BLACKFooT IDAHO SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 25 1898

Bradstleet's reports activity in the
wool market and big sales, ard all Of
this in the face Of free wool.
The many friends of Mrs. L. A.
Burrell will be panied to learn that
she is still seriously i'll and with no
perceptible change for the better with
in the past 48 hours. Skilled physi-
cisns and loving watching relatives
and friends are giving her every care
and all join in expressions of hope
that symptoms Of improvement may
soon appear.
Boise City and Ada county have
stirred up a humble bees nest. They
allege that ex-Assessor Cess turned
into his own bank from $4,000 to
$4,000 more than he should have done.
They are hurrying right into the courts
with the matter. In the mean time
the ex-assessor smiles in his sleeve,
and inyites the fullest investigation.
He says Il know where am at. {"
"There was a sound of revelry BY
night, and Belgium's capital had gath
cred there" But that's the wrong
quotation: We started out to say that
Governor Mcconnell is having a tri-
umphant time in his travels through
Fremont county, this week. Old men
and matrons, young men and maidens,
teachers and scholars, mothers and
babies turn out en- masse 70 greet him
and to hear him. If the Governor
does not return to Boise with the inn
preston Il am strictly IN it, then
the continuous ovations in Fremont
are not as impressive as we take them
to be. But alas Rounds OF pleas
ure are not as lasting as a shoemak-
er's last.

Idaho. have never known of the
beauties Of groves and Of forests as /

beautiful in their autumn dresses. AT
this season they are rich in colors.
| notice the golden leaves of the
fruitful hickory tree; the carmine of
the dogwood; the brown and russet
of the different oaks and the varying
greens of the pine, the laurel and the
holly. These groves and forests are
planted by Natures own hand and
her blending of the colors make them
all the more beautiful.
The nut season is in full harvest

young people of Blackfoot to gather
hicSorYnuts, walnuts, chestnuts, FL
berts and even the acorn as they
grow in perfection and profusion here.
What tr.at to sit down on car

the nuts with stones, and make the
forests ring with merry laughter and
expressions of merriment ana fun.

inc old plantation darkies of the long
ago. | enjoy seeing them and watch
ing their darkey ways and manners.
To me some of their meetings are as
enjoyable as a mintrel matinee or con-
cert.
Today some of our old family ser
wants called to see us. The meeting
between my mother and them was
both tender and touching. | never
realized before that it could be that
way.
If your readers win pardon me I
will give them brief account Of my
introduction to one Of our old planta-
tion grandmammies.
When my mother said: "Aunt
Chloe, this is my daughter, you never
saw her before" She seized my ex-
tended right hand in both of her old
hard bony hands and kissing it again
and again, said
ABress de Lawd, bress de Lawd, and
you is my young marster and misses
darter. Well, well, who would have
tbinked 1t, grown up, nice young
lady Bress you soul, chile. Use
hearn tell Of you, but | never spected
to sot eyes on you But sence | cum
to look at you close, | bleeve I'd
known you ef met you in de middle
Of de road"
"You is sure nuff de 'spress image
of your nanny when she was gal
like you"
II members like yistiddy when
my young marster and misses was
marrid, and they made as putty a
cupplv as | ever seed. And you is
ther darter, well, well, we'll.
Then calling up two of her grand
children, who accompanied her she
said "You Malindy and you Maria
Jane,you come right here close up and
see dis young misses, de darter Of
my marster and misses, what's come
from a furin land across the Mass
sippi river, where dars lots of wild
injuns. | knowed her nanny afore she
was born and now she is a grown lady
and de press image Of her nanny.
Well, bress de Lawd, and then drop
ping her head forward and closing
her eyes, she patted her foot ana rock
ing to and fro, repeated at increasing
intervals "umph.u-u-u, bress the Lawd.
Umph-u-u-u, bress dc Lawd."
CROPS, POLITICS, ETC.
The farmers of this section have
been blessed with good crops Of to-
bacco this year. Here tobacco is king.
The man who cannot raise tobacco
and cure it properly is not entitled to
the name of farmer, he is worse than
"poor white trash"
When we reached the county poll
tics was the excitement of the hour.
The election was over and the Demo-
Gratis had a famous victory. The race
was between Democrats and Populists.
They tell me the Popnlists were not
in it, and they add as far as the future
goes, may hang their harps upon the
willows and fold their tents and silent
ly move away. TUE News will surely
be pleased with this one item of my
letter.
We are beginning to talk of our re-
turn to Idaho, of the new route we will
take, etc, but we have fixed no date
to say good by to relatives and friends
at this our old home. With kind re-
memberance for each one of our Black
foot friends, | close my tablet and for
the time say goodnight. B.
