Pleasant Valley

Now dear readers have patience
until we tell you of little old
time possum hunt. Two young
men who reside in our valley, took
advantage Wednesday night of
the warm night and started to
scour Wildcat Valley of every
thing like wildcat, or anything
that even felt as a wildcat does.
They had not gone far when the
loud hurried barking of the dogs
told the bold hunters that the
wildcats were all up in one tree.
Away went Ichabod, Beatte end
the Pearl Diver the Pearl Diver
far ahead, carrying with him the
only torch light to be had in the
crowd, and leaving the grim
hunters to struggle through tree
tops and the ten-pronged green
briers for which this valley is
noted, and which is the source of
the smartness of our young people.
Well, but to proceed to our story.
Finally when they all got to the
tree which was pictured in each
one of their minds to be loaded
down with all kinds and sizes of
the long-whiskered wildcats, they
found it to be nothing more or less
than bristled-tailed, long-nosed
'possum. The Pearl Diver was
not slow in climbing up the tree
and laid his hands on the possum
and carried him safely to mother
earth where they proceeded to
strip him of his hide, and Pearl
Diver remained to roast Mr..
possum, while the rest of the
gang pressed on for fresh supplies.
The Pearl Diver started brisk
fire and had the possum ga bilin. "
as he says it, when he fell into a
deep sleep. While he slept one
of the others, Beatte, came around
to the fire and took out the possum
and ate the whole thing and
smeared the gravy over the Pearl
Diversmouth, the Pearl Diver not
even wakening up. Then Beatte
sat there until Pearl awoke, and
when he did awake and found his
face covered with gravy he
thought he had eaten the possum
himself, and he drowsily remarked
that after eating whole possum,
he never felt as lank and gaunt
in his life.
In the start it was our intention
to tell you the whole story but our
heart is failing us and we will
leave the rest for you to imagine.
If any reader would like to hear
the rest of the story you can get
it by sending 10 cents, money or
stamps, to The Pearl Diver, Box
%, Rockbrldge, Ohio.

fSrans in Congress were elated Saturday
BY the racial debate that Congressman
Helm OF Alabama in the House precipi-
tailed by offering an amendment to the
local traction bill providing for Jim
Grow cars in the District Of Columbia.
Il was plain that the Democrats from
the South were playing politics and the
Republicans did not permit the oppor-
tunity to slip by without defense Of the
negro and it was the opinion Of many
of them that an outcome of the heated
debate must be to conserve the negro
vote to the Republican party with even
Taft as the nominee. The amendment
was rejected by a large majority, most
Of the northern Democrats who had not
left the chamber refraining from voting.
Bourke Cochran prccipitately fled Just
before the vote was taken.
