ANOTHER WuLEF LETTER.

Stockton, CAL, Nov. 9th '08.-
Editor Greene County Herald -
Now comes again the Herald with
it's newsy columns pregnant with
the interesting items from the va
rious parts of that section of dear
old Dixie, and along with it, comes
a letter making inquiry as to the
IF the writer of my former
letter to the Herald. This letter
came from a son of a gentleman
who was very kind to the writer on
a particular occasion when he de-
sired horse to ride down to Mo
bile his home, to spend Christmas;
and indeed, this gentleman was on
all occasions kind and obliging to
the young teacher of Thompson rs
Greek.
hThe writer at that time thought
he could "cut the double shuttle"
and do the terpsichorean feats in a
manner to rival any Sambo" in
the land and the kindness of the
above named gentleman enabled him
to exercise this propensity about
his old time home during the
Christmas holidays Of 1874.
The Janet Girls" speak of Ira
Roberts appearing to be very happy
over the fact that he is now papa,
we'll now if this is the Ira Roberts
whom the writer knew, he ought
to be ashamed of himself for
stalking around the country all this
time and delaying this matter SO
long. He ought to have come to
the front long ago. Well, it is
better late than never.
1t seems from the report of
Gloomy Gus" that Joe Green is
contemplating a coon hunt and in
viting the strenuous Teddy to par
ticipate. Joe and Teddy would
make happy pair. Teddy has the
reputation of having scattered the
coons at Brownsville.
Now blue Eyes" doubts wheth-
err her teacher likes to see her at
school. The writer used to have a
Blue Eyes that attended his school
at Adamsville in the days of long
ago, and he was always glad to see
those Blue Eyes approaching, from
which the present Blue Eyes may
feel assured that her teacher is sim
ilarly inclined. But the beautiful
Blue Eyes-of long ago are now no
more. For a long time they looked
love and devotion into kindred eyes
in the home and elsewhere, and
then passed away. Passed away
into that abode of bliss where only
such beautiful souls can enter. To
be remembered here as the dear de-
voted, and noble EIla,-the Blue
Eyes of long ago.
Then Blue Eyes speaks Of the i'll
ness of Miss Mamie MCLEAN and
mentions her convalescence. The
devotion Of this lady to home and
parents is we'll known to the writer
and it is with great pleasure he
notes the approach of her recovery;
and he trusts that many happy
years remain for this noble lady.
Deputy Sheriff Sam Averal Sam
uel Worth Avera! How strange
yet how familiar the namel Then
comes thoughts of prisoners base"
between the old mulberry at the old
log school-house on the Chickasaw-
hay when it was Sam Avera and
Frank Wulff, two fat chubby boys
about the same age, who in their
racing showed an inclination to
stop and pant, who blushed to the
ears when the girls came around.
The writer now wonders how
much Sam resembles the English
pictures of Mr.. Pickwick. Just
think Of Mr.. Pickwick operating as
sheriff! Old good natured Sam
AveraI That personality seems ut
terly incompatible with anything
harsh.

What's Ahead?

Life Is such a guessing contest
No one can the secret wrest
From the bosom of the future,
From its calm, unruffled breast.
Is there hidden in the morrow
Pain or pleasure, gain or loss?
Will the fates wear smiling faces
Or hand out the double cross?
We may lay our plans serenely
For the day that is ahead,
Fix our comings and our goings
AS we snuggle safe in bed,
But we plan without the forces
That may biff us in the neck,
Catch us nodding and politely
Mix US in a railroad wreck
Who can tell about the letter
That may wake US from our dream
Or the smooth and pleasant caller
With made to order scheme?
Wire or cable, nut or trolley
May give way, and like as not
Then the hospital will get us
With its little snow white cot
We may meet lovely lady
In most becoming dress
And go groggy in a minute
Love at first sight. nothing less
And we may secure an option
On her fortune and her smile.
Life is such a guessing contest
That's what makes it well worth
while

Mr.. Bryan has suffered defeat for
the third time, despite the fac that
the prospects were brighter this
time than ever before the democ-
racy being practically united In
addition, it was believed that a
heavy labor vote would be poled
for the party. 1t has come to
naught however. Defeat is not
disgrace. Some Of the greatest men
this country has produced have met
it in both the democratic and re-
publican parties.
Mr.. Bryan. if he had been elect
ed would have made an excellent
president, for he is man of great
intellect and one who knows how
to govern himself, but the bust
ness interests Of the country had
no confidence in him. This has been
demonstrated in the states where
the democratic state tickets we're
successful and the presidential
ticket was defeated. The people
had rejected him on two former
occasions, and to have expected
his success this time would have
been hoping against hope. We
believe that it was Mr.. Bryan who
was defeated and not the demo-
cratic party, If ever the party had
a plendid chance Of electing a pres
ident, it was on Tuesday last, but
that is history Of the past.

THE PASSING OF BRYAN.

Fruitdale Herald.
In this his third defeat, Mr.. Bry-
an will pass from the democratic
stage as the leader of this great
party, but his name and fame will
endure forever and he will ever
have the respect Of not only his own
party but of fair minded men of all
parties who admire men of faith,
courage and honesty of purpose.
His ambition knows no bounds and
to the very last he had implicit faith
in himself as a winning candidate
but like Clay, Webster, Blaine,
Edmonds and John Sher-
man he is doomed to dissappoint-
ment.

The result of Tuesday election,
has so decreed, but in defeat, Mr..
Bryan retains the confidence of the
democratic voters to a high degree
perhaps than any other man in the
party and whether or not he ever
again aspires to political office. his
labors for the betterment Of mankind
and the effects Of his magnificent
campaign will have a lasting and
beneficial impression. No other
Democrat could have made so good
a fight against the combined efforts
of wealth and political power and
the vote he received in many Sec

heed more the needs Of the people

was 40, while Roosevelt S was 1886.

The huIngr;est heart in this wrrl
is an unpra. Sc woman whose hus-
band never gives her word of
praise or recognition for a sacrifice
made in his behalf. Love may be
Their in his heart for her, love
deep and abiding, and should
death claim her, the fountains
of his heart would be broken up and
he would realize what he had lost,
and cover her grave with roses,
which had they been presented a

the tenderness he now shows, her
pathway would have been far
brighter and in her life a ray Of
sunshine, not that her burdens were
diminished. but by a knowledge
indisputable, that her efforts were
appreciated. A hungry heart,
which is destined never to be fed
is one Of the saddest spectacles
ever witnessed in this world of ours.
If you have a word of praise to
bestow on your wife-if it is due,
bestow it. Do not wait until she
is dead, and be forced through
binding tears to tell your heart
in its wild throbbing that you have
lived a dual life by sitting thought
and keeping back words that would
have brought a flus;: Of pleasure
to her cheeks, old as she is, and
set her heart to dancing with
pleasure only known to those who
have had their hungry hearts fed
by words Of praise and recommen-
dation.

THAT COURTHOUSE ROOF.

In face of the facts. all the hula baloo raised about the leaky court house roof and the Board of Super visors paying the contractor before re- pairs are made seems to- be an at tempt to create a mountain out of a mole-hill Long & Newman have been allowed their warrant for $3.04S as last payment on the contract price for building the courthouse. They had a bill for extras, and this was submit ted to arbitration and the arbitrators allowed the builders the sum of $73. Payment on this bill for extras has been withheld until the leaks in the roof are repaired, and a contract has been made with J. L. Travers to re- pair the roof for $40. This is to be de4uc ed from the amount due Long X Newman for extras.
