Entry 1329
Yo' kin take a young hick'ry dat grownin', lak yo' see in de spring, yo' see. An' it's jes' grownin' up good an' yo' say, "Well" - supposed mah name John." "Now, ah want John tuh go down, keep his haid down, keep outa mah business anyway." Twist dat limb - twist it until ah could, so ah could tie it. Den ah tie it - jes' lak ah tie a string an' den jerk it an' den stick de point of it in de ground an' don' look back an' go out 'bout chure business. An' he'll git out of yore business.
