"Nuthin tall, stranger. I'm a-takin

Half an hour later arrived at cross
roads where there was a general store,
and man sat ON the platform, tinker

two or three others were buying powder
and shot inside.
"Is there going to be a shooting match
around here today?" 1 asked the store
keeper as he weighed out my cheese and
crackers.
Reckon not. Leastwise 1 haven't
heard of anything of the sort. The folks
is jest gettin ready fur the farmers pic
mic at Glen Cove tomorrer.
/ didn't feel like going into particu-
lars Just yet, but at O'Clock, when l
stopped at comfortable looking cabin
to make some inquiries about the road
and found an old man oiling mp an army
carbine and his son molding bullets for
an old fashioned revolver, l asked:
