noon
`` Oh , le ' 's bring 'em ourselves ! '' insisted Asia , who had been to a church social . So a raid was made on the neighborhood , and every available chair borrowed and ranged against the parlor wall . By noon the boys reported most of the tickets sold , and Mrs. Wiggs received the funds , which amounted to six dollars . It being a holiday , everybody was glad to come to the dance , especially as the proceeds were to help little Miss Hazy . At one time there threatened to be trouble about the music ; some wanted Uncle Tom , the old negro who usually fiddled at the dances , and others preferred to patronize home talent and have Jake Schultz , whose accordion could be heard at all hours in the Cabbage Patch . Mrs. Wiggs effected a compromise .
