aud iha, This was the head of the river, aud we
could sqna, here, and in short time our lot
wonld bring heap Of money.
used to riie some for our county paper, and
some, to plague me. called me lkeraly but
when read the letters Of Mr.. Shocks, | sed
there's no chance for me. as the printer won't
want two people to rite him from one town :
but wha, "n earth. Mr. Editor, is Mr. Snooks
"A riting about, do you knowa He talks about
reviewers firing off. looking ont The winder, a
tearing his lsantaloons, and HE Squire, but !
can't see .or the life Of me what II means
Well, after Faiher got the canvass house made,
and we get Ia rites, tlloaglt I'll 60 down and
see Tie new Squire. We don't exactly live at
Red Bluff bui just over the line, i'll Butown
| don't like the name, but they say il is named
after merchant who moved up peace, cause
they wouldn't name Red Bluffs, Buliown. Well.
as saying, after got to rites, took the
baby and went down to the new Squire
what MIR. SHOCKS says ST. much about. lie tias
gotta nice store, and he talks rife up to his cus'o-
mers, and makes 'enl feel 30 home at wonst, and
heard tell he made the best speech in the
Comfy Convention, If he is going, and Father
says Che was tEere-we went To Shasta that
day) il ALMOST 6rot tie tears to his eyes, when
he told about the rolling Ji'loses Of Ike Sacramea-
TO. Father come round the horn when he first
come TO this county, and when he heers any
one talk of pillows it makes his eyes water, and
he feels kind sick at ais stomach. think the
Squire is rite smart chance of man, and SO
sociable, he kissed the baby, and sed he knowd
It was IA boy, and would have vote some of
these days. His mind seemd to kinder run OIL
pollyicks.
WELL The day after had been to the Squire
store, went down 10 the other store. There
is one tall man there who aint half so pcllite
as the Squire, and he looks as thongll he never
seed a barber. Then there is another tall man.
who talks a great DEAL but is k ndei soft they
say he's very perlite to strangers in the place.
bat 10 my mind it is only curiosiy--he asked
me many questions. The best looking one
in this store is the younger one. who seemed
shy OF the baby, but suppose its because there
aint been none i'll The place, and he's young
They say the tall gankey with the hair all
over his face is married. Ct wonder if the
Squire is.)
Now do, Mr.. Editor, tell me who Mr. Diabolus
Shocks is. Some says its one, some another
fm aaierally curious, and the women have the
credit OF it, generally but if you'll Just tell me-,
| won't say a word but | do think one who
talks SO interes,in like, sellin calico and cotton
spools, must be rite smart to writing. Is it the
Squire ?-now dew tell me. Now don't 60 TO
print this in The paper, but if you want temai
correspondent TO tell you all that's goin ON
down 10 here, lie write again next week.
