 As everybody has his likes and dis likes-as Josiah Aliens wife would say-his favorites and on-favorites. from "A" on down the alphabet to that letter I can't make, regardless of the fact that he may say he has no favorites or is no respector of persons, yet when it comes to a showdown the facts are visible. I rather like your paper and shall not try to keep it hid to please the other fellow. I see from the pages of the INDEPEND- ENT that you are undergoing a degree of persecution. All new things must and will be tried by fire. Any song you may sing, the sentiment of which is different from that sickly song sung by the would-be ancient bards. you are at once jumped onto with both feet. Many of them are indeed very ancient (the bards), and have not been free from chains in so long a time, that the word independent is without meaning to them. Sold as it were, soul and body to their god (party or ring).
 We have church at Hopewell every Sunday and it is we'll attended. Lots of boys and the finest lot of real pret- ty girls you ever saw. We also have good singing. When T. o. Reid, Alex. Buford and all the girls commence to sing, one is at once transported as it were into
 "Elysium fields of fruits and flowers, That's foreign to this state;
 Ten thousand birds in leafy bowers, All singing to their mate."
 Now don't say come down, haven't scared very high and besides it does me good to take a flight now and then
 Wiley Mccartney is getting in a good lot of logs preparatory to start ing his mill. will tell you in my next correspondence something about the great city of Remmel and it's progress slve business enterprises and citi- zens. l may make the shoe pinch, look out.
 Things are moving along in tip-top shape in this neighborhood, every body up with their work and gone fishing. Crops look fine; weather all that could be desired.
