Now, Mr.. Editor, as you will remember,

male it appear tha, put very low est innate

telligence Of my brother farmer. There is
no man that cnter'ains higher respect for

myself and | would be traitor if | did not
resI ect respectable men in tie s,me advcca-
ton, and ask you to be Ii tie more.
lenient in the future in constituting my words
| AS VoS has told you about hi. fox chase
will tell you about coon hunt happened
to be in some years ago. 1t was somewhere
between so and 'S2 that some fellow saw n
coon track Oh n branch some three or four
| mics Fl rom my house. Some two or three
Of us agreed to hunt for him, aud appoint
cd night for the fun. Al the time for our
hunt we had pretty good crowd. When
| we got near The place where the fellows had
seen the coon track, one of our dogs gave
| yelp, and some one in the crowd said /:
| That's coon, certain, for old ranger
won't run anything but coons One after
another Of tho dogs fell into line. We hnd
a large pack, and they were pretty bad V
mixed up. We had all kinds of dogs, from
q poodle to mastiff so you can judge
what kind Of music we had. The hounds
trailed for two or three hours before we had
much fun. When the dogs got to where
the gra's was damp with dew they began to
| open pretty lively. IIix - said '.come
on, boys, they have got him up" and wo
began to trot pretty lively but by the time
VIC got to the bottoms the dogs were half
mic ahead Of US and we made a halt, TO sec
which way the dogs were going. We then
began to scatter-'ome going one way, some
another. | happened to 60 my own way
and alone and get lcst from the crowd, but
as it turned out the dogs came right round
to where was. l startc right in behind
the pack and we had it through the briars
and over gullics-I tore my clothes almost
of Of me. Directly l heard the boys
~. ~. ..S:ss..sill at full tilt balloeing
near cut, too, and crossed the branch a .i.1.scJ
ahead of the dogs, and just in time to sec
old Drag catch the biggest black cui /
rrsr sdw. So ended the soon ,dnt: and We
all started for home determined never to
brag on HAT hunt or go that far II hunt
coons anymore.
Mr.. Editor, as it is tho fashion to talk
ABOUT the CCnultlon OF thc rOauS, suppose
! had better say something on that suhieo'.
We all know that the roads are in u very
bad condition, but it cannot be helped, and
| think it all nonsense for men t. be trouh-
ling themselves about something they cannot
help.
1t is we'll known that roads cannot he
worked when they ore in such q condition as
thcy are now; but if the Oversccrs WI
order oui their road hands when the roads
beg in to dry off a ittie-I mean when the
mud is dried sufficient to prevent its stick
| ing TO their tools-they can put them in
good condition. l think n two-horse plcw
would ts an excellent tool OH road, if
| properly used with their tools.
Now, will some one answer this question
Uncle Nero had ninety bushels Of corn,
| he also had three sons, Jim, Jack and Tom.
He gave 10 bushels to Jim, gave 80 bushels
They each e0tAa Ia Hn@ ttrA IL FAYE the remainder
