The next game has variations without
end and extra verses ad nauseam. There
Is ring and kissing in it, just as there
are in most of the other games. 1t begins:
Oats, beans, peas and barley grows.
Oats, beans, peas and barley grows,
You nor | nor nobody knows
Where oats, beans, peas and barley grows
The English language bleeds and suf-
fers through all the verses, and rhythm
and prosody are tormented to the verge
of delirium tremens. The last stanza is
the noblest effort of them all, and con-
tains some good practical advice on the
marriage question::
Now you're married, you must obey,
You must be true TO all you say;
You must be kind, you must be good
And keep your wife in kindling wood.
"Green Gravel" is a rougher game.

Our granomothers played them In
short sleeved, short wasted muslin

ridiculous starched pantalets, and we
played them, those old singing games,
in side laced shoes and white stockings.
None of us knew where the games orig

They were in the air of childhood, and
we simply breathed them in. The end
OF the century children play them and
sing the very doggerels we used to sing,
but nobody knows where or when or
how they originated.
Sometimes the words are trifle unin-
telligible and the tune out of joint, with
accidentals thrown in just wherever
childish fancy indicates, but in the main
they're the old rhymes, the old songs,
and if you'd forget your manners and
your gown and join hands with the chill

He was down on his knees blowing the

fire shot ont of the stove into his face.
He fell back as limp as a wet newspaper.
The lightning tore all his clothing off,
with the exception of one boot and

through bis beard, across his breast and
down his leg, as though made by red
hot poker. / supposed he was as dead
as a doornail. His wife picked up o
large crock of milk that stood on the

and refrain as in the first stanza. The
knight replies, "My good will is to
marry" Again the line goes att eager

"You're all too black and dirty" The

"You're another" and sing, Were

ton of "spunk" pleases and mollifies the
knight, who sings, 1.-THE fairest one that
l can see is little Lucy-come TO me-"
Little Lucy skips over, and then two
knights come a-riding, and so the game
goes on till everybody is knight. OF

Here is the story Of the Farmer in the
Dell" lie is discovered in the ring-not
a prize ring or a whisky ring, but ring
of children who sing:
The farmer In the dell,

The farmer In the dell.
The farmer here chooses himself

"takes a wife" The wife then chooses
somebody, and the song announces
"the wife takes a child" The child
takes a turn at it, and as a third COM
pletes the trio the song continues, THE

and his family withdraw and join the
ring again. The dog by some unique
metamorphosis becomes the farmer in

The little ones have made playthings Of

CONTINENTAL MONEY.
Some Curious Relics Exhibited by Mr.. 1.
D. West.

Mr.. /. ID. West, of Sailors Rest,
walked into the LEAF. CHRONICLE
Office this morning and exhibited two
pieces of continental money that
were marked with age, notwith-
standing the fact that he had guarded
them we'll for something less than a
century. One was a $50 bill printed
in 1779 in Philadelphia by Hall Il
Sellars the other shin-plaster of
North Carolina, printed in 1776.
Mr.. West clings to old times, both
in his politics and dress. lie is just
as strong a wing as he was in 1914
when Henry Clay embodied his ideal
Of craftsmanship, and wears the old
time regulation jeans suit, brown at
that, with coat cut the Prince Albert
style. The cap that over-tops this
suit reminds one of the head
gear worn by the pioneers
Of civilization in this country. Mr..
West has been living near Sailors
Rest all his life, and relates some in
teresting incidents of the long ago
1t was this gentlemans grandfather
who gave to Sailors Rest its appel
alton. Geo. West, his grandfather,
was captain in the Revolutionary
war, commanding a man-of.War
throughout that eventful struggle.
AT the close of the war he took to
the merchant-marine trade and made
many voyages across the Atlantic.
He finally settled where Sailors Rest
now is and gave that place its name.
Thus the West family was planted in
the vicinity and were pioneers in the
development OF the mineral resources
of the Cumberland. When the bat
tie of Fort Donelson was fought l. ID,
West had just completed Sailors
Rest furnace, but the fall of that fort
put an end to his work.
Mr.. West relates with much en-
thusiasm his experiences. He says
he learned to read from the pages of
The GAINESVILLE Chronicle when he
was boy, and that the paper has
been coming to him regularly since.
He would rather do without his din
ner than to miss one issue.

A prominent Hopkins county

heads of tobacco at ClarksviIle and
on account of low prices rejected all
but four. On the following day he
offered a like lot of similar grades on

a satisfactory sale of every hogshead.
The prices were so much better that
he is thinking seriously of re.ship-
