IN my subscription. Get your paper
very Monday, and am always glad to re.
.eive 1t and to know what is going on in
Id Forest. l am well pleased with the
icket you have nominated. The new
primary law seems to work well. The
,oys and myself had to help elect Re-
publican mayor here. They have the
anne law here, but it didn't work good
or the Democrats. They have had a
Democratic mayor for four years, and
hey put up hard fight to keep him
here, but he lost by 1900. We elected
he whole Republican ticket. The mills
ire all running here on the coast. My
,oys are all working, but at so cents less
wages than year ago. 1t looks little
,etter, but still somewhat shaky. Best
egards to all my old friends"
