SUBSCRIPTION: Sl.OO Per Year.

Greasy she had found another one OF
them little female letters. 1t vas to
the squire. 1t was fixed up powerful
like the Widder MiIford's handwrite,
and it was likewise also signed Low
ingly Yours, Mittie." They thought at
first that Miss Creesy would faint
away, but she soon recovered and
opened on the squire. She read some
little snatches from the letter out
loud right there in the crowd and then
she fairly scorched the air with her
opinions of old Steve and the widder.
Squire Blanton he prayed and he
begged, and he begged and he prayed.
But it wouldn't go down with Miss
Greasy. She had stood the scandala-
tion of one letter from Mittie Milford
to the squire, but two of kind in one
day was altogether too many.
"And from all the general appear
ments, Rufus, that second letter must
have been sugar-coated and out of
sight. They tell me that it had the
smell of cinnamon draps about it,
whilst every other word was 'Darlin'
and Honey and the like Of that.
"The women folks they got Miss
Creesy off down to the spring to see IL
they couldn't do somethin to hush the
storm, whilst some of the brethren helt
an eXtre prayer meetin with the squire.
The Widder Milford she was there on
the grounds, and she told everybody
that Miss Blanton was barkin up the
wrong stump, as she had never writ ~
letter to a man of that name in all of her
born days. / have no doubts but what
the widder told the truth in that re-
CARDS, but the whole united world
couldn't make Miss Greasy believe il.
She wanted to scratch Afittie Milfords
eyes out, and tear her raven locks up by
the roots, and it took six or seven COM
mon women TO keep her from proceedin
with the proceedins along that line.
''But at last Miss Greasy went homo
with some of her kinnery. Squire
Blanton went on back to his lonely
tireside, whilst the Widder Milford she
remains over on the camp grounds till
yet. In the mainline Will Tom Pick
ems has let the cat out of the wallet ag
to who it was that writ them little fe-
male letters. The women folks are now
at work tryin to get Miss Greasy to be-
lieve VIII Tom and forgive the squire.
which ! reckon she will soon git tired
and quit pullin on the bits. Old Sieve
is innocent and hopeful, whilst the Wild
der Milford still wears the finest clothes
the camp grounds. You ought to GO
over there, Rufus, and hear the news
and save the couHt"v."
