IOT eNuytn1hS, an tueu
William Henery he he'd jest set his heart
on it, and ses he to me, "Hester Ann,
they amt not another purson here to
the Corners tact kin write letter emmy
ways near ycR, fur you always know
everything that's agom on, an then you
tell it 80 wen, an the schoolmarm she
ses @that's what"
Our schoolmarm is q dretful proper
spoken gal I must say. An that's what
I tole Angelina Biles the other day,
but Angelina she ups and ses. "Mis
Scooper, I don't reprove of ennybudy q
usin . slang languish, SEE she, IAN
you know jest as well as I do, Mis-
Scooper, that that gal do use an awful
site of slang"
"Now, see here, Angeline," sesI, I'D
Jest like to know what you know
about it, sesI I. "Now, tibet dear blessed
lamb of . gal hes bin stayin at my
house nigh onto o year, an guess I
know more about it than you do. An
must say tibet she is smart gal an
noes what's what. Why, Angelina
ses ], cher granmother come from Bos-
ting, an You know the Bosting folks
noes thing or too" ses I; "some of
my forefathers come from there, an I
reckon I ought to know if ennybody
does" An I jest give her to under
stan that I want goin to listen to
ennything retrodental to the school
marin, an not take it up, an Angelina
she went off in a huff; but, law me,
she'll be as frenzy as pie next time I
see her.
I was over to Jonathan Blodgers'
yesterday to see the twins, an my o!
you'd thinkthey wus the fust an the
last twins tibet was ever agoin to be
created, Jonathan is that tickled over
EN-. Sairy Jane-she is Jonathan's
wife-her maiden name wus Sairy Jane
Timkins, an rite likely gal sha wus,
too, an she makes rite good wife-my
boy, John James, he used to think
Sairy was all the gal in the world, but
he found out different when he met
Martha Raymon, SO he married her
sted Of Sairy. But as I wus sayin,
Mr.. Edituf, Sairy Jane is gittin along
rite peart, an thinks shell be up doin
her own work in o week more.
Well, an while I wus over to Sairy
James, Susanner Hopper she comes in,
an she tole us tibet Susan Roper, she
tibet wus Susan Giles. an he'd to work
out fur Twin till she married Squire
Roper's son Peter, an now she is so
fine she keeps hired gal all the time
to do the work iur her. But, as I wus
q goin to say, Susanner she sed that
Mis- Roper had got herself spick an
span new black ridin cote, an now,
Mr.. Editur, what in the world does
Susan want with cote to ride? I
spose she has herd they was the stile,
but laws tibet cote wa never horned
tibet could carry Susan on ais back.
An she, I mean Susanner, tole us
thet ole Zeke Jackson was maxim q
fortune out of some kline of lard tibet
he made out of ded colera hogs. I al
ways new old Zeke was mean, but I
I never thought he wus so weekid.
Oh, yes I come neer furgettin to tell
you tibet George Trumbul an Sman-
tina Cruthers hes made up their fuss,
an looks es though ther wus goin to
be weddin at the Corners.
The N1idder Van Dykes little gal is
awful sick with the infamaroomy tory
ism. You know the widder-she as
got mad at the schoolmarm, cause the
schoolmarm cut her out with Jerry
Wilmer, and wouldn't let her little gal
go to school at the Corners emmy more,
but sent her over to Sackville. an she,
little Emmy, wus TUX sick over thar.
Susanner was tellin me the strait
story of the fuss that the Parsonses an
Cronks are havin. You see the Par
senses turkey fouls went over to
Cronxs, an they Parsenses couldn't
keep EN- to home, an now the Cronks
want hat of EN- fur the keepin, an they
are havin an awful time.
Susanner tole me hull lot more, but
must quit an darn William Henery's
socks, for he is plumb sock barfutted.
Yourn fur knews,
HESTER ANN ScooPER.
