when the Afghans at Bourke had a festival lately, they killed a number of sheep and bullocks, and distributed meat, tea, sugar and flour among those gentry. It would have surprised you to see how many proud mean whites rolled up to take the black manâs bounty. A number of white families are living on the Afghan now, and taking the scraps from their camps. Every Sunday night some of the womenkind of Bourke (high and low) come to see the Afghans dancing and enjoying themselves. A carrierâs wife here has been employed for some time past making calico suits for them at 3s per suit, they finding materials. The other day a local publicanâs wife offered to do them for 2s. The mean Afghans would not accept the offer.
