BT A. B. C., OF KONTOOMERY, ALA.
lu the snotl oM limes, when “ w hite
men did the votintr,” anti SlierifTs were
elected by the people, there lived in
Pickens County, Alabama, a big henr
ied fellow named Jess. Bryan, who was
Sheriff of that County i t 1849-50 ;
elected over B. G. McAllister, the next
popularest man,, in Pickens.
Jess, owed his election, in a grpat de
gree. to his inimitable .manner oftelling
stories, one of which we will now give
aromising that very much of the inter
est of the story consists in Ills rich and
racy style of telling it.
But before telling th,e they as told by
Jesse, we will tel! one on him, for the
■ t if ...
truth of which, a hundred living men in
Pickens will vouch.
V V, ■
Duringr th3 canvass for the Sheriffal
iy in 1849, Bryan and McAllister, the
contending candidates, were both dep
uties of the then Sheriff, the late YV,
11. Davis, Each was a first.rate dep
uty, and each strove, by strict and
prompt attention to business, to prove
to the voters that the mantle of Mr.
Davis should fall on his shoulders.
At the Spring 'Perm, 1849, of the
Circuit Court, tlie last term before tlie !
election, the Hon. Samuel Chapman. |
presided as Judge. When the dinner
hour arrived on the first day of the !
Court, he directed the Sheriff to ad- I
jotirn the Court until three o’clock
e. M.
Here was a chance for Jesse. Bor
rowing a watch from a friend, lie took
his scat at the window next to the bo
ol, at half-past two, watch in hand.
Precisely at three p. m. , Jesse, in
dating his lungs to their utmost capne
ty, cried at the full extent of his sono
rous voice:— The lion Samuel Clap
man IT nv. IIoN. Samuel Chapman ! !
THE IIQiVf. SAMUEL CHAPMAN!!
Come into COURT ! ! !
The crowd at once repaired to tire
Court House, and after some minutes
the Judge, the bench, tlie Sheriff and
all his deputies being present, Willi
his most affable smile, the Judge said;
“Mr. Sheriff, who called me at the win
dow just now V \
Jesse, anticipating a complimoo. from
the Judge for his promptness, stepped
to the front with all the iirace of Pro
fessor McDonald, at his Friday even
ing soirees—
“l called you. Judge, I, Jesse W.
Bryan, Deputy Sheriff.”
“WeM, Mr* Jesse W. Bryan Deputy
Sheriff,” replied the Judge, ‘-bear this
in mind, if you ever call me into Court
again, while I am presiding as Judge, to
jail you go.”
Jesse was crest fallen. Like Jonah’s
gourd he wilted, but soon recovering,
lie replied: “J.ndge, it is true 1 called
you, but that fool McAllister told me to
do so, and :1S he is tlie oiliest deputy 1
had to obey him.”
r J’his incident made Jesse a huudred
votes. But to our story.
It was during the canvass, at a bar
becue on Nubbin Ridge ; the dinner was
over, and the crowd smoking their

eaily and too hot to start home, and hv

story.
“Mfell, boys,” said Jesse, *!so»ne

a crowd moving out to Grange Grove ;
1 joined it, and learned that a match
fight was about to come off between Jim
Rurguss’ bull dog and a tame bear, fur
five hund.ret^ dollars a side, one hundred
forfeit. .
“As soon as the ring was formed,
lire dog was turned loose at the bear,
and after one round you’d belter be

could make him clinch again, so Bur

“Just as the crowd was about »<*< re

Chiekasahay, who was the owner of a
big, bony, stump tailed cur dog. and
nothing else, sung out: ‘l’ll be denied
if Cash* can’t taTte lhat bar.’
“What will you bet on thai?” said
the owner of tlie bear.
“I’ll go mV pile,” said raw bones, j
and drawing out oi his pouch the loot;
of an old "stocking, he shelled out liven - J

"Now.gentlemen,” shouted Clii< ka

nobody goes inter this ring hut me and i
Cash, and the bar, and nobody ain’t

This was agreed to, and the bear
being muzzled, the word was given.
‘Jjook out. Cash ! Mind ycr eyes !
Watch him'Cash !* cried Cash's master
as Cash, with a prudent regard for his
own welfare, kept at a respectful dis
tance, his bristies standing up like the
teeth of a harrow. As soon as Cash
had taken a Position a little to the rear
of his foe, and out of the reacli of his
paws, his master yelled ‘take him Cash
With one bound Cash seized tl<e poor

his body side by side with the bear, so
lhat the latter could not possibly bite or
strike him.

dog shook his foe until the bear’s teeth
fairly chattered with pain and rage.—
Still Cash, by keeping yard arm and

free from a scratch,
Tlie owner of tlie bear, seeing that
the hear could not bring his arms to
bear, could not hear to see Cash hear
the hear to his bier in such a barefaced
manner, so lie threw up the sponge, and
gave up the day.
‘You guv* it up!’ says our man.—

‘That’S a right pearl bar,’said Chick

“That's a lie !’ said the discomfited
owner of the bear, ‘you never saw a
