their names.
Mr.. Oliver recalled. - From the time we
entered the house together- Arlington and
myself vas attending to my own bust
ness; passed him several times in the
house; saw him once in the dining room,
and in the dancing room; think I did not
SEE him up stairs before the fuss saw bim
dancing; don't remember W hat time it was
when I saw him dancing; that was about
one haitian hour before the fuss commenced;
I saw him more than once in the different
apartments of the house; Teeple and Gun
ningaam wele eating oysters after Bowder
called me in; they called for the landlord I
went to the door and showed them the d in-
ing room and told them their oysters wero
ready; they went away and were goRe A.
hour or an hour and a ahalfafterwards; when
they came back they said they knew how TO
act as gentlemen and they would do so from
that on tdld them rs long as they would do
so they could take part in the dance, believe
Teeple first made the apology, and Cunning
ham joined in also; this conversation took
pl zee 10 the sitting room there were other
pers rs present in the room don't think
either of them at this time were under the
influence OF Uquor Nuub uSuhlu uancen

once Teeple did not join in the dance that
/ saw Treple was sitting by the fire in the
sitting room when Canninhain was dancing;
saw him dance and play the violin; be play.
cd after dancing don't remember that any
person danced when he played; next saw
he hit me above the eye half rast eleven

going home late atnight during
the holidays under the influ-
ence of liquor, quietly entered
the house, not wishing to dis
turb his family, who had re-
tired. Being thirsty, he looked
around and found a glass of
water, which he drank. Now
the chileren had been playing
with the mothers work basket,
and accidentally dropped a ball
of thread in the tumbler, which
the tipsy gent gulped down
with the water. Accidently the
end remained outside, and the
gent, feeling something like a
hairin his mouth, gathered hold
of it to pull in out. He kept
pulling and the thread kept
coming, uutil the unfortunate
man became alarmed, and cal

Bill Simpsons Legal Experience,

Many years ago, the Legislature OF
Tennessee passed an act to organize
the county of McNairy, alias Snake,
At that time the country embraced in
the limits of Snake was occupied by a
sturdy set of backwoodsmen, totally
unaequainted with courts, jail, etc.
The county assembledat the appointed
site for the purpose of cutting logs,
making boards, ETC., to build court
house and Jail. The only theme of
daily conversation, when the men
were assembled, was the court, etc.
None of them had ever seen court in
session, as yet developed. Each one
would give what his idea was of a
court, etc.
None, however, were entirely salts
factory, until Bill Simpson was called
on to give his ideas. He said he knew
all about a court-that he had had a
lawsuit in North Carolina. One of his
neighbours hogs kept coming when he
fed his hogs until it got fat. One
morning he got so id mad that he
shot the hog. He thought it would
not do to throw it away, so he cleaned
and sailed it. Shortly after, his neigh
Dor and man came to his house, ex-
amined the smoke house, and took him
in alittle office. About three months
after that, this man came and took him
up to large room. A large man sat
upon high bench-a man was sitting
at desk-about dozen fine dressed
men sat in place that was paled
around. The man put me in pen
just behind them.
He then called in twelve men they
took seats in box in front Of the fine
dressed men. The man. that was writ
ing gave the twelve men book, and
said something about Bill Simpson and
State. Then one of the fine men read
something about Bill Simpson and the
hog, and he and another of the fine
dressed men had the biggest quarrel
you ever heard. ! thought they would
fight every minute, but they didn't
1t was Bill Simpson and the hog, and
the hog and Bill Simpson, and some
times Mr.. Simpson, but id seldom.
After they had quit quarreling, the big
man talked awhile to the twelve men,
and they went out and staid short
time. and came back and said some-
thing to the man at the desk. The
man on the bench said something to
the man who put me in Office, and he
took me out and tied me to persim-
mon tree, and commenced fighting me
with a cowhide, and it made me SO
ID mad that | shook all the persim-
mons off the tree Manchester Jour
nal.
