We are having beautiful spring weather
it makes one feel like loving. All nature
seems to be in love; the birds sing it and
the little cricketS chirp it, and all insect
life is making merry over it. The south
winds breathe love and the sunshine comes
with gentle warmth that would melt a
heart of stone, while the trees unfolding
their green leaves and opening their bios
SONS seem to be but putting on their we'd
ding dresses.
Love is the law of nature, and why should
we resist the gentle influence? Let us love,
and love in the springtime of our lives as
well as the springtime of the year. Shall

ant and interesting letter came TO my keep
ing the 24th and was glad to hear from you
and would be pleased to exchange photoes
with you, but have none at present OF my

wether is very nice out hear and the ground
is so dry the dust will fly in some places
and the grass is green and nice and every
thing looks nice around hear. There IS
good deal OF sickness around hear.
am going to a singing school Friday
night and expect TO learn to sing aud don't
you forget it l will.
have not made my choice vet and / ad-
verified because l was old enough to marry
and want TO get married and the boys home
am acquainted with use bad language and
drink liquor and use tobacco, there is only
one boy in our neighborhood that l think
about but he is to young for me he
is one of our highest neighbors and he is
very nice and prefer short road to the
love of some good man than the one usually
taken which requires usually several
months If not years and we have some
peach trees and the prospect is now that we
will have lots of peaches and the trees look
loving when they are in blossom and say
we should not resist these gentle Influences
and know it is the law of nature to love in
the spring of the year and the spring time
of our lives and please give more discrip- |
ton of yourself when you write next time |
and have good health and do you know the |
stamp Irritation if you don't can send you
a copy of them.
Please exbuse bad writing and mistakes
this time will close.
When days are dark and friends
Are few thinks of a friend
That thing of you.
Yours very respectfully,
CLEO NJ. MARTIN.
After having shown you this much it will |
hardly be necessary for me to state that |
this improved match making machinery is |
complete success. One agency boasts that |
it made thirty matches during the |
month of April of this year, and you all |
know that with the old fashioned machinery |
it often required six months of the most |
careful manipulation to make single |
match, and during all this time the manu-
facturer's life was in danger, whereas now
lhe matches are made with perfect safety |
Of course this will tend to cheaper matches,
and we are bound to accept it as another
added to the long list of evidences that the
Nineteenth century is one of progress.
SILVER SAND.
