Here goes for the conclusion of our
Tuesdays letter.
wanted to say something about OR
trip to Long Lane. You have often
heard that ''it's long lane that has no
turn" But that Long Lane, the same
as all other lanes, has turn, and we
struck that turn last Saturday at the
home of our friend and cousin, Calvin
K. Baker. Mrs. w. and our oldest
daughter and son-in-law, w. W. XII
nard, were in company with US. We
divided at Mr.. Bakers, Mr.. and Mrs.
Kinard going to Mr.. S. A. Rikard's,
while we stopped over with Mr.. Baker
and kind family. We enjoyed their
hospitality for few hours. Mr.. Baker
is hustling farmer and is making good
money out of his farm. From here we
went over to Mr.. Thomas w. McCul-
lough's and spent the night, which we
most heartily enjoyed. This is another
kind family who lives and boards at the
same place, and their hospitality is far
beyond the ordinary. But our time was
limited and we had several birds to kill
with the same stone, so we had to keep
rolling. About nine o'clock we went
back to Mr.. S. A. Rikard's and j. H.
KILLERS and took dinner. 1t is need
less for US to say we enjoyed a few
hours here, for these are not only our
friends and kinfolks, but have been our
neighbors for number of years. We
met Mr.. R. E. Hunter who lives hero
and who has also been our neighbor.
In short the trip was very pleasant
one to US; and we were sorry that our
stay could not have been longer. This
is a progressive section of country.
The land is level and also very fertile.
The crops throughout this section show
that there has been no lack on the part
of cultivation, and the prospect for
good yield is quite promising. Alto
gether Long Lane is not only good
section of country, but is populated
with good people.
OTHER MATTERS.
We are needing rain at this writing.
Crops are on the eve of going back.
1t may be seen since our people have
finished laying by that they are on the
60, and possibly I may not be able to
keep up with them; if skip any one of
them hope they won't feel sighted.
"Polly Tics" are getting pretty warm
and the boys are busy now fixing up
their tickets.

very fine music which we always enjoy
very much. Thank you, young friends,

We hope the reading public will bear

this letter. We have about unloaded,
