stay until they can get away.
John Peas left yesterday for his home

S. L. Landlord made a trip to Val

S. G. Green can eat more peanuts

can7get some one to shell them for him.
Bell and frankie Bostain attended
Sunday School at Bank Head Sunday
morning.
G. G. Shelton is in our town
There is a man here who is said to
be the LATEST man in the world. 1t is
said that when he is sitting down he
is too lazy to get up and when he gets
up he is too lazy to sit down again.
Well, guess had better write
few words for the children as little
folks always like to see letter from
an old uncle. / don't think l have
ever told you about my trip to Chatta-
nooga. / went up to Chattanooga not
long ago, and of course was expect
ing fine time as expected to stay
there from Friday until Sunday. You
all know that country man is not
very sharp any way. made it fine
from here to town, but the train was
late and it was about half past ten at
night when we reached town. got
off the train and started down the
street and every few steps some one
would ask me if was looking for a
place to stay all night or would ask me
to come in and stay with them. l
went on down the street and saw fine
looking young man standing in the
door OLA stair way. He said to me,
"Have you place to stay tonight,
brother" l answered, "No. He
told me to come in and stay with him.
He said "We have plenty of room for
| you" SO thought had better &c
in and stay as he seemed to be an aw-
full clever fellow, and everybody was
strange to me. So went in and he
gave me a nice bed to sleep on and ey-
erything passed off alright that night.
i Next morning, on my way on the
stairway met the young man SO
. thought would treat him with respect
as he had been so kind to me so ask
ed him how much / owed him. He
answered me "Only 80 cents. - So
e was into it but couldn't say anything
but gave him half dollar and start
ed on down the street and first one anG
then another would holler Warn
7 breakfast" SO stopped at one of those
s places another fine looking fellow ask
ed me if l wanted breakfast I tolt
t him I would like very well to have {
good breakfast at that time of the day
s SO l took my seat at the table and ate
V nice breakfast. Nothing had beer
said about pay for it but when got
d up from the table I asked what thu
IS bill was. Twenty five cents wa,
the reply. So I soon found out al
k those good clever town folks are kline
to you for the money you have in you
; pocket and town people are not OLE
= country sagers by any means and i
any of the readers of the News don
1t aim to pay for all they get and NOR
. too they had better stay out of Chat
l. anooga or any other large town TO
e town folks are sure looking out TO
themselves.
d AS Mrs S. L. Landlord has come il
70 and disturbed me and it is getting lat
le l will close with best wishes to tn
t, News and its readers. Uncle Tom
