Boys Playing a Game of Marbles

When they had time from working at the cotton mill, the boys played game such as marbles. The boy shooting the marble, Henry Dedman, a warper at the mill had worked in Salisbury for five years. The warp is the lengthwise yarn in a loom. His grandmother told Hine that “I don’t like to have ‘em play marbles on Sunday, but when can they play?" "Yes he stands the mill work pretty well. Early getting' up is the makin' of 'em."
