Since writing my last letter have had |
the pleasure of visiting Breckenridge |
county, the home of the News. In COM
pany with friend we made the trip in |
buggy, a distance of thirty miles, over |
the worst roads in the county. When |
our journey was ended we were so high |
ly entertained by our friends, Mr.. Nelson |
Jolly and his estimable wife and their

"Pennyrile" enough here TO keep the
'skeeters out OF Ekron all summer.
