stove wood, hickory nuts, smilax, holly and green turnips.
In the book To Kill A Mockingbird, Mr. Cunningham pays Atticus with hickory nuts and other items. Mr. Cunningham is very poor and has to pay by giving goods rather than money to Atticus.
Mr. Cunningham was embarrassed because he couldn't afford to pay Atticus in cash, so he chose to repay him with what he had - food from his farm. This made him feel humbled and inadequate, as he valued his pride and felt indebted to Atticus for his legal services.
Mr. Cunningham left a sack of walnuts in payment for some legal services Atticus had performed for him, because he had no money.
In Chapter 2 of "To Kill a Mockingbird," Mr. Cunningham pays Atticus with a sack of hickory nuts instead of money for his legal services. This shows Mr. Cunningham's respect for Atticus and his family, as he knows that Atticus is willing to help those who may not be able to afford his services.
When Atticus says Mr. Cunningham has blind spots, he means that Mr. Cunningham may have good qualities but also holds biased or flawed beliefs. In this case, he is referring to Mr. Cunningham's participation in the mob that came to harm Tom Robinson, despite his earlier display of kindness towards Atticus.
Atticus reminded Mr. Cunningham of their shared history and humanity. He appealed to Mr. Cunningham's sense of decency and individuality, encouraging him to think as an individual rather than as part of a mob. This personal connection and appeal to his conscience caused Mr. Cunningham to disperse the mob and think differently about the situation.
Atticus says he allowed Mr. Cunningham to sit on the jury because Cunningham was a good man. Atticus also explained that women couldn't be on the jury because they're too frail, and would probably ask too many questions.

Atticus says he allowed Mr. Cunningham to sit on the jury because Cunningham was a good man. Atticus also explained that women couldn't be on the jury because they're too frail, and would probably ask too many questions.
I think he means that Mr. Cunningham is a good person but has his flaws and imperfection like everyone else.
Mr. Cunningham gives Atticus stove wood, hickory nuts, smilax, holly, and green turnips.This is because Cunninghams NEVER take something that they cannot repay. (Even though this rule is broken when his son goes to the Finch's house for lunch) Mr. Cunningham felt guilty; he felt obliged to pay them back. But, he couldn't pay it in money, so he payed with vegetables and other things grown on his farm.I think with sacks of potato's on his back step and other vegetables from his farm.
Atticus was basically saying that Mr. Cunningham belonged to a group of people who valued their integrity and principles above all else. By calling them a "set breed of man," Atticus was acknowledging their strong sense of honor and decency. In other words, Mr. Cunningham was a good guy who stood by his beliefs, even if it meant going against the norm.
