When he walked out of the store he found himself accosted by a lean, snaky-looking man who had stood within the store the moment before. "What's this widder woman goin' to do with the farm old Jeptha left her?" inquired the man, looking at Hiram slyly. "We don't know yet, sir, what we shall do with it," the young fellow replied. "You her son?" "No.
One of the implements left by Uncle Jeptha had been a one-horse corn-planter with a fertilizer attachment. Hiram used this, dropping two or three grains twenty-four inches apart, and setting the fertilizer attachment to one hundred and fifty pounds to the acre. He was until the next Wednesday night planting the piece. Meanwhile it had not rained, and the river continued to recede.
"The Ephraimites, not being called upon to share in the rich spoils of the Ammonitish war, assembled a mighty host to fight against Jeptha, Judge of Israel; who, being apprised of their approach, gathered together the men of Israel and gave them battle and put them to flight.

"Thank you, I'll prove I deserve it yet," declared the strange man. There was a spell of silence. Finally Bart decided to venture a question on a theme he was very curious about. "Do you know Colonel Jeptha Harrington?" he asked suddenly. "Hoo eh?" He had startled Baker his incoherent mutterings persuaded Bart of this. "Don't you want to tell?" continued Bart.
So at Enfield Farm, now the property of one of Pasquotank's most successful farmers and business men, Mr. Jeptha Winslow, began a disturbance which culminated a hundred years later in the Revolutionary War; and here, in embryo form, in 1677, was the beginning of our republic "a government of the people, for the people, by the people."
"You have no reason to doubt the validity of the option?" cried Hiram, in desperation. "Assuredly not." "Then why didn't Uncle Jeptha speak of it to somebody before he died, if the option had not run out at that time?" "Humph!" "You grant the old man was of sound mind?" "Sound as a pine knot," agreed the storekeeper, still reflective.
Pepper remembered the option he had risked twenty dollars on. If it was originally for thirty days, it was void, of course; but Uncle Jeptha is dead, and he hopes perhaps, that nobody else will dispute the validity of it." "It's a forgery, then?" cried Mrs. Atterson. "It may be a forgery. We do not know," said the lawyer, hastily. "At any rate, he has the paper, and he is a shrewd rascal." Mrs.
"We'll be sure this paper is all straight before you do sell, Mrs. Atterson." "Why, I just won't sell!" she exclaimed. "Uncle Jeptha never said nothing in his will about giving this option. And that lawyer says that in a couple of years the farm will be worth a good deal more than this Pepper offers." "Why, Mrs.
