MEssRs. EDIroRs:
1t seems to me that Toons would be a
prosperous place if it were not for the occa-
sional appearance of rustic Teagueites who
come hither and imbibe too freely of tanglc
leg benzine and then pelt our ears with
that strange language, the league dialect.
| move, if l can get second, (Which l
know l could,) to petition the Legislature
to make an appropriation to fence IN, to
itself that part of the county called leagues,
putting up a high enclosure to keep strag
giers from coming to town. Or, do you
think we could get Squire Tate to take a
contract to cOlonize them in Arkansas?
Something must be done. Suppose we
call a convt ntiOn at ICONS to consider the
subject
Where is our friend, Subscriber? Where
is Quid Nunc? Why do they not come
forward to the ranks and help to build up
our little place, in order for her TO cry out,
L PluribUs URum? Then she will buy
more cotton in future than ever before.
She ought and must protect herself. She is
able and willing to do it. Next spring and
summer when you hear of houses being
built and stables being erected, then you
can say, "hurrah, for Toons." We are go-
ing to prepare TO take care of farmers who
bring in their cotton. They need not bring
along their grub and horse-feed, but come
and see what we are able to do. We are
also going to erect calaboose to take care
of Teagueites when they use too Ruch OF
their unknown language. BY that means
we will have peace and quiet.
The extremely cold and unfavorable wea-
Their that we have experienced for some
weeks has prevented preparations of any
consequence being made by the farmers and
planters of the county in beginning the
new crop year. The time however has been
advantageously utilized by making con-
tracts with laborers, repairing implements,
and placing everything in readiness for
work in earnest when a favorable season is
presented. The winter thus far has been
rather more severe than usual; but if there
| is any truth in the axiom OF "a hard winter
for good crop year." the tillers of the soil
will be we'll remunerated for the present
inconvenience. We hope the cotton-buyers
will act more wisely next fall than the last.
We learn that they have lost enormously on
cotton.
We bespeak for ICONS happy new year,
especially in trade, and hope the farmers
may learn TO know that Toons is the place
to bring cotton to reap the full benefit of it.
Yours respectfully, BUNCoMBE.
