verna's Letter From CulIeoka.

CULLEoKA, Nav 3.-LasJ week THE
HERALD was SO filled with news anG
good reading matter it seemed to nae
hat the hopper was fuil, ana, there
fore, grist IN ght be withheld. But that
WAS week ago; and meanwhile our
quarterly conference has met, conduct
ed its hmsiness and adjourned, and sew
eral other events have TRANSFERRED.
Taking The two facts together, feel at
libarty to write.
Nav has opened with summer wealth
er soft, warm and enervatlng. The
buds and flowers, sternly repressed
throughout March and most OF April,
are rushing rapidly forward, and wood,
meadow, garden and lawn Rave under
gone rapid and surprising transfOrma-
tons. Farm work is steadily moving
on. Most of our farmers are through
gardening and planting corn and cot
ton, and sowing millet, steering sheep
and "working over" corn is the order
of this week.
Politically speaking, I see "Old Pete"
is growing on the people. Our citizens
are about equally divided betw cen him
and Gov. Buchanan. One hOrny-haEd-
ed son of toll, VINO Is "agin" the Alli-
auce and Buchanan, said to me recent
ly: "NO, Miss VernR, in 1890 L was not
a Josiah Patterson man, 1 know old
Josiah better'n you do. was agin i'm.
Josiah is good Democrat, butts he
any kin to you? | was not a Baxter
man-nO, not much. l was more inter-
than in elecLing anybody else, so fit
withIthe Taylor men. Yes, l was agin
Buchanan. L was, at the beginning,
where you are now. I'm agin old Buck
and will go Tor Brer Pete Turney."
Our county ticket is good one; of
course 1t will be elected. There
will be no more fun at our county
elections. No opposition to our
ticket, hence no occasion for night
or fracus, or to stuff a ballOt-box. The
registration law and the poll-tax law
has knocked all the stutfin' Out'n the
Republican party. Well have no fun
no more unless 1T be over the election of
our Dem Ocratic Presidential ticket this
fall.
