How a Georgia Lady Lost Her Teeth.

A lady was visiting a friend at Americus lately, and she wore a set of false teeth. A little 5-year-old boy saw her take the teeth from her mouth, and ran terrified to his mother, exclaiming: “Mamma, miimma, Miss Mary pulled out a whole handful of teeth at once, and tore all the skin out of her mouth, and didn’t cry one bit. It didn’t hurt, but you’ll have to give her all of old speckle’s eggs to eat, for she can’t chew her victuals.” He couldn’t be made to understand that they were false teeth, and was sure the lady would starve to death.
