WULFF'S EYRE.

Editor Greene County Herald: =
The weather today is delightful with
a slight flavor of autumn upon the
light breeze which blows refreshing
ly in from my Office window from the
North.
Dear old Autumnl 1t always brings
to me fond memories of the old days
in Dixie, when the persimmons We're
sweetened by the touch of Jack Frost
and when the great cracks in the
sweet potato hills marked the par
ticular localities of the large yams
that were so apt to grace our tables
with the famous pork of the piney
woods.
1t was then that the work of the
year began to wane to a close and
the days for our country 'frolics
came on. Then it was that the sweet
tones of the violin would render Us
buoyant and gave our feet an intense
desire to "cut the pigeon whing' to
the tune of ''Piney Woods Gals.
1t was then that we sought the
possum while Orion looked benignly
on from his place 10 the Southern
Constellation 1t was during these de-
llghttully melancholy days that we
told stories around the pine knot
fires, during an armistice in the
Marsupial conquest, until our eyes
shOne like pewter plates in a mud
hole, and then
THE earth was beautiful as if new
born;
There was nameless splendor every
where,
That wild exnilaration in the air,
Which makes the passers in the city
street,
Congratulate each other as they meet.
i In your issue of the 9th of August
there appears an excellent article
under the Caption of THE Wife. :.
The writer of this squib watts a
vote of thanks to the writer of that
article.
There is another excellent article
n the same issue which suggests
that we should laugh. Yes laugh
and grow fat. -
Your humble servant is victim
of that description now. He has
found too many things to laugh at
and he now weighs two hundred and
forty pounds yet after disposing of
twenty-five pounds of adipose tissue
by means of huge drafts of Tactic ac-
id which resides in plebeian butter
milk, in the form of friendly mi
crobes.
Yes sir, l have swallowed millions
of these microbes to make them work
on the fat producing microbes of the
alimentary canal. Then / keep on
finding funny things to laugh at and
this helps the inimical microbes of
my anatomy, and it becomes neces
sary to haul buttermiIk to my house
every day in wagon.
Thus my stomach becomes the bat
tie ground of these microbes until
grim gaunt ghoulish stares me in the
face with a grin on which resembles
the twist on piece of raw hide dried
in the sun.
| also see by the paper that H.
NJ. Faulk Sundayed at home from
Mobile. | thank you, This is a
brevity of expression, Il long have
sought and mourned because found
it not, to quote from one OF our
good old hymns Well let us try it
one.
Samuel W. Avera Fridayed at
State Line and half past nine at home
with his wife. Good. That will do
Excellent.
Black Eyes appears again with an
effusion in the Herald. Now Black
Eyes I challenge you right here-not
to bloody duel, but every time you
write the Herald, I shall tire you
with an article from me, with the
Editors consent of course.
So Mr.. Dave Hillman has been on
the sick list. This will not do Ran,
you must laugh and be healthy. But
do not laugh too much else you may
be victim like myself.
Au revoir,
BENZ. F.WULFF.
