| MIR. IS. w. RECk :
Enclosed, you will find
one dollar, for which please re-
new or continue my subscription
to the Fulton County News for
another year. should have at
tended to this about two or three
weeks ago as ] see the date two
weeks past.
| am pleased to receive the
News, as it is like a letter to me,
giving me information of about all
which occurs in the home county
and mentions many a person
who is an acquaintance of mine
or who has attended the same
school at the same place and time
when l, also attended.
| am pleased to hear of the sue
cess many of my school mates
and other or all the young folks
of Fulton county are meeting
with.
| sometimes feel sorry of the
condition IN which | am at the
present time and have been for
years past. | was trying to get
an education, that might amount
to something in this world, but
about the time that | became able
to teach and earn some money
that | could be of some service
and start in the State Normal, |
was compelled to quit study on
account of my health. Lthank
God that | am not in a worse con-
ditlon than | am; as ! am able to
go out with my dear companion
and room mate, L. w. Rice, of
Reading, Pa, every day.
was brous, hit here on May II,
1901, by Sheets and Bender of
McConnellsburg.
| became acquainted with my
present room mate, l. w. Rice,
more than two years ago. He was
afflicted in similar way as | am.
We were placed in a room togeth-
er and given parole or the prlvl-
lege of going out upon the lawns,
walking over different parts OF
the farm together for exercise,
which we enjoy very much. My
companion has not had an attack
now for more than two years =
Mine continue to come; but | hope
and pray that God, "Hhe Great
Physician" will heal me and al
for whom / should pray.
with my roommate am trying
to serve God, doing our best in
our little room in the way of read
ing our Bible, Offering up our
prayer, and trying to do our best
In studying the Sunday School
lessons and doing some singing
also. One thing which as well
as many others miss and long for
is some chapel or some form of
true christian worship, as | have
not heard sermon or anything
of the kind, more than a brief
Christmas entertainment, since |
have been here. |, with my com
panlon, and others, at their bed
sides are trying to keep our ban
ners raised and our flags floating.
May we be remembered by you
and all memb bers of your church
in your prayers, and receive re-
ward from God.
