ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

        Sincere appreciation is extended to Dr. Patrick Snadon for
serving as major adviser during my graduate studies and for providing
guidance and support for the research described in this thesis. The
author is also grateful for the encouragement and assistance provided
by Dr. E. Stanly Godbold and Dr. Michael Fazio.

        The author is also grateful for the assistance provided by
Margaret Green Rogers, Curator of the North East Mississippi Museum in
Corinth, Mississippi, and Mrs. Betty Conaway, Regional Librarian for
the North East Mississippi Regional Library, Corinth, Mississippi.

        Finally, a very special expression of appreciation is extended

have been possible.
