Granger and Florenceville.
Mr.. Editor, when I wrote about
Uncle Adams did not think that /
would get blowing up for it, but as
"Dr. Haskins has given his side, / will
try and give the other"
Last winter Uncle Adams wanted
to live with bis daughter, Mrs. Has
kins, and had Mrs. Drummond write
to her and she wrote back that they
could not keep him. When Ash
Adams came home from Canton to
live with his father and mother they
decided him so acres of land with the
understanding that he should keep
them the rest OF their lives, and
mortgaged another 80 acres for S915.0O
at 10 per cent int. He also has 40
acre timber lot and acres of pasture
besides his home in Florenceville, La.
Now, his son, Asher and DR.. Haskins
went to Cresco before the board of
health and claimed that all he had
was heavily mortgaged. His son has
had one-third of the crops and his
wood for eight years from his fathers
land and the rent of the Florenceville
home for five years; and Furthermore,
they did not try to get anyone out
side of the family to take care of
Uncle Adams or offer to pay them
anything. Uncle Adams wanted to
sell the 40 acres timber to Mr.. st.
John and live with him and pay him
for his keep, but Asher and Haskins
wauld not hear to such thing. Now
Mr.. Editor, am not up for any more
arguments in regard to Uncle Adams,
but am sure he is going to have better
care than he has had, ''and without
being sent to Independence, la
