evening.
Brother Melvin, Jim and Rob hold
forth at the meetings. Sister Lou
takes care of the cold brothers, the
professor of mimicks takes care Of
that part of the business in the cor
ner and keeps all in good humor.
The professor can drive away the
blues any day in the year.
Jordan keeps the COWS well cor
nered. He says that the slider is
nowhere, when he whistles the COWS
are gone and all the mults in the
corner have to clear the way. They
we'll know that the band wagon is
coming.
1t would do the brother good that
lost his hat or his heart, [ do rot
know which, between the rivers, to
see the style of Jordan,s COWS as
they are drawing their loads across
the rizes Of Boiling Springs. He
would find a big difference between
them and the calf,
John guides the saw in the corner
and is as iovial a fellow as you would
wish to meet. Babe Tres the thing
and makes more noise than all the
rest, but he makes it SO. Pick and
Zeke makes the plank and slabs get
there. Tuck and Hen axes down
the pines, Austin carries off the
shavings in his apple wagon. The
'cussipg" part OF the business is
blank.
The king rides in his chariot and
looks after the affairs of the corner
while the preacher marlies the happy
couples and entertains the teacher,
the king pockets the dollars and
keeps them below the dashboard,
while others lose their hats and some
times fail to find them until next day.
JORDAN.
