capable Of killing calf.
Mr.. J. C. Coker, of this county, was acci.

time carsing rings over here, and
what good did it do you? People
looked upon your TRADES as very
harmless articulate sounds, coming
from one close kin to the mules faith
er, and I hope this experience of yours
will prevent future sarcasm on your
near relative.
You will recollect, dear Nick, that
at the time you were so busy canvass
ing you told us, "That we on this side
OF the river were promised by the
Florentines that they were going 70
build an iron truss bridge across the
river, that We may laugh at freshets,
with an acadamized road to Florence
Straight as the crow hies,'" but what
took the cake, unsophisticated Nick,
was, s'That they would build the Court
House and jail at their own expense"
I know that ':little Office matter" got
you, but that Court House and jail
boom got the taxpaying farmers. But,
call is we'll that ends WELL" and I feel
assured that all these promises (if
made at alD will be kept in good
faith, notwithstanding the grumbling
Of the ''sore heads" Again, I am
satisfied the new county has bright
prospects ahead. She is in good fnan-
cial condition, and surely was not af-
ter the 'taesh pots of Egypt" when
she got the small portions of the
counties comprising her area (vide
the special committees report to the
Legislature), she was after area, not
money. If the town of Florence
wanted the county seat I cannot con-
eeiye why she should not have it. She
offers more and better inducements
than her competitors It matters not
whether it will benefit the land own
ers there. You are not envious of
their good fortune, are you? I'm not,
I only wish I had a few acres there,
hope to some day if I can persuade
Becky to move there; then you can
come and visit us. At such time We'll
kill a chicken and churn every pop.
So let's go ahead, pull together, and
try and make the new county all that
can be anticipated, with the town Of
