how he got it. He never win it and he
didn't find it, but whilst up there seein
of the sights he metup with man from
somewheres over in Georgy, which he
was a rank blank stranger to old man
Shade.
"My friend, says the man from
Georgy soon as eyer he clapped his

"Well, naturally of course, old man
Shade he took the money.SsHe couldn't

Fresh From the Hill Country

Andy he had went on trip some
where's over in the hill country to see if
he couldn't lay claims to some stray
hegs, and in the main time he had been
"a havln a little fun with one of the
boys" On his return back home he rid
by to give me the general facts in the
case before the news could leak out in
the settlement
"Listen to man what knows the road
and has covered all the ground and
travelled all the gaits, Rufe," says Andy
as he laid one finger alongside of his
nose. Don't you never start off to
take no long trips ridin of blamed old
mule by the name of Beck without good
tobacco and plenty of it in your
breeches. That's what's the matter
with your side partner this evenin.

wantin tobacco so bad till | was spittin

mile further on met up with pale,
sickly-lookin, tallowfaced boy drivin
one OK and goin to mill. He looked to
me like boy as mought maybe use to-
bacco, SO popped the question to him.
But he lowed he didn't use it, and

If you don't use tobacco you ought to

down the road | saw a yaller niger

now, thinks to myself, thank the Lord

Bill, and then brought up the great and
CROWN question of tobacco with him.

Some News From Panther Creek.


Aunt Nancy Newton driv by one day
last week on her return back home from.
Bunk Weatherford's She tarried and
remained over long enough to take a
social family smoke with me, and when
she went away she left big bundle of
news from down on Panther Creek.
"rhe folks in our settlement are
mostly God-fearin people, Rufus" says
the dear delightful old soul between
the puffs of blue smoke from her pipe,
''and they are multiplyin and replen-
ishin the earth accordin. Right along
in durin of the last three weeks thirteen
new babies have come into our midst to
face the trials and troubles and tribu-
lations of this vain and fieetin world, as
it were. Misses triekland-Dunk's wife
she was the first one to show down,
and as you and Bley and Andy would
say, she helt a pair of jacks, which is to
say, two boys. Next come John An
drew Newton's wife-Sallie Strfnger as
she use to be-and she likewise also
laid down pair, but they was queens,
you understand, two girls. That's four.
Then Will Tom Pickense's wife-Rose-
bud Buekalew that use to be-and she
jest naturally took the rag and pulled
up the bush by comm across with three
at one trip-two boys and girl. That's
seven. Well then, first one of the
neighbors and then another had log
rollins at their house till there was five
more babies in the settlement. And
that's thirteen.
''They are all mighty poor down there,
Rufus, in regards to this worlds goods.
But they don't mean no harm by that,
and they walk upright and blameless
in the commandments as best they can.
If it want for the children all the good
ness in the human race would soon wash
out anyhow, and whilst l aint in that
branch of the business, it makes my old
heart glad to see the earth multiplied
and replenished reglar and frequent.
whats past help pin should be past
weepin, as the old sayin runs, but do
wish in my soul the whole thirteen was
mine and l could live long enough to
see 'em all grown and married and set
tied off in thirteen different homes"
