The Boys and the Bee. Gum.

One of our most popular preachers
tells "rich one" on some of the boys
who @wore the gray" "one of whom he
was which," While CHARTERED in North
Mississippi they attempted to open me-
gotiations with stingy farmer for the
purchase of bee-gum. He refused to
sell the honey, whereupon the boys in
formed him in chivalrous and SOL
dierly way that they were going to
have the bee-gum anyway, but pre-
ferred to pay for it. He still refused
and defied them to show their heads
about the premises ut night. The
boys, bent on having the honey despite
the threats of the old "tight-fst." went
back in the night, and following the
direction of their leader, took the
heaviest gum they could find in the
yard, having to carry it @turn about"
and wade creek before they reached
the distributing point. and Just as they
were budding around in breathless
suspense, anxiously awaiting with
watery mouths their midnight repast
on Samson's favorite dish, what was
their chagrin on the one hand and sup
pressed laughter on the other, as one
of their number struck q light" and
they beheld before them a large gum
of ashes, which they had mistaken for
a bee-gum. = Walker County (Ga.)
