.Fragments and Sayingii
Rmember that in my first article,
I said that I w i ui use rames o£
persons, places and things as they
were used then.
Jimmie Siniard had cattle running
on the range between the settlement
and Gloucester. In going out to look
.after them, he met Jim Owen. He in
quired if he had seen any cattle or
heard any bells. . Owen had seen
no cattle but had heard a bell. Sin
iard asked him what color the cow
was that had the bell on. Owen said,
*‘Y, Jimmie, I could not tell that.”
Siniard said, “I can”. Owen says,
“Jimmie Siniard, do you mean to toll
me that you can hear a cow bell
and tell the color of the cow that has
the bell on?” Siniard said, “ I cer
tainly can.” Owen says, “Well, I
must be petting along. Goodbye,
Mr. Siniard.”
Friend Schyni’s wife was a mem
ber of the East Fork Baptist Church.
The pastor on one occasion preached
on “Schisms and Divisions” in the
church. Among other thinjrs he said
he wanted no schisms in that church.
Friend took umbrage at it. Said he
“didn’t know what in h he had
against the Schyms” Said his wife
had been a member twenty years,
“now if she has to go out of the
church, it will about do her up for
she already has the rheumatics.”
We mustered in those days. I was
captain of Co. “C.” Jim Magahn and
Joe belonged to my company. Jim
had a son Jim. He had married
against old Jim’s will. Somebody
asked him one day at mustar if it was
a fact that Jim was married. He said
“yes, b— —, and I rather he had
died when we was an ‘instant’ ”
I will give an incident that was
pulled off 58 years ago in which Jim
mie Brackens and the writer was par
ties of the first part, but became par
ties of the second part. After the
parties of the first part became to be
parties of the second part, they, be
ing men of good report in whom there
was no guile as any body knew of,
thought it best to keep quiet—and we
did.
Brackens was a man that didn't
travel around after dark by himself.
He and Sam Clark was on an ox trade.
One moonshiny night, he came down
and asked me to go with him down
to Sam’s. Sam lived with liis moth
er on the old Mathe\v Wi!f;on \)Iyce.
George Clark lived up the i ranch or.
the side of the hill. On our road
home, we went a path way over the
Ball hill and the Jumpin’ Eninch.
As we came back by George Bob
Wilson’s old spotted horse was tied
by the side of George’s crib, a rope
round his neck. George was in the
house playing the fiddle. Ilrackens
says, “Jeems, lets have some fun.
When we are a safe distance from
the house, I will holler, ‘Hoss chokin’
to death.’ ” When we were the safe
distance, he hollowed at the top of
his voice. We heard the rippet in the
house, then struck the run. As soon
as they saw the horse standing quiet.
Bob let in to cussin’ and George
commenced calling the dogs. They
had two bad ones. Brackens said,
*‘I jolly, Jeems, I forgot the ever
lasting old dogs.”
The dogs were down at Sam’s, for
tunately for us. We heard them an
swer . Brackens said, “Jeems, keep
up if you can. There’s got to be some
runnin* done or some mighty harcl
ilghtin’. Let’s make the Ball hill if
we can. There is plenty of rocks
there.” When we were at the Jump
in’ Branch, the dogs were on the top
of the hill about two hundred * and
fifty yards behind us in full cry, right
after us, and the men coming behind
them encouraging them on. Brack
ens says. Jeems, can we make the
Ball hill? We must have rocks. When
we reached the Ball hill, we just fell
over the fence. Brackens says, “here
we fight. You attend to the dogs and
I’ll attend to the men.”
The dogs got bothered at the
branch. The branch was wide where
the path crossed. They went down
a few steps where they could step
over and then came back to the path
But we didn’t go that round that
night, neither did we wade it. We
heard them call oif the dogs and try
to get them to go up the road toward
Poor’s store. Then we felt safe
Brackens said, “Well, Jeems, how did
you like the fun?” I don’t remem
ber what I said, but I know that I
was not struck on it. I said, “How
do you like it?” He said, “Well,
when I was running my level best
expecting every minute to fall down,
two big dogs right at my heels and
two mad men trying to keep up with
the dogs, I would rather have been at
Jaun Clark’s meetin.’ ”
A few days after, he met with Bob.
Bob told Brackens all about it, want
ed him to help find out who it was.
Bob said, “Whoever it was, he was
riding, if he had been afoot, the dogs
would have got him.” Brackens
agreed to it. Said he would like to
see the man that could out-run them
stinkin’ dogs. All the fun we got
out of it was getting to be Bob’s
sccret service men. When I left the
country. Bob had not yet run them
down, with Brackens to help him.
James Brackens was in a class to
himself. There was none like him.
A man of fine aense, uneducated,
strictly honest, ^pebhorred the man
that would do a little dirty trick.
He could say tl^e meanest things
about him, but he did not say them
like anybdy else would say it.

TROUBLES COST
IflMAFORTM
Texas Farmer Suffered For Year*—
Is Relieved By Tanlac.
“A few bottles of Tanlac haVe done
me more good than other medicines
and treatments that cost mo a small
fortune,” said C. C. Fisher, a pros
perous farmer living at. Irving, Route
1, a few miles from Dallas, Tex.
“For fifteen years,” he continued,
I suffered so terribly from stomach
trouble that I thought I would never
get well. Everything
get well. Everything I would eat
went back on me and I would belch
up my food so sour that it would al
most strangle me, the gas on my
stomach would press on my heart so
as to cause it to flutter and I would
have the hardest time getting my
breath. I was really in such awful
condition that I felt like I had about
g6t to the end of my row. ^
“ But now I feel like I am good
for many years yet, for Tanlac has
fixed me up so that I can eat any
and everything without any bad ef
fects and since -gas has stopped form
ing in my stomach I am not troubled
with palpitations or shortness of
breath. I have gained six pounds al
ready and am working hard on my
farm every day now and am glad to
reccommend Tanlac for the wonder
ful way it has helped me.”
Tanlac is sold by leading druggist
everywhere.—adv.
