cry appearance NV dcd lock ut the Cor
ncrs.
At this juncturc, in steps Pollock,
with an offer to buy Il scrtin Icecc of
land the Decllin he'd, provided Bascum
would release his mortgage on it.
Bascum gladly acceded, and the tram
action wuz consummated.
The ground sold by the Decllin he'd
no valyoo. The soil was worthless, for
ii he'd been planted to tobacko for about
a sllo~e of years, and besides this creek
run throo it, with fall of 80 feet, the
water tumhlcs over the rocks perpetual
~.
The Deekin sold ii cheep, for water
was never very popular at the Corners.
Wat Police wanted Nv it we coodcnt
understand, but the mystery was clecrcd
up the next day
Bascum, the Deekin, and | wuz out
loolkin at peece NV land ajoinin, when
we saw a parcel NV fellows there with
surveying instruments, a measurin off
the ground, and stickin lttl stakes all
over it.
"What are you doin here?" askt the
Deekin.
"Fixin the sight NV factory" re-
marlkt the boss, without talin his eye
off the instrument.
"What ~ shrecked the Deellin.
"Fixin the site of n factry-a cotton
iactry."
"Wher is you from ?" askt the Deeliin
in agony.
"From Massachusetts, replied the
black coated fiend, ez coolly cz if he wuz
in Boston.
"From Massachusetts, y shreelt the
Deekin, faintin.
Bascum and me wuz more decided.
Our line of acshen was decided upon in
q mint.
"Sif!n said wc;" this cannot be per-
mitted One spot in Kentucky sh I'll
alluz remain sakred from the contamin
ashen NV Massachusetts,. We will hev
no hordes Nv fanatics in this spot, max
in cotton cloth, and bringing here Ly-
ceums, common skools, debatin socie-
ties, and preachin. We will hev here
nun NV that. We don't want to see this
Arcajen spot turned into a place NV req
idence for factory girls; in short, we
won't hev it,"
The Teller made no answer, but went
on stickin stakes into the ground.
will you desist?o askt |.
" Not anyu returned he.
Bascom,o sed I, "arouz the sitizens.
It's now nine o'clock, and by this time
they are all at the grocery. Haste
Bascom haste! The danger is imminet
and our akshen must be vigorous"
Bascom started, and in less than TWEEN
ty minits there wuz hundred NV our
people on the ground. The surveyor
wuz overpowered, the stakes were torn
up, and the party given iist an hour tn
) git out NV the visinity, with the asshOor-
ance that eff they showd ther faces ther
agin they wood be interdoost to tar end
: fethers, eff we he'd to sacrifice every
goose in the Corners,
This summary preceedin endld the
matter. That mite these vandals left
: the Corners, and we saw EN- no more.
When 1 think over wat we hev es
kaped, 1 fell thankful. Good Hevins
To think NV an invashen NV Moo Eng
landers! TO think Nv Their bein in
these peasful presinks foor or five HUI

and laborers, and machinists, all Nv en-
l opposed to our habits, and all wv en-
bent upon, maxim society c 81 f.naa tt
survive SIGH an invashen? How Ions
would it be before Pennibacker and Nc
peter wood hev to turn their distillerie
: into flouIin mills, and how long Good
, hold the Post Offs, even though Dem
e ocrat wuz President? Them people
take papers and write and receive let
tiers, and the oils wood then be no sine
coor. Ez these things passed in my
5 mind wept grateful tears at our escape
The party went over to Garretstown
l witch is on the same creek, with jist e.
much of fall in it, and the nigger
there give EN- land enuff for their pur
e poses, and the factory is to be established
there. They are altogether too near TO
, comfort, but we kin stand it. The mig
gers are too strong to be interfered with
: but we shell take good care that tn
