Ionnie Leyan, son of Mr.. and Mrs
Marion Levan. Lonnie was good and
obedient child of twelve or thirteen
wears old, always careful 10 speak with
good manners. He was q favorite Of
all that knew him. Such child as
Lonnie was is long to be remembered.
We sympathiZe with his father as he is
very poorly, and if he does mt get re-
lief soon he will follow after his dear
child. Mrs Levan is a good mother
and dutiful companion, and is kind
neighbor, and we trust that the great
God of high heaven, will give her
strength to bear her troubles.

There is a law suit pending tomor-
row at Altamont, between W. M.
Stump and his father-in-law, Jazeal
Tate. This is too bad for kinfolks.
They ought to compromise without
having.
Ye writer was at the home Of nice
young widow the other day and if she
had been as well pleased with my ap-
pearance as | was with hers, | would
have been there yet, for she is fine
looking lady and very industrious.
In regard to Rambler, | will say
that | am afraid you have said too
much You spoke of me being lover
of dogs Women do not like them and
you ought not to say so much next
time if you please, as all women are at
enmity with the dogs.
