when the fervid hot weather come on
he let loose. he did, and turned the
whole business into tremendous big
hay farm.
You mus: recollect that julie Majors
is tho most cutdoinest man for foolin
with hggers in all this skirt OF the
woods. And from what has come to pass
this year the general stage Of the
weather las got somethin to do with the
way the 6ggers run for julie.
1T was way along there In June, the
crops was comm monstrous slow and the
grass was CROWN to beat six bits" says
julie in givin out his experience with
figgers II went down on the creek ono
day to plow out little cut of swamp
corn, which the grass was then . whole
lot higher and greener than the corn. l
plowed three or four rounds and by that
time, you understand, the sun hit Was
comm down 1t the rates OF hundred
miles . mihnit and as hot as the hinges
on tho lower gates. Presently l drove
out in the shade Of big beech tree. un-
booked the traces and went into little
figuratiOn whilst was restin. soon fig
gered it out that there was more money
in hay than could make outen scent
cotton and corn At 10 cents bushel.
Naturally, Of course, I took out and quit
right then and there, turned my mule
in the paster, and by granny, Refe,
haven't stuck a plow nor bent Z hoe
from that day to this. But you can see
with your own eyes that have got the
Ko.t builicst crop of hay that was ever
growed in the Rocky Creek settlement.
II the weather want 50 scandlous hot
would be cuttin of it right now. bu' OWN
to the general circumference Of thu sur
roundins I will have to wait 70: it to
break up and cool off,"
No longer than yesterday mo:nin ]
saw julie Nabors ridin along BY my
house with his stake-and-ri.ered
shirt on, polin of down in the Flat
woods to take in another big m etin.
In the mainline his hay crop Ii ripo
and ready and waitin for the harvest.
Tho September gale is more than prob
able to como along next, and tina: will
be the last Of julie Majors and his fine
hay crop.
But julie won't give continental for
that. II you will only give him cad
pencil and piece Of paper it fon't
take him more than fifteen minus at
the longest 10 fgger it out his wa and
then ] reckon he could show you TIA. it
pays better to take in big meetins and
60 squirrel huntin than to pull hay
whilst the weather is 90 scandlous hot
Got His Man Out.
The gonebyest best lawyer that has
ever took q case in these parts is man
by the name OF Web Dargin. No doubts
but what you could 20 to the city and
find plenty of lawyers with moro sense
and book learnin than him, but wher
it comes to pullin his man out OF q bad
scrape whether or no, Squire Daniel
Webster Dargin is the stun.
They worked up big law case in the
Justice Court over at the Cross Eoade
one day last week, which Tobe Fuller
stood charged with stealth OF hog.
Web Dargin was there to take up Tobe's
side OF the fight, and he read law books
and speechified for three hours on a
stretch. But it was dead open and
shut case, and all the law books and
speeches in creation couldn't clear Tobe.
Whereas he WAS bound over and locked
up in tho callaboose.
But that worry night-way along in the
still and solemn hours. as it were-Web
Dargin took crow-bar and went down
to the callaboose, you understand, and
made slip-gap at ono corner and got
Tobe out. When the prisoner made hi.
escape he hit the grit and bit it .
movin. and the next day Web he went
over to Tobe's house with papers OF
complement and levellcd on three
acres of corn and ono spotted stcer for
his fees and costs in the case.
Web Dargin is nothing but piney-
woods runt, without any book learnin
to speak Of you understand. but il he
can hold out At his present lick he will
soon be famous IS = lawyer. Sense and
book learnin are good enough and all
right for common, but with jam-up,
all-around lawyer in this present day
and generation the mainest thing is
nerve.
