times gifts orful behind what's guine on. So
Hast week | sent my little gal tn Bolin
Green tn git som things for harvest, and
the store keeper raped EN- up in a newspa-
per what's got a orfuI big pictur on one end.
| onraped it carful without tearin the pic
Itur, and then SIGH a ronpus as the children
made about who would have it.. l couldn't
beside no how, but my wife who noes how
to beside childerns quarrels said l must
frame it. Well, as was gum tn tel you,
my wife she likes tn read tales, steam boat
accidents an such like, in newspapers, and
sot rite down tn see who was killed on the
boats. The first thing she begun tn read
was a letter from some Amos Petfog or
mother akin the people tn send him tn the
Legislator. SEES I who pom yeath is he
wife, haint that the same place where Squire.
Thompson, DR.. Snypes and Bill Jenkins said

been for that tarnel click what sed | mus mt
say notlIin til they fetched me out, and sure.
nough went and fotch out that old long Doc
ter. Says she let's send for Squire Thorn
son he can tel, and who this Amos Pitfrog
is tn.
Well, artcr a while Squire Thompson.
come and We three got together and read it
over and over agin. Well, ses the Squire.
| don't like this Amos no how. An you no
him Squire +? Yes, I've noed him this three
years. What sorter man is he ? Well he's
a good enough sorter young man bnt | don't
like him. Why, Squire, ef we old men e.
llect him it will Jest be the ruin owe all our
young inen, insted owe savin thar money like
us and watin til they get old before they
think Of SIGH things, you'hhave EN- like this
Amos Pritfrog, gwine tn school when they
ought tn be at work, and turnin out lawyers,
doctors, sehoolmasters, and setin them
selves up for the legislator as same as if
they had as much land and niggers as me
and you. What right kin poor men have
in the Legislator, I'd like tn know? they
haint got nothing to represent. Squire, ses|
|, don't you think we ought tn have a law
tn keep these poor men from bein elected n
Mr.. Stalk, SEES he, I've bin thinkin that
would be the very way to git you elected
we must git all them fellers tn withdraw
wha. amt poplar, and we'll jist bring you'll
out and write a letter and git sum names tut
it tn show that the people all want you
Then we kin show the people that you'vel
got more land than this Amos, and bin in
the county twice as long. And here he
|drawed his cher up close and whispered tut
something about gitin all the rich men
tn vote for me. So Mr.. Editor we Jest con-
cluded l was the man tn beat this Amos, and
eff the people will jist lect me | will try tn
make a law tn kesp all such poor people
out of the Legislator; and eff we can't get
this law | will try tn make a law tu keep
EN- from voting, and then we kin always
lect a rich man whats got something tn rep-I
Eff you publish this er letter please
tel the people, amt got no time to lection
Ger, and don't no how to make speeches no
how, but eff this Amos makes eny speech
Squire Thomson, DR.. Snypes and some
more Of EN- will answer him. -.
