Savannah courier. (Savannah, Tenn.) 1885-1979, 1898-10-07
Swift.

Having had some experience
with different localities since my
last pencil showing in favor of the
Courier, | want to say that Hardin
or at least this part of this grand,
old county is not second to any in
the state. OF course, | speak
from an industrious standpoint
Now, to prove my position, | want
to say from actual observation
that at least one.third of the men
actually will get up and make their
wives a fire in the stove-provided
she always prepares the wood the
evening before, and it has been
rumored that some of the men
have gone so far with the matter
as to help their better.half grind
the axe, in case they would do the
turning of the grindstone.
Now, is not this lovely to think
our men are coming right to the
front, even at this late date?
guess this is only a reproduction
Of those good old times we read
about, when she did the turning
and he held his nose thereon.
We are expecting several nup
tial feasts in our community this
fall, and | have about decided to
hitch on to something like that
Here's how | am on a thing like
that: The match is made in case
she agrees to furnish the bread;
feel sure that can scrap around
and get up the water, but still
hear men say every day that it il
not their place to bringin a buckle
Of water, SO might want tc
Jump the game" about the clos
ing scene of the honey moon.
Always be on time. This ques
ton furnished the people of In
dian Creek, near its mouth ant
farmers opposite Saltillo, one o
the most peculiar sights on las
Thursday nj g h t, FIR la
and Friday night that has eve
occurred in the annals of history.
BY some means a Mr.. Northcut
and a Mr.. Brown learned tina
since the late war was over for {
short spell, at least) that any
farmer or private wanting t.

power, ship their stuff themselves
without letting it pass through
the hands Of an agent. SO early
on Thursday morning, Septembe.
%, 1898, they picked up thei
necessaries for camping, loaded
up their wagons with corn, oats
hay and provisions for six ant
took their leave for the banks O
the beautiful Tennessee, there tt
stay until they could be relieved
of u nice bovine.
Their first day and night wer,
happily spent, but on the mornin!
Of the second day they began tC
grow weary Of their location ant
moved up the river a few PAGES
At about 9 o'clock the second ola.
they began to realize their con

they fOcked in until you coul'
hardly get standing room nea
enough to hear them give thei
experience, and at II o'cloc|
Friday there were anxious eyes
sympathetic eyes and four ret
eyes tearing up and down tn
bank Of that once beautiful stream
longing for tie arrival of that boa
which someone had said w0ult
come to their relief. Having bus

creek, | went away wfully
not knowing what their fate woul'
be, but | learned on getting bacl
on this side, where we have tele
phone conyeyances, that the boa
