It is important, then, for the reader to remember that when Mr. Ryman uses the present tense he is speak- ing of Dallas it was in the 1880’, not as it is in 1937.) According to general belief, no good could come out of the Nazareth which was Dallas. Not only Dallas, but everything connected with it was the subject of jeers and by-words for all the rest of the country around, and. respectable peo- ple were almost put to shame by letting the place of their abode be known in some of the neighboring towns: “He is from Dallas” was the usual and every day observation whenever a drunken brute or extra- ordinary awkward and uncouth person appeared on the streets of Wilkes-Barre. No one would question the truth of such a re- mark, and with probably a majority of the citizens it was the first thought. was so bad that everything disreputable was laid at its doors. FIGHTERS REDEEM THEMSELVES Prior to the Great Civil War of 1861-65 Dallas folk were constantly forced to defend their com- munity. I will not attempt to say that it did not merit a portion of its unsavory reputation, but since then I claim that no community could do more to redeem itself. At the very breaking out of the war the rough fighting element of Dallas was among the first to join the many true and brave men who went out from here in defense of the Union. Many of those who were commonly known as the fighters in Dallas were only so when drunk. When sober they were peaceable and law abiding citizens. When drunk they were eager to fight their weight in wildcats.” WAR CURED THEM The ware cured all that. A few of them lived to come back with the remnants, but they were sober, serious and earnest men now. They had seen enough of fighting and wanted to get back to the plow. From then until now Dallas has been as peaceful and law abiding as could be desired by the most exacting. In contrast to the brawls which prevailed before the Civil War, I can speak of the old “apple cuts” in a lighter vein. They were never sanguinary or brutal, as far as 1 can learn. On the contrary, they were generally occasions of great merriment. It has been truly said that a country is poor .in- deed when it is so poor that dried apples become a luxury. Before the days of creap sugar and canned fruits, dried apples and cider apple sauce, the lat- ter made of apples boiled to a pulp in cider, were luxuries and necessities both in many places besides Dallas. Apples were always abundant and cheap in Dal las. In fact, when the forests were cleared away. apple trees are found to spring up spontaneously in some places, and only need a little trimming and protection to become good orchards. This fact was accounted for to the writer by the owner of one such orchard as.follows: He said a good many people had marveled at the natural growth of his orchard, and had asked him how he could account deal of thought. I never could be satisfied, like always keep at them until I cipher them out. Now, most folks, just to sit down and take things as they come, without trying to understand them, and I you see it’s just like this about these apple trees. Some day or other, possibly millions of years ago, this whole country was overflowed by the ocean. Thats plin enough to any man who takes the trouble to think about these things. Well, right about over here somewhere there has been a ship- wreck some day, and a ship load of apples has sunk right here and these apple trees have sprung from the seeds. You know a seed will keep a great while and then grow. OLD-FASHIONED APPLE CUT The work of paring the apples and removing the cores for an ordinary family’s winter supply of dried apples and apple butter, before the days of machines for that purpose, was a task of no little magnitude. All had to be done by hand. Well, as sometimes happened, many bushels had to be so treated. It was a task that would have occupied the working portion of an ordinary family several days and thus much of the fruit would, from long keeping, have lost its value for cider appliance by becoming stale and partly dried. For this reason there seemed almost a necessity for calling in help sufficient to do the required amount of work in a very short period of time. The apple cut solved this difhculty successfully. When a family had once determined on having an applecut, it was given out to the nearest neigh- bors, and from them it spread of its own accord for miles around. Those who heard of it could go if they chose to. No Special invitations were re- quired. The apple cut was an evening festivity and was most prevalent just after buckwheat thrashing when the nights were cool and the roads not very muddy. I am told that in after years it began to be considered “bad form” to go to an apple cut without special invitation, but apple cuts were degenerating then, and they died soon after when the apple parer in its present improved form was introduced. VERY INFORMAL AFFAIR The old fashioned apple cut was a very informal affair. Each guest upon arrival was expected to take a plate and knife, select a seat and some apples an begin work without disturbing anyone else. The “Cut” usually lasted for an hour or two. Twenty or thirty people could, and did usually, accomplish a good deal in that time in the way of work, as well as say and do a great many of the commonplace things that countrypeople ordinarily indulge in when thus congenially thrown together.
