So Dry That Trees Are Dying and
Fruit Drying.

To THE EDITOR: | see by THE
GAZETTE that you have been blessed
with an abundance of rain this year,
and I also detect, now and then, a
voice of complaint. Some one thinks
they are having too much rain. Let
me say to one and all don't COM
plain.
We had rain and mud here last
spring till people complained and
even cursed the one that sentit, and
now they will have to pray for rain
or suffer. We have had no rain for
three months and everything is
drying up The dust rolls up in
clouds from the road as teams 60 by.
The trees are dying, the fruit is
dried. We have no fruit even
the blackberry has failed. The
gardens are all dried up. The
wheat aud oat crop was a failure.
Some are paying 10 cents bushel
to thresh what little bit thew have,
and pay the help and furnish the
coal.
If the readers of THE GAZETTE
could see the trees here they would
rejoice that they are SO highly fav
ored: Talk about the sunny south!
There is not week passes but we
turn our eyes to the north where
there is plenty and wish we were
there, and we will be there, too, if
we can ever. sell out.
This country is all right if you
can live on climate, wood, and water.
But it is hard to make'a living here
and almost impossible to get out of
debt.
The day laborer can live better
in Minnesota than the farmer can
here. If people could sit down and
be satisfied and let we'll enough
alone, how much happier they would
be. There is no Paradise on this
earth.
We went to the first public decor
alton service that Athens ever had
on May 28th, and you may imagine
our feelings on seeing the rebel flags
floating everywhere with only here
and there our OVID beloved flag. We
felt as though we were far from the
land of the free and the home of the
brave.
The GAZETTE is like good news
from far off country.

on his followers that many of the
American states were against Pres
ident McKinley's policy in the Phil
ippines and that as soon as Demo-
cratic president is elected in 1900
the American troops will be with
drawn. Therefore the insurgents
should be encouraged to continue
the fight and kill our soldiers and
resent our authority until next cleo
ton. When Aguinaldo reads Gov.
Lind's Vasa speech he will be still
more encouraged.
One of the leading editors of the
state has this to say regarding the
Miller-Lind controversy:
ut is a noticeable fact that the
fusion press is displaying great glee
over the retraction of Senator Miller
as to what he said about the motives
which actuated Gov. Lind to veto
the bill authorizing the certificatior
of testimony that might be taken be
fore it to any court before which ar
appeal might be taken, but they
carefully refrain rom going any far
Their and speak of the senator S re
marks on what he believes to be the
erring in judgment of the governor
in the matter. They would have the
people believe that Senator Miller
had backed down and left the field
entirely, when as a matter of fact he
simply retracted SO far as he had al.
legged motives, but severely criti-
cises the governor S Judgment, or
lack of judgment, which he has a
perfect right to do, and so does not
let the governor down very lightly
after all.
