premiums for such work. l would be
glad to hear from those who would be
glad to act in this way and who are
willing to stand by me as president.
Of course there will be disappointed
applicants, for all cannot be appointed,
but L shall do the best can in the dis
tribution Of patronage, knowing that my
job depends upon it.
My health now is real good.
The following letter is given here
with fictitious name to it, but it is
bona fde letter and shows in neat and
terse way the naive and wholly untram-
meled style Of rhetoric taught at the
college alluded to- One can almost as
he reads see old Pegasus with protrud-
ing and grass inflated abdomen snorting
athwart the clover enameled fields of
fancy with burdock burs in his tail:
TUCALo, Ga, June &c.
Nr Bill Nye:
DEAR SIR-In perusng a paper recently
came across your experience as well digger.
and really, MIR. Nye. | must confess that |
laughed with an emigrant's delight when |
read where the famous Bill Nye had gone to
work at hard labor. Poor fellow! | certainly
feel sorry for you, after all Of your happy days
spent in travelling around the world and your
pleasant occurrences with the hotel maids and
the terable disasters that has happened 20 you
abroad. | surely can sympathize with you.
Your picture of drilling rock is very fiattery,
and would advise you to keep from dynamite
(as you are not like myself 296 pound person..
but a small, dried up gentleman, and if an ex-
plosion would take place the air would be
full of the fragments thereof that no more Of
you could be seen.
Your lot seems as mine-trouble, hard labor,
and. like the Bad Boys Dairy, always into
something that you know but little about. |
feel for Mrs. Nye, your better half. / know
you must yourself. Some one has told me she
is such good Christian lady, but your terrible
experiences will cause her to go down to the
grave sooner. l sure do love to write to the old
tar heel state. | was college girl at Salem,
y. c., for four years, while then resident OF
Atlanta, and never enjoyed life any sweeter
before or since. But l am living in the country
now, surrounded by all the vexations life can
have, but l suppose that / make my life more
miserable than ought to. | was glad to read
in your Litarary Works that you had such
good neighbors That is great blessing be-
slowed upon you after all your trials. You
speak of Vanderbilt being near you. Stick to
made by it in his last days Wish was near
kindred to him and would feel like starting
newspaper foundation. | only hope by the
time hear from you again that you have taken
up a new work. as the weather is to warm to
be drilling holes in hard rock. / see by your
pants and By the patch that your coat and vest
has had a law suit, and pants went up wit
ness aud has not came back. l asked the
question once of a traveller who once came
through this country why it was that Bill
Nye had no hair on his head and always wore
a cap TO hide the crown? and his reply was that
a Democrat and Radical got into fight, and
Bill went between to part for peace, and they
thought his head was a cocoanut shell and
pulled all the hair out. | then gave him ID
understand that while the hair pulling was
going on the brain knowledge stiiled remained.
l must take up for Bill Nye, as Saturdays
paper would be of no use to me without read
ing his great reaown Litarary Works and look
ing at the beautiful pictures.
WILL / suppose you are tired Of my foolish /
ness, and l will contemplate in bringing the
epistle to a clothes after | have given YOU a /
bright idea of guinia raising. have been in /
the poultry raising some or years and /
think guinia the most beneficial of all fowls, !
and can give you another good reason why |
they are so useful and gratuitous, but you |
know all about it, you just wanted to see who !
would take the guinia question up. l live in |
the country, but am a thinker from quite q |
ways up the gulch. Thought with me is near |
Daggatell.
We had a guinia once that stole her nest and |
we could not find her. At last we give her up, |
out one day was setting on the stair steps of |
he porch and all at once l was reminded of |
,hc guinia, and / said bet she was under the /
porch think quick at such times. / sent my
little brother under the porch. de only weighs
10 pounds. He found the guinia there. She
vas dead, and had been the like of that for
weeks. That is what made me think of her.
Well, hope you will receive this letter and
AXE nothing but kindness from my part. / am
always jolly in my writings.
Best respects TO Mrs. Nye, and a great deal
If sympathy also for her broken hearted cir
,umstances. and great deal also extend to
your self. Very respectfully,
Mrs. VIOLET DE PEYsTER NUDGE
