how l have near nextdoor neighbor,
f. X. Bondurant who is on the track and
if you please, don't forget him. Our
present incumbent is a mighty clever
fellow and has made US an excellent
officer. The race, it seems to mo, will
be considerably mixed but both OF these

Mr.. Dowell has asked me peis ,nally to

after the wa, we hardly know how-it
can again with right leaders. Hasten
the day
