Along about this time of year the
man In the city gets the country
fever. He is aweary Of the noise and
grind, and his aircasties are builded
in the verdant valleys where the
swallows homeward fly where the
siivery nightingale chants her refrain,
where the country folks call each 9th
er Bill" and Hank" and swap chew
ing tobacco and yarns for pastime.
Several times a day he is reminded
that God made the country and man
made the town" He is unlike the lit
tie girl upstairs who was told not to
be afraid of the thunder as God was
with her. Her reply has often been
told:
Papa, let me come down and sleep
with mamma and you come up and
stay with God awhilel"
The man in the metropolis is Will
ing the cOuntryman should come to
the city and see the sights hear the
noise and be impressed, but what he
wants is to escape to the quietude OF
the rural districts and be with God
and Gods handiwork awhile. He Is
nauseated with metropolitan scenes
and customs. He yearns to get out
into the pure air preserves where he
can drink buttermilk and study the
locomotion Of the wabbly, new calf.
Bacon says, God Almighty first
planted a garden"-and the city man
yearns to follow in His footsteps. He
believes with Cowper that rural sounds
as well as rural sights exhilarate tho
spirit, and he longs to hear the low
OF the brown-eyed, clover-breathec
heifer, the chorus OF the frogs and the
farmer lad calling "Poighl Poighl"
to the hogs.
He would be somewhere where he
does not have to tip the waiter and
have his trousers creased. Keats, In
substance, says that TO one who has
been long in city pent, It is sweet to
look into a country sky. the open face
Of heaven. and breathe a prayer. There
the meadow-lark, aslant on his waving
perch. calls to his mate, the rich odors
Of plowed fields arise, mingled with
the perfume Of the wild violet and
plum.blossoms.
Is It not enough to fidget the toiler
in a stfing Office where an odor Of
fried ham filters in from a hardly

1t is no wonder. we insist, that the
whites in the rural districts are opposed
to negro letter-carriers, for these car
riers come around every day and visit
the houses of farmers when the men are
away and when the women are unpro-

negro carrier Is n man OF good roputa-
