The Lucases-Uncle Hiram and all Of
his folks-come over that time and
spent Christmas with US, which it also
come to pass in them days that me and
Andy want nothin more than a rough
and tumble team of yearlin boys. On
Christmas Eve all the men folks and
boys went to town to lay in the general
necessaries for good time. Now Uncle
Hiram he was way yonder the most out
doinest man for runnin with the boys
you ever read about, and he took me
and Andy around town and fixed US up
right. He pitched in and bought us
whole passle of stuff for fancy eatin,
and firecrackers and torpedoes and raw
powder and the like of that till we had
materials enough to keep up a steady
line OF firing and alarm the settlement
for three days.
Then we went on home, the most hap
piest pair of boys that ever left track
in all them regions perhaps. And of all
the shootin in the history of Panther
Creek we had it right then and there
that night. We went out in the back
yard and built up big fire and turned
loose and shook the earth and painted
the sky red. Presently Joe Nick
Stringer and Will Tom Pickens and
John Andrew Milligan they heard the
monstrous fuss and confusionment and
come over to jine in with US. By-and-
by when the fire-crackers and things
played out we took and bored hole in
big oak tree so we could fill it full of
powder and stop her up and tech her off
and let her go with a mighty roar. We
kept up tho fun and didn't cease firm
till about midnight, and there amt no
tellin for certain when we would of took

himself into right bad scrape. When
gun he didn't move his washin quick
enough, and consequentially the stopper
blowed out and hit him on his left hand
and knocked three of his fingers out of
whack. We then adjourned the meetin
for that night
The next day all the boys got to-
gether and tbrowed in dogs TIL we had
thirteen in the pack, and we went rab-
bit huntin till dinner. After dinner we
didn't do nothin much but loll around
the house and hang out by the
fire and wait for the dinner to settle.
White people, when l got through with
the Christmas dinner, and put all the
fancy trimmins on it, didn't see how
could git hongry any more inside OF

And the boys feel gay and deviliSh
With new spring boards in their heels;
And the girls they look so temptin
You mOught hug one on the spot
