For the Cadiz Democratic Sentinel.
FrIhow READERs:-It is with much reluc-
tance that again have to notice an article that
appeared in public print few weeks since, sign.
ed if not written by the little governor of Mt !
Nebo-that same little lovely creature that re-
sides ON the pinnacle of Mt. Misery-that same
little Jimmy on the Hill that has spread his
fame and established character moral in its
nature, by riding his old grey mare bare backed
from his own office kept in the basement story
of the large frame buildings in the town of Mt |
Nebo to the town Of Cadiz, then and there to
employ some person that has as little to do as
Jimmy to pen his articles. Sympathy for his
friends forbids my giving the name of Jimmy. s
clerk although his appearance and movements
is sufficient to recommend him as q competent
clerk to Jimmy and all who may wish to en-
ploy, But o, Jimmy, you modest, lovely and
talented little creature, for your own credit
hereafter, authorize your clerk to sign his own
name, and not claim the honor of another mans
labor. With all the ingenuity that is attached
to you and your old grey mare, you cannot de-
ceive the people. All creation that has had the
pleasure to behold your lovely face can at first
glance read your compository faculties-vou
cannot deceive the most ignorant of your ac-
quaintances. But we leave this to them to de-
eide.
But in honor to my beloved friend. Jimmy, l
cannot avoid doing him all the justice he in his
wild and simple career deserves, by saying he is
Q generous hearted and benevolent creature,
and never fails to boast of his generosity, as the
sequel wrl show in the lst End and 3rd vol
HTAes Of his history. lie repeats and rt-rcpeats
that he endorsed for me in bank, which would
be folly for me to deny. But | shall end the
banking story by giving full detail Of the affair."
Some time in the month of September last, |
and my partner were conversing about the pro-
priety ofpurchasing lot of fat sheep and this
same little Jimmy was present The question
was asked whether a note could be discounted
at that time, as we would need a balance Of
funds to complete our purchase. Our noble
hearted Jimmy offered his services to endorse
without the slightest invitation believing that
| it would have tendency to elevate him to have
his name enrolled with civilized men. We,
through sympathy, granted him the privilege,
notwithstanding we were surrounded by host
OF better men at our command. | will leave
my readers to decide whether that noble and
generous hearted creature has made display
OF talent in his boast, or whether it indicates
soft and tender place on the back part of the
little governors head. However the purchase
was made, and the money got and paid out the
following day, which proves a wiIfll and ma
licious ialsehOod made and put in circulation
without shadow of foundation, by that same
moral creature that seeks the foremost pe9 in
the church and nppermost seat in the paror,
all because he has clothed the naked and fed
the hungry, and endorsed note in bank; and
then asks himself the question, "am not wor-
thy man"' and answers it himself in the aiiir-
native.
But, 0, little Jimmy, might not in lieu of
your generous act, boast that shortly after you
conferred that favor on me, | through sympathy
and good feeling towards you, prevented you
from heavy prosecution? But will not.
AS an economical specGlator Jimmy is unsur-
passed. His generosity and bonovolence; the
world knows no better. He makes large do
nations to religious denominations; He contr-
butes to the poor in all cases whenever it comes
under his knowledge. His morality, usefulness
and benevolence has even led the tender heart
ed crittcr to endorse in bank circumstance al
most unknown to human nature. Jimmy is
brave and mighty man-one long to be rclnem-
bercd. \ short history of his life would be
read with pleasure by his surrounding acquain-
tanceS, and handed down to second and third
generation for years after the hero has sank be-
meath the clodS OF the valley, and marble mon
ument erected over his grave. His adventures
and bravery would far surpass Il Washington, Il
Bonaparte or even a Putnam.
In honor to this hero we deem it necessary
to give a short sketch Of the life and adventures
of this great and mighty man: Jilnmy says he
was born in the cid couRtry; his age he cannot
tell. lie was brought across the big water I'M
der the care orhis parents. They discovering
a peculiar instinct in the little hero, set about to
watch his motion, believing that he would be
the man fany that would some day conquer
the world and reign triumphant ever all nations
Nothing occurred worthy ofnotice until he had
arrived at the age of II, when his blayei and
hcroism appeared Sufficient to protect his per-
son. And behold he was etlooso. lie imme-
diately equipped himself with bow ard arrow,
and started on an exploring expedition fron the
house to the spring; and behold he discovered
small skunk that he in his imagination sup
posed to be black bear or some other erocious
beast, he arrayed himself for battle. The signal
was given and the battle commenced. He to't
bled, died and conquered the enemy without the
loss of a man.
Shortly after this glorious victory he began to
consider hmselfa fit subject for courtship.--
He procured himself long tailed drab coat
with huge pockets in each side, gave orders to
the family to bake four large corn cakes against
a certain day. which he deposited two in each
pocket placed upon his head a large bell crown
hat, and started to see his lovely. But a few
minutes had elapsed until he was seated snuglv
by comfortable fire, such as is generally found
in log cabin. The inmates of the house began
to prepare Some refreshment and the little hero,
as usual, was invited to partake, to which he
politely begged to be excused, on account nfhav-
ing brought cakes in his pocket; but said he, if
you have no objection will sop them in your
pan. The lady with smile on hercountenance,
granted him the privilege. He snugly seated
himself on the broad henrth stone, surrounding
| the pan with his legs to prevent the cats from
their share, feasted sumptuously on his corn
dodgers, while the family took tea. Shortly
after the hero CHANGED to be married to another
lady.
| Shortly after being located in the region of
country where he now resides, he concluded to
explore the country in search of game With
his axe on his shoulder. and large barlow
knife by his side, he bade his family an Affection
ate farewell, and started, whistling yankee doo-
die. The circumstances attending this remar-
kaole coon hunt is well known; and will not
therefore trouble my readers with its history.
Suffice it to say, that Jimmy came off second
best.
My readers will discover that this is but a
