well if I'd promised the man that I wouldn't have
told it then I'd not told it, but I never promised that I wouldn't. I swapped
horses with him one time and he gave me fifty dollars to boot. He said, "I'll
swap with you if you'll never tell anybody I booted you." I said, "that's the
reason I want to swap with you Mister Lee; so I can tell everybody that I got
a little boot in a horse swap.'' Well a little later on over here at the stock
sells in Boone, we were all standing up on the bank watching the rotation.
Right there about middle ways there layed a two year old that was just bearly
milk broke. He was just a shaking. One of them, a fellow called on Mr. Fred
Greene.
Me and Lee were standing right together watching them run the cattle
in there. One of the fellows said, "Fred here's one down the milkboard. He
called on a fellow, Johnson, to get some ~oys and drag him out of the way so
the other ones would quit runnin~ over him. He said, "I'll get him up from
there directly. I'll give hirr. a dose of penicillin." I said, "Mister Taylor
if you can't get him up Mister Lee here can." We had a lot of fun together.
Interviewer:
What did he intend to give the calf?
Mr. Ruppard:
He figured it was
\Tater
and he mixed this powder with it, but he
�7
poured that clorox down that calf . That's what killed it . It just walked there and
i t didn't kick three kicks.
He just poured that powder in that Pepsi bottle .
He never asked if it was water or coffee of liquor no~ nothing.
Interviewer:
Well the man that gave you the drink of liquor, did he make it?
Mr. Ruppard : Oh, no sir. A fellow right down here this side of Elk Park bootlegged all the time. His daddy did up till he died then old Hoove Eller . ..
old man Ben Eller, he made it and sold it all fiis life . After Ben died Hoove
ran it, he sold it. Anybody wants a gallon of liquor they go down to Hoove
Eller ' s . Me and his oldest brother, a crippled fellow, took a load of lumber
over tp Elk Park, broke a wagon wheel down, didn't get to come back that nigpt .
A fellow down there name Williams fixed our wagon wheel, and we slept with
Uncle Ben in what he called his liquor house . There wasn ' t much roof to it,
but it had a good floor and it was good and warm. Thomas and Ben made an agreement about something . Ben moved our bed where he had a lid there and he raised
it up and reached down there and pulled up two gallons of liquor. That bo-x
was sitting just as full of gallons and half gallons just _ pretty as you please .
as
We stayed there over night . Sometime during the night it come to snowing one
of the prettiest snowa I believe I've ever seen. That always did me good too.
It would snow and we could pull our logs easier. I bet you the next morning
that snow three or four inches on us. Ben said Reese .. . he was laying over
there behind. He was way bigger than me or Reese was . He said, "Reese. What
do you want Mr. Boss . " He said, "Reese, it ' s time to start a fire . " He says,
"OOOOOOH Mr . Boss." I can see .him just as plain as if he was here talking.
Ben said, ''you coming out from be~ind there Reese?" "OOOOOOH Mr . Boss I don't
believe I can." Be said, "I be dad-blamed if you don ' t." He picked a little
of the cover up on on his arm and rolled all of that snow back on Reese . He
said, "wait Mr. Boss . Wait Mr . Boss . I'm acoming." Two or three fellers had
stayed there on the floor and you couldn ' t tell them from snow. Ben ran them
up from there. Now this fellow I was telling you about, I courted his girl,
he kept it regular, too, buddy. He kept his liguor .
Interviewer:
When did you get married?
Mr. Ruppard: Oh, I was about 23 years old. She was 16 . What I was going to
tell you about the liquor business now. Two fellows were shot over there at
Foscoe on Christmas Day . That liquor came from down in a whole where we lived
at Watauga Gap . Old man John Townsend, they claimed, could come nearer to making
pure whiskey than anybody they knew of . Well from Saturday evening to Sunday
night they kept the road full going down there. They'd go down there and spend
theit money and go on back home . They never bothered a thing at our house
except just passing back and forth . Two fellows, I forget their names, but
they fished all the time. They were sitting up under a big oak tree and one said
he wished he had some of them fried up, he loved to eat them . Well somebody
said, "if you like fish so much why don't you eat them ~·a..; . He said, " by God
I can." He caught one that was four or five inches long and he put it in his
mouth and swallowed it. They'd had bet 25¢ and it cost him twenty-five dollars
to operate to. get that fish out. He swallowed it alive. Well anyway, them
same two fellows come up through there one day, had them a gallon a piece and
started to come in the house. My daddy stopped'em . Said they weren ' t bringing
that stuff in the house with all the youngins in there. They tried to come
anyway and my daddy had to drag one of them out by his ankles. That was the only
�8
trouble we had the whole time we lived there . But after that killing took place . ..
my daddy knowed all four of ' em, worked with them. The high sheriff of the
co~nty, Luther Farthing, Coe Perry, Ed Shipley, and old man, I forget his name;
we d g~ne to b:d, mama and us children. We slept back in the bedroom and papa
slept in here in front of the fireplace. I wasn\t asleep and somebody knocked on
the door . Dad said, "come in . " · If he hadn't ask where I was at I wouldn 't
have cared so much. Sheriff said, .. he called my daddy grandpa all the time . ..
he said, " Grandpa, where is Carter a:t?" I got up and came in there and we sat
there and talked to eleven o'clock . Finally he turned around to me and said,
•:carter I want to tell you my business." I said, "What's that Sheriff? What
have I done or is it something I ain't done . " He said, "no, I brought these
three men with me for you to be swore in here as deputy sheriff if it won't be
too much trouble for you . " I said, ,. Thank you Sheriff. That's as nice as can be t.
asked of anybody . I been here thirteen years and I can't do enough to get people
to stop going down there let alone being a target propped up out there to be
shot at . " I went on back to bed. He finally deputized one of my brothers, Coy,
to help him catch one of Dave Chirley's boys . They was making liquor up in the
hollar up there . Bill Whiter's boy, Paul ~'hiter, ¥as up at Blowing Rock courting.
About your size for the world and not a finer hoy on the Blue Ridge . He had to
pass here and on up through Dave's where they was making the liquor . He come
ridinf through in a buggy and they hollared halt at him and didn ' t hear them.
They was laying out there on a stack out, Coy and the Sheriff . Coy shot the boy
right through the arm there as purty as you please . Talk about somebody giving
up their job in a hurry, now Coy did . I never had a run in with the law. I ' ve
been in court one time and the judge scared me, I could _
haye_ gone out the top
of that building . I went up there and I was a butcher for the Boone Fork Lumber
Company while the ban mill was running . I had two sheep to kill and a beef to
kill every week. Old man Judge Wagner was the man to pay me, giving me three
dollars a day . Now this is the way it went . He went down to Ed Shipley I was
telling you about and he give him twenty-five dollars a ewe, a hundred head of
ewe. He brought 'em up there and had a divided field with fifty on one side
and fifty on the other side . Right here was a white spring and an apple tree
stood over there where I had my block hung for butchering. My orders were to
kill the two best out of the left hand side of the field until they was used up
before I was to kill any on the right hand side . They had jerseys, gernseys,
holsteins, all kinds in there . I had an old collie dog, if I had it now I wouldn ' t
take five hundred dollars for it. I clip his ears and cut off his tail and =I
betcha he weighed 125 pounds. People would come to see that dog catch a sheep.
I get my block hung, then I pick out the best one in the bunch and I'd hit that
one on the back with a peice of bark of a stick and I ' d say get her Red . No
matter hiw many times he ' d chase the sheep around the herd when he finally got it
seperated he would get it by the legs and drag it to me . Well that morning my
daddy was up there with me and he said, "look coming up the hill." There wasn ' t
a road to get up there and a bunch of people from the lumber company were coming
up the hill . They got up there and the boss says, •:son which one you gonna give
us today?" I said I hadn ' t had time to look them over yet. · Hell the ones on the
left side were all nasty looking and had what I call snot-slinkings coming out
thear mouth and nose . He picks one out of that bunch and says to kill it and not
to kill another one till he sends me word. The next day I was down by the sawmill
and Mr . Jud Wagner come up riding a great big old horse and he said, "Hey Mr.
Ruppard you back fron killing sheep already?" I said, "No, I ain't killed no
sheep and back already." He said, "Well ain ' t the day sheep day . " I said, "No,
'
�9
today ain't sheep day . Mr . Richard told me Tuesday morning to kill that one
and not to kill any more till he sent me word . " He got mad said he was gonna
tell them all off . He swore tnar he rode that horse up to where they was and
cussed them all out. I know he was l y ing' cause if he ' d rode that horse up
there he would have nad to ride it across two train trussels and there's
no way he could have done tnat . Thursday week here comes the deputy sheriff
and sentence my daddy and me to Boone to go to court . What it was, the company
was sueing Ed Shipley f or putting diseased sneep off on 'em . Jud was sueing
Ed Shipley for putting then off on him . Well, they called the case and they
said, "tell us your ousiness up there with them sheep . And I told him I
was the butcher for the Boone Fork Lumber Company. I told, I had had orders
to kill two sheep a week and a beef . I was supposed to take the best two
out of the left hand side. The judge was sitting up there behind me and he
said, "look around here son." Buddy I could ' 9- went out the top of that
court house . He said , "what do you mean the two best out of the left hand
side?" And told him the right hand side had more snotty noses and nasty
behinds and germy sheep . You know from that day till this they never did
settle that unless they compromised some how. Tnis fellow I was telling you
about natl this old leather saddle. Nice saddle. I had one . Anyway he was
a big old fat fellow and he had that open end saddle on that big old horse
he was riding. There was this woman that lived up above us, she could plow
as good as any man ever could. She could take a team of horses and handle
them better than a man . Well old Ben went up to her house on that big horse
and while he was there , she turned that saddle around on his horse and you
know he rode that horse all the way back down there to Foscoe before he turned
that saddle around, nearly ten miles . You should have seen that fellow .
He was sore and black and blue up under there where he ' d rode that saddle
backwards all that way . Yeah . We had our ups and downs; ups and downs .
Interviewer:
Did you get to go to school very much?
Mr. Ruppard: I never got to go to school over two months in my life. I
was talking to a feller the other day . His daddy was the only teacher I
ever went to. He smite me . He hit me . He was a little feller . . . Ralph
Wilson's daddy, Frank Wilson, alittle fellow . Rignt there at Willow Dale
where I'm telling you, right over there a little farther. There was an old
well there, That ' s the reason they built the st:hool there. They cleaned
that well out a little later and you'd be surprised at the old dead dogs
and cats and chickens and things they got out of that old well . Right
on above now us boys had us a swimming hole. It was long as from here
that old building up yonder and it was about ten or twelve feet deep. About
middle ways there was an old apple tree limb sticking out over the water.
And we were playing 'mad dog ' we called it. \{ e were always playing that,
us boys .
I could run then .
The person that was it would say, " innie minnie
miny moe, catch a guinie by the toe," then you would light out after them.
I had caught all of them except for one boy . He went up that apple tree and
I went up after him . He started out on that limb and I was right behind
him. Well he got out there and I started shaking the limb . Ee fell in
the swimming hole and nearly drowned. I ended up having to jump in there and
pull him out. Well there was this girl up there watching and she says she ' s
going to tell the teacher . I lite out after her to make sure she tells
�10
the truth. Well she told him and he sends me to get a switch. You needn'.t
come back with one with just one switch on it, it had to have two switches on
it. He switched me, boy he switched me.

A name given to the resource
Appalachian Oral History Project Interviews
Description
An account of the resource
In 1973, representatives from Appalachian State University (ASU) began the process of collecting interviews from Watauga, Avery, Ashe, and Caldwell county citizens to learn about their respective lives and gather stories. From the outset of the project, the interviewers knew that they were reaching out to the “last generation of Appalachian residents to reach maturity before the advent of radio, the last generation to maintain an oral tradition.” The goal was to create a wealth of data for historians, folklorists, musicians, sociologists, and anthropologists interested in the Appalachian Region.
The project was known as the “Appalachian Oral History Project” (AOHP), and developed in a consortium with Alice Lloyd College and Lees Junior College (now Hazard County Community College) both in Kentucky, Emory and Henry College in Virginia, and ASU. Predominately funded through the National Endowment for the Humanities, the four schools by 1977 had amassed approximately 3,000 interviews. Each institution had its own director and staff. Most of the interviewers were students.
Outgrowths of the project included the Mountain Memories newsletter that shared the stories collected, an advisory council, a Union Catalog, photographs collected, transcripts on microfilm, and the book Our Appalachia. Out of the 3,000 interviews between the three schools, only 663 transcripts were selected to be microfilmed. In 1978, two reels of microfilm were made available with 96 transcripts contributed by ASU.
An annotated index referred to as The Appalachian Oral History Project Union Catalog was created to accompany the microfilm. The catalog is broken down into five sections starting with a subject topic index such as Civilian Conservation Corps, Coal Camps, Churches, etc. The next four sections introduced the interviewees by respective school. There was an attempt to include basic biographic information such as date of birth, location, interviewer name, length of interview, and subjects discussed. However, this information was not always consistent per school.
This online project features clips from the interviews, complete transcripts, and photographs. The quality and consistency of the interviews vary due to the fact that they were done largely by students. Most of the photos are missing dates and identifying information.

Nov. 7.-- This is a great day. It brings me much work. In fact every day brings this to me. I
think that it is great to have a job--a real hard one. The idle man deserves no envy.
The great event in school history today is basket ball. AT night we have a double-header. This
game is with Newland High School. The boys have the first round and are victors. Our girls also
win. It will be good for our teams to get a licking. Victories are not best.
Nov. 8.-- At chapel we have Dr. Johnson, ofElon College. He talks a few minutes for us. He
makes himself agreeable. Often we have visitors who drop some good thoughts for us.
In the afternoon I go home on the Jitney. Almost all the passengers are light girls. They delight
in going with the jitney-man.
In my home I find Mrs. Greene a very sick woman . It is not often that she finds it necessary to
take her bed. All the others are in good condition.
Nov. 9.-- This is one day that we have remain[ed] at home. I have the doctor to come and see
Mrs. Greene. I find it necessary for her to have some treatment. It is a rare thing that we miss church
service. In the morning we have some time to read and rest. In the afternoon we have too many
visitors for rest and reading. Sometimes I think it would be a good thing for us if people would stay
away. We have a certain old crowd all the time.
Nov. 10.-- The good weather is a thing of the past. Signs tell us that winter is near at hand. The
heavy overcast, the chilly wind, and the pierceing [sic] mist tell us that bad weather is on the border.
I remain at home until noon. I read some, work a little and enjoy a quiet hour. I love to remain
940
�A
J
Greene Diaries
at home until noon. I long to have a good hour at home.
At noon I start to Boone. I have four rides and five walks. I am not long in going. I do not
remain long in the town. I soon go to my room for study. I love t get even in my work. I have so
many papers to read. I am not able to give them all the attention that they ought to have.
Nov. 11.-- This morning the fog is dense and it appears that bad weather is at hand. By noon it
is one of the finest days that we have had in a long time. The weather may be good for a long time.
Today I have been busy. There has not been an idle moment. I finished reading the New
Testament the fourth time since July. I try to read some every day. I get even with my paper work.
At chapel we have a program. Prof. Wilson makes a talk. At times he is a little spicy. We have
some music. The male quartette [sic] delights us much. All will listen to music.
Nov. 12.-- At chapel today a man from Winston-Salem gave a reading. He declaims as it was
done in the old school. We are sure that it is an effective way of teaching English.
The weather has never been finer. We think that each day will be the last. Grim winter will be
upon us one of these days.
I am in the Library one period. I am sure that I should like this work. It is an interesting place
for a lover of books.
In the afternoon Mr. Rupe and I drive to my home. We find that Mrs. Greene is much better.
We have a pleasant hour. Just after dark we return to Boone and do some work.
Nov.13.-- Examinations are on hand. This is a hard time for a teacher. We read papers until we
are almost exhausted. We believe in short papers. The best thing that I can see in this part of school
work is that it gives an opportunity for a good review.
One serious thought comes to me. Our home life is loose. Small boys and girls wish to have
their way. Some parents are so weak and careless that they do not offer restraint. What is to be the
result? I fear to think about the consequences. Modem conditions are such that it is difficult to hold
the home together. Perhaps we can stem the tide.
Nov. 14.-- The day is gloomy. This morning there is a dense fog. At times during the day mist
has fallen . In the west dark wintery clouds hang low. Winter is likely to be upon us at any hour.
The heavy air has been depressing. A time like this is hard on a man who has to work with a crowd
of young people. Conditions make life miserable.
The examinations are concluded. It has been a long hard pull for us. In the main I have come
through it as easily as any. There is no class of work that is so trying on a teacher as reading
examination papers.
Nov.15.-- This is a gloomy day. The fog is dense. There is some rain. A stiff breeze is blowing.
From all appearances we may expect winter at any time.
This is a hard day in the school room. These damp days have a bad affect [sic]. The denseness
of the atmosphere has a depressing affect upon teachers and pupils. It does not take much to disturb
941
�a man.
In the afternoon I start for home. I do not find any way to ride, so I start home walking. It looks
as if I am in for a long hard tramp. Just after I leave town Carl Henson picks me up and carries me
to Adams. Here I get with Ralph Bingham and go in home. This is the best part of any journey. A
good fire and a cozy comer greets me.
Nov. 16.-- Today is cool. On the mountain there is frost on the timber. The wind howls. This
reminds us that winter is corning.
At Sunday School we have a good crowd. I am somewhat encouraged with our people. There
may be a better day for us.
In the afternoon I go to Mabel. First I visit my father. I spend some time with him. He seems
to have many visitors. From here I go to my old home. I spend the night here. It seems a little like
home. There are many associations connected with the place.
Nov. 17.-- This morning I am out early. In fact we are out much earlier that [sic] we figured on.
I go to Mabel and catch the mail for home. I must confess that I love my home better than I thought.
I remain at home until noon. I start to Boone walking, but Carter Farthing takes me in his truck
and carries me to Boone.
Court is in session. Judge Harding, of Charlotte, is presiding. This is for the trial of civil actions.
It has been a long time since we have had a court of this kind.
My next stop is at the Baptist Church. Rev . W . R. Bradshaw, of Hickory, makes an address. He
talks on the 1925 program of the Baptist[s].
After corning to the Hall I move from room 31 to room 25 . I am delighted with my new quarters.
A man usually likes a new change.
Nov. 18.-- The first snow of the season greets us this morning. It is a light skiff. This is a
reminder that more is corning.
I must confess that I have felt well today. For a long time I have not enjoyed life so much.
During the night I rested well. Sleep puts us in a conditio for work.
At chapel we have Dr. A. W. Dula, of Lenoir. He lectures on the eye. I suppose that this is one
of his ways of advertising. In fact he says some interesting things .
In the afternoon I hand in my report for the quarter. This is a hard job. It is the hardest thing that
I have to do.
Nov. 19.-- The weather is ideal for winter. It is cool, but the sun shines. In many respects we
have never had more delightful days.
In school it has been a little hard on me. Things have not gone so smoothly as I wish. We have
a few students who do not have any ambition to work.
I work all the afternoon. I take a part of the time to read papers. A man must keep on the heels
of many student[ s] , or there will be no work done. The most of people work under compulsion. We
do not work from the love of it.

Nov. 20.-- This is one of the finest days that we have had this autumn . It is the opinion of many
that it has been a long time since we have had such fine weather in the autumn. To-day has been
warn [sic]. The sun has shone all day. In reality it is a glorious time to live.
We have had a fine day in school. There are many students who are trying to do some fine work.
This makes school work worth while. Among the many good ones we find a few who are sorry and
useless.
The greatest thing for me is the study of Social Problems. The origin and development of the
family captivates my attention. There is no doubt but what the family life holds the key to the
situation in all modem problems. Laxness here is felt all along the line.
Nov. 21.-- The bout of good weather is a thing of the past. The rain pours in abundance. The
dry weather is over. For the next six months it will be cling to overshoes and wraps.
Today has been a busy one for me. I work from early dawn until a late hour at night. It seems
that I have never had so much to do.
The social problems in our county is something that concerns us much. One of the most serious
is the laxness in our homes. Children of tender age are allowed to go when they please and where
they please. Another problem is the sale and drinking of intoxicants. The drink evil has too many
friends . Still another serious question is the limitation of amusements. It seems that many of our
people are mad over trivial amusements. All these and others are a menance 128 to our social welfare
and religious culture.
Nov. 22.-- The second snow of the season came today. There was not enough to cover the
ground. Also, there was some sleet and some rain . The wind is rather strong.
.
In school we have much to do. At the end of a week both the teachers and the students are tired.
We have so many students who do not take their work seriously.
In the afternoon I start for home. I do not get farther than town until I catch a way to ride. At
three o'clock I am at home.
After a rest I go to see Paul Bingham, who is suffering from a shock in a car wreck.
Nov. 23.-- I have many things on hand. In fact Sunday is my busy day. First I visit a neighbor.
Upon my return I prepare for Sunday School. We have a good number present. From here I go
home. I work until it is time to return to the church. I practice some of the children for a program
that we are to render on the Fifth Sunday. By night I am tired enough to rest. I am giving all my
time for others. I do not get time to visit the neighbors.
Nov. 24.-- Today we have had many kinds of weather. There is a dark overcast during the
morning; in the afternoon it is clear and cool.
I arrive in Boone early. I spend some time in town. I see many things that amuse and interest
128

�me. I come to my room and commence work. I have many things that need my attention.
In the afternoon I visit Mr. Ward's and Mrs. Cook's. I have a pleasant time. I return to my
boarding place for supper., and then I am in my room for study.
Nov. 25.-- This is real winter. It is the coldest day that we have had this season. The truth of the
matter is that we enjoy our winter wraps. In some of our rooms we do not have any too much heat.
I have been a very busy man. The classes have done some very good work. The most annoying
thing that we have to contend with is students coming in late.
At night I make out the county examinations. This is a job that ought to be done with the greatest
care. It seems that I have more than I can do.
Nov. 26.-- The day is cool. We do not look for much more good weather. Winter is likely to
close in any time.
I do my work in school. It goes on well. I find so many things to do. There is no time for me
to rest.
In the afternoon I go home for Thanksgiving. We have just one day off. I start home walking.
Thos. Hopkins, of Newland, gives me a ride in his car.
At night Mrs. Greene and I visit Mrs. John Dugger, a sick lady. We remain with her for more
than one hour.
Nov. 27.-- This is a day full of activity. The first job that I have is drilling the children on some
pieces for next Sunday.
We have a fine time at home. Mrs. Alice Cook, Annie Cook, and Arthur Rupe come from Boone
and Mr. and Mrs. Glenn , of Sugar Grove. We have a fine time. Mrs. Greene has a good dinner.
Late in the day I start for Boone. I walk a part of the way. I arrive at my room just a little after
dark. Mr. Howell ande I have a pleasant hour. In due time I am in the bed for rest.
Nov. 28.-- This is a fine day. I long for it to remain this way. We think every day that winter will
soon be on hand.
Our work in our classes has been all right. We have enjoyed it real well.
In the afternoon I grad[ e] papers for more than two hours. This is the hardest job that a teacher
has.
At night I work. A job is always waiting for me. In enjoy reading some in good papers and
books.
Nov. 29.-- The weather is cold today. The wind is stiff. The howling winds of winter are upon
us.
After the work of the day I start for home. I stop in town. I start home walking. I do not go far
until I catch a truck and it is not long before I am at home.
At night the children come and we practice for our program at the church on Sunday. This is the
kind of work that we love to do. Really it is the most encouraging. The young folks are the ones to
944

train.
Note: Dec. 1 and Nov. 30 are reversed in Greene's journal.
Nov. 30.-- This is a day long to be remembered. The air is cutting. The dust flies. It is real
winter.
At Willowdale Baptist Church we have a Thanksgiving program. The program is rendered by
the children. They did well. M. J. Willians [sic] delivers a short address. On every hand we hear
the remark that the children did well.
In the afternoon we visit some. Uncle John Smith has a little cold. He still knows how to
become blue. Late in the day we visit J. H. Brinkley. He is enjoying a new house. In the whole this
has been a fine day. Much pleasure has come my way. I can see that there is much good in life.
DECEMBER
Dec. 1.-- The sun shines today, but there is a heavy breeze. In fact it has been too cold for a man
to travel much.
I come to Boone. I take the oath as Justice of the Peace. The new county officers are sworn in.
It is a big day for some. L. M. Farthing is the new sheriff. He is the second Democrat that has been ·
elected in thirty years.
In the afternoon I come to my room and try to work some. The heat is not heavy enough. I soon
have to go for my supper. At night we put in much time in studying.
Dec. 2.-- This is a real cold day. The wind has been something fierce. In school many of the
rooms have been cold. We have so many folks who are always wanting to complain or shirk.
At night I attend a musical at the new theater. It is given by a trio from Chicago. The program
has great variety. A program of this kind is restful to a man who has to work all the time. A man
can not do his best without some rest.
Dec. 3.-- When I awake, the train is going out. This is the latest that I have slept for many years.
I wish that I could sleep more.
The weather is fierce, although it is much calmer than it was yesterday. It seems that winter is
upon us.
At chapel we have the Rev. Mr. Wooseley, of the Methodist Church. He makes some timely
remarks.
At night I prepare a lesson on Social Problems. This a subject that I am much interested in.
Dec. 4.-- The weather is much warmer. We may look for some rain soon.
In school we have made a good honest effort. We have so many people who do not care a snap
945
�whether they learn any thing or not.
The school has three distinguish[ ed] visitors--Dr. Hillman, Dr. Alexander and Dr. Hunter. They
come to see our school.
I put in some time in studying conditins. There is no field in which I am more enthused about.
Dec. 5.-- This morning we had rain, and it continued to pour until afternoon. The sky is seen and
it looks as if we might have some fair weather.
At chapel we have Dr. Hunter, President of Cullowhee Normal. 129 He addresses the student
body.
In the afternoon Dr. Alexander, of Columbia University, delivers an address. He talks to the
student body about our bad teaching. It is one of the most thoughtful addresses that we have heard
in a long time.
At night we have a basketball game with Crossnore. It is one of the most interesting games that
we have had in· a long time. The game goes to the visitors 28 and 26. The spirit of the game is good.
Dec. 6.-- The day gives us a great variety of weather. This morning it is clear, just afternoon it
is cloudy, and at night there is much rain.
After doing my work in the schoolroom, I try a law suit in town. The case is continued until
Monday. I catch a car and am soon at home.
At night we have a box supper at Cove Creek High School. The weather is so bad that the crowd
is small, but the crowd is lively and the supper is a great success. The fun continues until late at
night.
Dec. 7.-- I attend Sunday School at Willowdale. We have a good crowd present. We have some
interest in this kind of work.
Just afternoon I walk to Dr. W. 0 . Bingham's. I spend several hours with him. It is interesting
to see the shop of a doctor. It is a great science.
Upon my return I stop at Attorney John H. Bingham's. We have a pleasant hour with him. It
is late when I arrive home. It seems that I have had no time to study and rest on this trip.
Dec. 8.-- This is one of the worst days that we have had in a long time. The rain has fallen all
day. At times it comes in torrents. Several times during the day there was electric storms. The old
people say that this is the sign of cold weather.
I have been engaged in the law. I have had the honor of having two cases.
Just afternoon I have my eyes examined by Dr. English, of Johnson City. He gives me every test
that a man needs. When he finishes with me, I am almost blind.
During the afternoon I visit Mrs. Cook's. I have a pleasant hour with her. It seems that I have
returned home. I stayed here for more than two years. I certainly feel that I am among those that I

know.
Dec. 9.-- The weather is much cooler. A man feels best in his winter clothes. Thus far I have
been wearing summer clothes.
Today I have not done much book work. My eyes have not been in shape for reading. I have put
in much time in talking and lecturing to my classes.
At night I rest a short time and then I go to bed. At a close distance I am not able to do work.
I can read a few lines at once.
Dec. 10.-- The weather remains cool. It is the kind of weather for vigorous thinking. At this
time of year we do the best work when it is cool.
In school we get on well. We are able to read and we do several things. We read the paper,
continue our Bible reading and write some letters.
At night we follow our work as usual. We have a fine supper of fried parsnips, but that has no
ill effect on us. After all it is a fine day.
Dec. 11.-- This is one of the finest days that I have had in a long time. During the night I rest
well. I have felt my best all day. The world is a good place in which to live. The people are good.
In fact I do no[t] see much wrong.
The biggest job that we have is putting deportment on the report. This is a matter of form.
Perhaps it is worth something for a student to be checked occasionally. Doubtless we grade in a
careless way.
Dec. 12.-- This is a day full of work. It seems that every minute is full. I have no time to rest.
Some one or some duty calls for each moment.
In the Gymnasium at night there is a game of basket ball between A. T. S. And Cove Creek. It
is one of the most exciting as well as the fastest that we have seen this season. The score stood 22
to 15 in favor of the home team. The game gave room for much laughter.
Dec. 13.-- This is a day of high wind. It is cutting. The chill goes through and through. In many
[places?] the dust is fierce.
Our work in school goes well. It is pleasant all the time. Some of the students do not work, but
it is a congenial crowd to deal with.
In the afternoon I start for home. I do not leave town before I catch a ride. It is not long until
I am at home. By some means I do not feel as well as a man ought.
Dec. 14.-- This is another cold day. The sun shines, but the frost flies. The wind is something
dreadful. It is a very disagreeable time to be out.
At Sunday School we have a good crowd. Not all of our people have lost interest in the best
things of life. After Sunday School Elder G. W . Trivett preaches.
After dinner I rest a short time and then I start for Boone. I arrive in a short time. I indulge in
947
�reading and preparing for tomorrow. ·
Dec. 15.-- We are having school today in order that we may close Friday for the holidays. The
first event of the day is the janitor does not know about the great event and we do not have any heat.
We find, in the second place, that the student body ~sin good shape for a pleasant day.
The day is much warmer. In fact the weather has not been finer in a long time. I enjoy the gentle
rays and the cool, healthful breezes.
Dec. 16.-- The weather is a little bad. There has been a little rain. The air is cutting. A damp
time is oppressive.
This is a hard day on me. I have not felt well. A man cannot do good work unless he is felling
[sic] his best.
Today I have been reading an oration by Burke. He is one of the best that I have ever read. His
argument is a fine specimen of eloquence. His great endeavor is to convince his associates that he
is right.
Dec. 17.-- The weather continues cold. It is ideal weather for health and enjoyment of life. It
is a fact that no one has any complaint to make about the weather this autumn.
In the school room we have had some hard work. It is difficult to get students to work this near
Christmas. By some means we fill up on enthusiasm and we let our work hang lightly on our
shoulders. In fact very few have appetites for work.
Dec. 18.-- Great and stirring events come our way. Some of our boys have the spirit of the
season and enjoy noise very much. We have enough today to last the remainder of the year.
The event of the day is a game of basketball between our girls and the girls from the Crossnore
School. The game is well-contested, but the visitors are a little strong for our team. During the game
we have enough noise to last a whole year.
Dec. 19.-- This is a hard day for all of us. We close with examinations. I conduct five. It is
difficult to hold students in line at this season. So many of the students want to go horne. There are
all kinds of demands made on a man.
In the afternoon I start for horne. I walk almost three miles, before I catch a car for horne. I must
confess that I was a little tired. How good it does seem that I am to have a rest. I have so many
things planned that I may not rest much after all.
Dec. 20.-- Our work today is light. We do not plan any thing elaborate. During the day we make
two trips to the store. It has been a long time since we spent much time at the store. I like to make
this trip occasionally in order to hear the community gossip. It is a wonderful place to hear all the
trash of the countryside.
The weather has been fierce. It has been almost too cold for any one to be out. The wind has
been terrible.

Dec. 21.-- The first job that I have on hand is building fires in the church so that we may have
Sunday School. This is no easy job. I must state that we have comfortable room when it is time for
school. How much our people do enjoy a good comfortable place to hold our school!
In the afternoon I am at home. By some means I am not able to rest as I ought. There are so
many things to disturb a man from real rest and work.
Dec. 22.-- This ought to be called cold Monday. It has been close to zero all day. I go out to
Boone on business. It is so cold that I do not remain long. The wind is sweeping the streets. I attend
to affairs and return with the mail. I am glad to return home.
In the afternoon I look at some land. I love to travel over the hills and look at real estate. There
is a joy in being alone.
Dec. 23.-- There is great variation in the weather. It is cold enough to snow, there is some sleet,
a little rain and some sunshine.
With the boys we have some wood hauled. It does not take long for me to work all that I can
stand. I regret that I am not able to stand work. I do not have wind enough to endure for only a short
time. In the afternoon I remain in. I put some wood in the house.
Dec. 24.-- We have stirring times today. Many are preparing for Christmas. We think that we
must do great things at this season of the year. All our spending must be compassed within a few
days.
Late in the day I go to Sherwood's store. It is a good trip. I am tired enough to rest when I
return.
At night we have a large crowd in our home. We have a jolly time. Santa Claus and his wife
comes to see us.
Dec. 25.-- This is Christmas Day. It is a great time for the young folks . In fact many of the older
ones enjoy it.
Mrs. Greene and I are invited to the home of J. J. Glenn's for dinner. We go early and return
about the middle of the afternoon. We have a splendid time and a good dinner.
At home we have several young people. I am too tired to enjoy much. I have had too many
things to eat.
Dec. 26.-- I remain at home until almost noon. I ride in a car to Mabel with Mrs. Jenkins, of
Bristol. From here I go to Walter Fletcher's for dinner. I do not stay long. I go to my place on the
North Fork. I do some business. There is a sad feeling about the old ground. I wish that that I could
get away from it never to return. There are so many sad things in our lives. Old memories come
trooping back.
Dec. 27.-- This morning I make an early start for home. I leave with the ideal of not returning
for a long time. I catch the mail at Mabel, and in a short time I am at my home. After all the best
949
�of any trip is getting home.
Mr. and Mrs W. M. Thomas and little daughter take dinner with us. We have a splendid time.
Noah Church comes to see us on business. I do not get much time for study. I must talk wisely.
Dec. 28.-- The first job that I have is making fires at the Church. We have every thing in good
shape for Sunday School. We have a fine session. The number is good and the interest is intense.
After Sunday School we go to John Dugger's for dinner. We have a great spread. A part of the
afternoon is spent here. Upon our return home we try to read some, but we are in no condition for
this. We just while away the time in an idle manner.
Dec. 29.-- Today is full of activity. I go to Vilas early. I have a long wait for the Elk Park jitney.
At a late hour it comes and I am on my journey. At noon we arrive at Grace Hospital at Banner Elk.
We remain here for two hours. This is a desirable place for a sick person. I look over the buildings,
grounds and town. I love to come in contact with new places and people. It is almost night when
I start for home. It is after night when I arrive home. I am tired enough to rest.
Dec. 30.-- This is a real bad day. It has rained the most of the time. We have every kind of
weather at this season in this part of the country.
A part of the day is spent in the bed. I am unable to sleep much. I am too nervous. I have been
eating too many rich things.
At night we have some fine music. All of us are musicians in the making. Some day we hope
to do things on a grand and noble scale . .
Dec. 31.-- Today I am at home until almost noon. It rains so hard that I am not able to do much
on the outside. It seems that I am not able to get much rest.
At noon I start to Mabel. I go to my old home on business. I do not remain long. I start home
walking. I walk almost all the way. The rain pours. I am in much of it. Mr. Will Payne picks me
up and gives me a short life. It is late when I return home.

�CHAPTER 20: 1925
JANUARY
This year has been good to me. I have had many good things. The greatest regret that I have is
that I have allowed little things to rob me of much in life.
Qan.l.-- The New Year finds me at home. !remain here all the day. Misses Julie Parker and
lstJ Velma Hodges visit us.
I am delighted to see them. They are visiting in the community.
At night we have a prayer meeting. Asa Greene is leader. A number of our people come out.
This is the season of the near for forming New resolutions. By some means I am afraid to make
one fear that I shall not be able to carry it to a conclusion. I am resolved that I am going to read more
in the Bible than has been my custom.
Jan. 2.-- I have a hard day before me. -1 read the examination papers for the county. I do this
nearly all day. This is a job that I do not like. It is a hard matter to be just in every respect. There
are so many angles from which to look at things.
At night we have some company. In order to please them we make some music. We have two
violins and a banjo. Perhaps there is no better music than that made on stringed instruments.
Jan. 3.-- The weather is much better, It seems to me that the winter is going to be light. This has
not been much snow. The cold has been dry.
I make some trips. I go to the store with Mrs. Greene. It is almost noon when I return.
In the afternoon I plant some trees. We are planning to have some shade at our home. Of course
it will take some years to do it.
At night I go to Mr. E . F. Sherwood's and hear the radio. This is the most wonderful thing that
I have ever come in contact. Without wire we hear for more than a thousand miles. This invention
will give us the latest in amusement.
Jan. 4.-- This is a fine day. Perhaps we never have a finer one at this season of the year.
At Sunday School we have a fine session. It seems that we have some interest in the better things
of life.
951
�Mrs. Greene and I take dinner at Mr. Mast's. We have a splendid time. I have had too much to
eat during the holidays.
Some of our people go to the revival at Henson's Chapel. It has been running for two weeks.
The interest is wide and intense. There are about one hundred seventy-five convertions [sic] and
reclamations. Rev. R. A. Taylor is doing the preaching.
]an. 5.-- This morning is the time for me to leave my home and return to my work. I have not
been able to rest much. There has been something for me to look after all the time.
I come to Boone before noon. I have many things to do. I have my glasses fitted in the Hospital.
People come freom all sides to be treated. I have many things to do in the town.
In the afternoon I go to the school buildings and assist in the work. I soon come to my room and
do some work. It seems that we are getting ready for business. Many of us are anxious to start and
complete the year's work.
]an. 6.-- Today finds us at our old job. There are many new students. Almost all are on the job.
There are a few who must drag along. After all I believe that we have more pleasure when we have
much to do. An idle person never tastes the real good things of life. The busy folks do the work of
the world. The more that I see of life, the more that I am convinced that there is merit in work.
]an. 7.-- This is a real fine winter day. The sun shines and the wind is stirring.
After school I cross the ridge and buy some apples from Mr. Hayes. This trip gives me some
good exercise. By night I am tired enough to rest well.
After supper I go to Supt. Hagaman's on business. I find out some new things about the school
business. Upon my return I do some work in my books. I have all that I can do.
]an. 8.-- This is a dark, damp day. There is some rain. The mud is something frightful.
At chapel Prof. Williams makes a talk on his trip to Florida. Many items have an interest for us.
At night I attend the Lyceum course. The program consists mostly of impersinations [sic]. By
some means I do not think highly of this kind of entertainment. It seems to be exaggerated.
]an. 9.-- Today we have had some real winter. Early there is some sleet, but soon it turns to a
snow. By noon the earth is wrapped in white. This is much more pleasant than so much mud.
In the afternoon I go to town on business. I see that the small boys are having some fun riding
on sleds. It seems that a boy can see no danger in his doings.
]an. 10.-- This is a gloomy day. This morning is difficult to go from place to place. There is
a fog that hangs closely to the earth.
The day is a little hard on me. By some means I become very tired at the close of a week. It is
one steady grind.
In the afternoon I go home. I arrive long before night. I read some before supper. At night we
have a teachers ' meeting at John Dubbers. Rev. Dan Wheeler is with us.
952

J Greene Diaries
Jan. 11.-- This is a day filled with activities. In fact it is one of the hardest days that I have had
in a long time. The first thing that we have is Sunday School. At eleven o'clock I preach from the
theme, "No Room". This is the first time that I have ever spoken in the new church. At three
o'clock I lead in a prayer meeting. We make a brief study of the Eight great Covenants in the Bible.
This is enjoyable work.
Jan. 12.-- This is another day of activity. I have some business to transact. It seems that there
is no rest for me.
Roy Eggers, of Cincinnati, took dinner with me. There are many things for us to talk about. In
the afternoon we go to Boone on business. We manage to see several parties.
At night I do much work. It seems that I have more school work than I can do. I am pressed to
the limit all the time.
]an. 13.-- There is a change in the weather today. The temperature falls rapidly. There is a brisk
wind. The heat is at a low ebb and we suffer from cold.
Sometimes we are inclined to boast. I have done much work. In truth I have not lost any time.
All my waking hours have been in toil. I suppose that this is about the time that we can have. There
is joy in work.
Jan. 14.-- The day is a little cool. In fact it is one of the coldest days that we have had in a long
time. The ground does not thaw much during the day.
The news comes today that Dr. J. W . Jones, of this town is dead in Knoxville, Tennessee. He
has practiced medicine in this town for more than twenty years. In many respects he was a very
brilliant man.
Jan. 15.-- In school this has been an easy day. I have been in good shape for work. More
depends upon a man's physical condition how he gets along than any other one thing.
In the afternoon I put in some time at the law business. I think that I am full to the brim. A man
cannot afford to fool with the job for what there is in it. My time is worth more at something more
valuable.
Jan. 16.-- This is a real bad day. There has been some rain. The ground is real slick. It is
difficult to go from one place to another. The weather is much warmer.
In the afternoon I go to town for a lawsuit. We do not have any trial. This law business is
getting on my nerves. It takes too much of my time. There is some one who always want to have
some kind of a suit.
]an. 17.-- This is a damp and gloomy day. There has been some sleet on the ground. The fog
has been low and heavy.
In the afternoon I go to town and attend to some business. At a late hour I start for home. It is
almost night when I arrive.
953
�The work of the day is concluded by having a meeting of the Sunday School teachers. We have
a fine discussion of the lesson. There are a few who wish to succeed in our work.
]an. 18.-- This is another dreary day. The air has been oppressive. It seems that we have never
had a more gloomy period of weather.
At Sunday School we have a good crowd. It seems that only a few of us have the burden of day
to bear.
In the afternoon I climb the mountain. I do this in order to rest. I have a nervous spell. I long
to be away from a crowd. In fact I cannot rest unless I am.
]an. 19.-- This is one of our worst days. There is a heavy sleet on hand. The fog is close to the
earth and is freezing to the timber.
I come from home to Boone. There is much difference in the temperature. I come to my room
and work. I grade papers almost all day.
At night we have a game of ball with the East Tennessee Normal. The visitors are too strong for
our boys. The visitors have had superior training.
]an. 20.-- A heavy sleet covers the earth. It is a real dangerous time for a person to travel from
one place to another.
In school we have a good day. Our work goes on well. I do much hard work reading papers.
I work at the job until almost night.
In the evening the Literary Societies have their annual reception. This is a great day for some
of them. The social hour delights all. It gives the keenest pleasures.
]an. 21.-- The sun is shining. What a beautiful sight when it shines upon the sleet that covers
all the trees! Its description is left to the poet. By Noon the ice has melted and there is mud in
abundance.
In school we move along well. There are days that move smoothly. This is one of them.
In the afternoon I go to town on business. I do not spend much time in the town. I have too
many things to do. On every hand I find work to do.
Jan. 22.-- The weather continues fine. The sun dries some of the mud. It is a tough time to go
from one place to another.
I have many papers to read. In order to do the best work I find that a man must keep on the track
of student. It seems to be our nature to do only what we are compelled to do. On every hand duties
are calling us. There is no time for rest. I have no time for idleness. It is push forward.
]an. 23.-- This is a fine day. During the night we had a terrific wind storm. Perhaps it has not
blow[n] so hard in Boone in a long time. It ceases sometime during the day.
I am having a hard time to keep my classes at work. Some of the individuals are very indolent.
All they want is a good time.
954

At night the Klu Klux Klan [sic] bum a cross near the town. It is pretty. To many people it ts
a mystery.
]an. 24.-- This is a great day. One of our greatest events is recorder [sic] today. The sun is in
eclipse. It is total in the northern part of the United States. At Boone It is about four-fifths. All the
students tried to get a good look at the great event.
In the afternoon I go to my home. I find that all are coming on in good style. By some means
I am not able to rest as I ought. There are so many things that claim my attention.
]an. 25.-- This is a fine winter day. In truth it is extra fine for this season. By some means we
do not have much snow. There is no season for driving.
At Sunday School we have a fine session. There seems a growing interest in our work. Our
people love the best things. I do not think that we have gone to the bad and that there are no good
people in the world. The best people do not go through a great wave of emotionalism.
Jan. 26.-- This is the great day. The following gentlemen come from Boone in order to hunt
rabbits: J. T. C. Wright, A. R. Smith, A. K. Moore, Worth Speas and Guss Peterson. We go below
Sugar Grove. The result is ten races and four rabbits. In the afternoon the result is three rabbits and
seven races. This has been a great day for some. Hunting is a cruel sport, but we have enough
savage in us to enjoy.
Late in the afternoon we start for Boone. I am tired enough to rest. By the time that I get to my
room I am almost too tired to read. I realize that I must do just a little work. I manage to keep awake
until nine o'clock.
]an. 27.-- This morning we have splendid weather. It looks as if we might have a few fine days.
To our sorrow it is raining and threatens to get cold. At this season of the year we can never tell
what a day will bring us.
In school we have so many people that do have no ambition for progress in their work.
In the afternoon I join a class in physical education. I soon realize how much that I need it. Just
a little work makes me very tired.
At night I spend some time in studying family problems. In many respects it is a gloomy time.
Family life is not as intact as it ought to be. We need checking.
]an. 28.-- This is a great day at the chapel. Dr. McNairy, of the Caswell Training School, spoke
on Heredity. This is one of the most thoughtful addresses that I have ever heard. He is trying to
correct one of the weakest spots in our civilization. We hardly know how weak that we are.
On every hand I see things for me to do. I see much that I must leave for the present. It is
wonderful how things do multiply as age comes on us.
]an. 29.-- Today we have a variety of weather. This morning there is a light sleet. Soon it
becomes heavier. On the timber it presents a wonderful spectacle. By night we have high winds and
955
�__________________........
a little snow.
At chapel we have a Mr. Shaw. He represents the F. A. Owen Publishing Company. He presents
his claims in a modest way.
Today I take a lesson in physical education. A man feels good after taking it.
Jan.
30.-- This is a cold day. There is not much thawing even in the sunshine. The air is raw
and piercing.
The most depressing work that I have to do is grading papers. I read almost one hundred in the
afternoon. I must confess that it is the hardest work that I have to do.
At night I study social problems. This is one among my delightful tasks. I think that we ought
to know conditions as they are about us. We are blind to many things.
Jan. 31.-- The day is fine. It seems that we are going to have some weather for farming.
In school we have much to do. Duty is calling us on every hand. We have many interesting
things. After all school work is more or less of a grind.
In the afternoon I go home. I must confess that I am tir~d. A week of labor about does a man.
At night we have a teachers' meeting. We discuss the prospects for the future. Our people look
upon it lightly.
FEBRUARY
Feb. 1.-- This is a fine day. It seems that the spring of year is here. We are able to sit on the
front porch and enjoy the sunshine.
At Sunday School we have a fine time. There seems to be much interest in our work. I see no
reason why we should not succeed.
At night we hear Rev. G. W. Sebastian preach at our church. He is a great talker. In fact he is
a great preacher. His subject is handled with skill. He is commencing a revival.
Feb. 2.-- This is Groundhog day. He sees his shadow, therefore we are doomed for another
period of bad weather. At least this is what the prophets of evil tell us.
Before noon I come to Boone on the mail. We came very near having a serious wreck. I help
get some electric fixtures for our Church. It seems that we need so many things.
In the afternoon and at night I work on my books and lessons. I am busy all the day. I do not
find time to rest.
Feb. 3.-- This is a close day. The fog is dense. This is one of our real damp day[s]. On every
hand it is depressing.
The school adjourns to attend the funeral of little Kathl yn Hartzog. It is one of the most touching
that I have attended in a long time.

In the afternoon I find many things waiting for me. I use all my time for study, except a short
period for exercise. I find that I can do more when I engage in exercise.
Feb. 4.-- This is a fine day for winter. It seems that spring of the year has come. In fact it is too
good to remain so very long.
We have done much work today. We took a little time for exercise. This enables me to do more
and better work. The hardest task that I have is reading papers. It takes about two hours of my time.
At night I work until a late hour. There is something for me to do all the time.
Feb. 5.-- The weather continues almost ideal. In a few days the mud will be gone. How pleasant
it is for the mud to be gone!
Today has been one of pleasure for me. My classes have been a delight. On every hand pleasure
has come my way.
After supper I visit the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Hartzog. Just recently they lost their only
child. They are immersed in grief. Our hearts go out to them in their distress. It is hard to comfort
them.
Feb. 6.-- We must record another fine day. It seems that summer is near at hand. In a short time
the buds will begin to swell.
Our work has been interesting. We drive on the best that we can. My most delightful hour is
reading in a Latin Testament. It makes a book vivid to read it in another language.
At night I attend a basket ball game between the Freshmen and the Sophmores [sic]. To say the
least it is a battle between giants. Many great deeds are done on both sides. The final outcome is
12 to 6 in favor of the Freshmen. Edwin Dougherty brought a hom. He did not fail to use it. A boy
loves a noise beyond measure.
Feb. 7.-- This is a fine day. In fact it is too good to last long. It is fine for this season of the year.
We do not need to wear our wraps.
In our school work we do well. Our classes seem to do good work. At times we find them a
little weak.
In the afternoon we go home. It does not take me long to make the trip. I am glad to get home.
It is a long time until night. I have several things to do.
At night I attend service at the Church. Rev. Mr. Sebastian is conducting a revival. There is a
large crowd present. By the time that this is over, I am tired enough to rest.
Uncle W. S. Farthing is with us. He is a welcome visitor with us. There is no better company
to have in a home.
Feb. 8.-- This is an active day for me. There is no time for rest. I am in Sunday School. We
have a large number. There is much interest. From this we have the preaching service. By the time
this is through I am tired enough to rest. I must look after company until it is time to return for night
service. The crowd is immense. There are more than can be seated. I am glad when it closes. I am
957
�too tired to rest well. I wish that I could get away from the crowd.
Feb. 9.-- This is a bad day. On every hand the bad weather greets us. It is rain, wind and fog.
It seems that we are in for a bad time. I wonder what is in store for us.
I come to Boone. I do some business and then I come to my room. I remain here all day. I try
to do much work, but I am too nervous to do the best. By some means I pull through the day and
work some at night. On every hand there is a job waiting for me.
Feb.10.-- The weather is much better than I expected. It has been a warm day. This temperature
will soon bring the fruit into danger.
In the schoolroom we have come on well. Our classes have done some work. I love to meet my
classes. I am hungry to help them. On every hand I find something to do. I do not have a minute
to idle.
At night I visit some of the boys in their rooms . I find many of them engaged in work. After all
the boys are excellent. There are not many rough necks. Of course boys are full of mischief, but
they are full of the best things of life. We must not forget that we were boys once.
Feb. 11.-- There are many things for us to record. The first is the rain that was falling when I
awoke. Just before no[o]n we have a severe hailstorm. The ground is covered. During the storm
there is thunder and lightning. The clouds break away and it seems that we are going to have some
pretty weather. By night another storm is on and soon we are having some snow. The wind is going
at a terrific speed.
The work of the day is over. On every hand there is work to do. We never get even. Something
is calling to us all the time. Mr. Rupe and I go to my home. At night we attend service at
Willowdale Baptist Church. This is the concluding service of the revival. Rev. Mr. Sebastian has
"The Last 130 Day for a theme. Seventeen people united with the church. After the service we return
to Boone. The wind is driving the snow at a terrific rate. We go to Mrs. Alice Cook's and spend
the night. We are glad that the return trip has been made.
Feb. 12.-- This is the roughest day of the season. There has been a terrible storm of wind with
some snow. Because the weather has been so warm, it is a little pinching. The sun shines. This is
a severe type of cold. It is a bad time to go from place to place.
I am out early. I dress and come to my boarding place. After a good breakfast I go to my room
to work. We have a very pleasant time. It is desirable to remain indoors. A man can take on more
work than he can do. It seems that I can get no relief in any way. Tonight I am in my room striving
to get even with my work.
Feb. 13.-- The weather is so much better today. The wind has ceased; the sun shines; the day
958
�A
J
Greene Diaries
is fine. There is one thing that we can look for; and, that is, bad weather.
Examinations commence today. This is a trying time for us . There are many thing[s] to be
looked into.
On every ha[n]d I find some things that call for my attention. I do not get time to do much
general reading.
In the afternoon the cooking class gives the faculty a dinner. This is a very happy occasion. I
believe that they call it a Valentine Party. We had much fun. In fact all who are present have a gay
time. By some means we desire more occasions like this one.
Feb. 14.-- The weather is much better today. The worst thing that we have is mud. On every
hand we have plenty of that.
The examinations are completed. This has been a long hard grind. I dread to have so many
papers on hand at once. This is the toughest part of a student's as well as the teacher's life.
In the afternoon I go home. I stop on the way and fix some legal papers. I certainly do enjoy
coming home once in a while.
Feb. 15.-- This is a bad day. The rain pours the greater part of the day. In fact it is too bad for
many to travel.
We have a good crowd at Sunday School. By some means our people are coming to the front.
We are having some interesting work in our community.
In the afternoon I visit some and read some. In fact it is one among the best Sundays that I have
had in a long time. I have managed to rest some.
Feb. 16.-- This is a busy day. I catch the mail and arrive in Boone before noon. I transact some
business. I come to my room and work the entire afternoon. I have many papers on my hands. It
is a difficult job to do all this paper work.
There is at night a game of basket ball between First Year High School and First Year College.
There seems to be much applause. It seems that we are giving too much attention to athletics and
not enough to real work.
Feb. 17.-- We have had several kinds of weather during the day. In the morning it is damp and
foggy. Next we have some rain. By night it is clear and cooler.
We start a new term of school. The interest is good. There are so many things for us to do.
Some new things are coming up all the time.
0. V. Wooseley, a Sunday School man, of the Methodist Church, makes a fine address at chapel.
In the afternoon I attend a meeting of the faculty. This is the first one that I have attended this
year. By some means these meetings bring us into closer touch with things.
At night we attend a Sunday school lecture at the Methodist Church. It was full of good common
sense. To say the least it was a fine presentation of the subject of Sunday School. The best thing
is the period of worship. We can make a botch of it, or we can use it for the highest good.
959
�Feb. 18.-- The weather is very fine. The sun shines. The air is cool enough to be pleasant. In
fact it is an ideal winter day.
There have been many things on hand. The most urgent matter is the reports. It seems that all
have an incentive to finish the job at the earliest possible moment. We have been very careless in
regard to being prompt in making reports.
The most interesting thing that I have observed recently is the variations in a person' s moods in
a single day. On every angle something new comes to us. During the first part of the day I am at
peace with all the world. In the afternoon I am nervous and am not able to stand the jar. There is
such a thing as a man working to the limit. A man's physical condition has much to do with his
disposition. The sick man is not able to advance the world.
