OLD UNCLE MOSE..s.s++.

When the South heard that they called out
Jefferson Davis and told him something had to
be done about 1t. They could not live in q
country with a man like Lincoln as President.
Davis came from high class and never did
run with common folks He went to Richmond
and built capital and manufactured plenty
of money. black field hand in the South
could make as much as four hundred dollars in
three months in those days. Hard times seemed
gone for good Maybe people pleasured so much
they forgot to pray. Anyway the North people
got vexeder than ever and called out Lincoln.
Lincoln said the best way was to fight it out,
whoever was whipped would lose all the money.
He rounded up all the white trash and sent
them South. They fought the South four years.
Burned the houses, stole the silver, carried Off
the horses and freed the slaves They had
plenty OF their own money but it was no good
to buy things. 1t sad time. The South
has not gotten straight to this day. Money
has been scarce since.
[ IOW about slavery Uncle Moses, suggested:
Weren't the slaves glad to be free?
Not me, Miss. never dug well in my
life until after freedom. I de pantry boy,
wild plenty to eat plenty to drink, not lash
on my back lessen I forgot my manners and
took toe much after de gentlemen had finished
drinkin' dey drains.
He says the North started slavery. They went
to Africa and brought shipoads of black peo-
pie from the land where God put Ham. The
weather was too cold the slaves died like
flies. Those that were left were sent South and
sold. The North people did all that. Thank
God they did. Cold weather is a hard thing
in this world. Hams children had a bad
enough curse on them already, without being
frozen to death Ham did terrible thing when
he laughed at his pa. God says children must
honor W
on anybody right today for disrespect to old
folks Satan is to blame. Satan wants hell
piled up with people.
1t is a pity God let Satan loose on the
world, Uncle Nose put in.
1t does look SO, but God never aimed to do
1t. long time ago before the world was made
God sat up by himself in the middle of the
air. He was the Father, Son and Holy Ghost
all in one, but He got lonesome with nobody
to talk to, He built fine heaven made q
gold throne to sit on, and next to 1t He put
a gold chair and made an angel named Luct-
fer to sit beside Him and talk. Before long
God made the earth and people just for some
thing to do and Lucifer helped him smart
as could be-
Lucifer was the star of heaven for Jesus was
not born then, but he got uppity and sassy.
God kicked him clean out of heaven into the
middle of the earth. Lucifer fell so fast his
wings caught fire and burnt off,
That same fire started hell and it is seven
times hotter than fire on earth. Before the peo-
pie on earth could use it, God made an angel
take a piece and swim it through seven rivers
to cool it down enough to cook with.
When Lucifer left heaven God changed his
name to Satan, but He could not make him
stand still and behave. Every time God looked
off Satan slipped up to the top of the earth and
started wars and deviltry. He is at it strong a.
ever, yes, Lord.
President Hoover better pray. He better
break his knee joints regular or Satan will
the very one started all these airplanes. The
Bible says people must keep out of the elements,
says it plain as day.
It is pity God let the Republicans multiply
so fast. Now since they rule the land look at
the price of cotton, look at the bad liquor look
how everything is changed. Even the sun
does not shine so bright and the skies are not
near so blue No Lord times have changed
But wait Things might get better. No tell-
ing. God will never turn His face clean away
from high class, bredded people. 1t would be no.
surprise if the South would start manufacturing
money again like they used to- Plenty of smart
men are left here yet. Plenty. They got better
sense than to make airplanes and things to kill
they-selves. They make cotton to clothe the
people and corn to feed them and raise hogs
and cattle
That's the way to live. The Republicans will
soon thin themselves out. 1t will be blessing
too. Wen have good country to live in then.
Plenty of money plenty to wear, plenty to eat.
Some of these days We'll tell hard times good
by If we don't forget God and Jesus
