We were down at Mr. Austin Coppin-
gers last Wednesday and Thursday
with him and neighbors. lie was kind
and ioval. AS the people of the cove
aresall kind and jovial you may know
what we did. We destroyed lot of
spare ribs and sausage and had a nice
time there We saw Mr. R. p. Jones is
is as peart as \ snow bird. Only one
thing we regret was that we did not get
to visit Bro. Levi Bowlin. We saw Mr.
Austin Coppinger try to tic his shoes,
but his back bone happened to be before
him and he could not band forwards, so
he had to have help to tie his shoes. II
it were not for this encumbrance he
would be hustler, but there are not
many men that beat him anyway.
Mrs. Curtis is little worse by her
trip to Austin Coppinger's and your cor
respondent is also somewhat worstrd,
probably because we ate too much at
AusLln's and Mrs. Angoline Curtis and
Dan Ferguson's. You see, they just
piled up the spare ribs, sausage, pres,
roast ears, jelly, and a host of good
things, and We were like the girl at the
wedding, we were always such fools
that we like everything that is good,
Well, we hopo to be better in the
future.
Mrs. +. NJ. Eakin has moved off the
mountain to Wash Martins near Wash

Sunday. He was complaining some
wuat from crippled shoulder supposed

All the children of the Sunday school
are enquiring of-Uncls John about MISS

her again as their school teacher. They
say, "yes do, Uncle John, please do"
So say they all.
