Many could read, and in almost every,cabin was a Bible. In one was a prayer-book, kept by one of the men, a preacher,from which he read the marriage ceremonyat the weddings. This man opened a nightschool - charging twenty-five cents a week - hoping to create some literary thirst in therising generation, whose members, however,preferred their nightly frolics to the school,so it had few patrons.
