Huskin Bee!
Give by Cy Hoskins in his Barn!
Lem QuigIey got a Kiss and
an Awful Slap! -Cy got his
Corn all Huskt!- More Work
Than PLEASURE

Cyrus Hoskins, one of our most re-
spected and well-to-do citizens held his
annual huskin bee in his barn last Tues
day eve'g. Cy has held huskin bee in
his barn every year for 10 these many
lyears-that's the way Cy gets his corn
husked for nothink as you might say,
being as he's tighter with money than
the bark to a tree and would ruther
do this than to pay anything for hiring
his corn huskin did.
The festivities begin promptly at E
p. m, and was attended by young and
old alike, not only from Bingville, but
from the surrounding country. Every
body fell to and nearly worked the skin
often their fingers huskin Cy's corn for
him, while Cy walked about among
them smiling and urging them to work
harder
Considerable excitement was caused
when Lem Quig1ey happened to find a
red ear of corn, and follering out the
custom hereabouts which entities the
finder of red ear of corn to kiss emmy
girl present he pleases, Lem he up and
chased after Sally Hoskins, and Sally
run and screamed. but Lem he overtuk
her and kissed her right on the corn
bin. to which she had elm for safety.
Sally blushed like everything and Lem
stood there sn1ilin and looking purity
we'll satisfied with results until his
wife who was present walked up and
hit him slap in the face that like to
of. broke his jaw, to say nothing of
nearly knocl1in his head often his shout
ders.
Them as was present said they never
saw Letitia Quigley any madden in all
their born days. After she had slapped
Lem, she grabbed holt of his arm and
marched him right off home, and when
they arrived there, there is no tellin
what else she done to Lem. AS Le-
titia passed out of the barn she turned
around long enough to call Sally Hos
kins cat.
This little calamity naturally cast sort
of damper on the evenings perceed-
ings. Several more ears of red corn
was found, but them as found them
didn't appear to have the courage of
their CONVERSATIONS. and as result, no
more proniscuous kissin was did
About g p. m. Cy stopped the huskin
bee long enough to pass around cider
apples and doughnuts, and everybody
present ct fit to bust Cy only allowed
twenty pninits for lunch, and then he
put all his guests back to huskin again
and finished up the job by midnight
Then the barn floor was cleared for a
dance.
Pete Hines, the one.eyed fiddler from
Sorrow Holler, furnished the nusick on
| his fiddle, but them as was present had
worked so hard at huskin corn that
fthey was too doggoned tired to dance
much. and as result the huskin bee
broke about l a m. and everybody
went home conshious of evening prof
itably spent for Cy.
