LETTER FROM CAss.

EDITOR TEXARKASIAN:-Seeing q
letter from Uncle Ned, Of Ida, La,
and requesting Old GRAY to write
again, here I come With all nv force
and vigor.
An proud Uncle Ned found ey-
erything at J. r. Patterson & Co. 5
as represented.
/ could feel nv manhood rise up
when Uncle Ned talked about giT-
ing ne a licking, but he is honest
and alright. Your letter has the
right nng. Well, Uncle Ned, 1
want to post you still more. I was
Iup at Bloonburg several times
since you wrote last, and found J.
R. Patterson & Co. hauling sut and
loading a car Of 8eur bought from
the Cameron Mills, Ft. Worth, Tex.
It did not give satisfaction, sOthey
sent It back, and are now buying
their -four from Missouri. Now
| Uncle Ned don't rest til you 60 to
]. R. Patterson & Co.'S and get a
barrel Of that "SOlid Comfort" -four
its a honey. Ny wife says it will
make any family happy that uses
it. It will only cost YOU s. 5J-sec-
oad grade, 800.
Mr.. Patterson teld me the other
day that he was going to sell and
keep the best of everything-noth-
ling too gsod for his customers. TIE
other day some we're discussing
prices, and one merchant present
said Patterson was crazy. Great
Heavens! its a great pity some more
of the merchants were not struck
with the same dlsase.
Patterson & Co. have a sign
| painter painting signs which they
! tell me they are going over the
country to post up-thev are real
nice. They have a car of GuauO
which they claim the best quality,
and l am going TO try about two
tons of it, and see what it will do
for me
I see Patterson & Co. advertise in
the Texarkanian, and I see what it
is doing for them-wby they are
busy all the time. Say, why don t
/ these other fellows advertise?
Isaw in enc of your issues where
one Of our merchants was up there
and called to see you and you came
very near being kin folks, but that
didn't do US any good. Why didn't
he tell US what he was in favor of,
high or low prices? I love to see
people come out and say what they
are going to do for the people.
| Now Uncle Ned l hope you will
like this letter, aud write from ysur
state and Keep the people posted,
and if you have yearling to sell
bring it along to ]. r. Patterson &
Co. s, as it is a legal tender.
Now Mr.. Editor, wishing you and
Uncle Ned, also ]. r. Patterson &
Co., an happy and prosperous New
Year; [ remain,
