Seem Uncle Isaac's writins in
the Huntingburg Independent,
aroused my boyhood enthusiasm
from way back in the 4O's, when |
list used TO delight in wriiin up the
doias Of Dogwood holler. and hang
ed if kin git over it. so If you Will
allow me to occupi little peace OF
your paper ! will promise TO use
economy in my articles, and not
use mutch OF your valuable paper
| alwaos did feel like il was a grand
honor to write for a paper that en-
Joys good circulation and | know
the COURIER has the most subscri-
bers, more than all the tothers in
the county put together. l don't
say This because the tOther papers
are not up-to-date papers, for they
are, and | like 10 read the writins
from all the correspondents, espec-
tally the writins OF "yonr cores
ponoent from this place, and Tn
Gle lsaac'S in the Huntingburg
Independent. Uncle Isaac writes
that they had good roads meetin
or something OF that sort in Hunt
lngburg, so we had a similar meetin
like that at Jasper. Mayby Uncle
Isaac don't see the pint To give

the prospect Of railroad being

Mr.. Editor, when a man quits
writIn up d0in- that happens in his
neighborhood nigh on 10 twenty
five years il makes him feel purity
awkward gettin his sentences framed
good and solid. Betsy says she
thinks kin d. better after a few
times writin.
Mr.. Editor, our schools are all out
and from the number of scholars
that graduated | think the three
schools must a been a purity sue
cessful term Say, Mr.. Editor, ha,

played nifty fine joke nn him to-
ther night. You zee the scholars
wanted to show the Prof. how thev
his kindness toward
them a. a good teacher. 50 they
made up a good smart surprise par
ty, and inst rushed righ' in on the
Prof. without waitin' 10 knock at
the door, which would abin countei
a little naughty ia my grOwIn up,
for they caught the Prof. with bis
hat on and in his sock feet, with his
coat of. You jist ort TO seed hi
face color up. He was a total sur
prise
Mr.. sam Payne treated his school
to an outin, on the afternoon Of the
las day. Mr.. Payne got a four
horse team and took his scholars
down to Flat creek fishin. Betsy
and think that was yery kind Of
Mr.. Payne. and the children had
ort to hold themselves under lastin
obligations OF respect TO their teach
er fur such acts of kindness Mr.

writin-. We will close
