ROADS (Wich is in the State Nv Ken
lucky }, Jooly 10, 1SS3.-Onless suthin
happens to save us, the old organi
zashen at the Corners is gone, and l
mite ez we'll dust out and seek pas
tiers fresh. The foundashens Nv the
CRATE deep is broken up, and there is
choice and miscellaneous assert
ment of hell ahoat.
Joe Bgler and Pollock got hold of
Issaker Gavitt, and in conjuLkshen
with his wife, whom i wish the devil
he'd, hev organized conspiracy that
bidsfair to transform the Corners
into Moo England village and leave
me out into the cold altogether.
1t is the same old trubble. Mrs.
Bascom wood wear her red silk stock
ms. and wood sport her moo silk
dresses.
She cooden't help it--no woman
kin. Give SIGH woman ez Mrs. Bas
com moo silk dress and RED stock
ms, and she wood wear EN- eff she
knowed she he'd to go to the stake the
next minnit. Female vanity is the
Spring NV woes unnumbered. Natu-
rally. the wiramin NV the Corners re-
belled, and Issaker Gavitt's wife de
veloped an amount of strategy wich
l never supposed any woman ever
he'd.
She compelled Issaker to stay at
home four days last week, ard not go
to Bascom's at al. We missed him
from his familiar seat, and Their wuz
gloom intensified. Bascom wuz
glowry, the good old Deacon wuz
sad, and Kernel M'Pelter murmured
suthin about chaos comm agin. Bas-
com remarkt that he shood lose the
art Nv waitin eff Issaker kept away
much longer.
Yesterday about IL A. NJ. ther cum
along in front Nv Bascom's perceshn
witch startled us. 1t consisted Nv a
wagon drawd by one mule. and into
it wuz Issaker Gavitt and hiS wife,
both with banners.
Mrs. Gavitt sot on the left side with
her dress pulled up onto her lap, so ez
to expose pair Nv legs half way up
to the knee, clad in pare NV red
stockins. with patent leather shoes on
the eend NV EN-, and she held in her
hand banner onto which wuz in
scribed these legends:
My husband hazn't bin to Bas-
CONS for four days. He hez chopped
cord wood and sold it. He hez
MIXED the cows and helpt me to
churn, and in them four days we hev
sold truck enuff to buy me these
shoes and stockins, with store carriers,
and him bid shirt. The stockings
amt silk, but eff he keeps away from
Bascom's two weeks longer l will hev
silk stockins and he will hev decent
SCOT NV cloze."
Issaker kerried a banner onto wich
wuz this:
"At home and at work four days.
A billed shirt for the first time sence
wuz married"
Ez the perceshn passed Bascom's
he tried to drop the banner and git
out, but his wife held him down in
his sect by the throat. He wuz kon-
kered and subdood.
The eff ok wuz electrickel. Every
woman in the Corners cum out to see
Issaker Gavitt's wife in stockins,
suthin that hedn't happened to her
for % years. The shoes excited EN-
to madnis, the red stockins made EN-
shreek, and when Joe Bigler jumped
into the wagon, and, ez of by axident
fiirted up her dress SO ez to show a
pare NV bloc elast G carriers, with
white metal buckles, they abslootly
howlcd. The wimmin NV the Cor
ners. not warm stockins ez rool,
don't hev no call for garters, and them
ez do hev alluz bin obleeged to con
tent themselves with tow string.
Mirandy Pogram saw the site, and
she rushed into the Bascom's and
took her venerable father out by the
ear.

mark, sis to go home and go to work.
Eff Issaker Gavitt kin in four days
furnish his wife with shoes and red
stockins by keepin out Nv Bascom's,
yco kin dress yoor dawter suthin like

And the good old Deekin moved
off regretfully toward his home.
Then Mrs. M'Pelter she cum rush
in in for the Kernel.

Gavitt he'd on! Red stockins and
shoes, and all earned in four days!

yoor a corpse. Wat Issaker Gavitt
hez done 700 kin do"
And then all the wimmin in the
Corners formed themselves into a
percesshun behint the wagon that Is
saker wuz drivin, and they marched
thro the Corners shoutin, ''Red stock
ms or no mealsr' 'Shoes wich but
ton or no grub" and SIGH incenjary
cries. And, wat wus wuss, they
formed gard and stood in front Of
Bascom's, and whenever one NV Their
husbands wanted to come in they
hustled him of, a committee bein ap-
pinted to worry his ears till he wuz
willin to go home.
It wuz dreary mite we he'd at Bas-
CONS. Their wuz nobody but him
and me, for no man in the Corners
