But John Waters aint; fur his bees swarmed and they diden* nobody hardly a t^JJ. no that he had eny bees. He said that he had about fergot about havin’ eny hisself, He said he fooled aroun’ and diden’ have nary gum ready; but he found one at last, Fitz Rollins lent him one that he had made years ago and never did need hit yet. The other day I was a ridin’ on Oph Hunt’s bus and some bees was a fli'^^in' aroun’ over the top of hit. Dwight Lee said that if they swarmed they was his’in. He thot he orght to have’m jest because he was a driven’ the bus, Ben Palmer said that he had. herd of fellers a goin’ in the bee bizniss to keep out of the army, but Dwight was the first one that ho knowed of that had got out of the army to go in the bee bizniss. Jude Towory has ben a huntin’ ever whar a tryin’ to git somebody to make him anuther gum. If his bees keeps on a swarmin’ he is gona’ hcif to by some more land to put the gums on. He has got so mny gums now that it looks like a cumpany of solgers has put up their pup tents on his lot. Grover Esk ridge lives rite nex to Jude.
