Mr.. z liter: Dads been as mad as a
march hare for hui week, cause he
seed I'd given the silver bricks biz away,
and he called me honorary cuss and
other hard names; but a, luck would
have it he came acrost that railroad arti.
Gle you had in your paper last month,
where it says the road was agoipg to
come plum down our valley, which
tickled him nearly to death, so he made
up with me ana we're as thick as two
thieves over the matter.
Dads says he's aeoirg to be million.

talking about dresses, etc., and the
way they carry on kind of beats me, for
I'll be doggonneI if l can understand
what they mean when the say Sues
dress has to he cut bias and goared, but
suppose its kind Of natural for them to
talk that way considering we've got so
many animals round the place.
Dad says the dress ought to have
train attached to it to start the railroad,
and he's going to attend to the coupling
at the wedding, so that he can shunt the
young people on to the main track for
Union junction, and the worst part will
be for him and his old woman in loosing

Mr.. Eliter, if you do you'd better bring
