BUNION BOTTS’ MISHAP.
A yoUKTAIK ST02Y.
Written for The News.
rijHE HERO of thi* sketch e-
P joiced in the name of Bunion
Botts; and as this cognomen is
rather peculiar we shall explain
how he happened parents to bear’it.
Tho of Bunion,
many others who live in the Blue
Ridge mountains of Northeast
Georgia, had a largo family, con-
sisting of seventeen children,
en of whom were boys. When a
little Botts first made its appear-
ftnce in that housohoh! it was a.
once named Jeems Henry, for
its father an<l after that event for
sixteen consecutive years it be-
came necessary to lies tow a name
upon a new edition of Botts. The
first four were named, respectively,
Jeems Henry, Mary Ann, John
Thomas and* Sarv Jane, but tin
task of selecting names had to |>e
undertaken so frequently and Hitch
a large wupplv was needed, that
Mr. and Mrs. Botts gave to tin
others only one name, and even
then they had a “Will” and a
“Bill” and a “Mary Ann” and a
“Mollie.”
When the seventeenth Botts
scion opened his eyes to the light
his parents had about exhausted
their vocabulary of names, am
were at a loss as to what they
should call him. When this small¬
est offspring was two years old h<
was commonly addressed a;-
“Babe,” and his mother deter¬
mined that he must b»* named.
“Jeems Henry,” remarked she t<
her husband, “this sliere chile lias
got ter have er name er sum sort
an’ ez I reggen he’s ther last ’un.
lees name ’im sump’n sorter fancy
lack.”
Mr. Botts was willing that hi-
youngest should have “er hifalutii
trimmin’,” as he expressed it, but
no name proposed seemed exactly
suitable. About fourteen or fif¬
teen of the children spent much o‘
their time in trying to think of t
pretty name for their smallest
brother, and Mrs. Botts won
her “studden cap,” as she called
her thoughtful mood, almost con¬
tinually.
Matters remained in this condi¬
tion for a week, when one night
Bill, a robust boy of 10, who was-
attending school at Tiger Creek
school house, was studying aloud
his spelling lesson by a pine knot
fire. With a lightwood splinter
he pointed at each letter and call¬
ed it loudly and laboriously.
Finally ho spelled, “b-u-n, bun.
i- 0 - 11 , yun—bunion.”
“Less name Babe that,” suggest¬
ed little Mollie; “hitsouns pooty.”
“That’s, er fack,” added Mrs.
Botts, “hit does soun’ rat sniptious
—Bunion Botts—them two names
goes mighty well tergether.”
“I never heered tell er nobody
bein’ named Bunion,” remarked
Mr. Botts, “but hit’s in ther spellin'
book, an’ I reggen hit’s er good
name. We’uns has been develod
er heap tryin’ ter name ther little
raskil, so less jes’ call ’im Bunion
an’ l»e done with it.”
This proposition seemed to meet
with general approval, and after
awhile Bunion learned to answer
to his name.
At the time of the opening of our
story Bunion was a gawky youth
of 17, and very unprepossessing in
appearance. He was just six feet
tall, and built on the narrow-gauge
plan, his weight being 111 pounds.
His J eves were g irrav in color verv
*
small . and , set , closely , , U . get her lik*
an o possum s, and they were cross-
ed. His small head was covered
with coarse red hair, his nose was
shaped like that of a prize pug.
his thin face was freckled like 1
turkey egg, and his mouth * “ •
immense and contained a
bundance of teeth called by his
companions “tushes.” His arms
were long ° and dangled * about
t ie> were strung Oil too loosely,
and his legs were, to use the words
of his brother Bill, “so spindlin'
thev inej jes ies’ had naa ter ter come come together tttrgether at -,t
ther knees ter bract, thers^lves an'
l-nnn keep trom frnm kmol-in’ Dreakin l IWHlaciously i. • , m •
two.” In short, Bunion was verv
*
knock-kliet^fl. His feet were huge,
audit was a good thing for the
family that he never wore shws
*
except in . very cold ,, weather , and , ,K‘-
casionally tor a little while Oil
Sunday. And he was left-handed.
But Of c i being • far - from -
A 111 spite

*
means displeased , . with . . his . . physical .
inake-up, but like many other
‘‘"“v'y «L ,h r Tr Ii,,e
gender, thought that, while not
handsome, lie was “dtvilish fasci-
Dating.' , *
Now,the nearest neighbors of the
Botts was the family of (Jr. \V.
Kitchens, who lived about two
miles distant oil the other side of
the mountain. Kitchens was a
,nan in easy circumstances, but In-
lived in a douirfir log cabin with a
porch in front, and put on no airs,
He had saved up about $300 in sil-
ver and gold, which he placed in
.h™ yarn springs an.. ,n, in
the house. One of these he had
aonceal.-d under a rock in the
hearth, one ... a corner of the mat-
tress h<* slept on and the other one
under a log in the eaves of the
house. He lived in constant dread
of being ......Bed, and slept with a
double-barrel shot gun h-aning
against the bed-post. Several
times he had been awakened by
suspicious noises and had gotten up
in the dead hours of the night and
discharged Ins gun to scare otl
some imaginary robber.
The only child of Kitchens
a girl of 10 named Kizzie, in truth,
a buxom mountain maiden. Her
1151,1 was * ,lack ' ,u ‘ r “yes were the
same color and there was a bloom
upon her cheeks like that of a June
apple. She was large in stature
ind quite fleshy, tipping the beam
it 200 pounds.
In the opinion of Bunion Botts
til the physical charms and
graces of manner peculiar to
ninity were embodied in her; she
filled his eye completely. Blit
i here is nothing strange 0 about that,
for Bunion s eye was quite small
ind Kizzie’s proportions were not
sylph-like; she could even hav<
filled his long arms. They had
nine to school 1 , together, . , 1 and , at-
lie Botts children passed by
the Kitchens’ home on their way t<
Tiger (’reek, Bunion, during tin
few months I 10 was a schoolboy,
hml ... embraced , numerous opportu- 1
11
ilities to give surreptitiously t<
Kizzie big mellow apples and fim
peaches. Ami the conceited fel-
low had an idea that Kizzie re-
garth-d him with especial favor.
That is to say, he thought s<
sometimes, and at other times In
wasn’t so sure about it, fora neigh¬
boring lad about his own age, Josh
Wiggins by name, had a hankering,
too, for Kizzie. Whenever Bun¬
ion saw Kizzie looking at Josh la¬
wns desperately jealous, but if.
while the green-eyed monster had
possession of him, Kizzie turned
her black orbs upon him, his
jealousy vanished immediately and
his heart throbbed wildly with
fond hope.
On account of a spirit of rivalry
existing between them. Bunion ami
Josh were not intimate, and when
at school they often made cutting
remarks to each other. Josh called
Bunion “Bunnie,” because he “had
er head jes’lack er squll,an’ er cat
squll at that.” Bunion spent many
hours in trying to devise some
means of getting even with Josh.
And one morning ho slipped ovei
to Tiger Creek school house about
daylight, and with a piece of chalk
drew a caricature of Josh, which
represented that individual at full
speed, with another boy, armed
with a stick, in pursuit, and
wrote underneath the following
lines:

In the mountains it u is l!? no no lin un *
common thing for couples to mar-
rv when the girls ar«* 15 or 10 and
the boys 19 or 20. Though but
18, Bunion thought that he was
sufficientlv old to ^Ided enter tlm -t-.t
of w«llook, and hn
himself of the first opportunity tu
broach the subject of matrimony
to Kizzie.
The chance came soon. It was
Christmas time and there was to
lie a dance at a neighbor’s. Some
of the B.„ts girls and hoys
used to call by for Kizzie on tin
eventful night, anil they would
walk together to the parly.
Bunion was carefully arrayed for
the occasion. He wore a copperas
colored suit ot home-made jeans
and a black wool shirt fastened in
front with red cords. His hair
was soaked with water and soaped
till it lav fiat and sleek upon his
little head, and Ills lace was wash-
and rubbed until it shone like
a new tin bucket. His number 11
brogans were well greased
hml, and between the tops of them
and the bottoms of his high-water
pants then 1 seemed to be a feud of
long standing. As a sort of
between these articles of apparel
were a pair of yellow woolen socks,
When the Botts crowd reached
Kizzie’s home she came out
meet them resplendent, 1 in • a pmk • 1
calico dress, a yellow tie and blue
ribbon upon her hair. They all
walked in a group to the party,two
*
miles distant.
The “frolic, . as it was called
was a dance of the most noisy or-
der. There was no waltzing,
the old-fashioned “kertillion" was
indulged • * , , in. * «,r, While the ,, tiddler /.111
sawed away on “Billy m the
ground, “Cotton Eyed Joe” and
"Soap Suds against the Fence,”tlu
couples arranged themselves and
went through the figures as lustily
yelled out by the “caller.” They
‘balanced partiners, swung corntl-
ers, sashayed, swung objeck pard-
ners,” etc., and made a noise like
a cyclone.
r 1 „. he floor ,, groaned . and . sagged, 1 and ,
. he ‘ jists trembled . ... overhead, , hut the
;
fun continued. The one who made tin*
most noise was considered the best
dancer. Kizzie exerted herself until
the perpiration streamed down her
ruddy cheeks. One set Bunion danced
with kizzie, and during this . he . askeu ,

The dance concluded about mid-
night, . ” , ^ arul , the , guests 0 started j. , home ,
Bunion by the side of Kizzie. They
did not walk arm-i 11-arm, hut occasion¬
ally when going over a rocky place
they would touch each other,and Bun¬
ion would he filled with eestacy. Hi.-
brothers and sisters walked just ahead,
and he was afraid to say anything of a
tender nature, but determined that he
o^)iiId do so that night.
The Kitchens homestead was about
one hundred yards from the road, and
as Bunion and Kizzie started toward.-
the house, while the others waited in
the road for him, the heart of that
youth heat like a sledge hammer. Hall
the distance had been traversed in si¬
lence, when Bunion desperately resolv¬
ed to unbosom himself, llis knock-
knees smote together so that he could
scarcely walk, hut in an unnatural and
husky tone he said, “Kizzie?”
“What?” she asked.
“I wants ter—errer—ax you’uns

“All right; ax erway.”
“I jes’thought I’d—errer—ax you’uns

Kizzie, “I lacks you’uns purty well.”

older citizens of oar town often recall
this ,. circumstance, and , chuckle , to them-
st q ves w | u . n t j, e y renipuiber how
j-allagher -let 'er go.”
About eighteen years ago, soon after
clie Atlanta A < liarlotte railroad had
oeen completed, the money 111 the
treasury ol this . road about
was ex¬
, iaustelL Bills were left unpaid, ami
employes found it difficult to draw
sufficient wages to pay their board
bills. The road was badly Involved
and in a shaky condition.
About this time a certain man living
near here, to whom the Atlanta A
Charlotte was considerably indebted,
leeided that lie would have hi money,
m lie sued the road, through Col. lien
; lamp, of Carnesville, uml obtained a
judgment. B it tile question arose,
now eould , , he , make , , his . money out ol
idle road? After much cogitating he
decided that the quickest way to pro-
duce the desired result would be to
have an engine attached. Accordingly
the papers were turned over to Ben
Dooley—who was a constable at that
. , but . who , has been , dodging ...
rime, ® eon-
stables nearly ever since—with the
hwtruotion that Iw levy on the first
engine that ^ stopped t , here, ,
Dooley v proceeded . , to . do , he ,
as WR S
told, and when the next passenger
train stopped here he drew his papers
and took charge of the engine. Mark
Twain’s cow was very much attached
to her home by means of a trace-chain,
and Dooley used the same means to
make the engine become attached to
Toecoa, chaining the wheels.
Now,tile man who pulled the throt¬
tle on the tied-up locomotive, was a
big Irishman name 1 Gallagher, who
was highly incensed at this unusual
proceeding, and let slip a few forceful
‘ cuss” words. Finding that this plan
wouldn’t work, he stepped into the
telegraph office and poured his tale of
woe into the ear of the operator a id
begged him to trails nit the sa il * to
Capt. B. Y. Sage, the superinten leni
of transportation, in Atlanta, and ask
for instructions.
In a short time this telegram from
the superintendent was handed to the
perplexed engineer :
“Get on yoni- engine hack her as fur as
you can, turn on the steam and let her go
Gal’.agluT.”
Gallagher obeyed orders, and when
lie “let her go” the chains were broken
and the train started rapidly towards
Atlanta.
The railroad men began saying, “L -t
'er go, Gallagher,” and soon the ex-
pression was taken up by others until
it had been scattered all over the
c mntry.
Doubtless many who have often said,
“Let’er go, Gallagher,” will learn its
origin by reading this article.
