Editor Herald: [ notice a num-
yer of things in your paper of recent
late which we re very interesting to
ne, but of course this is nothing new
II startling; still 1 hope you will ex-
,use me if | comment upon the con-
yruity of some of the things l notice
therein.
l see that S. w. Avera has a brand
new boy, Cricket says this is his
twelfth son. Now who would dare
to say that Marriage is a failure in
old Greene County? If marriage is a
failure generally, my old school mate
can not be counted one of these when
he counts his progeny by the dozen.
You are all right, Sam, you are fol-
lowing the scriptural injunction to
multiply and replenish the, earth.
'Shodric" very pleasa ntly calls
attention to "Wulff's Eyrie." It
now dawns upon my obtuse intelli-
gence that am bird. | am a bird
that scars high. | build my nest in
lofty places. Such is the faulty Of
human life. Inever. knew 7 was a
bird before. | am glad to be put
right Mr.. Editor. No wonder |
stopped to listen when that lark be-
gan to sing "Beulah Land" and
stopped so suddenly it put a crick in
my neck.
Jonathan Girl wants to know
what has become of blue Eyes" of
of Adamsville. Well what about
Black Eyes" and Brown Eyes" of
Nicely? Now Black Eyes, you
should come forth: | can not under
stand your silence. can not under
stond your silence. You were. wont
to set me on needles in days of yore
and [ know you yet retain the spice
of activity.
Kila Platt and one of his sons Wis
tied in Leakesvile, recently according
to the HERALD. This is another
name which serves to connect the
present with the days of yore, and
brings the pleasant realization that
the old friend is still breathing the
balmy atmosphere of old Greene
County.
Under the caption of marriages |
notice the Illustration which consists
of little fellow with wings and a
bow and arrow, destitute of clothing
and shooting worms amorg the cab
bage; bless his little heart See how
intently he looks for the worms.
Thenthat illustration at the head
of County Correspondence. This
is also very appropriate and very en-
couraging. See how he goes at his
writing! One can almost see his
tongue between his lips. He is in
earnest, nothing could divert his at
tention. One can scarcely refrain
from saying: Colt old boy, you will
get there!" ---'---,---- %
The article entitled, victims open
War on Mushroom Hat, we have a
beautiful illustration. 1t shows how
a tidy young lady slices the head off
a gentleman with the brim of her hat.
He dances around in perfect delight
so far as his legs are concerned. but
his features imply that he is some
what surprised. 1t may be presumed
that his legs have not yet found out
that his attempt to kiss the lady
was failure. He should have obey
ed the we'll known injunction of Old
Jackson at New Orleans to
fire low.
The story about the New Home"
sewing machine is illustrated out of
season. This illstration might do in
dry weather, but it is scarcely reas-
enable to suppoae that stch nice
looking couple would get ont on top
Of their house in wet weather to look
at sewing machine even if it were a
a whopper. But it is fine machine.
There is no doubt of that if size
counts. See! The legs extended
from one gable of the house to the
other. This seems little incongru-
0us, but if it were not so large they
would go inside.
