Mr.. Davenport again and hoilered 10
him. He was over in the held
started in the field and seen him COM
ine and we met. We spoke and

4hat Clark was over there and SAID,

road business he would wait. lie
said. | don't care to see him. he Will
want his own way about 1t anyhow
He asked me then what about the
road, my ideas about it. | told HIM
nv first recollection OF the road was
that it come down through the woods.
it was above the woods. 1t was IN
cultivation now and there was
fence running over on Godtreys side
where there had been a road since
that one was made Mr.. Davenport
saws, Uncle Fed says the road come
out right along up. he pointed out, on
the hill. I said, I won't attempt to
saw where it come out from only my
recollection is it was somewhere
through the woods. and another road
run out there to the old sawmlll, and
then it run on, I pointed out down
towards the old mill out this way.
At that time | seen Clark. | says,
there is Clark down there yet, and we
both rode off to where Clark was.
0. When you left Clark to go
down in the field where Tom was,
was Clark on his horse, or on the
ground?
A. He was on his horse when |
left him. When / saw him when |
come back he was sitting down under
an oak tree holding his horse. So we
rode I'D to where Clark was. They
spoke to each other and the road
question come up. hardly know
which one started the subject, but
anyway it was started, and | think
Mr.. Tom claimed that the road,
Uncle Fed says, come out up there,
and Mr.. Clark says, along here kind
OF up the line Mr. Tom says. there
never was a road there. Clark says,
why, didn't I haul my guano there
this year? Yes, by God, you hauled 1t
along the road | made h-uling my
cord-wood out. Mr. Tom says, Mr..
Smith, didn't tell you you could
go up that road? He says, yes, you
told me, but you said split the line,
and how could split the line? Mr..
Tom says. told Mr.. Workman yes
terday if you would open the back
end of this road, as you say on your
.-papers-if you and others-l will
give YOU road across there. Smith
says, that settles it, Show me where
I can go across there, and | promise
YOU | will never make another track
across there. So he got on his horse
and rode up-down. reckon you
would call it down, to show us where
he could 60 through. In going up
there. something was said about the
road. as 10 Uncle Fed saying it come
out here. and Mr.. Tom said TO Mr..
Smith. You had three OF my trees cut
up here. He says, No. l didn't have
them cut. Well, by God, i didn't
suppose you done it yourself, l didn't
suppose you done it yourself, but you
had your man to do it. He says, no,
| never had that done either. Tom
says, suppose you had your man to
do it, as you do everything won want
done, or something to that effect.
So we rode on then down to where
they proposed 10 give road. Mr..
Tom pointed cut and says. Now you
can go through there, drive over my
crop and | will gather what is left,
and next year l will leave it un-plow
ed up, and Clark, he kind of got out
of the road and started up the path.
Tom says, You want to make me give
vo,, = road ,D here Clark saws. No.
