/ thought, as | was sitting alone in
my humble sanctum, meditating on the
past and present, and wondering what
the future is going to bring forth and
break the monotony of my present sur
roundings, | would write a little to
the News for pastime As we all seem
to be at peace with one another and all
our sick people seem to be GONZALES
cent, | have nothing very unusual to
write about.
l believe the greatest excitement we
people have through these diggins is
the fear of meeting with that "boog-
or" that has been seen by Mr.. Sam
Spears out on the ridge some where
near or between T. r Harris and
Uncle Alfred Ramsay's. We are not
very anxious to meet with that gentle
man called Lion single handed and
without our A Look out, we night
raiders, that You don't happen upon
the rowing, bowling gentleman unex-
pected, for he is liable to he most any
where and at any time.
There were couple of our sport
ers' went across the river fox chasing
Saturday night and did not return un-
til about o'clock Sunday morning, |
think they were afraid Mr.. Lion"
might be crossing our new bridge or
inspecting our new rural route, and
they might perchance meet ur with
the old gentleman and having no weap-
ons Of warfare, and only three hound
dogs, and no light to light up their
way, they had better take shelter un-
til the light of the Sundays sun came
and drove Mr. "Booger back into the
thicket. There is a certain young
man of our neighborhood SO sure that
the Lion" tale is true, that wanting
to go to Mineral Springs to meeting
the other night, and having to go
alone, he armed himself with his shot
gun and seven heavily loaded shells to
protect him from all ravages of the
monster beast, provided he should hap
pen along ON his road.
We are all living mighty sweet over
on our side of the ridges and river
as most everybody has plenty of
new sorghum molasses to flap their
fritters'' in now It's mighty nice to
have plenty of sweet 'lasses' to eat.
Mrs Daniel Pitman is not improv
ing as fast as we would like to see her.
Old Mrs. Burklin, who lives ON IN
Gle SiIas McNabb's place, is in very
bad health. Mrs. w. @. Moore went
up to see her this P. M. and reports
her in very critical condition.
Miss Viola Saynes was visiting Miss
Nettie Moore today. She came home
with her from Sunday school.
Geo. H. Lewis, our teacher of Glass
No. in Sunday school, has quit 60
ing to Sunday school, and we are very
sorry as George has four very nice, in,
telligent little girls that are relying on
| him to great extent for precepts and
examples. We nope ne VIII soon dls'
cover his mistake and resume his place
in the school, as we need his assist
ance.
| Uncle Silas McNabb went to Chatta
nooga the other day and bought 8
brand new buggy and set of harness
and he has been riding up and down
the road in great style since.
Rev. J. D. Billingsley left for thu
Inman precinct after Sunday school to
day to solemnize the rites of matrimo
ny between Mr.. Charles Mooley ant
Miss Mary Hardy. We wish then
smooth sailing all along down thu
ocean of time.
Well, ! guess as the old lady is call
ing up the cows, it means milking
time, and that means feed time for y,
writer so | had better ring off ky
