Spfd6I to re NeT0S.
Well, we had a pretty good. week $
run with all the correspondents of the
News. All parts were we'll represent
ed with the exception of Bunker's Hill
and Tatesville. They must have been
busy digging star root, ginsing and
hunting up mountain windsplitters l
guess those boys have got their hooks
baited this week, with wild hogs, as
one has probably bit at their bait
Those two writers have world wide
reputation as being experts in that
business.
There is a certain person up here
that makes regular trips on the Sab
bath day to Chattanooga with a load
of produce and few old cows, and
when he returns from the city he is
as drunk as a billed owl, hollering and
whooping and using obscene and pro-
fame language and wakes up everybody
for two miles around. Keep your eye
on the gentleman, and you may hear
of him at Jasper pretty soon.
II there is any place on Gods green
earth that liars, tale carriers, back bit
ers and news butchers don't dwell,
want to know it, and if any reader of
the News could give me such informa-
ton | would be very thankful to be
informed as / have representative of
that kind that we don't need and
would be glad to furnish any locality
just such person. If anybody should
make kick and the shoe fits wear it,
and if it don't it applies to the other
fellow.
My wife has got an old pair of spec
tacles on, fumbling around the lamp,
so | can't write or see or think of any
thing to write, and the dad famed
boys have taken all my pencil tablets
off to school, and | can't find dad
famed thing on this place to write to
the News on but a piece of wrapping
paper, but l will give a small tip on
that Just the same. No deaths, nc
marriages, no accidents, and but little
sickness. General health of this local
ity is good Every thing and every
body is quiet, and peace and harmony
prevail. Good luck to the editor and
the many correspondents, one and all
with hearty handshake across our
land, although many miles apart we
may be-
Joe Hackworth, of Texas, said he
couldn't place his old friend, "Repre-
sentative, and requested a personal
letter. Now, Joe, | am full brother
to ''Watchman, of Tatesville, and a
half brother to old "Brin" and would
be glad indeed to see you. You want
ed number of Tennessee cotton pick
ers out there, but you don't need them
in your business. If cotton is what
you want picked never hire man
from small grain state like Tennes-
see to pick cotton, or you will come
out at the little end of the horn. It's
hard to get man to stick and keep
him from getting the sun grins and
lag. A man that never was raised in
a cotton state and never picked an acre
of cotton, wouldn't do you any good.
And if you had these ow-headed Ten
nesseans out there, after they picked
an acre of cotton it would be farewell
to old Texas, and you would say with
great satisfaction and relief, Good
bye, Tennessee dead BEATS | am truly
glad you are gone and to stay gone
and don't let me ever see your lazy
faces again.
D, M. Tate's son in-law, Jas. Hud-
son, was visiting his grandmother and
uncle this week.
Ben Colston, John Bowman, Mr.
Hudson and family enjoyed the fish
feast at W. H. Whites Saturday night
Seventy-two fish were cooked and eat
en- on this occasion. Everybody seem
ed to enjoy themselves and went away
| saying they would call again.
