There was little in such a household that sug gested books and papers or politics and religion. LIFE AND LITERATURE 93 On the plain board table which stood in the center of the best room there was a big family Bible with possibly a copy of Bunyan s Pilgrim s Progress by its side. From the joists were suspended bags of seed-corn, dried fruit, and great pods of red pepper; there was a great pine chest in the corner in which the best quilts and home-woven counterpanes were securely kept against th...e day when "company" came; over the door hung the rifle and by its side the powder horn which had done service at King s Mountain or even in the border wars of Scotland in behalf of Cameron or McDougal clans. Outside the house was the kennel with always two or three dogs which, added to the neighboring hounds, readily made a pack for a chase after fox or deer. The barns and stables were built of logs and were none too large or comfortable for the stock. Chickens, ducks, and pigs were always to be found and there was constant noise, now of one, now of the other, clucking, squawking, and squeal ing each according to its kind.
