| have noticed lot of complaint as
to the poor being trampled ON by the
tick and dog laws Their cry for relief
seems to be almost as great as the poor
children Of Israel under the Egyptian
bondage / want TO say what sympa-
thy / have is for the poor and needy,
for the poor children, that are scarce
of food and raiment, but we have two
WAYS of being poor. One is TO be poor
in finance and the other is to be poor
in spirit When one actually, feels
poor and needy in spirit he then is sure
Of blessing, but woe to the naughty,
bigoted.
Wish | could be some means of help
to the poor that are so oppressed
Sometimes l crave to have millions at
my command only to hand over to the
poor, needy ones that are actually in
distress. l have often thought what
win become of the ones that make such
laws that are so burdensome and cause
the poor to groan and beg for relief,
but will say there is a time in the
near future when all will have to
come to a level, and the God of high
heaven has said, blessed are the
poor" and he said that his people
should be a poor and afflicted people.
Then we learn from this, that it is no
disgrace to be poor No, not at all.
1t is the way and manner we conduct
ourselves that bring disgrace and not
to be poor. Sometimes | think it was
intended and best for this calamity to
come on the people. Yes, | do.
Now, in regard to the ticks Do you
want me to tell you Just how you can
get rid of those internal ticks that are
causing troubleT If you will do as l
tell you, you will get rid of every
tick, not a one will be left. | know it
will be hard job to do, but until this
is done you never will get rid of the
ticks. | was raised in old Marion
county | know few things about
ticks. have seen them in weeds ON
the grass, have had my clothes covered
with the boogars. When | was a small
boy have seen the back part of the
poor old COW literally "kivered with
dem drafted cusses," land the next
generation will too). But | guess |
had better proceed to tell you how to
get rid of them as all seem to be both
cred. When the inspector comes
around to see your cattle give him
good grabbing hoe and start him to
grubbing and then all fall in line with
him and dig up every thing that has
leaf or stick ON it, and when you get
them all dug up, pile and burn, and
see that no more grow in their places,
and when you succeed in doing this
you will get rid of the ticks, but as
long as green leaf grows in that good
old state it will have tick some
where. So you will have to destroy its
hiding place before you get rid of the
tick. don't blame that inspector if
he can blind people, and take part of
your food and raiment. say let him
go with it. If you make such law,
suffer the penalty, learn a lesson from
experience, as we are doing. Yes, we
have that tick law with us too. What
fools we are! Ticks need home and
God made home for them. AS sure
as he made the tick he made it home,
and until you destroy the hiding place
You never will get rid of Mr.. Tick,
but l tell you we are fast destroying
his hiding place in Texas, for the tick
law has got rid of nearly three
fourths of the cattle, and has reduced
the price nearly half, so you need not
worry over the poor little tick. He
has home as long as time lasts, and
when time is no more, then, and not
till then will ticks cease to be.
/ wish to say friend Representa-
tive has offered you lot of good ad-
vice. Remedy such laws as soon as
you can and see that no more of the
kind get hold of you. / am no proph-
ct, nor son of one, but beware of what
l foretell now This free republic is
fast drifting into monarchism, and it
may be that lot of small boys and
girls will live to see the ruling of a
king in America, and then those that
worship God in truth will have to re-
sort to caves as they did in olden times
when Paul had letters of authority to
catch and imprison all that he caught
at worship of God, and what has been
can come again, according to the BIZ
BILE Satan surely is loosed. You know
that the Bible teaches that Satan was
to be chained thousand years, and l
suppose, according to time that length
is about mp, and from what we have
placed on us now, he surely has bro
ken the letters and is loose and has
full sway and control of our leaders
and causes them to Cypress and grieve
the poor So you may look for hard
times. They will come as long as
Satan is loose Look out and be on
guard, is the advice of
