Nv course, did.
The horn wuz tootid. and the entire
/ Corners wUz assembled, eggscepting the
| IllinOy store keeper who didn't attend to
| Us much. / stated briefly and elokently

heered His Serene Highness, Androo the
/ 1, ell the way from Washinton to Louis
| Eillel and asked the brethren to ease
/ their minds.
Squire Gavitt he'd observed the progress
Nv them niggers with the most profound .
! est alarm. He he'd noticed EN- comm to
| the Corners dressed better nor his family
/ dressed, and sellin the prOdux Nv their
land to that wretch
At this point the Illinoy store keeper
come in, and the squire proceeded.
-he shood say Mr.. Pollock, and he he'd
made inquiries and found that one family
he'd sold three hundred and seVenty-fiVe
dollars worth nv truck this season, Nv
which they he'd laid out for clothes and
books two hundred dollars, leavin EN-
one hundred and seVenty-fYe dollars In
cash, which was more money than he he'd
made sense the accursed Liukin passed
the emancipashen proclamation. And
what had driv the iron into his soul wuz
the fact that Wun Ofthem niggers wuE his
niger, The money they hev, pursood
the Squire, " is my money, that man worth
3 4AAs
her children my children"
That's a literal fact" shouted Joe
Bigler, drunken returned Confederate
soljer; they heV yOor nose egesactly,
and they're the meanest yaller brats in
the settlement"
This unhappy remark endid in a site
unpleasantness, wich RESULTED In the
/ Squire's bein carried out minus one ear,
and his nose smashed. Joseph remarked

| he wouldn't lend him half-dOllar two
months ago. He was now satisfied, and
/ hoped this little episode Woodn't mar the
/ harmony Nv the meetin
/ Elder Smathers observed that he he'd
notist with pain that them niggurs alluz
/ he'd money, and alluz dresst we'll, while
/ We. their sOoperiors, he'd no money and
/ nothin to boast Nv In the way OV close
/ He would say
Pollock the Illinoy store-keeper put
in. Eff the Elder wood work ez them mig
gers WuZ WOrkin, and not loaf over half
the time at BascOm's grocery, he mite
possibly hev hull SCOT Of close, aud now
and then dollar In money. 1t wuz here
ez it Wuz in all strikly Dimekratic com
munities, the grocery keepers absorb all
/ the hOatin capital, and
/ He wuz not allowed to proceed. Bas-
com flung a chair at him, and four or five
L
/ carried out for dead. Bascom remarked
/ that he wuz for the utmost freedom Of
speech, but IN the discussion Of a CRATE
eOnstOOshnel question no IllinOy ablish-
mist shOod put in his yaWp. The patriotic
remark Wuz cheered, but when Bascom
ask't the whole meetin out to drink, the
| applause Wuz uproarious BascOm alluZ
gets applause-he knows how to move an
audience.
Deekin Pogram sed he'd bore with
| them niggers till his patience was gin
out. He endOored it till last Sunday
After service he felt pensive, ruther, and
walked out towards GarretstOWn, medita-
tin as he went on the sermon he he'd lis
tened to that mornin on the necessity Of
the spread of the GOspil. Mournin IN
| sperit over the condition of the heather,
he didn't notis where he wuz till he found
himself In the niger settlement, and IN
front Nv one Nv their houses. There he
saw site which paralyzed him. There
WuZ a niger which Wunst was his niger,
Wich Linkin deprived him Nv, settin un-
der his porch, and a profanin the Holy
Bible by teachin his child to read it ! Kin
this be endoOred the Deekin asked.
Deekin Parkins sed he must bear his
unworthy testimony agin these disturbers.
They had, he knowed whereof be spoke,
hired female woman from Massachu-
setts to teach their children ! He he'd bin
in their skOol-rOom and with his own
| eyes witnest it.
Baseom, the grocery keeper had bin
shocked at their conduct. he Wuz con
vinct that a nigger Wuz beast. They
come to the corners to sell the produX Of
their lands-dO they leave their money at
his bar Nary They spend sum Nv it
at the store Nv a disOrganizer from Llli-
dOy, who is here interferin with the biznis
of Froo 2oufhapn man b7f ha he'd v1nUnr
seed one Nv 'em inside his door. He he'd
no pashence with EN-, and believe lthin
sbood be done to rid the community Nv
sich yoOseless inhabitance. Ef they ever
git votes they'r agin US. No man who
lodges my bar ever votes straight Dim
Ocrisy.
Ginral Punt moved that this meetin do
to wunst proceed to the settlement and
clean em out. They WuZ a repEeach to
Kentucky. Of course. ez they were
heathens and saVages, sieh goods ez they
he'd wood fall to the righteous, Nv whom
we Wuz which, aud he insisted upon a
fair divide. All he wanted wuz bureau
and a set Nv chairs he had seen.
The motion Wuz amendid to mcleod
| Pollock, the IllinOy stOre-keeper, and 1t
Wuz to Wunst acted upon.
Pollock WuZ reconstructed first. Filled
with zeal for the right, his door wuz bus
It'd in, and in jiffy the goods wioh he
Wuz a cOntamlnatln our people with, WUz
| distributed among the people, each takin
| sich ez sOOtd em. Wuu man sejestid that
ez they Wuz made by Yankees, and bro't
South by Yankees, that there Wuz con-
| taminashen in the touch Nv EN-, and that
they be burned, but he wuz hoOtid down,
our people seein a distinction. The con-
taminashen Wuz In payin for em-gittin
EN- gTatOoitusly took the cuss off.
Elated, the crowd started for the settle
naent / never saw more zeal manifested.
A half hour brought us there, and then
a scene ensoOd which filed me with joy
0nspeeksble The niggers Wuz routed
out and their goods Wuz bundled after
EN-. The Bibles and Rkool- books wuz de-
stroyed first, coz we he'd no use for EN- !;
their chairs, tables and bureaus, clothin
and beddin wUz distributed. A woman
he'd the impudence to beg for sUthin she
/ fancied, when the righteous zeal of my
next door neighbor, Pettus, billed over,
and he struck her. Her husband, for
gettin his color, struck Pettus and the
outrage WuE completed. A NIGER HE'D
RAISED HIS HAND AGIN A WHITE MAN
The insulted Caucashen blood riz, and
/ in less than q mint the bodies Nv six
male Ethiopians wuz . danglin in the air
and the bodies Of six Ethiopian Wimin
wuz Iayiu prostrate on the earth The
children Wuz spared, for they wuz still
young, and not havin been taught to read
so far that they could not forget it ef kept
| carefully from books, they kin be brought
up IN the proper speeF, ez servauce to
| their brethren. (By the way the inspired
/ writer must heV yOOsed this word breth-
ren In this connection fgeratiVely. The
| niger bein a beast cannot be our brother.)
