Josephina, and Katelinda and Susl-
marvanna and Mattianna and Jennie
anna and Sallyanna and Virginiadda,
and Aileenianna and Sophianna and
Lurinna and Pauline and Maude are
all desolate and weeping. Julian Key
and Cornelius Holmes and VIVIAN
Minis and Eddie Cheatham and Ed
ward Lynch and Jamie Peak and
Richard McCreary and Johnnie Bates
are utterly failing to keep them up.
Richard McCreary is making mighty
efforts to comfort the poor girls, but
poor Richard, you know. is one OF the
many men whose spirit is willing but
!! whose pluck is weak. The poor girls
are sighing for the "touch OF van
ished hand"
Miss Mabel Kenner left us this
morning for her home in Virginia; !;
and tonight we sit up with Paul Cog
burn and Artie Eubanks and Robert
Scott. Tomorrow we will bury them.
Meanwhile Josey Holland, in Vir-
ginia, will get. or resume, "the IN
runment. >
Yes, boys, it is very dull without
YOU. This morning when We came to
our Office, the only person on the
streets anywhere, was Trapp McMa-
nus sucking colt that had strayed
awav from its mother, hitched in
front Of the Timmons drug store, and
was eating grass in Ramsey & Jones: :.
Horde Allen was not in the Bank. We
can get along if we are only sure that
Horde is there. So we ran IN Dorm
& Min s, and cried out, "Allen! AL
len! Allen!" (others are utterlng the
same ery) but echo gave no answer.
And Mr.. Horace Dorm was sitting
dead in his chair.
Dr.. Penn and Mrs. J. D. Holsteln
and Mrs. Charlie Griffin and bud
dy" went to Augusta in the ne"
"Reo" yesterday. They went IN an
hour and half, and came in an hour
and half.
News has come from Greenville,
authoritative, that dear little Carroll
Coeburn is engaged to be mar1ed to a
beautiful and wealthy little girl
there-wealthy!
Dear Boys, when you get home next
week: YOU will have only ten days to
gird up your loins for the Hussar
picnic. For this occasion, your trous-
ers must be two yards across the seat,
and your socks must be bright green
dashed with yellow. If you haven T
such things as these, go to klnard'S
at once and get them.
We hear that several pretty young
girls have been down here looking Tor
Homex Williams and Frank Logan.
BOYS, there is one thing we know:
You have the most splendid-looklng
CAPTAIN in the End. II va sans dire.
Bows. it is eleven O'Clock now, and
we have just been for our mail; ana
still we do not see a single soul on the
streets but Traps sucking colt.
Richard McCreary told us that Jen-
nvanna and Marylilianna and Lizzie
loulianna and all other ''annas' and
"inas," including Maude, had al
ready been to the office, weeping and
wailing and gnashing their teeth.
Hurry home just as soon as you
can, dear boys. As We have been asked
to sit up with Paul Cogburn tonight
and as it will sap our strength to
manage Paul in his present frame OF
mind, we must now ring of.
Yours Lovingly, dear boys:
James T. Bacon.
P. S. Our petition for the pardon OF
Alb Clark has proved successIul' ollu
wrong and injustice are at an end. Ab

sake. =. L. D.
P. S. No. 2. Will Penn says it seems
to him that under present clrcum-
stances you might need a little Ial-
cum powder; and if so, he would be
clad to send you some. He says that
after a heavy drill Or long march,
YOU would find it comforting. And
Maude says she has a box OF 1t that
she would gladly send to Percy Byrd.
