Joel Chandler Harris

“ Hit’s mighty good fer ter kyar’ ’roun’ wid you in de day time an’ likewise in de night time. Hit’ll pay you mo’ dan politics, an’ ef you stan’s up like you oughter, hit’ll las’ longer dan a bone-fellum. ”

“ You ain’t bin in dar long nuff fer ter go ’roun’ takin’ up conterbutions. Wait ontwell you gits sorter seasoned like, an’ den I’ll hunt ’roun’ in my cloze an’ see ef I can’t run out a thrip er two fer you. But don’t you levy taxes too early. ”
