Here comes a cotton wagon anticipa-
ting % cts. There comes a big saw-log
bound tor North Culleoka-I forgot, it
shonld be the big mill at Pleasant Grove.
/ had forgot that Pleasant Grove was not |
even village, and why I called it North |
CSHeoka must have beon that Pleasant
Grove was so minute that overlooked
ID. However, it will be large and may
be town as big as CuileOka some of
these days. 1t isgetting most time for
me to stop, but there is one place would
like to say something about, the "Culleo-
ka Hotes." They say it is a rather nice |
house to go to, II am not responsible for |
thatl. Heresav evidence won't do in the |
Now ifI go on and say |
that won't suit that old one |
WHO ruus the machine-but no, he don't |
RIM it, the good lady runs the shebang. |
Run it indeed, why the old thing charges
his wife for everything she buys from
his store and makes her pay it, and bor>
rows her money that she gets from her |
boarders, and don't pay it back to her,
the old thing. She ought to. make him
pay his board and give her bonus of |
several hundred to eat at the table with |
the white boarders But la, what have |
said? 1t is just a lapsus lingui as the |
Latin scholars have it. Take care little |
bird, you might as well get into the mid |
die of yellow jackets nest as to wake |
him up-better go a little slow, but as 1 |
don't see him among this very nice |
crowd, land sure enough he has no bust
ness here with this examination) i will |
touch him up q little farther 1 say old |
fellow, come around, amt he catching it |
Just now. How would like to leave the |
marks ofmy ten fingers on his ugly face.
It would do me so much good to pull his |
hair and hear him holler! Would / not |
dance and jump for joy? Now the coed,
clever folks at this examination won't |
tell him know, what have said, they
think too much of their little bird to tell |
On her. Well, will go on and touch |
him with the spur again-but my good |
ness, there he is coming! Guess i had
better change the tune, or nice little
bird about the size of myself will find the
spur on the wrong foot, SO now adieu,
adieu, and believe me your
LITTLE BIRD.
