Mr.. Editor, I presume you are
getting happy now and picking up
while on your rounds after the de-
lilq1ents. You certainly deserve al
you get and more too. You ought to
be voted a pension for life for the
magnsnimous way you defended the
Dutch Fork section in attempting to
secede from grand old Lexington.
II you were not the Editor I would
nominate you for next governor. I'm
little inclined to propose you for
Senator, anyway.
