A Place OF Peace and Quietude
where All are Happy.
1t strikes me that perhaps you
would be pleased to get note, now
and then from our little town
known as Gourd Valley. 1t Is
rather a small place but not half as
small as some places. 1t is quite a
pleasant little place and its location
is known by very ew people, but
from its name, and from your cor
respondent from this place, you
may judge that it is quite green.
Knowing very little OF the world
outside OF our Valley, and outside
people knowing still less of us it
would be of interest, Ito us at least)
to see note from US in your paper.
Ihave heard that you keep in
your office a basket called the, waste
basket, in which you put notes
which do not sound just right. Not
knowing but that my notes may lift
up their eyes in this awful slop-
bucket, / will just say that 1t is very
little difference to me what be-
GENES of my notes, but / wish to
ask you, if you do destroy the notes,
please retain the paper until l call
for it, as my wife wants it to make
a hens nest.
The health of cur town Is very
good at present, but there is only a
very few of the inhabitants who are
in very poor health just at present
Crops all very good, and espec-
tally of pigs and rain.
One of the young men of your
place, known as Richard Chandler
has been seen in our town, and we
wish to recommend him to the pub
lie as successful young doctor, as
we hear he has been taking spe'
cial course by mail.
We understand that a Christmas
Cantata given in Columbian Hal
in your town was a great success
but that it might have been better
for in the opinion of the foreman il
was injured by too much practice
He had practiced SO much that he
didn't know when to let the curtain
fall. +.
