Mr.. B. Wynn, Toomsboro, Ca
My dear Mr.. Wynn: I want to assure you
that read your letter with very great appre-
citation.
Whenever I think Of Wilkinson county, the
names that pop into my mind are those Of
Captain John T. Lingo, Henry Clay, Capt. Ma
son, Frank Cannon and Brad Wynn. The he
roism displayed by those loyal friends who
stood their ground in those dark days en-
graved their names upon my memory so deep
ly that they will never be forgotten. It is
very sad that so many of them died while the
clouds were still low and the wind was from
the east. 1t is pity too deep for words that
they could not live to see the triumph of the
principles for which they fought and suffered.
| am glad, however, that such men as you and
my gallant old friend, Captain J. A. Mason,
have survived those cruel times and can now
congratulate themselves that you were faith
ful when so many weaklings gave in. Nothing
would afford me greater pleasure than to see
once more every comrade who stood by me in
those days. and take him by the hand, and
talk of old times.
With kindest regards, your friend, as ever

In a frame Of mind entirely scientific
With a man who smokes a ffty-cent
cigar.
The man who puffs a f1ve-cent weed is
surely
A person who is prejudiced 'gainst

A suspect in mentality and health.
The pipe betrays an instinct democratic
That takes no note of when a stocks

The man with logic simple and emphatic
Is the one who smokes ffty-cent

The conclusions of the American investi-
