Right" is the answer of another trader
with sway-backed, big-legged shadow
that couldn't chew a lump of mush.
"Come this way and swap for the gray
| older than 81. want to trade her. for
horse" And if such trade is made, in
three minutes the same man is shouting
proposition to trade that horse for mare
or mule.
Whips and spurs are in constant demand
to keep awake or induce stir among the
stacks of bones that wearily drag about on
exhibition, where every apology is made
for any defects that may be apparent. The
spavin-Iegged, hobbling skeleton of a
horse, it is explained, fell through a bridge
a few days previously and slightly injdred
his limb, but of course will be all right in
a day or two. The sweenied shadow is
tender-footed if bare, and pricked with a
| nail if shod, while some better looking
horse, doctored up for the occasion, but
which in all probability is not worth the
| club it would take to knock him in the
head, is represented to be hopelessly
afflicted with every disease that horsefesh
is heir to- By such representation the real
condition OF the horse is adroitly concealed
and ''go back" as they call it, for cheat
ing is estopped, because the horse was
represented to have every conceivable
complaint, though his appearance did not
| indicate it.
All sorts of jeers were thrown out with
the shouting banters that are heard every
where, such as, How'll you swap that
| racehorse for pinto of peannts?'' or ''How
much boot will you give between that
stump-sucker and bee course?''
These sallies are given good
and received in the same spirit. Horses
are exchanged for pocket-knives. pistols,
watches, sulkies dogs, anything. Last
Tuesday one man exchanged his horse for
a COW, and, saddling her up, he mounted
and rode around, bantering Others for a
trade, with as much complaisance as ever.
And there is another wonderful feature
about this business. Every boneyard
trader, when his dozen trades are made
and his days work finished, returns home
at night to brag OF what he has made
during the day. but the most astute
inancier would be greatly puzzled to
figure out his profits. ANY man, it would
seem, could discover the loss incident to
and growing out of his possessions.
But this is a brief account of business on
the boneyards of Carrollton on each re-

HORSE-SWAPPING IN GEORGIA.
A Lively Scene on the First Tuesday
of Each Month.


Did you ever attend a real first Tuesday
horse-swapper convention, and wade
around in the mud and listen to the swag-
ger and bluff INDUCED in by the devotees
OF the bcneyard? Did you never stand
around and listen to the hilarious greeting
to one another as they ride, drive, lead, !,
drag and God only knows how they do get
some of the rips into town? Did you never
take a survey of the limping, hating caval-
cade of four-for-a-penny stock, of which
you can never see one so bad but that an
other is worse, all drawn up on first Tues
days to be swapped? Then, dear reader,
you can tolerate brief pen picture of a
real horse-swappers' convention, where
liquid stimulants are required to give CAB
as well as cheek to the trader. Judgment
is not SO much required, as there is hardly
bare possibility of loss in any trans
action that may occur.
