stretched up another inch and pointing
his trembling hand, said; Right over
there is the spring where l used to fill
my old canteen. Yes, I would be glad to
stop long enough to walk over there
and take one more drink OF that water.
We licked them Yankees all around
here, but there was too many of EN-
too many. They just come up out of the
yearth like locusts in Egypt"
The old man was familiar with every
place we passed, and talked fast and
eagerly. When he told me he was from
old Gwinnett and had a farm on Yaller
river, / was drawn closer to him and
asked him about the Craigs and
Vaughans and the old Moses Liddell
place and Shoal creek and Montgom-
ely's mill pond and Fairview church
end the old manual labor school. The
old man looked at me again and again
with bewildered curiosity and finally
ventured to ask what mout my name be.
ibid you know the AleXanders and
stricltlands and Nathan Hutchins?"
said |.
ooh, yes, l knowed DR.. Alexander and
all his boys, and all the Strieklands
from old Milza down and l llnowed the
Ifutchinses. l come down to Atlanta
with Fitz Hutchins this morning He's
our judge, you know, and he's good
friend of mine. knowed all the boys.
Clarence amt fur from me.
"What mout your name be?" said he.
"Did you know an old man in Law
renceville named Asa Smith," said !.
"Why, of course I did; everybody
knowd him. / traded in his store for
years and years. He moved away to
Floyd county just before the war. Did
you ever live in Lawrenceville?
"Do you remember little dark-skin,
blacl1-eyed girl who used to ride horse
back up that road. She was Fitz Hutch
ms sister"
"Why, of course l do. Everybody
knew her. She used to go to the old
Judges farm on the river, IL miles from
town and go alone, and she went in q
hurry and come back with bag of
apples or peaches hanging to the horn
Of her saddle. She married old Asa
Smiths son, if | don't mistake, think
Fitz told me that. l was thinking that
maybe you were him, but then you are
too old man, reckon"
my FRIEND said I. ..you forget that
il has been over so years since you saw
that little girl; yes, she is my wife and
is not little girl any more"
"Well, well, shore enuf," said he, with
melancholy tone; Il do forgit-I'm
always forgittin'. An you are old Asa's
son. Well, well; used to trade with
you and your pa and the Stricklands.
Well, we'll; am SO glad come across
YOU"
The whistle blowed and the bell rang
and gave the old man warm shake of
the hand and said: "Good-by-God
bless you."-Bill Arp, in Atlanta Con-

They "Flt In n Dream"

One Sunday mornin some two or
three weeks ago old man Turner Simp-
kins and his wife showed over at Bark
Log ehurch--whieh their names, you
understand, are written there-lookin
like they mought of rode thrashin
machine through cyclone.
The old man he had one arm in a
sling and his face was SCARED and
scratched from Dan unto Habbersham,
as it were, whilst one section of his
whislsers had come up missin. The old
lady she was black and blue in spots as
big as bed quilts so far rs you could see,
and she had all the general appointments
of female woman which had whipped
her weight in wildcats.
To be certainly of course everybody
wanted to know when and where the
war had busted loose and what it was
all about. The old lady didn't do any
tallin to speak of with her mouth, but
the old man put in to explain the where
fores and the whenees thereof, which
you must remember explanations don't
sometimes always explain.
"Me and Puss we had the gone-byest
most straight dream the other night
you ever heard tell of perhaps" says
he. 81 dreampt that ! had went to the
county fair and got into scandalous
bad fight with one of the Ranltins boys
IN regards to a horse race, whilst Puss
dreampt that she had met up with a
felonious big wildcat down about the
spring. So there we was in our dream
me a fightin Puss for Newt Rankins
and her fightin me for a wildcat. And
there we had it-up and down and over
and under-till presently the dogs they
got to barkin loud and furious and We
woke up. When finally at last we did
git woke and come to our senses there
was Puss and there was me fightin and
scratchin like IA cats in one meal
barrel. But we had jest simply got
mixed up and fell out and fit in n
dream"

The old spa Cg down under the hill
it likewise puts me in mind of the
first sweetheart | ever had in this vain
and fleetin world below-which you rec
ollect have always helt to it that the
old-time sweethearts are the sweetest,
And even unto this blessed day | can
look down into them bubblin waters
and see the new sun bonnet, with pink
linin and blue trimmin-and the plain
checl.ered Gress, and the same similar
face which saw at the old spring down
under the hill that day, when kissed
her for the first time, and hand in hand
together we passed joint resolution
and lowed TO mix clothes for better or
for worse, so long as we mought live.
Years and years ago the weddin come to
pass in pursuance of adjournment, but
every time I see the old spring down
under the hill it puts me in mind of
heart leaves and honeysuckles, and the
most loveliest, sweetest girl that ever
run a reel or jumped a jig on the broad
bosom of Gods green earth.

A Little "Tcckinality."

The old spring down there under the
hill always puts me in mind of some
thin tremendous funny which come TO
PASS way back in my young and gallin
dsys, but in another settlement. twas
wcy over there in the hill country, but
at any rates the scandalation which fol-
lowed was the old spring on the Hassel-
tine place.
It would seem like Wash Trammel
and Miss Louisiana 1Iasseltine (flat-
footed Lou, as US boys were wont to call
herr had been playin sweethearts, and
courtin and carryin on 10 beat six bits.
But all of a student like Wash he laid
down his arms. as il were, and quit the
fight. What next? Well. Miss Lou
isiara she went to court and put in
heavy claims for damages, and took out
papers Of compliment 20 make Wash
come to taw. Then Wash he didn't do
blame thing but fight the case. Right
now I can't remember all the " here
fores and wbenceness. but / recollect

IL Puts Him ain Min d.

Every time | return back to the old
Panther Creek settlement-to the old
home place where | was horned and
bred and brung up-somehow my wan
derin feet will tote me off down there
to the old spring under tie hill. A
tremendous big change has come over
the general appearments of everything
around there-everythiGg exeeptin the
old spring. 1t is the same thing-then
and noW-heneeforwards and forever.
And it is plum maryelsome, friends
and fellow citizens, but there is nothin
else in the round created world that
puts me in mind OF the dim and dis
tant and dreamy past like the old
spring down under the hill.
1t puts me in mind of one time when
me and Joe Nick Stringer had to stand
up and take large dost of fatherly chas-
tisement. A gang of us boys had went
possum huntin the night before and
broke into old man Tom Jernigan' S
sugar care patch. Sugar cane at home
plenty and to spare, you understand
but nothin would do but we must
break in way long in the dead hours
of night and take somethin that didn't
belong to us. Human nature was hui
man then-like it always use to be and
like it is till yet-and somehow old man
Toms sugar cane was q whole lot more
softer and sweeter than any we could
fud at home. So, consequentially, we
went in and broke out with fifteen OF
twenty stalks, and then climbed up
around the juice thereof and toted it
off.
The next day Joe Nick he had come
over to our house and me and him had
slipped off down there to the spring to
hold a private confabulation. But bless
gracious the next news we got here
come the paternal ancestor of your
humble fellow servant and busted up
the meetin. lie had heard the news in
regards to the sugar cane crop, and he
maintained that stealth was stealth. We
soon found out that it was all vanity
ind yexation of spirit to aGgify the case.
Our time had come. We had to shed our

1t seems like Handy was on the Wit
ness stand and he wanted tie lawyer to
explain his questions. But ihe lawyer
he wouldn't explain any to speak Of
"If the court pleases," he would say,
"this is only little legal teehnicality
and the witness has nothing to do with
it,"
Now presently Handy give it il that
he had saw Wash and Miss Louisiana
down at the spring late one evening
"lallagaggin and carryin on scandlous. !"
what do you mean by lallagaggin
and carryin on?' says the lawyer.
Nov iedge," says Handy, that is
one OF them little teekinalities amongst
us country folks and the lawyer amt
got dadblamcd thing to do with it,"
The crowd broke loose right there in
the courthouse and laughed all over it
self. The judge belt that Handy was
right about it, and so fur as | know that
little country "teelinality" never has
been explained.
