Amt it plum marvelsome what a

of free silver? Now as for me, don't
try to make out like 1 know anything
about it, and | have now come to the
conclusion that the common run of pco-
pie know as much about it as do, and
Lucas and Blew Scroggins know about
the Lords prayer: Blew and Andy got
into little red hot private disrutation
on that pint oncst upon time.
"You don't even know the Lords
prayer, Blew" says Andy.
"Who, me?" says Blev. "Of course I
know it. learnt that q my mothers

"Bet you q dollar you can't say it off

Il will take that bet and win on a
dead certainty" says Blev, and they
put the money up.
Now go ahead, Blew, and let me hear
you say it, says Andy.
Then Blew he stared off with that
beautiful little trundle-bed racket:
Now lay me down to sleep,

Hold on right there, Blev," says
Andy. Il give it up. The money is
yours and you can take it, but by gait

With Ills ColOra On.

Col. Sandy Wickenton runs the post
office over on Hucklcberry Ridge. But
be took few days off last week and
went over in Tennessee to see the big
show which the newspapers are tellin
about.
1t come to pass that l met up with
Sandy over at the station that day when
he took the cars for Tennessee. From
his general experiments it would seem
like he had been maxim special prepare
tons for the trip. He was considera-
bly, off considerable before he ever got
off on the trip, you understand. He
was talkin mighty loud with his mouth
and spittin cotton right and left. He
had United States flags and blue bun
tin and red streamers on till you
couldn't see his coat, and his face
looked like a Fourth o July torch
light procession. On his back he
wore piece Of pasteboard as big as a
saddle blanket, with these words
printed there:
"If it don't get to Nashville inside Of
three days please send it back to Hucl1-
leberry Ridge"

Down at fuckers mill on the Fourth
of July we had shootin match for beef
and along with the rest old man Lige
Runnels was there.
Il never could tell how it was that
some people put me in mind Of lizard
till here last spring." says old man Lige
to me, between drinks, as it were. but
| went to town one day and got drunk.
You will meet many a man in the coun-
try that wouldn't tell you plain, flat
footed truth like that. But l raley did
git drunk, Rufe-most hellatiously
drunk. And before l got home | fell
off my mule, and also fell asleep in a
Jam of the fence over there in Ruther-
ford's lane. From the way in which the
sun swung around and went down ON
me durin recess, it would seem like
Slept there about three hours. And
when at last | woke up blamed old
buzzard was scttin there on the fence
lookin at me powerful hongry and
familious like. l pinched myself to
find out for certain whether l was dead
or not, and about that time the buzzard
Topped his wings and flew off 10 the
swamp.
Jest a little too durn smart, says I
to myself, but there are plenty Of poo
pie in the world as smart as that buzz

"Pnor Iskei Hes dead"


And another one would come up end
heave long, deep sigh, and shake his
head and say:
Poor Jake! He's dead"
We'll, things went on about thatway fer
something like two hours, till finally al
last old man Hiram got sick and tired OF
hearin the. same thing over and over
and over. By and by another man come
up sighin and sobbin and cryin like
as if his heart would break, and re-
marked in conclusion that poor Jake
was dead. And that was jest about one
too many for the old man.
"Of course pore Jake is dead" says
old man Hiram. Any blame fool
any native born idiot-couId look at
him and see that. lie died most ire
mendious sad and orful death. lie is
dead. He is very dead. He is jest as
dead as they ever make 'em. But who
in the hill is disputin OF itY'
And that's what makes me tell you
what l do in regards to the hot weather
and hard times. We are more than
probable to have hot weather about this
time Of year, and we most in generally
always have some hot weather along in
the summer. But who in the thunder
is disputin of it?

Who Is "Disputin of It!"

Hot weather and hard times. That is
about the onlyest news you can here
in this pleasant strip of country now
adays. The people talk some ABOUT the
crops and the weather, the big meetins
and religious outpourins, but mostly
about the sweltry hot weather and
felonious hard times. Which that puts
me in mind of story.
Did you ever hear tell of ting" time
when Jake Ballentine got struck and
killed by lightnin? That was years and
years ago down there in the Panther
creek settlement. One day Jake was
plowin down in his new ground. A
thunderin big storm come up, and he
let loose and run under a tree to keep
out of the rain. About that time a
streak of lghtnin struck the tree and
run down to the ground. l never did
hear anybody say whether it was blue
streak or greasy streak. But any
how, when the dust settled and the
smoke cleared away Jake Ballentine had
throwed his hand to the pack and went
the way of all human flesh. The news
spread fast and furious and the neigh
bors come pilin in to see the sad and
awful sight.
Now it come to pass in the main time
that old man Hiram Lucas was about
the first man on the grounds. lie was
on his return back home from town, and
"tanked up" you understand, to about
he Iott III ~
by the shattered remains of Jake Bal
lentine, ard saw the neighbors come
and go.

They tell me there is now little
new grave at the old Liberty church
graveyard down there in the Flat
Woods. where they had soft singin and
slow walkin one day last week for Dick
Hanson's boy lobe. What was ailin
lobe. you reckon? He didn't have the
fever, nor the breakin out, nor the
usual summer complaint. He didn't
have any rcglar human disease. He had
jest simply bit in and dug his own little
grave with his own teeth, as it were.
On Sunday-which was likewise the
Fourth of July-Dck Hanson come up
from the Flat Woods to see me and
brung his boy lobe along with him.
The women folks put in they did and
fixed up most salubrious good dinner.
Man, sir, there was kitchen physic on
the dinner table that day the very APP
pearments of which would put a razor
edge on your teeth and make the salt
water back up in your mouth. And
there was gracious plenty of it. Me
and Dick and the rest of us-exceptin
Tobe-all ct hearty and quit and felt
whole passed. better. But my me my!
1t was a sight and a show to see that
boy wade in and clinch up around a few
sections of plain American grub. He
was more than welcome to everything
in sight, but yet still l wondered in
my soul how he would ever manage to
take it home with him.
Now presently after dinner the boy
lobe curled up on the floor and went
| to rollin and gruntin considerable. And
by this time it was plain as daylight to
me that the onlyest way to move all
that grub to the Flat Woods would be
wagon and haul it down there. They
had come up to pass the day and night
with US, but under the general cir
conference of the calamity l lowed it
would suit me a whole lot better if
Dick would bolt the convention and
take the boy and The grub and go Cd
back to the Fiat Woods and hold eau
Gus with the family doctor.
'You know 1 wouldn't say it if I
didn't think it, Dick, but your boy is a
| gone goslin," says I. He never can
come across with his load. The dinner
which he got on the outside of to-day
would kill any Twin human in the ere
ated world. II you was to take the
grub which that boy ct and put it in a
croker sack l have some rale serious
doubts if he could pick it up and put it
on his back and tote it. He is tired now
and sleepy too. I amt no doctor, and
we are too scandalous busy with the
crops right now to have any funeral
professions from our house. You bet
ter put that grub in your wagon Dick,
and haul it down to the Flat Woods.
The boy is bound to die"
So consequentially Dick took lobe
and the grub in his wagon and returned
back home. And then the next news we
got they had built little pile of fresh
dirt over there at old Liberty grave
ward and sung song:
Safe from the worlds temptations,
| Safe from all doubts and tears"
