Our principal roads are soon to be mac
adamized. and the legislature will be
memorialized. This will be of untold
benefit to both.
The condition of this county is rapidly
approaching completion, and will one
day add to those already past. thus gath
ering in its wonderful career all those
which is held forth to be, as the good
Book has said. For the night cometh
when no man shall roll together as
scroll, falling some on good ground and
some on the just as well as the unjust"
and, as Isaiah would say. if do not for
get the exact wording, $50 forth as the
cedars Of Lebanon or great rock in a
weary land to cry out, fear not and
flourish from the rising of the sun even
unto the third and fourth generations of
just men made perfect"
The above suggests to me note just
received from a correspondent of mine
who has been writing to me regularly
for over two years, though / have not
answered any of his letters because they
were too deep for me. Profound thought
on religious or political matters the doc
tors have warned me against, as either
one carried to excess causes the forma-
ton af large Jumps in the brain, and at
times ia apt to promote fungus growth
in the n,1.th side of the brain cell
Two weeks ago got letter from this
man. but could not seem to quite cope
with hainor rothar ,al
reasoning, and better fitted. perhaps, for
watching P. T. Barnum's tomb than for
active mental exertion in hot weather.
So judge of my delight when received
the following yesterday:
Mr.. Edgar w. Nye:
DEAR SIR-Although il should not be a con-
sideration and rerp probably is not | would
like to say wish to take back the suggestions
sent you other than applied to myself in
creased 10 the extent that want nothing TO do
with It whatever also probably uncalled for.
The third party is all right enough and can be
improved as having something TO it and in any
case is working in from every view the best
direction free and the question brought up
taken out or given a back seat or promi-
hence or hedged, free silver coinage no good
can possibly come from, but which within a
need could be a thousand times better handled
and meet lease more money need and accom-
-
Of or furthered with it. The back gold pay idea
in regard TO Illogical nonsense as question and
especially unjust in opsidedness both within
the present condition and as policy.
Very respectfully yours, - -.
There are three other men and a wom-
an who are writing Inc on the same
subject every week. like their clear
and unanswerable logic, but cannot do
the work on large farm and expect TO
be quick enough to grasp all these great
questions in minute.
The fact is, that by the time | have
done all the chores at night and bathed
my chubby feet at the well and wiped
them On the grass | ought TO go TO bed.
and TOO often | do so when mental
growth / can see has TO be sacrificed and
nice profound thoughts remain in an IN
thought state.
have also got another correspondent
who thinks he is geological epoch. He
threatened to come and visit me at my
home That is why came here. Here
know that am safe. Unless some one
repairs the roads.
