It has been a source of much
speculation with the editor of
this paper as to the stale of
nativity of some of Texas’
citizens. There are a number
of persons who have adopted
Texas as a home about whom
we have been conjecturing for
some time as to the place of
their early abode and why they
adopted Texas as their home.
The question has at last been
elucidated and we pass on the
information thus gained for
your edification. We are in-
debted to an eastern newspap-
er for the solution of the e lig-
ma. Here is the story as we
got it
Whenever a Mississippian
tells a lie it is generally ro-
bust and healthy and can walk;
but the moment a Georgian
hears of it, so great is the ri-
valry between the two States,
he girds up his loins and un-
loads a “whopper” that is so
strong it has ribs and a back-
bone and breathes. Not so
long ago a\man living near
Ellsville, Miss.; raid that the
cold wave in January swept
over that State so quickly that
the ponds in the swamps were
frozen stiff before the snakes
living in them could duck their
heads_ under the water. Ho
further " .remarked that he
amused himself for a whole
day by walking, oh the ponds
and kicking/off the heads of
the snakes, which stuck up out
of the ice. This story traveled
from one place to another until
It reached Georgia, where for a
time it—to use the language of
the prize ring—knocked out
everything it met; hut finally
a noble Georgian invented a
muscular lie that climbed on
the collar of the Mississippi
prodigy and literally pulveriz-
ed and mashed it into the earth.
The Georgia man said lhat
while chasing a fox across an
abandoned cotton field his
horse and himself fell into an
old well about seventy feet
deep. The fall killed the horse
instantly, but he escaped with-
out injury, and at once com-
menced looking around for a
way to reach the surface of the
ground. To his dismay1 he dis-
covered that it was impossible
for him to get out by climbing
fhe deep walls of earth that
shut him in, and he commenc-
ed howling for help at the top
of his voice, but none came.
On the morning of the second
day the stench from the car-
cass of his horse was stifling,
and he made up his mind to
suffer a horrible death, when
he noticed a number of buzz-
ards hovering about the top of
the well. Finally the birds
alighted in the well, and a
bright idea flashed thru his
brain, and he determined to
make the buzzards bear him up
to the ground above. As they
settled on the carcass of the
horse he seized them by the
legs until he had three of the
buzzards firmly grasp in each
hand, when he gave them a
violent "shoo”, and they flew
up, carrying him with them;
but they did not stop when
they got out of the well, but
continued to soar upward un-
til he was horrified to find
that he was fifty yards above
the surface of the earth. Sud-
denly however, it oceured to
him to release one buzzard
from each hand. This he did
and to his great joy his weight
dragged the remaining buzz-
ards slowly down until he was
safely landed on terra firma,
when he at once dropped on
his knees and returned thanks
in prayer.
When the story of the Geor-
gia fox hunter reached the ear
of the Mississippi man who
launched the cold weather lie
it made him feel so utterly;
mean and Worthless that he'
sold out and went to Texas.
