I lived in Barnwell in ItUff, fifty-three yemw wgor—Lnsraa a la»y then, fifteen years old. I clerked for Mr. James E. Rohlitepn, who kept the biggest store in Itarnwett. The store sat right where the Barnwell Bank now sets. The build ing belonged to my dear old uncle, Pol. B. II. Brown. Mr. William Smith was also a clerk and book keeper. He was a refined, intelligent gentleman. 'The boys that lived in Itahiwell then about my age were Joe Betlsr, Jimmy O’Ban- non, Laura O'Hannon, Joe O'Ban non, John MTxsou. the great wateniielou king, Spider Mixson, Duncan Brown, Hen Brown, t'llnt Brown, Angus Brown, Paddy Brown, John Mauley, William Siueff, Lang Duncan, Ed Pat terson, last but not least, my old friend.

When I had got enough of that sort of chat I frammed too or three of ’em and tied their tongues sure enough. When I growed up and was a flying around among the girla, one^pf* them who was sort of jealdms <vf my atten- lions to another gal said : “he! he! he! you is the first green simmons I ever knowed not to be tic-tongiied.” You see I was likely and ipiglity chatty, and she thought she had made a good pint on me.
