So while Mrs. Dooley was under the
influence OF Dofeehit's Love Powder,
left in a wonderful makehaste. As to
where was going or when would be
back was a matter to be considered lat
er. In due time | arrived at my daugh-
ers, Mrs Matte Higgins where
took dinner and started up the noun
tain and across to Whitwell.
AS started down the mountain l
stopped at JEFF Harris's we'll to get
drink OF water and while there Mrs
JEFF Harris came to the door and asked |
me II had ever seen a cabbage snake. |
l told her had not, and she told me
there was one on the front porch going |
through examination, and II | would |
come aroundsI could see the sight with
out any charge. Thinking this cheap |
enough at once took advantage of the
opportunity and inspected it closely
and found it to bo the real article.
Mrs. Harris had just finished making
barrel of crout when Mrs. Frizzell, a
near neighbor, found the snake and
fetched it over for Mrs. Harris to see.
On making the acquaintance of Mr.,
and Mrs Harris and finding them to be
very pleasant company l stayed so long
thought would miss the train, know
ing that l must get through the 3rd
district without being seen, but |
thought Mrs, Dooley was probably af-
ter me in hot haste so got hump on
myself that would have made a camel
look like clothes line.
/ arrived at the depot in due time to
geta ticket for Dunlap. Then | had
time to look around to see if was pur-
sued and on seeing there was no one
after me began to breathe easier. l
peeped in the train to see If there was
any Of the parties on the train that had
given me so much trouble in the 3rd
district, and not seeing any of them |
began to feel that was safe, at least at
that time. At last the train moved out
and was soon in Dunlap.
AS soon as the train stopped made
my way to place of safety for the
night. During the night / had time to
collect my scattered thoughts and get
them together so that | could transact
my business early next morning and
come back on the down train, but after
| had eaten a good breakfast | conclud-
ed to stay in Dunlap that day and see
some of my old friends. During the
day met and made tho acquaintance
of Judge Heard, found him to be very
pleasant company and quite a nice gem
tleman
During the day stopped in at the
Tribune Office and made the acIuain-
lance of the pleasant editor, su described
for the Tribune had short but pleas
ant conversation with the said Mr.. Bla-
lock and left telling him that | would
be in Dunlap soon when l would see
him again.
! saw several in Dunlap that form
erly lived in old Marion among them
was Uncle Torbett and John Trimer
both late of said county.
While on our way home we met our
old friend, viii Alley, which gave US
great pleasure to give him a good warm
hand shake as we had not see not seen
each other for several years.
received my first copy of the Trib
une Saturday and find it to be mum
Der one good little paper, and worth
worth twice the subscription price
Come again Mr.. Tribune. We dom
know how we have made out without
you as long as we have | think every
body and his dad and some few others
ought to take their county papers. /
encourages our accommodating editors
in the way of keeping the meal tub re
plenished and also encourages a home
enterprise. We see in the Tribune
that the said Henry Thurman of Dau'
was in Dunlap and also that he is pres
ident of the Loafers' Club. Wondei
what salary he gets. Must be RICH
smart as he puts in all his time tending
to the office. Better get Dock Hatfield
to help him straighten up his books.
| see in the Tribune the editor is
asking delinquents to pay part of VIVA
they owe on subscription. Why no
say pay what U o, not part.
Well, we are now at Whitwell where
we leave the train to start across th
mountain and slip in the back way
Now the old trouble begins to crowd IN,
mind again, so | concluded TO slip il
and see some of the little Dooley
and get them to give their mother dos
of Dofetchits Powders before she foun
that had returned, so succeeded an
while they were giving the powders
| slipped in the field and gathered a
armiul of corn, got grittor from Cork,
crew, and soon had enough meal groun
for dinnor, and stopped a storm.
Looks like l would not be so afraid G
a storm. There was a storm come on
time when | was counting Mrs. DoOle )
There was a storm the night we wer
married, and | have lived in storm e.
