Ispeciments, a heapove brokin glass,a cork,
"a sprinkil owe whiskey,a squt an three owe
my Lizards flew permiskusly all over tina
ar meetin ground, euten the upper end Owe
them big bax britches. Wun owe the
smartest over my blue Lizards lit he'd fust
inter the bussum owe a fat oman, as bic
as a skinned boss, and nigh onto as ugly,
who sot thirty yards off a fanni in herself
with a turkey tail, an smart tn the last,
hit commenced runnin down."
So she wur bound to faint, an di i il
lfust rate, jist flung her lucky tail up in tn
ar, and rolled down the hill, tangled her
legs an carriers in the top ola hnckilberry
bush an war thar all, fair an quiet when
left.
Now old Bullin had nuthin on him but
"a par Of hevy low quarted shoes; short
poIin socks an eel skin carriers. tn keep Of
the cramps, an his skare wur growing on
him fast. He war plum crazy, for he jist
lspit in his hands an leaped over the front
uv the pulpit rite inter the middle w the
lpius part of the k~ongregashun, kerdi0, an
sot intur getting away. He run, or rether
went in a lunlberin' gallop, hevy, like an
lole wagon boss, skared at a locomotive
When he jumped a bunch he shook the
yearth, an his SET too. Bunnets an fans
clared the way, an had a perfectly fair
track to the woods. He weighed nigl on
to three hundred, he'd a black stripe dowa
his back like onto an old brille rein, an
his belly looked about the size an cutler
nv a big beef paunch; ant hit a shakin
from side to side. He leaned back frun
it like a little Teller a totin' nv a big drum
at muster, an / hearn it slosh plum to
wltar | wur. There wur cramp knots OF
his legs as big as %walnuts, an all over he
minded me Nv a crazy ole elephant what
war possessed Nv the devil, with hits years,
isnout an tushas sawed of, an a rared u,
an a goin' on his hind legs away from I'M
mediate ;rubble an tribuIation. He did
the loudest an s~cariest an f~usSiest run
min | ever seen since dad raced with
j.he hornets, to be no faster than it war.
Well, he disappeared in the thicket, an
NV all the Kisses you ever hearn it wui
thar in a cirkle of two hundred feet ar thar
abouts-sum wimmen sereaming-they
vas the skery wuns; sum lsfin' they was
he wicked wans; sum cryin' they was the
fool oncs, (sorter on the Lovengood strlpe);
sum trying to cit away an hide thar faces.
they wus the modest wuns; sum lo3kin'
larter ole Da!lia, they wus the curious
wuas; sum h&3a:afto thas .-ows, they wus
the sweet vans, sum on thar knees with
thar eyes shot, but y ar faces turned the
way the old muiturkil was a r%ann:n, they
was the deceitful WINS; sum dom nothing,
they wis the waitin' wuns, and the most
dangerous NV all NV them by a dlrnei
long site. | tuck a big skecr myself, arter
ia bi6ii about as big as a brick, a discipline.
aud a book called IA kataplasn, Il few rocks
and SIGH like fruit shattered onto the pal
pit nigh on to my bed, and as the Lovan-
goods, durn en-! knows nothin' but to run
when they get shared, | just put towards
the swamps on the kirk. As l started {
black bottil NV boldface smashed against q
tree fornist me. Sum burned fool perfes.
sor dun this, who had more zeal thar
I%sence; fur I sag that any man who'd
waste a quart of good whiskey fur the
chaucd nv knockin' a poor devil like ms
down with it, if the bo,til was worth nuth
in, isn't as smart as ole squire Mackmul
lin, and he shot bis self with a hoe handil
and bit warnt loaded at that. Well, yo'
know, George, | orter run fast-just look
at these legs-I used them sum atweef
that meeting ground and the swamp q;
they haint kotched me yet.
Ole barbelly Bullin, las they call him
since his tribulation with the hell sarpints
haint preched but wunst, and then h
hadn't an oomon tn her i'm. His tex WIS
ssnakid | com into this wurld an I'm going
ont on it the same way eff I'm spared til
then" I told him twas a powerful sar-
mint-il wur hearn threei miles. He
proved that nakidness warn't much artel
all eff would take the right view NV tia
Ithing-that hell sarpints Nv all sizes WIS
skeery, cold, and trubilsum-that It warn
TO be expected Nv him, a poor, weak, frai
wun of the dust, to the sarpint or lIzzaro
proof elther-tnat one Silall sdIPtH1 w
the tribe Nv milcizidick ruinated a worlt
through an ooman-while he wur beset
with a barril full on en-. An sixteenth.
) and finally that Sutty Lovengood is th'
biggest raskil, fool, and skarekrow eve
hatehed IN the mountain range.
Now, George, that all be SO, but ] wan
sIyou to tell old Grownbog this for NEE
