"Well, the Lord is on our side, neighbor Jennings, to-day, anyhow," he roared across the space of two or three tables. "He's always on our side, brother Councill," smiled Jennings. "Wal, I'd know about that. Sometimes I'm a leettle in doubt." "Got something good to eat?" inquired Jennings of Mrs. Councill. "Land sakes, no!
Why, they ain't a harder-workin' woman in the hull State of Ioway than she is " "Except Marm Councill." "Except nobody. Look at her, jest skin and bones." Councill chuckled in his vast way. "That's so, mother; measured in that way, she leads over you. You git fat on it." She smiled a little, her indignation oozing away. She never "could stay mad," her children were accustomed to tell her.
At supper he sat at the table with the men, whose wet shirts showed how fierce the work of pitching the hay had been. "Be ye out f'r play or work, Brad?" asked Councill. "Work. Need a hand?" "They's plenty to do but I'm afraid you can't take a hand's place, for a while." "Try me and see." They were all curious to hear of Washington, but he was more inclined to talk of the crops and the cattle.
Hater to present to the Councill about his troublesome business of powder, desiring a trial that his absence may be vindicated, and so to White Hall, but it was not proper to present it to-day. Here I met with Mr.
Bradley's skill as a horseman came out as he swung into the narrow winding road which led through threatening stumps into the heart of the wood past the speaker's stand. Councill furled his great flag and trailed it over the heads of those behind, and Flora and Ceres, and all the other deities of the grange upheld the staff with smiling good-will.
Mrs. Councill, a jolly, large-framed woman, smiled brightly, and greeted her in a loud, jovial voice. She made the mistake of taking the whole matter lightly; her tone amounted to ridicule. "Sim says you've been having a tantrum, Creeshy. Don't know what for, he says." "He don't," said the wife, with a sullen flash in her eyes." He don't know why! Well, then, you just tell him what I say.
and he to Sir W. Coventry, in the cabinet, the King and councill being sitting, where I leave it to its fortune, and I by water home again, and to my chamber, to even my Journall; and then comes Captain Cocke to me, and he and I a great deal of melancholy discourse of the times, giving all over for gone, though now the Parliament will soon finish the Bill for money.
This night, at supper, comes from Sir W. Coventry the Order of Councill for my Lord Bruncker to do all the Comptroller's part relating to the Treasurer's accounts, and Sir W. Pen, all relating to the Victualler's, and Sir J. Minnes to do the rest.
The governour of our said province for the time being shall have authority from time to time at his discretion to assemble and call together the councillors or assistants of our said province for the time being and that the said governour with the said assistants or councillors or seaven of them at the least shall and may from time to time hold and keep a councill for the ordering and directing the affaires of our said province.
He was really the ablest man in that part of the State, and could wield the Democratic party like a pistol. He succeeded in getting Amos, Councill, Jennings, and a few other leading grangers to sign his call for a people's convention to nominate county officers and the member of the legislature. It really amounted to a union of the independent Republicans and the young Democrats.
