C.B. Arnette shares his memories of Murfreesboro.
[Rowland: "Tell me about the peddling wagon."] "Well, it was a wagon that was about twelve feet long. And it had a canvas top to the back of it. And this canvas also covered the seat on which we sat. Two of us could sit on that seat. And I can remember him [father] stopping. People would want to buy some meat. He would go around to the back, and he had a set of scales hanging in the wagon. And they would tell him how much they wanted and how much bone they wanted. [. . .] Yes, because a lot of them used soup bones in those days. And it turned out, in most cases, he gave them the soup bone if they would buy some meat." |
