Dear HERALD: u fear / am too
late for the present issue, but |
have received an inspiration to
write, and therefore | do so. Would
have come sooner but have been
working by both Sun and Stars for
past few days and nights, and hence
it thro US me just day late. 1t is
simply too bad that our lightning
express (Todd) just gets around
three times week, but say he is
just as faithful as he is good look
ing.
Well saying the least of it the
w. o. w. picnic of August Is was
one of the most enjoyable days that
Washington has ever had. Merrill,
Leaf, McLain, Janet, Hintonville,
Betty, Hillman, and Leakesville
were all very we'll represented.
Messrs Barber and Bowers we're the
orators of the day. A few words
of welcome were delivered by DR..
Green. Then Mr.. Barber made a
short talk on what the w. O.W.
stood for and was; after which he
spoke in behalf of his canvass and
was followed by Mr.. Bowers. Ev-
erybody was quiet and sober but
it was well for them, for our friend
Sheriff Dan and his two deputies,
Avera and Nixon were here. 1t
seems that Dan has been feasting
at that table of which Judge Daw-
son spoke in his last letter in re-
CARDS to Eugene, but | am not 60
ing to spell all rhe words beef
which is making our sheriff fat for
| might make a mistake but suppose
we just put it bee and let the
readers add the last letter how a.
bout it Sheriff? This past week
heard some one saying that when
ever a man was elected to office in
Greene Co., he got fat but if he
will go with me | will escort him
to Leakesville and introduce him
to Supt. Oscar Backstrom and then
see if he will talk twice the same
way.
Mr. Editor if you don't mind our
esteemed friend Dawson of McLain
will lead you in the dark about his
love affair. Just allow me to say
that if | know of one who does
more spooning than Judge it is
judge again. Why every time he
hears of young widow, old maid
Grass widow or young girl in
town he at once is seen wandering
in that direction and when he gets
there with all his 1owery language
the young men might as we'll fall
back.
Dr.Joe Legat, wife and baby have
been visiting at the home of Mr..
c. j. Nicely for the past few days.
Miss Grace Leget has been visit
ing her sister, Mrs. Nicely, for the
past ten days.
Mrs. Nora Carr and little sister
Kate, surprized US all, by coming
into our midst last Saturday. Mrs
Carr will remain several days with
parents.
We are proud to say that Mrs
Leap Hillman, who has been very
low, is now convalescent.
Mrs. Blackwell of Bay Springs il
visiting her daughter, Mrs. Alberr
Harrison
Mr.. Cal Harrison is all smiles as
Sept. End is not long off. We alsC
niece Miss Bessie Bradley seems tt
be very cheerful.
J. C. Fain is visiting home folks
at Water Valley.
Mr.. Felix Kim Daughdrill killed
a mad dog last Sunday.
! Since we begun this letter We
have enjoyed few W rls with Joe
Green the official organ of Wash
ingtOn g. c. Joe says he is JUS
overing his coon hum; for Friday
night before the picnic he got I'm.
easy that they would not have meal
enough, so he and crowd of then
went out and coon hunted all night
They succeeded in getting one coor
and one o'possum, both of which
were barbecued.
There are many other things we
would write but our little letter
has already grown too lengthy, sc
ia, ia.
Your friend,
PUSH
