"Savin Sukey" Mixed Up.


Zone of these new-fangled preachers
has been down through the Panther
Creek settlement here lately preachin
some mighty strange and pecurious
doctrines amongst the people," said
Aunt Nancy Newton to me the last
time she was up to our house. Then
the dear delightful old soul kept on
talSin:
The mainest pint that the new-fan-
gled preacher makes is that SATURDAY.
and not Sunday is the seventh dav in
the week-the day we ought to remem-
Der and keep it holy as the Sabbath.
1t rutter seems to me like he is Jest
leetle bit late in spreadin the news.
The folks down there are too dead sot
in their ways to spile out and start over
now. The men folks still go to town
and swap horses and drink whisky on
Saturday, and most everybody takes
day off and rigs up and goes to meetin
Sunday. We have been turuin the wa
ter on that way SO long till l reckon
the old mill wouldn't grind marry lick
If we was to pitch in and change things
now.
But the new-fangled preacher has
got SulSey Sellers-Savin Sukey, as we
all call her-powerful bad mixed and
muddled up in regards to her Sunday.
She won't say he is right and she won't
say he is wrong. I rally don't think she
knows anything for certain about it.
But she is SO slleered that the new-fan-
gled preacher is right and other people
wrong, or that other people are right
and the preacher is wrong, till bless
gracious she now keeps two Sabbath
days holy instid of one. She puts in
soon Saturday mornin and runs her
Sunday slap through till Monday morn
IN. Everybody to their own notion, as
one old woman said when she kissed a
COW, and if it suits Savin Sukey it is |
perfectly all right with me-"

According to Locatio2

The old woman leaned over the
tumbled down fence and called
sharply down the country road:
Here, you Edmund Lee, bring
your brothers and sisters ard pike
along home suddent! Hyar me?@
care they all yours, ma ann" asked
the horseman, as he hung up the
gourd dipper at the side of the road
side spring.
Eyes, sir; theyair," she said proudly,
''And that amt all"
"Don't you run short of names for
'em?'
mo, sir; there's just names to
plant when you use location names"
Location names. "How's that?"
"Well, when we lived down in Tur-
key creek valley and had lots of
Eeighbors, we named them after the
neighbors; that was when Edmund
Lee, Martha Lorick, Mary Huldan
and John Lewis was borned. Next
year we farmed at the springs wher'
they was lots of strangers, and that
was the year the twins come, Gus

The supreme courtwill undoubtedly

that county neither the populists nor
republicans certified their nominations
to the county auditor before the time

fcate. A bond election was held at
