as good as he can be an can't be beet
bi none. [ nad the pleasure OF meet
in Mr.. Wright, an he made a mitey
favorable compression on me an I

Ever forth Sunday mite Mr.. Wright
gets sum big hifalutin' D. D., or 9TH
er title minister, to lecter in won OF
the three churches on the mill hill.
It's union sarvice an ever body
goes an injoyes it. I hearn the A, K.
P. preacher frum up town, but l
can't recomember his name. He made
the erandcst lecter I ever hearn, on
ChriStin character. It was grand,
thrillin' and sole inspirin' an won
couldn't hear it with out longin' to
reach a hier plane Of Gvin'. The lee
ter was made in the Metherdist
church, an I will say rite here that
it is the finest church I ever seen on
mill nill, an I haint never seen
many no where that was finer.
went to see mi old friend, Mrs. Har-
mon, who is a charmin' young wild
er, the third or forth wife Of the late
! Thomas Harmon, who was a insur-
ance man.
Me an ". N. Thomas an wife all
accepted invite to DR.. Smiths won
mite, an shore did have a nice time.
There's two DR.. Smiths at Newberry,
but this won is fizzickin' DR.. an
mitey popler. He shore has got a
lovely wife an sum sweet children.
The other Dr.. Smith, DR.. Van
Smith, is a medicine an pill mixer.
Me an Jeems used ter bi all our fiz-
zick from hum, an we aint ded yet.
Jeems thinks there amt nobody like
DR.. Van Smith, an I guess there
aint. Won day I was uptown an
wanted to get sum buttins an threw
a mistake an not bein' used to the
place, 7 went into the drug store look
in fur 'em. DR.. Smith didn't keep
buttins, but he axed me if I node
what went "around buttin.' I told
him I alters raped the thread round
'em when I sowed 'em on. He sed
he alters herd that billy cote went
round "a buttin'.'
Jessie Burns, whose mother lives
in Wadesboro, is runnin' a grocer
store in Newberry, an gettin' rich
in reel estate.
We used to get all our groceries
frum 0. Klettner, the pore mans
friend, an we found him still hustlin'
around at the same place.
And there's James Mimnaugh, won
Of the biggest an most reliable dry
goods merchants in the place. doin' a
nustlin' bizness at the same old
stand. I don't believe you could call
fur solitary thing but what MINI
naugh has got it, in all sizes, shapes,
colors an prices, an he'll suite you
or die tryin.'
I seen our old friend Tom Wicker
an his pa an ma. We used to live
close to 'em an shore thought site
of 'em. Tom is a wider, now.
I found the Editer Of Herald an
News was also fat-like mitey nj ever
won else. Well, I've alters herd that
to make long tale Snort you have to
cut it off, an reckin' I'd better not
let this narrative get too long or the
Editer mite ampertate it. So I'll aur-
ry on.
I didn't intend to go back bi Sauls-
berry, but Jeems writ that he cudn t
meet me at Wadesboro, an I had to.
I left Newberry at 1890 a. No.,
Aug. 2, goin' bi way Of Columby.
Soon as I got outen Newberry, I no
ticed that the craps was better than
had seen 'em any where on mi tra-
vels. The rode was good, too, an I
cud actilly write an read what I
writ.
Prosperity was the first stoppin
