he was not a praying man, he got a
Kroad axe that wasiu the room and
swore in whispers that the momeut
the robber showed his head he
would split him from appetite to
breakfast. The robber was under
the bouse,and seemed to be trying
the weak places in the flooring.
The gentlemen guarded the house
bravely all night, and at the first
streak of day went out with their
weapons all cocked aud primed to
capture the robber, dead or alive.
When captured be was still under
the house, fastened by the horns,
and when taken out it was bard to
tell which was the most relieved,
the young men or the calf.
We have got our old plantation
bell home again, and we often feel
like embracing it the same as we
would one nf the fashionable belles
who wear their frocks so low that
it is necessary to gallus them up.
The old bell has quite a history .
During the late unpleasantness be
tween the states, my mother bad it
sent on to Richmond, Va., to be
molded into cannon for the Con
federate service. The Secretary of
War, knowing that the end of the
great struggle was near at hand,
ordered it .sent back. Although
the whole country was more*de-
moralized than it is in this day of
railroad strikes, yet wonderful to
relate, this old soldier bell, after
many wanderings, found its way
back home, and its sweet silvery
toues will again be heard iu tips
land of “git up and git, nigger, or
no meat'.”
We regret to lose onr good
neighbors, Mr. and Mi’s. C. A.

their new home beyond Perry.
