AS nobody never writ nothin' frum
this locality last week, thought / wood
try il agin. If feller don't know nuth-
in hit won't take long TO tell it, La
! grippe still fingers in our midst, but
fur all that the people have made gar
dens and planted sum corn. Grippe is
no respecter OF persons or places Aside
from that this must be . healthy place.
The climate is sa-lu-bri-ous We are
above high water mark, but the wind
comes up here where we are. 1t tried
two hole mite to shake US up last win
ter One mornin' about the same time,
there was false alarm raised, We
herd voley after voley OF fire arms on
top of the mountain. | thought the
Japs had conquered Rushy and not be-
in satisfied had tackled Squachey VAL
ley. My hare stood up and my heart
climbed up in my throte. OF course !
wer'nt skeered, but / knowed we wood
haft to kill the little rascals as
they can't be whipped. But we soon
found out that it was just old marsa
trimmin' trees. Sch things make a
feller feel like he ought to keep the ten
com mandments, but suppose there
amt but nine now as Peck's bad boy or
some one else broke one of them.
Sometime ago meandered off down
towards Looney' Creek and met up with
! a ole friend mile or two frum home an
he asst me to meat him at his house tn at
mite and stay with him. Without re-
luctance or hesitashun accepted.
Well, that night they put at me to stay
over another day to workin and an
other mite to tacky party. Well,
thinks !, I'll be gettn' board and that's
doin' we'll, SO | accepted agin. Don't
know who wouldn't where they
have chicken fxin's and -four doins.
I At mite, when the youngsters had gath
cred in, the landlord and l chanced to
be in the room the tacky party was to
occupy SO we wus invited into another
room. So we tackled off to stay with
Il with the old folks. | did not know
what the program was but guess we
played our part well.
The next day l stopped at house
and neighbor woman CHANGED to be
there and she happened to be widder.
Frum the was she talked thought that
she would like for me to come to her
7 house, so volunteered to tell her that
in my perigrinations would certainly
{ call to see her for II fthere was scrip
tural injunction | obeyed it was to visit
the widders, | like them better that
I do gals any how, fur they have some
/. feller feelin' in their bosom. That
reminds me of school l went to sun
years ago. The teacher axed us high
!. larnt pupils hunt up some quotations
to memorize for Friday and give the
$ authors name. After we had all GO
r through one little feler bobbed up ant
I said he had one, he was told to say on
Y and he said ''Six boys can set on ont
!. long fence. Noah Webster" Corse WI
i all giggled.
j There was gentleman dropped in a
at our house the other day. He said hi
> name was Elijah Dykes, and shall al
!, ways believe that gentleman told the
q truth.
D Mrs. Lorinda Dykes, Miss Minnie
d Easterly (her sister) and Miss Eli
4 Easterly called on Mrs Amanda Chau
4 doin Thursday. Mrs. c. says that sh'
9 nejoyed their visit hugely and hopes
y that they will do that again.
Z Elijah Dykes and better, half visited
& Mr.. Dykes sister, Mrs. Elizabeth eagle
\ the other day and found her right sick.
q Cur folks had mustard, lettuce anC
y radishes the 2nd day of April, so we did
Y We had termatices also but they grow
Il ed in 1904.
q never tell secrets except when the.
9 are too good to keep. Mrs. Sophroni
Y Johneses fellow comes to see her ever,
Y Sunday and to make him feel welcom,
81 she cooks . lot of good things the da,
before for him to chaw on while b
y looks at her.
y That Sulphur Springs ieller, Rollie

n spex. II he says so | can mail him
ii better pair than them he wore Sunday
