row and myself, and while he
may have a tough time in keep
ing the nations of the earth

more warrents and marry more
boys and girls, and have more
babies named after me than he
will. These babies will make
soldiers, and they may be need

the good work go on.

was to have been married last
Sunday, but like a good many

possum hunting with some other
boys on Saturday night before.
Says his sister in a note, and
after catching two or three good
fat ones, was cming home when
they found a bee tree, not far
from the house. The tree was
soon cut down, and then came
the fight, for this particular fam
ily of bees were of good, fight
ing stock, nd bout a dozen of
the best stingers got on Reubens
face. An hour afterwai'd his
eyes were closed and his face
swollen until it resembled the
full moon. Fannie Lindsey, the
girl he was to marry, told him
at 10 o’clock that she couldn’t
marry a man with such a face,
and the wedding was put off un
■ til Reuben could get his face in
proper shape.
