silver blouse set in the show case and in

other store, and paid 81 90 for it, and
even bought it in a dry goods store, be-

through Blev that one Of the dcacons
Of Bark Log church had a rough and

had been movin along smooth and
peaceable enough till they got down
there to Caney Branch swamp. By thi'
time, vou understand, the steers had
got good and hot and leg-weary, and
soon as they caught sight Of the cool
and refreshin waters Of Caney Branel
they curled their tails and reached
their backs and quit the road and tori
of down through the swamp at fasi
and furious lick. Blev he jumped ths
game and lit out right then and there
but Josiah froze to the ropes and fol

acres Of canebrakes and bamboo bHfars
and he was still with em when the!
went down into the water. In makii
