BETSY HAMILTON'S LETTE?. Tum Davis Tells Delny Sin? Looked Pretty und Kneel. Atl'inla Constitution, > HILLABBE, TALLADEGA CO., ALA, Dcar Combi : I was in hope* at tor Tum ?Davis hearn what Flurridy 'Jennys 'said about him that Sunday even in' at our house, that he'd have t-cnse cnoiigh to take tho hint and stay away, but lie can't be knocked down. Muddy lows ho's wusser'n a tarrapin for holdin'on; 'if a tarrapin bites he holds on tel it thun ders if you don't ? hoke him oil'. His hair had" been crapped lo the skin of his head, and when it sot in to grawin' out agin thar was one onruly lock that *tood o?tsti?l'all to itself ou top of his head and made him look like a sheered rabbit. Ho tried to grease it down with U meat skin, but it wouldn't stay down no way he'd fix it. it w?rricd aud tormented him turrihlc. Last one Sunday he primpt hissclf to come to sec me, and nc wan, bent and determined to make that ar lock lay down. Jle worked with it, and swot ted over it, and jt wouldn't stay ; il riz upngin every limo. He lowed if shouldn't outdo him no longer; he knowed what would stick it. So he turned in, lie did, and taken pome of these home linnie 'lattesand smeared 'emull over his heidi and they heit that lock down tight, I tel! you ; every har stayed righi wbar ho stuck it; and when he como in 1 didn't ?kucely kno/v him. Cap Dewberry was thar a settin' up to me, and aa quick as he sut eyes on Tom he let in to langhin'. Then he dragged his cheer to tot her ec nd of the entrv to git out n the way nod net in to talkiu' tu C'uledoiiy. 1 sued the devil ment in Cal's eyes, and Cap he was muH takin' a lit, KO glad to git sutnpen lo plague nie about. I Was mad as leonid be, and tic-kkd to death, too, kase Tom was so plum sat isfied with bisself. Alter mo and him howdye'd he giggled and his face turned red. Ile allers laughs over nothing. Then he axed me, "Miss Betsy, what fur a time did you havo at tho show 1 Hid you soe thein hy-nce-niesy and did you seo tho street progade? I seed you," says he, "and you looked mighty sweet, too. And I knowed in reason I must er. for it was a rai ni u' hard as it could j ( nour, and my coat'ail was all drabbed iu j u mud up to my knee.-?." ?e ^aid * looked j tj sweet and I nevcr?Ienied it, bul when ho up and lowed, "Miss Uutsy, I think you air the smartest gal I ever seen," I wanted to ax him how 'pon tho yeal h tie knowed, for ho has got about tho least sense of any ignnnt feller I know. J had a turriblo grudge agiu Tom.. llo had knocked me out'u gwinu lo thc Hing in' twico't hand-gwine, and onee't to lim sorghum strettbin' at old Miss Goodcn's. Ho had axed mc to incept of his company and I jist wouldn't go at all, lease Slaw she thought sich a power of old Miss Davis (Tom's Maw) that shu didn't 'low. mc to slight him, Tom he fetched his Kclf hero every Sunday, raia or shino, jiat when I w aa a look-in' for Cap Dew berry or Iky Roberson, and if they'd seo him in the entry they'd lay whip lo thor critters aud gallop hy, and it cut me HO I fairly hated Toni Davis. That Sunday ho sot fhcin' mo with Iiis hack to Cal and them, and they kep a laughin' and a crookin' thor fingers at me. It was a bot cronin' and I thought niebbo it was a fixin' to rain, for I nnver Eeed tho Uko of llief, und n o dou't ingen iiorlv have many flies. "How do you like tho name of Uci-iy Davis?" says boa hittin'nt the Hies. "Tho flies is mighty had," says I lori seed they was n pest cri u' of him power ful. "I come hero Ibis cvenln'," hays hu, (siappin* the flios) "to nx you (hittin'at 'cm a little harder) to nx you if you didn't want lo ho Mis.s Davis," says he, (fighlin' tho flies with both hands and 5?cratchin' h?j head), "I been a iovlu' you eversenso tho (hittin' the Hies) log rollin' nt old man Hasher's." Then ho slapped at hi? hoad and neck and face, but they 'peared to como in droves from ovenvhan , and his head begun to look like a swarm of bees-tho moro he fit 'em tho wusser they got. I looked at tolhcr cond of tho entry and thar soi Caledony and Cap jest a killin' they fool solves a iaughin'. Tom hu fit ' hnrder'u eve*. "What'HgOt into tho liles?" soys 1; "I never seed 'em so bad, 'pears liku they aro tryin' to eat you barbarously uj>," sayH I, Ho scratched his head and lowed: "I dunno what thoy want cr nie, I halal so sweet; looks Uko they had orter bito you inslid er mo. Hit ahorely aintine thoy aro alter ; hit must be theso hero fool 'lasses I've greased my head with, (and he hU^em faater'n ever) and I reckon the onlyest way to git Bhet of 'cm ia to go to the branch and wash 'em off. I know in reason they are jist what'd a drawin' theso tarnaital Hies," u> d with that he riz and went to tho branch. Ho nevor raid good oven in'nor Doth in1 to nobodv, and w.o. lowed he wai a comln' back, but ho never.
