Oh whete in the dickens is my shot-gun nc how? . ' A Tale Of Woe By Unde Joe Unde Joe was down at our hour? last Sabbath ruminating about the. good old times of "way bacs yon der.' He deplores the changes that have taken place and finds himself yearning for the sight of an ash-hopper and longs to attend one more log rolling and a corn , shucking. But there aint any logs any more to roll and nobody makes enough corn to keep a bunch of huskies shucking same more than 10 minutes. TJncle Joe remembers when hU daddy ueter keep a bottle of toddy (Yes, that’s what he called It) sitting on the tire-board all the time, and it wasn’t used during those times to get drunk on and raise the dickens; it was just put there tor a fellow to take a swal low or two ot it when his throat got dry and his stummick seemed bordering onto weakness. He seeirs to think that some refreshment.? would help the country to appre ciate its apparent prosperity. It is true that times have chang ed, but I didn't know that nature had been so affcctea as Uncle Jot claims. H* and his brother Jack caught a possum over in Qeorgli once that weighed 184 pounds and he said it was nothing unusual to trap a mink In the henhouse tha' was 6 feet long. He was an ex pert at squirrel shooting and as ■'ammernatlon" was rather scace, he would always line 8 or 10 squir rels on a tree and shoot ’em all at one time. The highest he ever brought down at one shot was 19, so he said. Uncle Joe called our attention to another thing that seemed quite pertinent. He told us that he and all his folks wore a little bag cf asafoetida (for fear that some folks wont know what 1 am talk ing about* 1 will explain that the uaid bag contained assy-fidity. a drug famous for its odoriferroiis ncs$> around their necks from the time they learned to crawl till they graduated in the blue back spelling book at ‘ in-com-pre-hen-sl bil-i-ty." and they never caught any disease of any kind. Now every body has everything anybody else has 2 days after they get'it. Uncle Joe swore that the cows gave better buttermilk when he was a boy. He recalled that old Spot" permitted 6 gallons of the finest, lacteal fluid ever to be ex tracted from her udder every morn ing and every night and th'.s "neated" from 7 to 9 pounds of butter. <Siic fed the calf also in the manner provided by nature. . and this took at least an extra gal lon*. The bee tree he and t).s cousin robbed one December con tained enough honey to fill 3 wash pots and 2 tubs and they gave the neighbors aplenty to last them till Christmas. Uncle Joe quit talking whet^ Atmi Minervy cane cut ar.d sat down near him. and before I knew It ne bad dozed off to sleep iBcumiy B OF WEEK Music School On ricnic. Revival Meeting Is On.
