The F.ddIer,s Rexenee.

Everybody for 40 miles around knows
the Hanlfins generation of people
Lum and Jess and Miss Nomy. Jess is
a farmer and nothin but farmer,
whilst Lum is farmer to some extent
and likewise also fiddler. OF my own
individual knowledge Lum Hanllins has.
been playin on the fiddle, more or less,
for 13 years. He never did play any
particular tunes and no music to speak
of. He never did play anything for GER
tain. It is my own private and public
opinions that Lum Hankins wouldn't
know "Home, Sweet Home" from run
Nigger Run" if he was to meet both of
them right out in the big road with
linen busters on. don't honestly be-
lieve@ he could take crooked stick and
turn a tune. But Lum is a fiddler all
the same, and he can twist more blood
curdlin, hair-splittin noise out of his
fiddle than any livin mortal man any
where's in the Rocky Creek regions.
Old man Dave Hankins and his good
wife--the father and mother of Lum
and Jess and Miss Nomy-they are now
dead and gone. In their lifetime they
use to bring action in self-defense oncst
in awhile and take out papers of di-
vorcement between Lum and his fiddle.
They would grin and suffer and bear up
under the affiiction as long as they
could-till patience was plum wore out
and life a dreary drag-then the old
lady would levy on the fiddle and lock
it up, gently but firmly. in the Dig fam
lily chist, whilst the old man would give
it out to Lum. all in family way, that
if he didn't shuck his dirty duds and
retire to bed he would soon feel the
heavy hand of fatherly chastisement, or
words to that extent.
But last fall when the old folks had
went on acrost-they didn't more than
reach the shade trees on the other side
before Lum had his old fiddle strung
up and screakin and squealin and
screamin to beat six bits. Every night
the good Lord sent Lum would git out
his fiddle and make the air quake and
tremble, whilst Jess and Miss Nomy
must suffer and be strong. They would
sometimes mildly suggest to Lum that
enough of thing was gracious plen-
ty, and Lum would respond back that
he was free, white and three times
seven, and didn't have blame thing
to do but play on his fiddle and make
the time pass pleasant with him.
