Spesial Dispatch to The Newa.
A &H GROVE. Jan. 1 .- Recalling how serenaders, in the Ozarks during the years soon after the Civil war. welcomed an Incoming year by making the rounda of farm houses in their vicinity on horseback, sing- Ing and firing guns, Mr. and Mrs E. G. Waddell celebrated their 53rd wedding anniversary at their home here.
They have 13 grandchildren. Thetr sons and daughters are: Arthur X, Waddell of Chilocco, Okla .; Mrs. 8. B. Tarbet, Kansas City: Cyrus M. Waddell, St. Joseph, Mo .: Mrs. L. W. Wyrick, Ash Grove: Lawrence Wad- dell, Tulsa. Okla., and Mrs. George T. Miller of Mutual, Okla. A. Y Wad- dell is head nurseryman and orchard- list at the Indian Agricultural School at Chilocco
Cyrus was a teacher In the Philip- pines for eight years, and Is now In the reliway mail service at the 8t. Jogepti terminal Mrs. Wyrick, who is |
the mother of triplets. keeps house taaches a rural school, taking the three eight-year-old bors along with her. and raises purebred :urkers 85. a hobby.
E G Waddell has spent much of his life in Greene county Maxout near the place where he Got Mies He was. however. a resident of laney county for several years He served as assessor of that county. and also as judge of the county court. For 30 years or more he was clerk of the school district in which he lives. The task of keeping the recorda of the district has been performed by . member of Waddell'a family for at least 65 years. Hla father. his older brother. hc. and since his recent resignation, his soninlaw. L. W. Wy- nick. have performed the service. In addition, he has served as justice of the peace, and was federal census taker for three consecutive terms.
Waddell, who was once a teacher of vocal music, tells of an Interesting New Year's custom which was ob- served In some parts of the Ozarks soon after the Civil war. A group of men, chiefly young, and nearly nil farmers, started out on New Year's rw on horseback to make the rounds ot the farmhouses of their com- munity, serenading, and firing a New Year's salute wherever that was per- mitted. They would often prelude their chief performance with Instru- mental music, and always with a
song or chant in which they asked permission to fire the weapons they carried.
--
TELLS OF OLD OZARKS CUSTOM
Ou allgliting from their horses mi front of a house, the first move was for someone to grusp the door handle. as the householder was not to be .. Howed to appear or to see his sere- unders until he had been serenaded. the next thing was the salutation: "Hello, Mr. Soandso, hello! We wish ou a happy New Year, you and your wie and your children and all that "rc with you in this house!" Then Time # Father lengthy song . .!!! in which the unal lines ulter per - mission to shoot had been granted. were as follows:
"Here we stand upon tom land Willt guns and pistols all ini hald licre we stand before your door-
You shall hear the powder roar! The old year's gone. the new your's come.
So now for luck well fire a gun."
+ The rhymes were imperfect. the (une was somewhat monotonous, but the heartiness of the salute and the good feeling back of it made this method of celebrating the new year a neighborly as well as a picturesque
When perhaps two or three rounds ! had been fred, the master of the . house usually Invited the sercuuders lu, and apples, nuts, cider or other refreshments were passed around. Possibly there was cake or ple and coffee, for many hospitable persons prepared for The berenaders before- hand. Perhaps a few more songs were sung, or the fiddlera played some old- tushloned tunes, but the serenaders did not stay long at one place. The host at the last place often becuinc orth of the party as they rode on to
hopa and where the custom orle- und. "hod whether it was by any i 3.paral over the Ozarks, no | to know. It has been dis- Mtinved Yofor 40 years or rer ..
Istronger that rider c:
i- offered by way of re-
freshment. Waddell deciales the cavalcade disbanded and all went home in the dawn, all continued per- Iretly "c:vil". well-behaved. though also full of life and Safety.
