Hard times and worse coming is the
order of the day. Only living three
days week and scant at that. Hope
for better in the future as this is Eas
ter and there is lots of fruit yet. All
are irving to raise some potatoes and
garden stuff which will be good for the
cravings of the stomach. The worst
danger is that of getting foundered
when it develops as they are used to
but little.
l am in bad shape to write today as
my head is out of balance. | was in
the town of Whitwell day or two ago
and took a fancy to a little black-eyed
lady that had a fine head of pretty
black hair. | was informed that she
was widow, but | fooled around and
let her get away and don't know where
to look for her. IF anyone sees her and
knows her froH the description, please
let me know, for | have fallen deeply
in love with her, and if | could find
her and tell her my troubles she might
take liking to me and there would be
two of us pleased. So if you see her
tell her to phone at once to Owl Hol-
low.
know there is some of the greenest
sparkling done around here that ever
was done anywhere abouts. The only
way you can tell that they are spark
ing is their leaning up to each other
like sick kittens to hot rocks. They
will sit on the porch or door steps for
hours and try their fortunes by what
they call pulling kerchief, taking the
four corners together and letting the
other pull, and if it comes out the
long way all is lovely but if the short
way, not so good. If you will watch
them you can easily tell whether they
are really in love or not by their look
ing at each other Their color will
come and go, and their lips culver and
their voices change, and if they are up
in this condition until after dark you
can hear them making a noise like
mice fighting Guess this is done by
two pairs of lips rubbing together.
Now, this is what is called sparkling.
If so, how do they know when they
are ready to get married, for they
don't speak to each other All you
can hear is the squeaking and a deep
sigh or long breath and a look of sor-
row.
Well as the tick inspector is around
condemning few of the poor mems
cattle somebody is hot. Isn't this a
strange thing that all of the cattle
condemned belong to the poor class
1t is only working out what the law
was enacted for, to make slaves of the
poor. And to enforce the thing they
make officers of cold-hearted men, that
would not care to take the living of
the least There is a woman here that
has little heifer that she wanted to
keep to make COW for her little ones,
and has kept close after her, and in
spite of all she has now to keep her
up, as the summer ticks have got
on her. Now, as there has been a
great effort made and lots done to get
the poor peoples cattle, l want tc
make some suggestions to satisfy my
self and others. Let me buy a yearling
and put it in stable or lot and ther
let the tick inspector bring his bottle
or box of ticks and empty the contents
on it, and | will not take one of then
off and keep same up until it dies OF
until he says turn it out and if thest
ticks kill it l will pay him $50 and il
it lives it will be mine. Would moi
this be fair test No, you see what
this is all done for, to get the pool
mans COW. All the cattle that have
