JAKE TATTLER AS A REFORMER.
Mb, Kmtok:—A reformation has took
place in this family. You see there were
too many parties in my family to suit me.
There was nty wife, Jcrusha Jam*,* she
was the Itepublieaii party, who wants to
rule everything. My daughter. Ini .-e :
Aim. was the Democrat party, which is !
just like the republican party, only it j
ain’t got as much power by a long shot.
Then there arc the "kids,” who are the
Prohibition party, that is, they don’t j
have much say; so they don’t’mount to
much. Lastly but not leastly, there is
the Third party, which same is me, Jake !
Tattler, to-wit: Namely.
Now you see, Mr. Editor, just how so
many parties always keep up a ’situ
bance. So, I showed your poetry and ad
vice to Jerusha Jane and Patience Ann
and told ’em there's just got to be a
change made right now, and it was the
great Third party’s (dial's me) place to
bring about said change. Yes-sir-ree.
1 told them we would take your advice
and live more on “corn and ale,” or
"conger-eel,” or wliatsnmever that big
"u-innn.v-kn.ss word that was,you used,
1 never could understand such big words
without ‘•roastin’” on a "dickshunnry
all night, w Inch same I toigot to flo last
night. I believe Moses calls it a
sionarv,” but then Moses is only a nigger,
anyhow, and don’t know nothin’, and,
and allers did. Niggers are alters miss
spellin’ and mispronouncin’ words.
Say, Mr. Editor, liow did you ever
come to write such tnrnal nice, party and
sublime poetry? Did you and your Je
rn. ha Jane fall out, or did you git some
one else to write it?
Well, by burly. I’m wanderin' from the
subjiek.
Well, when I told 'em a reform was
“iusooperly” necessary, they studied it
over very careful like and said we’d go to
Electin' fust and they would decide af¬
terwards. We went to meetiu’ and the
parson told how a scoldin’ woman would
bring a dark, gloomy cloud of misery and
sin on a household, and cause woo-be
gone. sinkiu’ and ugly foehn's u> get hold
•on us. I toll you. Mr. Editor, that par¬
son knowed what he was talkin’ about.
It set Jerusha Jane to tln'nkir’ right
smart, but she didn’t let the parson walk
home with her, nor I did’t wink at any of
the tarnal gals, either. IVell, when we
arrovo at home, Jerusha Jane smiled at
me real sweet like, and said, “Jakey,
dear, if you won’t write about me am
il lore. I’ll he just as good as ever 1 kin
he.” Says 1, “All right, me darlin’,that’s
a bargain,” and then I kissed her just as
hard as ever J could.
Now, Mr. Editor, [ain’t never go in’ to
give Jerusha Jane away in your paper
any more. A man what will write about
his-wife when she’s good to him, is as
menu ns tho Tallapoosa hog law. You
se here at Tallapoosa, if a hog goes tip to
town they put him in the “kallybuse.”
They don't keer if it, u a nice, respectable
hog, they put him right up along with
old mean, razor-backed pine root splitters
what has noses so long they can reach
through a fence crack and root up the ta
tors in the fourth row. When they git
’em in the “kallybuse” they send word to
the owner to come and make bond for’em
mid if the owner don't make bond for
’em, they git some one else to go on the
“»'l '■'»> "'“.VS'' 1 l>“S A -M>
bond. Now I call that down-right agre
gioits mean. I do, by burly.
Now. I* Mr. Editor, I will have to tel! you
,w (the third party) reformed mv
v'in <1 uiglitei, liter i l’-tienco alienee Aim. Dm You ion fete see l’ i a i-! ,
ticuco Ann has been wantin’ me to
her an “orfuu” or a “sorgun” or what ev- |
er vou call tliese tiunal things whichgrils j
pound on with their lingers and call it!

moosick. I told her if she would behave
herself and jine the third party I would
buy her one. or burst a suspender. She
proinised all right, and by huily, Mr. Ed
itor, 1’mgoin’to git it foe her, too. j j
love moosick somewhat myself. It’s a ;
great thing, Mr Editor.
Moosick hath charms to soothe a savage;
To rend a, rock or burst a cabbage.
Them is fny sentiments egzactly. When !
my pa tience Aim learns to play real good, I
come down and see me, Mr. Editor, and;
\ve will lur a jamboree VM ioil you
though, none of the young spi n of boVP
lta<! better come foolin’ round RaU ice
A ini, nii 'ss they arc as.party as i smI .
«... b A , ; ft,hey do, I'll just be doggmied
if ! <:.■ At warp their now suspenders Of
’ei 1. will, by burly.
N ow, Mr. Editor, Fvo done told yon ill
about my success as a reformer. Don't
you think I've did some prety good work?
I don’t know how long it will last, but
I’ll say this much, that if it breaks louse
again like it was, you’ll be likely to hear
somethin’ drap. Now, you just listen
and sec. 1 tell you the Third party (which
is tlie Mon. Col. Jake Tattler) is going
to-rule. The other parties may
and splutter and kick like a “bay steer,”
but that won't do’em a mito of good.
'cause I':n goiu’ to rule the roost and be
“eoclc of the walk,” by burly,
Say, All. Editor, what lias become of
some of your old writers? Are they run
niugfroiu the stock law? Tell them to
write some more.
Jake Tattler.
P. S. If you know of anybody that
needs reformin’, send ’em to me.
.. say, J T alee, , you will have to give an ex
planation of that word "jamboree” if
y OU %V( >uld have us to visit you—
don’t know whether wo want any of that
ours or not. ’Spose you arc "roasted"

Economy of the IVa Family of Plants.
This family of plants is larger than the
most of us are aware of, and this coni
nuuriention will he on tho bread and but
tor order. It. will be interesting to the
farmers.
Thirty years ago when the forest was
covered with these useful plants, fresh
lands would yield good crops of wheat,
but by over stocking the range and burn
ing the woods in the spring and failing to
plant the tame pea, wheat crojis have
Come to an end, and our virgin soil is be
coming sterile each year, and will
the stock is taken off and give these use¬
ful plants a chance to grow and nutrify
the soil.
I have identified ten nitrogen secreting
wild plants in the woods. Some are ann¬
uals hiid some are peretuTis. The
such as the tame pea and the wild
fridge pea, is tho ritehest in nittogen,
