* BECKY ANN WRITES OF TISIT. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Mr. Editer: I am mighty surprised t that you never had a thing in yore paper about-the concert at O'Neall St. Metherdist church last Sat. nite. It wuz won of the biggest tretes we ever had, an wuz jest the out come of havin a mill president with a hart big as the mill he presides over. Mr. Zach is allers a studyin up sumthin fur the benefit an plezure nf West End peepil, an he ordered a hi class Concert Band frum Columby, which wuz made up of three hily educated blind men an their manager. They shore wuz all good singers an musicianers, an intertaned us with the very best of clasical music. Mr. J. M. Davis sed they wuz "rale ar tists," but I never seen any of their picters, an I don't see how a blind man can paint no how. They sung sum mighty funny songs, an won in pertickler, where a ole man an wo man wuz a goin to celebrate their K iftieth weddin annerversy, keeps ringin in mi hed. The chorus started this way: "Git yore ole gray bonnet with the blue ribbins on it While I hitch old Dobbin to the shay," an I tell you it wuz shore fine. They had a song about niggers stealin chickens, and won of em wood cackle fur all the world like a old domineck er rooster, while the others wuz a singing. Oh, it wuz funny an god. They had sum little toy horns an mimick ed West End band a playin Red Wing, an peepil like to a kilt theirselves a laffin. Mr. Wherry (West End band master) looked like thirty cents an sum of the other boys looked still cheaper. I thought shore you wood a had a reporter over thare, or that sum of them good Metherdists wood a seen atter it, or I'd a tuck mi pencil an paper along an done it miself. I'm allers wonderin if Mr. Zach has any idee how much we all apprashate his kindness. There's a heap of things happenin on this side of the Rale Rode that ort to git in yore paper an don't. My hel:th haint been no account an I haint worked none in three months, but I tuck a agency fur a a,rtickle an went to N. C. about three weeks ago, an made enuff to pay my expenses while I wuz gone, an had a swell time besides. Mi helth. improved sum while I wuz gone too, an if Jeems hadn't a kept ritin aboult bein so lonesum I'd a stade longer then too w(eeks. It's a mighty long ride frum Clin ton to Wadesboro, an if thare hadn't a been a preacher on the trane that node me, I spect I'd a passed the time off by playing widder agin, an catchim me a bo. There wuz a drummer on thare that looked intrestin. When we stopped at Chester fur the trane to rest a few minites, a little nigger come in a sellin papers. That drum mer tuck a seegar outen his pocket an sorter held it out, an when that little nigger cum along he sed: "Say, coon, do you smoke?" The smiles broke out over that little nig gers face same as measles an he roll ed his ize toerds that seegar with a kind of a glory-halleluyer look, an an sered emfatic like: "Yessur, boss, I shore does!" Then that drummer stuck the seegar back into his pocket an anserad mighty seris: "Better quit it-it's a mighty bad habit" An the disappinted coon pass ed on with his lips curled tuther way, while every body but me laffed fit to kill. I wuz sorry fur the little feller. I stade mitey ni a week in Wades boro, where I shore had a fine time. Thare is a site of work goin on there. I reckin thare wuz mighty ni three hundred men a workin the street, cementin, gradin an pavib. Thare wuz lots of curis mersheens ever hare. and it wuz dangeris to walk around. Then thare wuz a lot of fel lers a c11min hi poles an stretchin close lines mighty ni all over town, an I spected ever time I past won of them poles that a feller wood cumt a tumblini down on to me an smasa me fiat a.s a flitter. But law sakes' thema boys cud climb strate up them poles same as flize and it never both ered them a bit. I stade in Monroe severil days at the home of Cousin .Jack Greene. While I wuz thare I met preacher Fullenwider's pa, an he shore is a fine lookin jolly ole gentlemtai. He's got a bewtifuli home, too. Cusin .hek is a widder an rents is house to Mrs. Griffin. an she keeps b e somi boarders, an Jack has 1 wat to the opery show~ to ee Human Harts played. In course Jacl carried us; he don't mind spendix money, cawse he makes a lot of it ai haint got nobody but won boy, an he'1 z at skule. Well, that play-if i wuz a play-beat anything I eve seen. But I tell you what it looke like the rale thing to me. I'll tel you a little sketch of it. Tom Logan wuz the hero, an wuz blacksmith-the handsomest an fines fookin specimen of manhood I eve seen (Jeem's excepted of corse!) witl a hart of pure gold, and hi ideals ai lofty notions of honer, truth an integ rity. He loved an marrid a orful pur ty woman, an trusted her implicitly She had been kinder raised up oi flattery, I think, an her nater wu: pizened bi it, jest same as a body cai gft pizened on drugs an sich like til thay can't do without em. Well, this woman soon got tired 0 honest Tom an sich a quiet, eas: life, an when a polished, slick tongue( villun come along an told her shi had marrid beneath her, an that sic] bewty as hern wuz ment to adorn , home of wealth an luxury-why, thi little wretch jest swallred it all down an injoyed it same as a bab: with a nursin bottle, an it wern't lonj till she wuz plum reddy to runawa: with him an leve her husband ai baby. Thay wuz sorter skeered of Ton though, an plotted to kill him, bu they made a mistake an killed Tom'. old daddy. Then that woman actill: swore that Tom done it an she seei him do it, an the pore feller wuz sen to the prison fur life, an the womai went an tuck up with that scoundral Sumtimes she wood -actilly dress up ii her finest duds, an go to the jail t< see her deserted husban4 an sh( wood laff an make fun of him an hii stripes. But them stripes couldn't hide thi true worth of Tom Logan; if any thing. thay made his virtues shin still brighter. The grand nobility o his great soul sh'one through it all dazling as the sun, an even in pris on he commanded unbounded respec and admeration. Atter a while that villin got to beih mighty cruel to the woman who ha< mortgaged her sole to the devil fu his sake. Jest like a man-he didn' love her no longer then he had rea sin to respect her. He wuz orfu mean to the little gal, too, which the: had got away from Tom's mother Sumtimes when that villin wood gi to slingin that putty little fore yea old -gal baby airound so vigris like I'd grab mi umbrel and start in to giva him a thrashin, but Cousin Jack woof stop me an say: "Stop. Cousin Becky, don't furgi that this is jest a play." an I'd se down, but mighty onwillin. I tell yol it didn't look like no play to me-bu the tale gingerwine thing. Well, atter while-in about fora year, the governor set Tom Loga: free. An law sakes! I never seen an; body as happy as he wuz, when tha: brung that pardon dockament to th prison an gi 'e it to him. He jes grabbed it an fell on his nees an rais ed his hands an ize to heven al thanked God in a glorious outburs of praze, fur bein so good to hin The shore nuff teers jegt pored dow: his face, too. Oh, he wuz glad! Thel Tom detarmined to get his little ga away frum her mammy, cause sb wern't fit to raze her, an then tha woman an villin begun to git skeered The villin got meaner an meane to the woman an little gal, an the wo man got to comparifyin him an Ton an recommembered how good Tot allers wuz. He never spoke a unkin word nor thunk a unkind think, no never done nuthin. ceptin all in hi power to make her happy; realized now atter it wuz too late, that sh had refused pure gold fur the stikin est. no accountest kind of dross, ai she might ni went crazy with re morse. She got to longin fur Ton an fur the shelter of his grate strom arms and tender hart. An the more she thunk about him the worse sh< wanted him. Oh, how s'ie wante< Tom! So won day she went to him at tridie her best to git him to make mi with her. but he jest couldn't dco it she herself. had killed his love fxr her, an now his hart wuz cold as. ic where she wuz consarned. She hog ged an cride an cride-an about tha tima the villin rushed in mad as fur' an shot her an she dide at Tom's feet She got jest prezactly what she de sarved-T woodn't a had it to end an: other way-but I wuz sorry she hat made sich a failyure of her life-wait. ed till too late to repent. She go jest the kind of justice every body i! oin to zcot the last day. an the .Tesu!
