The society gentleman won the stake, a drumhead cabbage, which was rallied oil’ for the benefit of the moumenl fund, bringing .$2.45.

SL ire more rich in these shining examples than Carroll. Her annals are fairly aglow with them. In his heyday none cut a wider swath in his baili wick than did Mike Summerlin. He had taken his degrees at the State University, which fact added luster to the ebullitions of a droll mind. Like many other men who had stored their minds with the subtleties of Latin, Greek, mathematics, and "high pro nouns.” he elected to follow a bucolic life and waste his acquired knowledge in "abusing God’s patience and the King’s English” by cussin’ the "coons" and “poor white trash” in his vicinity. His was a shrill, drawling voice, not unlike that of a nocturnal feline serenader. Mr. Summerlin nev er lost an opportunity to display the magnitude of his vocabulary, which was invariably garnished with "oaths profane.” Of course, he had an ambi tion to excel his neighbors in the • pro duction of big crops, and thus display a supposed scientific knowledge of farm ing. The State Fair Association had, as usual, offered a number of prizes for the largest yield of different pro ducts—among others, a prize for the best acre of sorghum. Mr. Summerlin had an ideal acre—a kind of second: “bottom,” rich in alluvial deposits.— which, with nature’s beneficent endow ment'and divers and sundry scrapings from barnyard and stables, generous ly supplemented with guano, was sown to sorghum. Its growth was phenom enal and the production marvelous. Lt was said of the growing can* by an ob servant neighbor: "It was so thick and tall that chickens invaded its fast nesses and went wild, and the darkness was so intense within its borders that lightning-bugs held flashlight parties at noon-tide.” The cane ripened, the syrup-mill was put to work, and 425 gallons of syrup was made, and a con siderable pile remained — enough to make 50 or 75 gallons more. On evening, as the syrun-makers were stewing the juicy exudations of the cane into beautiful amber-hued long- sweetening, a gang of ’possum hunters (half a dozen in number) appeared on the scene, led by one Goodboy Whitney, the moat unregenerate sinner on either side of the river. As is usual on such occasions, the visitant chasers of the shame-faced marsupial chewed cane while they gossiped. The bagasse from their jaws was strewn around in promiscuous profusion, which gave the unground pile of cane the appearance of being half-devoured by hogs, but in ooint of fact but little of the cane had been eaten. Mr. Summerlin came down the following morning and sized up the situation. He was boiling over with rage and indignation as he gazed upon the havoc the ’possum hunters had wrought on his cane. He emphasized the volcano of wrath that was surging within as he belched forth, "Stop! Draw that blankety blank fire! Don't measure another blankety blank gallon of syrup! I shall never go to the State [ Fair asking a premium for the rem nant of a crop that those blankety blank ’possum hunters have annihila ted.” The next day Mr. Summerlin met Goodboy Whitley and delivered to him this rebuke: “Goodboy, you have subverted my prospects to win from an aggregation of honorable competitors a much-coveted premium on my phe nomenal yield of syrup from one acre. Had a drove of cows, hogs, horses or elephants assailed the cane the havoc could not have been more complete.
