INTERESTING LETTER.
The following letter from II. C. Cram,
directed to Misses Cummings, may be of
interest to some of the older inhabitants of
Acworth:
jacksonville, La, April 4, 90.
LADIEs-Seeing your names frequently
in the Bellows Falls TIMES, and being n
native OF that section thought perhaps you
might give me some information regarding
the people and country. Am steamship
engineer by profession and have been on
steamers running from New Orleans to
Central America in the fruit and coffee
trade for 10 years. Have been in a meas
ure shut out Of the world and am way be-
hind In everything that is going on in the
world. When a child my people used to
frequently visit with Mr.. Cummings peo-
pie in Acworth. He was the leader of the
'old Acworth band and had children used
to play with. My father, being a must
clan, naturally drew them closer together
and later on was one myself. Suppose you
must be his children or grandchildren and
thought perhaps you might take pleasure in
reading. this Am entira1v alono ~ Tho
world, without relative; living so, my
mind naturally runs back to my birthplace
and to the days when used to fish in Gold
river, chase butterflies, stone swallows and
dig out woodchucks. Have quit running
on the water and am entirely lost. Came
so near being wrecked so many times at
sea was afraid to go any longer. read
the Bellows Falls TINES and Cold River
journal, but cannot get any definite news
by them that | can understand. They
mention news plenty, but cannot place
them. Suppose you all have wheels. l
never saw a girl ride one and don't see
how they can unless they dress like men.
The birds all left here long ago. We are
eating new potatoes, peas and all kinds of
garden sauce; they do the year around.
We have all kinds of pests in the insect
line, mosquitoes are fearful to night feas
also. If you answer please write anything
about the people and town; it will be inter.
esting to me. Has Acworth village grown
any the last 30 yearsP South Acworth
must be quite place but don't see where
1T could be built only on the sides of the
hills. Yours with respect,
H. c. CRAM.
