the portch and Had a Straw out Of
the Broom and was TIckelen little al
bert Behind the ear and maxim Him

Kentucky fudes is a good Deal like the
meesuls. You see the man what lives
on one Side Of the road mebby has q
calf what Braiks into the Field where
the man on the Other side of the road
has HIS otes. Then the man what owns
the otes gifts out with his dawg and
sicks him onto the Calf and the dawG
bites the Calf. and the calf blats and
sticks up It's tale and sees WHARF the
bars is Down and runs the Other way.
$50 purity soon the owner OF the Calf
comes out with His three Boys and
thay all have Guns, and thay see the
man who is ehasin the Calf and hide
behind a straw Stack or something I'M
til he comes around WHARF thay can git
a bead on Him, and the fude begins.
$50 the man quits chasln the Calf
and fer about two or Three Days after
that the Preacher and the Undertaken
HIATT to work overtime. and the Broth
ers and the Unkles and cuEzens Of the
man what was after the Calf comes
over frum the next County and bring
their Fude tools along.
"If they ore emmy lnnosent bystand-
ers around that's the Best Time fer
Them to git bizzy tending to their own
crops or Leevlng fer parts unknown.
Then a sollturry horseman comes gal
looping over the hill, and He rides up
to the fellers from the next county and
Says:
"Tm the shurreR. What are you peo-
pie Doln Here?"
"Thay say they list come over to

woods WHARF he cant see and Hides

Hunt up the relations Of the Man what
