ing on his way to the county home.
It may be noticed that We don't write
much about war Now, Kay, don't ask
MS to express any opinion along this
line, for we arc trying to read, write
: aid think just us little about the Span
/ .rds rs possible.
| fthcrc are rs many wet days for the
next week or two rs there have bee H..
for the past two weeks, we farmers arc
goipg TO get behind with our plant
ing.
Mr.. c. l.. Wilson is preparing for
war. Another littlo soldier came to
! his house last week.
MIR. NJ. G.. Moore thinks that there
will be no war, therefore he took in Il
little ono who will help take care OF the
domestic affairs Of life.
| Nc one in this section observed Good
| Friday. Everybody seemed to be in u
hurry and worked on just the same.
There was communion services at
Bachmam Chapel last Sunday. Rev.
BooZcr preached quite an appropriate
sermon for the Easter OCCASION There
was Il large congregation in attend
ance. The new council was ordained

Easter occasion in memory of our risen

Colony and st. Paul's on Sunday next,
and also communion at st. Philips on

Brother Kay, you must pardon me IN
waiting SO long to answer your letter
OF the 25th ultimo. In spite of all |
can do, you will throw out SO MANY of
those big stunncrs, which put me to u
great deal OF trouble. ! have Dcruscd
my Old digcstcr through and have
failed to find anything thai speaks
about cooglcr Now YOU ought to
know how II newspaper man is in this
respect. He hates to show his iyno-
rance so much us to inquire into such
things, but, old fellow, you may think
that you have got old Chips in pen,
but he Will get out just as sure us you
live. ! have been out to Prosperity
looking around your places of business
to see il | could find any such n thino
us co"glcr, and just us | opened the
door OF your drug store there was some
thing on the inside which began to
ting, ting, ting. / looked around
through little excitement and asked
DR.. John what kind of Il machine did
nc call That, but soon found that You
had the doctor pretty we'll posted, and
he Jailed to give me any definite infor-
nation. But just at this time | caught
on to the trick and laughed in nv
sleeves and said: ooh! yes, this is old
Rays cooglcr.' | then went hack and
opened the door to hear it Google
again. Now surely, old bud, you don't
think that old Chips could ever learn to
go like that thing? You don't want
nm to turn out to be Il cricket, hope.
Ana more than this, it would not do
ior me to attach such thing to my
door, because if | did the little Chips
would be opening and shl ing it SO
continuously to hear it Google that |
would become SO provoked until would
never be able to pick up another chin.
Now, Mr.. Editor, have laid the mat
ter before you; do you think that need
such thing? No, old bud, am not in
very bad humor, neither am I morti-
icd over what the Legislature did in
regard to the abolition Of my Office. I
hope that | may never come to the con-
cluslon that public pap is my only
chance for livelihood No, bud.
nave neither time nor desire for iunket-
ing around at the present, and possibly
Old Mrs. Chips could explain the cause
better than l. Now, old bud, don't YOU
get up the idea that am trying to pre-
Jndlcc old Mrs. Kay against you; not q
bit of this. You know that Mrs. Kav
well understands our game, and | be-
lteve that she thinks just like ol5 Mrs.
Chips-that she has made good
choice. And If VIC have got the Door
old souls fooled, let's try and keep it to
ourselves.
1t seems that tho whole county has
got into tit of uproar, and a clan Of
sensation prevails all the while. The
minds of the people for the past week or
ten days have been agitatcd upon the
st. Philips disturbance, or war as The
Herald and News pronounces it. We
have heard representatives of both
sides OF the question make statements,
ana upon the whole The Herald,s re-
port was very clear and unbia scd ac-
count or the matter. 1t has always
