Cedar Chapel, JAN, "a, 1888
We are glad to see you growing fat
again. Fer sixteen long weary years
We have been watching your up 8
and downs with much solicitude.
In all this time of anxious Watching
we have frequently pronounced you
IN ''GrticatlO nlort.s." But thanks to
the 'fat and fate" your Inhlbltory
center would as often rebound, with
vital force sufficient 10 start the old
concern to ticking away again,
We are glad dear Bulletin that
your new boss is feeding you on
better grub. In fact, yeu seem to
be IN better health, than for sever
al years past. It is true, now and
then you show up a very bad SymP~
tom, sufficiently so at times to war;
rant an unfavorable prognosls, but
as you have lived thus far, and grad
ually getting a ''leetls better, we
are still betting the last dollar of old
Hardemau's poor scrip on you.
Whv bless your gray hairs, dear
Bulletin, if the Editor and Devil,
who runs your machinery could but
visit this portion of the Lords
country, you would find Cedar
Chapel not only represented by
Governor Bob's blood kin, but you
would also find this community all
full of bis red hot and hoId-on-to-
the-grip~triends; as the concern could
held without Dustin. We can't agree
with you, dear Bulletin, when you
say Bob is not true to his friends.
Gov. Bob can't stuff every body on
Office and fat turkey. But like Col :
Inns ram, he has a head of his own,
and Cleveland like, he darss to be
a man, and do his duty. You might
as well try to make good many of
our people down here believe. that
your town clsek was made of brass
monkeys, as to try to make them
believe that Bob Taylor was not
the right man In the right place,
and there too, to stay until his ex-
cellen cy was ready to look to the
Lord and be dismissed. There is
another clever man with handsome
wife and children who lives a few
miles this side of Nashville, that
we are learning to admire wonder
fully too. We allude to nOne other
than the Hon. Francis Fentress OF
Bolivar. And I'll tell you, dear Bull.

We un's are a'goin to heller fel
Frank to ride up thar, and fix the
masheen acordin to HoYle, lay lor
and Cleveland. These three are q
a full hand, and can beat sky blue
straight, or 4 bob tail flush. But
dear Bulletin, as we have so often
seen you recover from worm symp.
toms, and political collie, we have
great 1alth that you will finally re-
cover from yeur Anti-Bob Spell.
Our people are moving along the
even tenor of their way. Some mar
rying, and some wanting to marry.
some dying, and others not wanting.
Some happy over the Midland rail-
road, and others IN spasm OF wrath
over the forced right of way through
their fertile farms. Some seem to
think that now is the accepted time
for beef and grass to make THEN
fortune, while others say the cars
will undoubtedly run over. and xii
the last calf cid briudle has get. Thus
it goes showing that there is still a
heap OF human nature in some folks
As for us aud Our'n, we say let her
