To the Chronicle:
If you have room in your ever vel
come paper, will you publish few
statements from this and the surround
ing country?
Your dear readers may think by
our living way over on the back
side of the county, aud having to drink
branch water, and by so many jurors
having been obtained in the Morrow
case from thus, the 10th district, that
we hardly ever see or hear anything,
but we know that Gen Grant was born
in Ohio, April q 1922, and was the
sixth child, and his father was leath-
err dealer, and that he married Mis- Ju-
liza Dent, of st. Louis, in 1913, and we
heard of his death in few hours after
he. died, and we have heard about the
war being over, and we know that we
have prospect for good crop.
Fruit is fine, especially the black
berries, and great many of the old
women are sending for Il few quarts
of whiskey to put in the wine and cor
dial to save it. I doubt about them
saving it very long if they let their
husbands find out that they have put
whiskey in it, and sometimes they
might take little taste themselves
when they feel rather bad. If the ber-
ries don't fatten Capt. Gilbert this sea-
son think we will have to give him
up.
