Deer Mr.. Editor Il wuz lookin over
the NEwsY. HERALD Of this week and I
seen so menny good letters from the
correspondents OF this here county, and
then you sed you had more rune fur
correspondents since the campane is
over, and it set me thinkin about
whats the reason we 'aint got any writer
frum this here neck of the woods?
notise and am glad to say that there is
lots of NEwsY. HERALDs comes to this
here post -offise, and it is my furm beleai
that the readers would like to no whats
goin on in our own naburhood, so
thought would write you few lines to
let you all no how we are gettin
along anyhow.
We are all glag that the lection is
over, and the exsightment dyed out,
but some of us fellers are sorry becase
Ben and Levi got there Eli, that there is
II it is SO, but wuz talkin to dim
mercratic friend tother day, and he said
it wuzzent settled yit.
We've bin havin few changes north
of our sitty. Mr.. Morris, OF Midland
sitty has moved into his house where
Mr.. A. d. Clevenger lived, Mr.. eleven
ger has moved over to Farmers Station.
Pope Mcdaniel is a reparin Mr.. Morris
Barn by the way of new roof and
wetherbordin. Mebby you have hurd
that Jim Hart and family have moved to
their property down on the plains we
call it, but sum people calls it the
swamps.
Well Mister Editer you no that last
Thursday wuz thanksgivin day, but l
don't spose you no that we had sum
turkys roasted. Mr.. James Gibson had
q turky roasted, and Hon. Jonah Britton
and his wife they went there. They
found Frank Gibson of Indyana at home,
and I spect he will stay till after the
hcllerdays. The rest of the folks wuz
all we'll 'cept Thomas who is sufferin
from a strained ankle receaved while q
playin bali at school. If Hiram Smith
is mad at Mr.. Gibson, why no boldly
nose any thing about it, but it looked so
funny to see Mr.. Smith and his wife
agoing right past Mr.. Gibsons turkey,
almost clost enuff to hear it goblin
and go right down to Mr.. ]. H. Browns,
but as good luck would hewitt Mr.. Brown
had turky too. Mr.. Geo. Foreman and
wife wuz at Mr.. Browns too.
Now / don't no whether there wuz
any mower turkeys killed round here or
not, but mebby I had better dwell on
this here point by sayin to the White
Caps that no that all the turkys that
wuz toasted round here wuz raised by
the individulars what killed 'em.
Last Saturday Mr.. VIM. Pulliam and
his wife, OF Winkle, come up here and
vizited at the rezidence of Mr.. M. D.
Britton and went home Sunday morn.
ing. Hon. J. Britton and his wife they
vizited his sonny-law and wife, Mr.. and
Mrs. Simpson Oldaker, of Russell, last
Saturday and Sundy. Everett Britton
and Miss Ella Ruble they vizited Mr..
Sam West and his wife, and ]. P. Ruble
and Miss Lora Brown they vizited j. H.
CLANCY and his wife last Sunday.
Now that's bout all the muse ! no this
here time only that there wuz mish-
ionary meetin at Mt. Olive last Sunday
mite, and the program wuz good. They
hev got new cole stoves at Mt. Olive and
they are nifty nice. Well Mister Editor
wood like ter tell you several uther
things, but mebby I had better not rite
two much fur the fust time, or mebby
you'll git tired a readin, that there is il
you kin reed it after it gifts cold. so I will
cloze fur the prezent remainin your
trend. CAPT. SPELLER.
