That's all right "mah honey" Leon
county Sumatra tobacco il all TO the
good even to the burning qualities. Il
is bringing the top notch in prices, too,
even in good old Gadsden county, and
all that has been delivered over there,
on contract, has been accepted without
kick being registered against IT, Can
the same be said Of all of Gadsden's
You may just as we'll make up your mind

business, for it is all just the same, and
the conditions are all about the same,
except that to Gadsden is due the credit

terrified, and helping to teach our people
it is a good thing, and to tie 10 it Now
let US be loving neighbors over it, and
all pull together for all there is in it,
for Leon surely will continue to go out
after her share of it.

No, Short Talks, John Collins is not
from Missouri" but he likes TO see
things clearly and plainly before he be-
lieves them, and as Florida has always
been good enough for him to live in old
Leon, he hopes his remains in after
years may still rest in this good old soil.
