one that you wanted SO bad. He
thought the world of it, for it held q
quart and was the handiest thing 1
ever seed. Wall, it's no more, for Tom
got into shootin' fracas the other day.
and the flask was broke all to pieces.
We boys picked up the pieces and
looked at 'em sadly, but it want no
use, fur the flask was done broke.
That very mornin' Andy Gilchrist of
fered Tom seventy-five cents for it, but
it didn't bulge him; but ! reckon if he
had knowed what was going to happen
he would have tuck it. Somehow we
all felt like something was going to
happen, an we crowded around Tom
an told him to sell it, that in this world
of uncertainties some misfortune mout
come prancing along an overtake it;
but no, headstrong, like all the mem
bers of his family, he wouldn't take it,
and now that beautiful flask is broken
into thousand pieces. Thar amt no
news in this neighborhood. Game is
sca'ce and the fish won't bite. Uncle
Caleb Brown fell often the spring house
yistiday an broke his neck. He was a
good old man an mighty fine Judge
of ticker. | forgot to state that Tom
Potter was killed at the same time the
flask was broke. Give my love to all,
