(of THE PRAIRIE BELIEF

lof THE PRAIRIE BELLE)
Wall, no can't tell what he lieyes,
Because hedon't live you see
BeastWayS, he's got out Of the habit
OF liyin' like you and me.
Whar have you been fog the last three year
That you haven't heard folks tell
How Jimmy Bludso passed In his checks,
The night OF the Prairie BELIEF
He warn't no sajnt-them engineers
Is all pretty much alike
One wife In Matches under the Hill
And another one here In Pike,
A keerless man in his talk was Jim,
And an awkward man In row.
But he never funked, and he never lied,
reckon he never known how.
And this was all the religion he had
To treat his engine well
Never be passed on the river;
To mind the pilot she'll;
Aud ifever the Prairie Belle took fire
a ihOusanA times he sWore,
He'd hold her nozzle agin the bank
Till the last soul got ashore;
All boats has their day on the Mlssissip,
And her day come at last
The Movaster was better boat,
But the Belle she wouldn't be passed,
And so she come tearin' along that night
The Oldest craft ON the line,
With q Niger squat on her safety valve,
And her furnace crammed, with rosin
and pine.
The fire burst outas she cleared the bar.
And burnt q hole in the night,
And quick as fash she turned and made
For the willer-bank on the right,
There was running and cursing, but jim
yelled out
over all the Internal roar,
"I'll hold her nozzle agin the bank
Till the last galoot's ashore"
Through the hot black breath of the burn.
ing boat
Jim Bluds0'S voice was heard,
And they all had trust in his cussedness,
And knowed he would keep his word,
And sure's your born, they all got off
Afore the smokestack fell
And Bludso's ghost went up alone
Iu the smoke Of Prairie Belle.
He wern't no saint-but at Judgment
I'd run my chance with Jim,
'Longside Of some pious gentleman
That wouldn't shake hands with him,
He seen his duty, dead sure thing
And went for It thar and then;
And Christ amt agoin' to be too hard
On man that died for men.

I One in a long while the name

a rlace was made for him in the c.

grave was visited by hundreds Of TIRE

it. No one of all the friends of Bur
was left who cared to mark the gri

Pecan Nuts and Trees,

q peck of very superior thin-shelltf
Pecan nuts, raised by his father, Ca.
Dodson, the wcll-known "host' D
the Dodson House, and postmastci o.
the before-named place.
The Pecan tree is the CdTyd oil o.

country-reaching the greatest size
and perfection in the rich, alluy ial
valleys of the Southwest. 1t Crews

and our principal supplies arr shipped
thence to the New Orleans market.
There are many sub-varieti9s of ,he
Pecan, varying much in size Al d tln2k-
ness Of shell. The Louisiana u in
shelled" are generally considered SUI
perior to the ordinary Texas Pee ms;
though the largest hard-shelled Iuts
we ever saw (measuring fully two
inches in length) were from the latter
State. We have several of these sun
varieties in cultivation; and we aru
glad to learn that Mr.. DOdson, ir,, is
setting out large grove of these very
profitable trees in Mobile county,
Ala, about twenty miles from PA ca
goula.
Many people are deferred tom
planting the Pecan from an erroni Gus
and absurd idea respecting the length
of time they will have to "Wait, Gas

into bearing" Intending to devote a
chapter to this matter hereafter we
will merely say, now, that the s0Oier
these and other trees are planted, aud
the more carefully they are cultivated
and tended, the speedier will ba the
fruition aud the reward. We OF the
Southwest have the rarest and most
tempting opportunities to engage in
many departments ofTural enterprise /;
and one Of tho most promising Which
now occurs TO US, is the planting of
large Pecan groves, which will grow
