BILL DOOLEVS LETTER.

will try to explain in this letter In
the first place | have been very busy
planting s1.95 potatoes and in the
second place l have just received a
shipment of fruit trees from Warren
county that were rep resented by the
salesman to be very fine trees and my
boys may live to see them bear if
they live to die with old age, but
from the size they are now it looks
doubtful. 1t would be sufficient to
say that the largest of them were
large enough for riding switches.
My third and best reason was that
was waiting for the excitement
caused by the split in the democratic
party at the convention at Jasper
some time ago. My interest in the
matter was to find out whether DIR.
n. B. Moore had withdrawn or
whether the Dr. was still in the fight
for the legislature. If he is am for
him teeth and toe nails for several
reasons. , In the first place the
Doctor is one of my best beloved
friends and in the second place his
professional services may be needed
in the legislature. Judging from the
stormy was things have started off
the next legislature promises to be a
breaking, jaw-bone smashing,
tooth .dislocating affair and the DR..
could do a big business practicing
his profession among the members.
This could be avoided to some ex-
tent by sewing up each corner of
some of the members mouths leaving
them loose mouth enough to whistle
with.
This leaves all the Dooleys we'll
except five OF the children who are
teething.
/ noticed piece in the local col
umn of the Dunlap Tribune some
time since which has caused me some
worry. 1t stated definitely that
Judge Heard had finally gotten his
consent not to work any more this
year. Now, see here, Mr.. Tribune,
| know newspaper men never make
mistakes and never exaggerate but
there must be some misunderstanding
about this thing. After l know as
much about the industrious disposi-
ton of Henry Thurman and Judge
Heard it seems unreasonable that
either of them could get their con-
sent to not work for a whole year.
1t don't sound right. But let that
be as it may Heard is county judge
and Thurman Is president of the
Loafer's Club and | suppose they
both have salaries more than suffi-
cient to keep them up and that set
ties that
Mrs. Ellen Carnes, wife of Harve
Carnes has gone to Etna mountain
for medical treatment and is being
treated by DR.. Schultz, formerly Of
this neighborhood but now the COM
pany doctor at Etna.
Well spring is here and you will
soon begin to hear something about
the snakes and ticks IN in Dixon
cove. The Dooleys have bought
$3O0.25 worth of Harve Carnes
snake, tick and timber lands
This will give more territory fol
raising snakes and ticks and in {
short time we will be able to supply
the demand without much trouble.
Harve Carnes sold one of the Doc
ley boys bee hive for six dollar
and said he could have choice of q
stands. The boy, who is 26 year
old, picked on one that had beel
sawed from a tree judging from tn
weight that it was very rich. Wher
he looked in the gum the hollow wa
only four inches in diameter and on
" contained 20 bees.
VIM. Houts speaks of moving hi
saw which is being operated now a
the mouth of Indian gulf on the Lit
tie Sequaohee, down to his plac
near Sequachee city. l will the
move my part of the business bac
home in Dixon's cove where l hav
