W ' HIGH The Tczllesf Tall Qffofyf Bright and early one morning a Fuller brush man named Peterfsj Boone planned to go on a Coon hunt. For breakfast he had two Bowles of Hash and Welsh rarebit with Lemon juice, which he considered Goode. He packed his old Kittfsl bag, got in his car, an old Ingram made by the Johnston company, and started on his trip. While on his way he stopped to see the Baker and met an old Powell, Ianney Epperley. He told his friend to get his gun, Oyler up, Porter in the car and come along with him. After a short trip they arrived at the Woodfsj. They got out their guns and while looking for some shells, they found their trusty Deck of cards but decided not to play because they didn't have much time. Wliile hunting they came to a creek where they saw many rats running around on a Ratcliffe. Their Leggfsj started Eakin after being scratched by huckleberry, rasp- berry ancl Quisenberry vines. They saw several Coonfsj Crouehfedj in the bushes Wigginftonj their tails but they decided not to shoot until they saw the Wliiteside of their eyes. - It started to Sprinkle rain which was very disagreeable for them but Goode for the Flowers. About that time they saw some more Coonfsj and Peterfsl shot one and Janney two. Peterfsj said to himself, Chatman can't get ahead of me like that. So later he shot another Coon and that Evans up the score. Since the score was even they decided to leave the Scordas Qscore asb it was and Farley ffor thej rest of the trip shot only at Byrd Simpson Csome ofb the Coonfsj were still left. They hated Bfrjadley to leave but they got a good Grilhth Cgripj on their guns and, Hamblin Qhandlingl them carefully, put them in the car.
