  1. While many of the old passtime have passed away there still lives on in my locality the old toys that our fore-father made and played with them. Some of these are bow-arrows, kites, stilts, stittles, and many other things. Long ago they most play that our mother had was rounders and kites. The most play that our father's had was stilts and bow-arrows.
