THE COVINGTON NEWS, WED NESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1910.
R. W. B’s. Lament.
Covington, Ga., Sept. 14, 1910.
Editors Covington News:
Here are some dogerel lines writ¬
ten 38 years ago. Mrs. Lucy Bagby
Speer has asked me to reproduce
them. Many other of your citizens
have made the same request.
“Reb and Ruby” were pointer dogs
that some one had poisoned. “Gus”
was a very dull negro who drove the
cows to pasture, riding “Charley.”
“Shaw” was a brave ex-Confederate,
but was at that time, one of John
Barlay Corn’s victims. Lucy, Bob’s
goden-hearted daughter was the
“no boy.”
1 was in her home last week and
met her husband there, and I feel
sure that he at least was glad that
the dainty little emigrant that left
St. Peter’s charge thirty-eight sum¬
mers ago was not of the sex that
her dear father coveted.
It is not necessary to add that
the words are void, of even a trace
of literary merit. They may be inter¬
esting in a slight degree only, be¬
cause, in a very limited way, they
ard commemorative of the beautiful
eccentricities of my sweet-hearted,
dear old vanished friend, Robert W.
iBagby....
Chemists say that felspar quartz
and mica united make granite. Pa¬
triotism, honesty and a heart over¬
flowing with the milk of human
kindness constitute the noble man.
L;ku| Nellie, BJy of the sweet old
son®, Bob Bagby
“Had a heart warm as a cup of tea,'
And bigger than a sweet potato
down in Tennessee.”
He was one of nature’s noblemen.
An oblique dollar never soiled his
clean hands, and not a single false¬
hood ever stained his pure tongue.
Farewell, dear old Bob.
“Oh how cruelly sweet are the
echoes that start,
When memory plays an old tune on
) the heart.”
IVERSON A. JONES.
Grim fortune dire has on me come
With all his might and main,
And not content with pointer dogs
Has struck with force again.
When faded was the morning star,
And Sol hiis glories shed
Gus dragged him down a sloping hill.
To bivouac with the dead.
Oh, I was born, I koow not why,
'On an unlucky day.
It matters not what beast I have,
Too soon it goes away.
On last December’s chilly night,
Ere the hour was late,
My wel beloved Charley horse
Shuffled off his mortal state.
He was a horse of some renoun,
iNot on the field of battle,
But other things has Charley done:
Gus on him drove the cattle.
On summer’s scorching day
In the long, long sultry hours
Poor creature could not move his tail
To brush the flies away.
’Tis true his tail was broke into,
’Tis true his back was swayed,
But by St. Paul a better horse
For fodder never neighed.
He, while other horses frolicked gay
And in his stable hard, by the church.
As he for fodder reached
Heard many a sermon preached.
About what had gone with Abraham
When he the victory won,
And how no mortal cast a stone
At her, the evil one.
And if the devil had his dues,
Judged by the moral law,
What would become of preaching now
And what would go with Shaw.
From the day of Charley’s death,
It scarce had been a week
Before a cursed stump-tailed mule
Kicked me upon the cheek.
Befort the day of Charley’s death,
And Reb’s and Ruby’s too, *
Except that cursed cotton trade,
I, trouble never knew.
I have with dream-like pleasure sweet
Built castles in the air, ^ "
- -
Where roses grace the river’s bank
And bloom in beauty three.
And by the crystal river’s bank
I’ve sat me down to think,
And sweet memory’s golden chain
Grew longer link by link.
Now hurried are the fowers that
bloomed.
Beneath the frost and snow,
Nor can I hear a single bird,
Nor does the river flow.
Now silence sits in faded bowers
Where sweet the robin sung,
Whither the beach’s clustered leav es
That o’er the river hung.
Again fate sent the curtain up„
A tragedy to show;
For Juno In travel around I . 1
Gave me another blow.
Then still to make my troubles wolrse.
My pleasures to alloy;
Consistent with my former fate
My baby was no boy. , I
frown |
But I’ll not care for fate’s co?d
I got a dog at Lee’s today,
Nor will I trouble borrow; \
And I’ll bay & borne tonorrav. ^ }
