The third raid onto Kentucky is now
being made. The first wus the armed
inveashen NV the State by hINKN's
hirelins, the second wus the uncon-
stooshnel abolishn NV slavery, and the
third developed herself yesterday.
Some time sence BAsooM wus pres
sed for means to make payment onto
lot Nv whiskey He is rich, but be
seldom hez money, ex he sells almost
entirely on credit. Strangers never
take but one drink Nv his likker, wich
makes their paternage, wich is cash,
very lite. One Moo York commercial
agent did try it twice within FIVE hours,
but he paid the penalty Nv his rashnis.
His onedicated bowels wuzn't ekal to
| the emergency, and be become rayin
mad, and took a third-and died .
Well do remember the mournful oe-
casion. H lay doorin his fifteen min
its NV illnis in my offs, and died there.
For several weeks / he'd clean shirts
and money to pay board with, though
his sample case .woodent sell for moth
ing. BAsooM took it for trife, and
the shirts likewise. He gifts everything
portable that comes here. Peace to
the Moo Workers. ashes-I drop briny
tear to his memory. --l.1-r
To return. BAscoM he'd to hev
ready money, and he comes down
crooelo Deekin PoGRAM, his heftiest
debtor The Deekin wus helpless and
ther wuz every appearance NV dead
lock at the Corners, At this juncture
in steps Pollock, with an offer to buy
certin peace NV land the Deekin he'd
pervided Bascom would releese his
mortgage unto it. BAsooM gladly ac-
ceeded and the transachen wuz con
summated
The ground sould, by the deekin he'd
no valyoo. The soil wuz worthlis for
it he'd bin planted to tobacker for a
skore Nv years, and beside this, creek
run throo it, with fall NV perhaps 80
feet, the water tumblin over the rocks,
perpetyooally, in ia most ridiculous
manner. The Deekin sold it cheap,
for water was never popler at the Cor
ners. Wat POLLOCK wanted NV it we
coodent understand but the mystery
WIZ cleared up the next day.
BAscoM, the Deekin and / wuz out
lookin at a peeee NV land edjoinin,
when we saw parcel NV fellows there
with surveyin instrumence, a measurin
off the ground and stickin little stakes
all over it.

Deekin.
