Thar’s More In the Man Than
Thar Is In the Land
V By HIDNKY I.A*IKK. '
(Sidney Lanier, considered the »?reatest Southern po*‘t since
Poe, was born at Macon. Ga., Feb. 3. I'Jt.’. He served in the Con
federate Army and after the war engaged in ..literary work. For
a time he wasr lecturer in English literature at • Johns Hopkins
I’niversity in Baltimore. He died of consumption on Sept. 7. 1881.1
f I Unowned a man) which he liv* j |„ Jones.
\Vhi<h Jones is a coupty of red hills and stones.
And he lived pretty much by c«uin' -of loans.
Ami his mules was nuthln’ hut >kin and bones
And Tiis hogs was flat as his cornbread. pones.
\nd he had 'bout a thousand a-r* - o' hand.
• This man—which-his name it was also Jones—
Ho swore that he’d leave them old r<d hfils and stones
F'ur he couldn’t make nothin’ but yullerish cotton.
And little o' THAT; and his fences was rotten.
And what little corn he had. HIT was houghten.
And-dinged ef a livin’ was in the land.
And the longer h,. swore the i ladder ho got.
And he riz and he walked to tho stable lot.
And he hollered to Tom to come thar and hitch
Fur to emigrate somewhat whar land was rich.
And to unit raisin’ cock-burr?, thistle and sich. *
And a wastin' ther time on the - «s«ed land.
*. * J HP
k
So him and Tom they hitched up the mules,. .
I’ertestin’ that folks was nng 1 tv b^g fools
That 'ud stay in Georgy th» i lifetime out.
Jest scratehin’ a livin’ when all-o( 'em mought
Git places in Texas whar Cotton would sprout
By the time you could plant it in the land.
And he driv t>K» house whar a man named Brown
* \
Was a livin’, not fur from the edge o’ town.
And he bantered Brown fui to buy his place
And said that bein’ fcs money was skace.
And bein’ as Sheriffs was hard to face,
Two dollars an acre would get the land.
'X . ^ -

They closed at a dollar and fifty cents.
And Jones he bought him a waggin and tents t
And loaded his corn, and his wjmmin, and truck.
And moved to Texas, which it tuck
His entire pile, with the best of luck,
To git thar and git him a little land
But Brown moved out on the old Jones farm.
And he rolled up his breeches and bared his arm.
And he picked all the rocks from ofl’n the groun’.
And he rooted it up and h* plowed It down.
Then, he sowed his corn and wheat In the land.
Five years glid by. and Brown one day
(Which he’d got so fat that he wouldn’t weighty
Was a sittin’ down, sorter lanly.
To the bulliest dinner you *'er see.
When one o’ the children jumped on his knee
And says, "Van’s Jones, which you bought his land ”
And thar was Jones, standin’ out at the fence.
And he hadn’t no waggin. nqr mules, nor tents.
Fur he had-left ; Texas afoot and cum
To Georgv to see if h* couldn't git sum
Employment, and h,. wa< a Tookm' as huni-
Ble as ef he had m vei owned an v land
But Brown he axed him in and he -..t
«
Him down to his viltfes smokin’ hot.
A
And when he had filled Irissfdf and the flnoi
Brown looked at him sharp and riz and swore
That “Whether m« njs land was t irh <u poor
Thar wa s more in the Man than that was in the Land.”
