On the evening of the 23d Ebb Gallman came home about dark; asked Lissie if she hii anything to eat. She said it n/>t nnitp done.

Xo one was there but the home folks. I was here ubout one hour before Ebb Gallman came. -He then asked Lissie Bailey did she have anything to eat; she said, no, it is not done. Then I heard them fighting and I heard a report from a pisioi, and I was satisfied it was Ebb Gall cian doing the shooting, and there was no one else in the room but Lissie and Galjman when the pistol fired. I then left the house Ebb and I came out of the i^ouse together, and then Ebb GallE.an ran off.

Arid so many rules and regulations. Maybe, if those old fellows had lived now, und had been given the careful watching and tender nursing that we are giving in this day, they would in reality have been giants in all lines of endeavor and physically more perfect. Conditions have chr.nged, they tell us, and we must adapt ourselves 10 meat changed conditions, and I reckon they know more about it than I do; and that they are right and I am wrong. However that may be, I just can't help at this time to let my mind t J J ? -r.-V.rtr, gc buck to tnose goon ow ua.ya nuc^ we made men and women that were true and faithful and truthful and when a man's word was his bond. I went to school a little when I was j*oung, but it seems to me that I worked at hard labor from the time I was six until I wis 20, and that I did all kinds of work during that time, 2nd did it every year, and yet I got a right fair schooling. Now, if n boy starts when he is six and keep<= going right along, it will take him until he is 21 to got through college And he has no time for anything else.
