CHAPTER III.

tHAIlEh III,
And now in the 18th of the month Of the
then current year there assembled together
at the great city which is called Mounds,
the men whom our lord Daniel had secured,
and after much talk, Joseph, who is called
Fatty was called to preside over the coun-
sel of men whom my Lord Daniel had
brought and after much palsver, some OF
the men that my Lord Daniel hao bought
we're selected 10 go to the city of Cairo
which is the grea, city of Egypt, and cast
the vote of the men whom my Lord Dan
| icl had bought, for Young, who IS callod
Judge, that he might go to the city OF
Washington TO lay plans for his next cleo
tion, aud get many sheckles from our good
Uncle Samuel. But my Lord Daniel be-
ing very cunning, privately instructed the
men he had bought, and sent them to the
treat city of Cairo, that before the meeting
in the great city OF Cairo, that Young whose
name is Judge would sure deliver the
county of Williamson to him, my
Lord Daniel, and that therefore, they
need not heed those public
instruction but could sell out 10 the highest
bidder, and there was the fourth fraud worse
than the other three. So endcth the third
chapter of the book of chronicles.
CHAPTER ".
And now on the 18th Of the 9Th month
of the then current year, there assembled
at Cairo the great city of Egypt, many
men of Egypt, and among them the men
that my Lord Daniel had bought; some
with meal; some with bacon, and some
with hard tack. One of the leaders OF the
men of my Lord Daniel, that was
from Pulaski was one Patrick the
farmer Now Patrick had been
influenced by cheap land Now Patrick
honestly tried TO carry out the instruction
that the men of Pulaski, which my Lord
Daniel had bought, gave to him, and a
score of other men that were with him in
the city of Cairo the great city OF all
Egypt, but the other men to the number of
| four had their thumbs to their noses
and cried out ave have found a better
customer one Damron; who has more
shekels fgold aud shekes Of silver; more
bonds and bank credit than Young the
Judge, and he also wants 70 60 to Washing
ton As for Young who is called Judge, he
shall not 90 to the great city of Washing
ington, but shall return 10 Williamson a
poorer if not wiser man.
And, there were yet other men who as.
pred to 90 to the great city Of Washington,
but they had neither gold nor silver, nor
bonds, nor bank credits, and the men Of
Egypt that were gathered at Cairo with the
men from Pulaski that my Lord Daniel
had bought, stuck their tongues in their
cheeks and made mouths at them, and
told them they would have none of them
and they went their way in sorrow and grief
And there was yet another great captain
whose sirname was Thomas, Now this great
captain had dwet many days at the great
city which is called Washington, and had
drawn many shekles Of gold ana of sill
yer from our uncle Samuel and had laid
well his plans to be returned 10 the grea,
city again, The men Of Egypt that were
gathered at Cairo with the men from Pu
laski that my Lord Daniel had bought
were very cunning, AS soon as man'
money was gone they dropped him unit
only two remained, that is Damron, the
Judge, and the captain srnamed Thomas
And then the battle began with success
Just IN reach of Damron A few dollars more
and he will surely 90 to the great city
called Washington. In the next hour vcto
ry seems to hover over the banner of the cap
tain and his exhauste d champions mus
havea few more shekles. Thus through day
and sleeplcss nights victory hung, first W 1T
one side, and then with the other, unit
Damron. who is the judge, dropped out
, and returned to johnson in the land o
/, Egypt pale, haggard, only the ghost o
what he was his shecklcs of gold AM
+ silver, his bond and bank credit gone will
, none to pity, how hard the fate, none ca
, tell but him that has been through the
. mill.
; The captain whose sirname is Thomas
I returned to the great city, but not yet vic
; tor lous. Shall not tell in another chap
!, ter why the captain whose sirname is Thorn
, as, is not certain Of remaining in the grea
9 city which is called Washington. So end
| eth the fourth chapter Of this book.
