Toms first sweethart, Ruth a
mighty purity an sweet country gal'
wuz all mixed up in it too. She Wuz

bruther Jimmie, a half cracked boy,
that T wuz mighty sorry fur.
Oh, it all locked jest like the rale
thing to n,e, an 7 can't think Of it as
a play.
Toms ole blacksmith shop-the ole

no body can see it with out Wanttn
to be as god an pure as Tom Logan
an purity Ruth; an the life an the
.windin up of that wicked woman, will
give a body a cleerer conception OF
the blackness an hideousness OF sin,
an make en- realize that "the wages
of sin is deth."
Sunday evenin wuz mighty purity

the delivery stable an tuck me to ride.

cousins, an both Ola an settled, thare
wern't no harm in goin, though L
must say he shore is as fine lookin an
handsome man as I ever seen (cepnn
Jeem's of corse!)
Well, we driv all over Monroe,
which I found out wuz heap bigger
an purifier than I had any 1dee 1t

that looked like a fire ort to be stuck

He shode me all the churches an the
cemetery, an he shore has got nice
monument to his wife's grave. Mag
gle wuz a mighty fine woman an Jack
will never get done missin her.
I saw field Of the finest corn jest
outside of towr that 7 ever saw on
upland. The fodder wuz all pulled
an the tops cut off down to the ears,
which wuz so thick they could here
ever thing one another sed. Why, I
no we'll an good, that them stalks
didn't average morn fifteen inches
apart, an the rows wuz close together
too. Ever stalk wuz about the same
hite an every ear the same size-all
whoppers. It wuz a purity stefan
I love corn bread, pellagry or no pei
lagry.
We went bout a mile outen town to
a dairy farm, an never seen as
many COWS an calves at won place

things to pack feed in-Cousin Jack
called EN- "silows' I believe. There
wuz two of EN-, an looked to be twelve
or more feet acrost-wuz bilt hi ali
round an air tite. Green feed Wuz
cut an packed in EN- fur winter use

fruit in glass jars. 1t don't look rea-
sinable, but no we'll an good he don't

a place as West End, Newberry, but
didn't have as fine a skule house an
churches.
Then we went to what Cousin Jack
called "The Sub Station" a. place
frum which lecktricty is sent mighty
nj all over n. C. That wuz a mighty
queer place an I can't prescribe it
cawse I don't no what to call a thing

made down at the river summers, an
sent up there threw big wire ropes
an then wuz distributed out as need
