But, nigh as l ken guess,
They amt a-going t. be no man
A.comin' after Bess.
There's old Sam Rakestraw's cross
eyed son
Come round here purity Free
Conc city things like him amt men
Ner never'll git t. be

So # he comes one time more,
l think he'll be the goin' fool"
A.sailin throu the door.
But Bess's want the only piece;
They wuz eight others, too;
'Cept one, they wuz high-fyin'
things,
Too fine fer me and you.
That one wus bout the sunfower,
An how yo' take the seed
An how it's jest the stuff t. take
An use fer chicken-feed.
That one wuz with a.listenin' at;
1t l'arned me suthin' noo,-
Bout how Z save my corn an oats,
An have good chickens too.
The others talked o. "books in
BROOKS"
An "childhsod's happy land"
An some the things they talked
about
I couldn't understand.
An then kind o. 'spicioned like
That, if they'll wait an see,
They'll talk lots different bout some
things
When they git old as me.
Now, Bess, she he'd the cndin' piece,
An when she quit her fuss
An talk about "The Comm Man"
She turned her back t. US,
An lit in talkin' t. the class
Like she wuz goin' t. die,
Err, leastwise, leave 'em fer awhile (;
It almost made 'em cry.
It's Jest the most peculiar thing
What made her go on so!
They amt a one o. that there class
That's goin' = leave, know,
Mess it's that Jim Wilson's gal
She's goin', so they say,
IT. work fer Andy Griffiin's wife,
Jest seven miles away.
But, then, they amt no use'n me
A-takin things to heart;
The class is all at jest that age
T. think they's mighty smart.
An things is changin' fast now days
But these commencingments
WuE surely got up by man
What lacked heap o. sense.
