SeSsial TO tie Mr1pS.
We have had quite lot of winter.
On the 14th we had snow storm,
which covered up the plateau of old
Cumberland with four inches of snow
on level
Well, | promised some interesting
reading when winter began. had bet
ter give you little OF mine and Uncle
Toms experience. First, Iwant to
tell you Uncle Tom made a genuine
profession the other day. Uncle Tom
and l have hunted hogs for the four
days just passed. First day killed a
gobbler; second day two hogs third
day killed another turkey fourth
day Uncle Tom professed. l think it
is genuine and believe he will hold
out. The fourth day. we were busy
tracking turkeys and as we crossed a
little hollow we struck large coon
track which led off in the direction of
Mill Creek. Tom went after the coon
and went after the turkey. / soon
quit and went to help Uncle Tom. We
soon tracked it in hole in the cliff.
We sent dog in after it and he soon
came out to us. Uncle Tom wanted to
leave but l insisted on trying to get it
out so sent the dog back again. The
dog went and tried to come out at an
other place about so feet from WHERE
he went in and as he tried to come out
he got lost about ten feet back in the
hole. We tried every way we could to
get him out. Uncle Tom made
three attempts to get him out and fail
ed and decided to let him die. / knew
our bacon was in the life of the dog. l
insisted that we try again so after a
little devotional exercise Uncle Tom
entered the hole again with renewed
energy. He went to work in good
faith. He asked me to cut him stick
with fork to it and said he thought
he could get him Hope arose in my
heart for the first time. I handed him
the stick and he reached behind the
dog and gave him pull. He exclaim-
ed, 81 have moved him. Glory to
God | have moved him and broke
this stick Get me another one and ]
will sure get him. / at once got
him another one. Hope rose high in
Uncle Toms breast and he pressed
with all of his might further in the
hole, reached over and took hold of the
hide on the dogs back, raised him up
and the dog came out. heard Uncle
Tom say 81 have got him, have sure
got him. Hooppee! hooppeep' l saw
he had genuine case. / had been
right with him all the time and know
he sure got it. You are to be judge as
to what kind of religion he got
gave few "whooppees' to clinch it,
but as to what kind of religion Uncle
Tom got, whether he got dog, hog OF
bacon religion I can't tell but he SURE
got it. So now | am ready to go out
hunting with him any time for ht
