And Old Santa Lost It.
The following letter = said 70
have been picked mp after Santa
CLAUS had made his recent round
through the state:
Ny Dear Old Santa ~ don't want
much but what ! do want. ! want Il
bad. Please ont the rope herewith
I've hung myself. and (then. II you
can't catch Jay-Jay Henry and hang
him, want you to use the rope for
halter for black mare named Maud.
Then there's one little mule down
on Oakley Farm, the sole evidence Of
my successful fnanciering Of that
place. want Jon to take that mule
= bucket Of water and ,bale OF hay
for Christmas. Please bring bag to
put the penitentiary board IN, but
kindly watch that don't get In my
self.
wish you would make the white
folks that voted for me three years
ago stop asking SO many foolish
questions about why the niggers are
still getting their part Of the school
fund. wish you'd make them quit
pointing their fingers at me and say
ing, 81 told you so.
want you to take bale Of paper
and barrel of ink to DR.. Bee.Ef
Ward and tell him to use it In .
"speel" on "The Candidate, the Mig
ger and the Pie.counter;" but re-
mind him that hot air is mighty mean
about leaking ont of pipes. Tell him
next time he draws his analogies to 60
back before the time Of Adam to get
characters, for the public knows too
much about Golden, Napoleon, J. q.
George, ct al, to see the parallel that
he tries to draw in the wind.
Bring me nice little box Of ad-
jectives apd cnss.words that can use
on the Niger and on Teddy. "Ooon.
flavor" and gingerbread" have
grown stale. Bring me another box,
Of q meaner grade, for my own per-
sonal use when I can't kick myself.
Please have Teddy appoint several
niggers to office in Mississippi. Ted
dy don't like me, but as . vote-get-
ter he's the most substantial friend I
ever had.
Bring me more pie. My "heelers"
have cleaned of the counter. Never
saw suoh hungry set.
Bring some new arguments on the
Niger question. Those I have on
hand are smelling pretty loud and
Tom Dixon says they are his'n any
how. And can't you dig up new
issue for me to run to the senate on !?
The public is getting sick Of the
negro issue and holds its nose every.
time begin to speak.
And say. Santa, send me new
speech. My old one il all frszzled
out, and it is said that every Niger
school boy knows II by heart and
every Friday evening. says 1t. at
school.
Scare up some voters that osn stand
a little more hot air. Most Of them
are getting ''leary" Of it.
Bring me can Of bait to catch
suckers. I'll need suckers in my
business about next August.
Give jeff Davis fishhook and try
to keep him quiet over in Arksnsaw
till after the primary. II he comes
across the Mississippi River, paralyze
him and give him lock. jaw.
Remember, all the newspapers that
are trying to help me, and give each
BOY an apple to keep him quiet. but
for Gods sake don't give them any
tin horns or whistles.
Bring me hole to put John Sharp
Williams in, and don't forget the
votes I need to help me put him in 1t.
Bring me Anse McLaurin's hide.
I already have hook to hang it on.
Yours in need.
Jay -Kay-Vee.
p. s. Don't put these things in the
wrong stocking. Mine is the Big
