Country Woman. Backwoods, Mss.-As
l have seen 50 many letters in The Con-
stitution from ladies who do not ike
Sarge Plunketts letters, l concluded
would try To say a word in his behalf
I Ike his letters immensely ana agree
with him about country life being better
l.,
women using hoes in the field, and, in
fact, have seen them performing almost
all kinds of labor that is to be done on
a farm except plowing. / have never
seen one at that but in this part OF the
country she has to chop her own wood
and then bring il in, bring her own wa
ter which sometimes must come from
a spring 200 yards away, milk her own
cows. cook her supper, feed her chickens,
aud sometimes the cows and horses as
I well And in addition TO this she some
times has seven or eight little ones TO
care for besides numerous other Things
that l have not space 10 mention Yer
| would take country life in preference
10 city life. for IN the country one al
ways has something TO make them think
of God. Who can see the hills covered
with grass and flowers, the beautlful
stream with nower-lincd bank and water
so bright and cool and clear and hear
the soughing of the pines and watch the
majestic oaks of the forest, with their
millions of leaves nutterins in the
breeze without feeliuS oi awe ana
reverence for God? While IN the city
everything is the work Of man. A beau
tiful building or a picture is praised more
than all Gods works. have often
thought that there would be more coun-
/ know there are some good city people
and plenty Of bad ones in the country.
] would certainly love to see Sarge Plum
kett, for l believe he is "A grand Old man
who does not let the seriousness of this
world mar his checrfulness. The Bible
says: ~ merry heart dOeth good like a
medicine" But 1 can almost see the
irown on Aunt Susies face as she hesi-
tates whether To throw this in the waste
basket or not, $50 / guess 4 had better bid
You all adleu, though 1 intended 10 say
a few good words for Bin Arp, but If
this does happen 10 get printed L may
come again.
Mrs. q. W. Colley. Morgan, Ga.-How
dreary 1t is for women TO sit sill espe-
cially on hot afternoons like this one.
So l come TO my brightest spot next 10
my love OF old friends. for / always feel
better for being with Aunt Susie and the
dear good sisters. Surely 1t is 10 them
] owe a great deal OF my happiness.
There isn't much To talk about in this
1 quiet corner OF the worlu. then, too /
am a little blue On going TO my
smoke house few mornings since l
found 1 had been robbed Of sixteen fine
hams and fifty pounds of lard. But life
is too short to waste one moment in de-
Tloring our lot. How [ sympathize with
/ Bill Arp in his sickness ana the loss of
4 llS dear DlDLntE / KNOW something OF
! these trials, having lost my hrst-oorn.
/ ] think the heaviest aftliction of life Is
that of the mother who has lost child
As the waters roll In on shore with In
! cessant throbs-not alone when storms
/ prevail. but in Gains as well-So II is
with a mothers heart bereaved of her
children. Death always speaks with a
voice of instruction and reproof but
when the first death happens in a home
IL speaks with a voice which scarcely
any other form OF tribulation can equal.
As I am very fond of art and music will
some one please tell me the name OF
some monthly magazine containing col
/ ored studies suitable for oil painting.
/ also a musical journal which has pretty
pieces Of music? I am very much inter
ested ia poultry raising and any one hav-
/ ing an incubator for exchange let mo
4 know; write with stamp. l have many
! things to offer I'm exchange for one. VIII
say 10 those who have written for my
| Yeast cakes that I am now ready to fur
/ nish them, and also have fresh lot OF
collard seed, both the green glaze head
/ er and white ANY sister wishing some
| old-fashion onion sets will send me post

/ as I have any. Knowing that The Con-
| stitution visits many homes in Virginia
I and Tennessee I feel sure that the eyes
\ of some dear college chum may fall on
/ name was Cora Dunn and would be so
! glad to hear from any of those who at
/ tended college at Goodson, Va. in 1884.
