M. THOMPSON’S WEEKLY LETTER ~ IN the summer of the year 1867 the \ “overseer” of that part of the Jef ferson and Jug Tavern road that lay wholly in Chandler's district warned his hands to meet at or near where Ad Mattox now lives. They later worked as far toward Jug Tavern as the Cren shaw place. The overseer met and looked around and found he had a goodly bunch, Jno. Parker, John Graham, Wess Graham, Elija Lay, Guss Collins, James Col lins, Jo Collins, Ed Owens, James Ful cher, Dave Fulcher, Jess Fulcher, Cam Lyle, Bit Lyle, Louis Moseley, Jack Haynie, Lee J. Johnson, James M. Johnson, Richard L. Johnson, Tip Mc- Elhannon, Jack McElhannou, Will Mc- Ellmnnon, Dave and Hugh Hancock, Jack and James Finch, Jackson Chan dler, George and Tom Black, A. C. Thompson, Whites Bill Mangum. The colored were: John and Lindsay Collins, Han Moore, Taylor Millsnps, Prince McElhannon, Arch Warsham, Code Millsapps and Harrison Flanigan. Maybe others. This road working business was not as it now each person over 16 years old had to work enough to put the roads in good condition and if it was neglect ed the grand jury had a right to indict each overseer who failed in his duty. This gang went to work with hoe, shovel, pick and axe. Many were the jokes cracked and many were the pranks played on each other as they toiled on from day to day. They began at the Houses and Chandlers line and worked through the district to Chan dler and Jefferson district line at the old Phelps place. Many lived so far that they carried their dinners like school children and it kept one or two of the hands busy moving coats, buckets and such like. Now, when a lot ®f men meet and mingle as had to it was a pretty pleasant affair if no one got his dander up but if someone got his feelings hurt, you might look for blood. There are in most bodies of men two factions and in joking or yarn telling each had his laughing friend, so it was in case of disputes each had his friend or foe. Now, with this road gang all had gone well until they crossed the Mulberry river as they labored up this hill jok ing got to a serious point. Probably a question of ku klux and in this body of men there were several. One Harri son Flanigan, a pretty impudent negro said some unkind words about ku klux and that he was not afraid of them. Those K. Ks. knew each other and that some whites and all the darkies were on side with Harrison. They la bored on getting madder and had reached the flat in front of the John R. Hancock home. The bubble was ready for the bursting. Harrison’s fiitig at the Ku Klux brought James Collins to a fight heat. He knocked Harrison in the head with a hoe. Har rison was carried home. It looked like a riot.' The overseer dismissed his hands un til the next day. They returned hut with guns stacked ready for the ne groes who threatened vengeance. Thus they worked the road out with guns by theirj sides. , Now a joke like this was played on some sleepy headed fellow; very likely the story is true; in the parties I give below: Many years ago W. Jack Jones lived south of Beech Creek and worked land near the Widow Wilson farm. Judson Willoughby, our Jud, farmed at his mother’s. Jack and Jud often met and joked. Jack’s home was a mile or more off, so he carried his dinner and mule feed and at noon hour fed his mule, ate his dinned and slept. One day .Tud came along found the mule and Jack resting. Jack sound asleep. Jud picked up the plow gear, made a stampede over Jack, hallow ing “Woa,! Woa!” Jack arose hallow ing woa also, his eyes bulging out of |uß head like new moons. It was some time before Jack could get his bearings and locating the disturbance when he did he saw Jud some twenty or thirty yards away laughing to be at a magpie. Jack told Jud in no soft words what he would do for him, and began to think of some prank to even up with Jud.

Deafen me to the jingle of tainted money and to the rustle of unholy skirts. Mind me to the faults of the other fellow, but reveal to me my own.

Keep me young enough to laugh with little children and sympathetic enough to be considerate of old age.
