These resolooshens wuz passed unan-
imously. Bascom insisted that there
snoold be no discushen, for discushen,
he remarkt, took time. and to him time
wuz money. While the Corners wuz
In the meetin house discussin the Cor
ners wazn't at his bar q drinkin, and
he despised discushen. The resoloo-
shens wuz all rite, anyhow, and so they
wuz adopted aud the meeting aid
journed,
went away from that meetin house
tollably well pleased. had got the
Corners committed to q line of polishy
which wood satisfy the people NV the
north. Them Republicans wich wuz
soured with rebublikism, but wich das-
sent trust us to keer for the niger,
coodent find no fault with these reso-
looshens, and mite safely trust them
selves with us on platform so broad
and comprehensive. To me the pros
pex NV the the the dimocrisy wuz never
so brite.
But my pleasure wuz NV short dura-
shun. While we wuz at Bascoms
takin soshel drink, Issaker Gavitt
saw passin Niger wagonmaker who
lives at the lower end Of the village.
"rhat viliin.i sed IssalSer, glitten
his teeth, "dunned ms for ten dollars
for repairs onto my wagon, yesterday,
and my father yoosed to own that My.
gerw
"Infamous y shouted they all IN ko-
rus.
"And only night afore lasst he'd
ham stolen from my smoke house,
which, am satisfied, that Niger must
have stolen"
wuz glad to hev that ham fastened
onto a niger, for had paid Bascom q
ham on akkOunt the mornin Issaker
missed it. It takes good financeerin
for me to live here.
BY this time the niger he'd got
home, but Issakeris rage wuz a bilin
feedishly.
~ am going to hev pay for that ham
out NV that niger p yelled Issaker
DRAWN his revolver,
''But the Niger is home and safe by 4
this Time" sed, hopin to stem the
tide NV his wrath and save ourselves,
'Iet it rest"
Never sed Issaker, "never! / lowe
q dooty to society. The Niger may be
home and out of reach, but there are
enuff Others layin around loose. Shell
niggers steal my hams aud 60 unpun-
ished?"
And Issaker sailed out, follered by
the entire Corners, They didn't find
the indivijile nigger that Issaker be-
lieTd slole his ham, but they found
brXhcr- in-law of hizzen, which Issaker
shot. at sight, but didn't quite kill him. !
The wretch he'd no more sense than to
stagger to his feet and seeze stun and
heeve 1t at Issaker. The crowd, Nv
cnnrse. cnndent stand any slch signs nv ]
