CHAPTER VIII.
ANOTHER LETTER FROM RICHER.
JOBE went to the election Monday and voted her strait. That nite I put another patch on his pants. Ive been a doin his patchin just arter election every year since 1873.
Jobe dont mind patches so long as the Republicans are in, but there is no end to his kickin if the Dimicrats are in.
I cant see what difference it makes; the patchin has to be done, and more of it, every year.
Tuesday Jobe went to town to pay his interest and hear how the election went. He had borrowed what he lacked of Bill Gerber and will work it out at diggin that well.
When he got to town he went strait to Jones’s bank and paid the $126 interest, then went to the post-office and got this letter:
OFFICE OF
BERIAR WILKINSON,
General Speculator and Political Wire-Puller.
D. M. J. Richer, Attorney.
