THE third raid onto Kentucky is now
being made. The first wuz the armed in
vashen Nv the State by Linkin's hirelins,
the second wuz the unconstooshnel abo-

mercial agent did try it twice within five
hours, but he paid the penalty Nv his rash
mis-. His onedicated bowels wuzn't ekal
to the emergency, and he become raven
mad, and took third-and died Well
do l remember the mournful occasion.
He lay doorin his fifteen minits of illnis

Deekin wuz helpless and ther wuz every

lease his mortgage onto 1t. Bascom glad

The ground sold 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, a creek run throo
1t, with fall NV perhaps 30 feet, the water
tumblin over the rocks, perpetyOoally, in
most ridiculous manner. The Deekin
sold 1t cheap, for water was never popler
at the Corners Wat Pollock wanted NV

wuz cleared up the next day.
Bascom, the Deekin and | wuz out look
in at peece NV land adloinin, when we
saw parcel Nv fellows there with survey
in instrumence, a measurin of the ground
and stickin little stakes all over 1t.
