Correspondence OF Inc RoDeSOnldn
One more time | will remind
YOU of our protracted meeting,
which begins here the first Sat-
urday in September.
We are still having rainy
weather in this section.
want to say to the Rennert |
correspondent that you had bet
ter wait until you understand a
real "howdy" before you say
goodby. l never leave a place
before l get there, although we
are different, l suppose, and
therefore it don't make any
difference with me.
l am not very much afraid of
any boy l ever saw, that was
only sixteen years old, but |
never saw Happy Jack" l
think, and therefore | don't
know how he looks; but l be-
lieve I'd try to make my escape
if l should meet him and he
looked much worse than some |
have seen. I'd like to see &c.
G." and Happy Jack' together.
Wonder which one would look
the most "scareful." I must
praise G. G. for his fine poems.
l think. they're just grand, but l
don't think he understood what
l meant by saying, don't
know" | meant I didn't know
whether l could argue with him
or not; l didn't know whether |
had sense enough or not. Now
think the matter over real good,
G. G.. and never say "goodby"
until some one answers your
"howdy."
Several of our people left here
Friday afternoon in spite of the
gloomy and disagreeable weather
; to attend the picnic at Raft
; Swamp. Among them was
Sarah Jane", and as we were
nearing the swamp it became
brighter and our hearts lighter
,. But alas! when we got to the
; swamp we couldn't get across
- l wished so much it had beer
" small enough to step, as Aun
:, Becky said that was the way sh'
" crossed. Ii was as some one in thu
! crowd expressed it, $50 nea
~ and yet so far We were il
II - about a mile of the picnic ant
= just could not get across; but w
+ enjoyed it, anyway.
