Sarah Webb of Liberty, tells of a wedding she attended" "Yes'a, I was right there the Miss Janie married, and every little nigger on the place was settin' there. O' that was a great weddin' yes Ma'am. a great weddin! After she was married, I remember seeing her and Ms. Scott comes the steps. Mr. Henry, her father has a gin, and he had cotton begging' spread from the top of the steps on out too the table under the trees. Her feet never touched the ground. They had a grand dinner that day.
"You know they had plank fences in those days, Miss, and us little niggers were all lined up over the fence close to the table, and Miss Mary fed us through the cracks, and I ain't never like cheese and crackers since, I ate so much that day.
