I‘in thirty nine years old, have one child, own a good farm and 1 want a wife. Will you go homo with me ? ■She leaned on the axe and ’(Hik ed at .him for half a minute, and then replied: ‘Can't say (or certain, -rust wait, lid 1 get these coons oft my mind. 1 She sent llie tree crushing-to llie earth, and with Ins help killed live coons, which wore stowed away ia n hollow. ‘Well, wlmt do you say f‘ lie said as the last coon stopped kick ing. ‘l'm yourn, was the reply,' ‘and by .he time you get back from l)e Wiu I'll have lhose pelts oil and lacked up and be ready for the I preacher ! lie relumed to the bouse, told the old folks that he should bring a preacher back wiih him, and at dusk that evening the twain „ere married.
