Ackcordinly at the the pointed time l
started out fur Delta an all the time l

a guviner looked like.
BY an by asked sumbody where the
gnviner was an where it was goin to
talk an tha sed it was down at the hotel
an that it was goin to talk in the sl.ule
house, Sd went down and peeked il the
hotel but didn't see nuthin in THAR
that looked like guviner. l woodent
ask anybody what guviner looked like
for tha mite thot that 1 dident know
nuthin. About oklock l went out
about the skule housc an / seen lite up
stares an went up to see if the gurlner
was up THAR yet but it wG.sent. went
in an set down al prcttie sure the honse
begun TO i'll up with people commiu to
hear the guyiaer talk.
Wheu the house was full Mister Cole

scd that the guviner wood now talk to

wap he talked that he thot kis party
was the only one that was any account
an that he WAS a pretty good guviner-
He tride to make the people think that
republicans an democrats was no good
on earth but so l guess he fur got that

ded an the people all latied like that thot
it was fuunp an laffed because the rest

thade laff after while if sumbody was to
sa the same thing about him.
He sed sumthin funny an the people
made such noise that tina shook old
