For the Citizen.l
Vale Mills.

Mr.. EDITOR :-'Yonder / come
again." but ] don't bring much
news this time. The Rural Glee
Dramatic Club is non est. Miss A.
r. the "A' stands for Angel has
left this neighborhood, and is at
present teaching young shoots
how to ideate" at Rural Hill. 80,
would ! were two or three school
boys and all of us had to go to
school to her. Z. A, poor fellow,
has nearly froze to death the last
few weeks. He has to lean up
against the wall to sneeze. He has
''swaged down" till he is no more
than a four horse load nowl He is
wonderful catch for some nice
young unsophisticated feminine
gender. He has new ''sorrel top"
stable. Will Nick. well, that boys
in love, believe. He sings thusly
Fair, fair, beyond compare,
One eye looked here, one eye looked there,
With pug in the snoot and caroty hair,
Beautiful, beautiful girl.
Oh, my sweet William, sing on,
thou bravest Of cavaliers. Joe L.,
when last heard from, was sitting
on the fence trying to cheat an old
negro out of a "koon skim" DIR. ID.
has Jared badly this warm weather.
The people out here are waiting tor
another eclipse. They want to use
the DR.. in the place of smoked glass
through which to witness the con
gratulatory meeting of Beautiful
Luna and Old Sol. He was stand
ing in the sunlight the other eve
ming trying to keep warm( J, when
a lot of little negroes came up and
had regular fight over his shadow.
They thought it was shoe string
lying upon the ground. Tam j.
went fishing the other day and
caught about forty pounds and sold
them to Hume F. for "walking cat
fish" 1 will only say there wasn't
a puppy in the "whole entire lot"
They were all full grown water dogs.
Hume F. didn't have his fish fry.
Ed. j. has gone to fair ields-St.
Louis. Ed showed US some of his
short hand writings. After seeing
it, we thought (but were afraid to
tell him SOY that there was a much
better opening for him in China,
for there he might get a job of
marking fire crackers. But enough
foolishness unless 'twere better.
There is some complaint about
stealing watermelons. One old dar
kie told me: "Dem hangfred mig
gars goes to church and sing and
sing, and pray and play all night
till soon in de mornin' fo' day, den
come in my watermillion patch and
steal all my millions. 1 believe in
'oner myself; 'oner fust, 'oner last,
'oner always" 1 bought one from
him and paid him quarter. Twas
green as window blinds. "Uncle,
give me another" "Well, If you
glib me 'nudder quarter, cause
wants TO do the 'onerbul thing"
How doth the little busy mig delight
to stink and sweat, and have the
b-ache all day, from watermelons
eat2 He lieth in the shade all day,
at night he goes to meetin'; and
then the next day comes to town,
to hear how Hughes was beaten.
SELAHl dow is that for first col |
umn of Nursery Rhymes?" "What

DR.. Meadows is visiting at Mr..
Willie Reynolds. He is, we are
glad to say, getting better. Mrs.
Reynolds Is quite sick. Hope to |
