Cal is jist about the best President
that we ever had here at Casar and
everything jB again*; fine only once

pect along through Christmas. Hits
Sorter like MrP ? daddy use tu sny
v.hc! h: y wood git him up in the
'h 1 " -jru.g drunk and intoxi
r< ' i ■ * plead guilty, but sny
t i* Po done it in solf defense, and
that hit wuz a mighty pore Methodist
that didn’t git drunk during Christmas
Now don’t nobody think that I sed
t'M'; tu try tu east, a slur un Gua Rich
■" d fur I never thought of him nor
kautt fur mx months, by the almanac.
I win jiit a statin’ fucts as they

wuz young fellers and {Udn’V.fef^A ,ftW
nothing only tu hn«» u» u -Kig tihie.
WeV«,-ripht snpi.^t tdtfhi 'now, but that
haa^tate’o no change in us yit, Sal *ez.
We ust tu t at supper and git our jug
in. a sack and light out over the moun
tains into Burke and we didn’t care a
durn how fur hit wuz fur we jist
meant tu have hit before we shook the
duel oft’ of our feet in Cusar ever
again. Kit wuz worth walking 15
miles in the dark jist tu git tu wall:
back 15 miles before dnylight and
hear Gua and me sing an* cut up on
the way. And part of the time when
we got back we wasn’t ns drunk as
we wuz most of the time.
We’d be sorter sleep and sorter out
of our heads and we’d git lost if we
v usn’t mighty careful how we acted.
Sam Warliek went and built his hog
pen in the wrong place fur a hogpen
ro one nitc when we landed in Casar
we wuz a feeling powful reckless and
good, so we didn’t much want tu go
btwnc and behave ourselves like folks
• ught to I rci, whov will we go tu
rtny all nite fur I’m sorter afraid of
Sal fur the time being. Gua sez, Thns
ail rite we’ll go down tu the hoshell
and shay. So we started on fur I wuz
sleepy and wo got even with the hog
pen Gus sez Well here we air shore
ns the world. Ho knocked on the side
of the pen and one of the hogs grunt
ed. Shay old hoshell man how much
fur two of us tn sleep in one of your
beds about a week. The hog grunted
nirain and Gun sez. Five dollars haint
that purty high ftp fellers in their
right mind; but let er go here she is;
so he fetehes out a five and lays it
down in the trough and we crawls in
end cover up head and ears with sum
old shucks and sinks off tu sleep. Mr.
Warliek fount! us at feeding time, and
roported us to the officers who come
to our rescue. Wasn’t that a purty fix
fur two of the moat respectable men
of Casar tu be found in, fur thar we
wuz sound asleep with a big fat hog
