A certain girl of good family who
delights in stirring up the deuce ON
postcards, has forged the name OF an
other girl with very breezy and point
ed paragraphs to Mr.. Roger son, Just
TO get to Singer and laugh, but Just
such words as were forged on that
postcard, if handed in to Uncle Sam,
would cause the sender to repent
There was an old man up here who
had congestive chill the other day
and came very near dying IN spite OF
all | could do. The doctor said he
needed stimulent l sent runner 10
a neighbours house after two table
spoonsful of brandy, and they SAID
there wasn't drop on the place, but
two or three days after that they hap
pened to have enough on hand to make
their baby boy drunk. NelghDors,
make note of this. Do unto others
as you would have others do unto you
is the safe platform to travel on.
A certain girl ordered John Cowan
to not nut her uncle's mail in their
box Oh account of little child's rack

the mail Ye writer had nothing to do
whatever with that charge and did not
accuse anyone, but will state that II
Sears 81 Roebuck are reliable, | had
some 81, 90 vouchers ritled, enyelop was
broken onen at the end and vouchers
gone. All can state is to furnish the
envelop and letters and prove that !

them of the same when | hadn't ac-

buck look after that hope to have
box by next week of my own, and my
mail won't be side-tracked at the say
so and will of others

fast.
Ye writer read Joe Hackworth's ar
ticle last week, and as far as he went
it's hard to down. Come right on,
Joe, you are no sardine.
Joe H. Grayson and Joseph Pickett
had nasty racket on the ridge the
other day over a division fence be-
tween them.
Some people up here are never salts
fed in Christ's kingdom until they
pack tales and go mile out OF thei1
way to stir up strife and enmity be-
tween neighbors, and when you catch
up with them and get them freed they
always get out By laying it on the OTIS
er fellow.

Russell, Ark. and he reports that ev.
erybody out there is nearly through
planting corn He says deer are as
thick out there as rabbits are here.
How would that suit DR.. Moore

We haven't got any candidate in the
Third for tick inspector and DOM
want any, or in other words to make 8
long story short, nearly all our neigh.
bors have sold off their cattle and con,
senuently there are but few left here
to inspect while the quarantine law
is here. But put this in your pipe
and try to smoke it, the good farmer,
of Marion county have come to stay
and will be here when these tick anC
quarantine laws are a thing of thu
past. / wish some good writer would
give me in figures by estimation, JUS
about how many thousand dollars
shortage of cattle of Tennessee thu
ticks bring about, and just about how
many thousands dollars we are depriv
ed of that we should get from oul
cattle we raise on Tennessee's noun
tains and SELL and that we are de
prived of that would pass into circul
alton. Also estimate the cost and Just
about what the milk and butter i
worth to che poor labOring class o
people, and when you have done thi
you have done something for til,
poor. The poor miners and laborin,
men are entirely shut out under thi
law, and so am |, and here we ar
and can't help ourselves Poor min
ers have about all sold off their mill
cows, and so go ahead with your IA
killing. We don propose to keep
COW and feed her on Alabama cottol
seed meal the year around Mt a cos
that exceeds three times what the coy
is worth TO us. Thousands of men
women and children are deprived o
milk and butter and the privilege O
raising and owning cattle whic
amounts to more than all the cattl
the ticks have ever killed since tn
war of the rebellion Mark this para
| grnph This tirE law IL allowed .
