sonians' and the reply thereto.
| think your reply a grand one.
The Atlanta Board S appeal to you for
a donation was not intended for any
thing but a hold-up a plan laid by
the devil to try to injure you. But
al the devils can do against you can
rot keep your work from having a
good effect. They may keep you
from being President of the United
States, but your work will do good
3f the common people for ages to
come. Just keep on, Brother Wat
son, it does me good to see you hold
I'D the scoundrels of this nation and
STOW the common people what they

THE UPWARD TRAIL.

Dear Sir:-As | never see ANYTHING
in the Jeffersonians from this neck
of the woods I will pen you a few
lines. Realizing the value of space
in the Jeffersonian, l will not make
my letter very long. [ feel like it
would help me just to unbosom my
self q little, especially after witness
ing your tussle with the parsons, So
cialists, plutocrats, and the devil gen
orally
i have read after and studied you
for twenty years. and I have come
to the conclusion that you are built
like the Irishmans fence. Let me
tell you about Pats fence. He built
it broader than it was tall so that
when it blew over, it would be higher
than it was. So, since the tussle,
they have left you several inches
taller than you were.
Go on upward, blazing the way,
and if you should pass out of our
vision, continue to soar upward until
you reach the highest pinnacle, then
pause moment in your course look
back and you will see us Pops follow
ing in your trail. Then, if it be pos
sible that there be more room at the
top, go on up higher and higher until
the perfect day, and may the light of
your example long linger in bless
ings upon those of us who shall
survive to take your place in this
broad and evil world

NO LAND MONOPOLY IN TEXAS.
Colbert, Ga

Dear Sir:-I am sending clipping
from the Paris Advocate. You will
see what the Progressive Club says
about half the land in this county
not being in cultivation. Our Glen
Rose brother can buy all the land he
wants for $40 per acre and less-can
buy it in this or almost any county
in the State. Of course, land at this
price is not the best, but farmers are
making good living on these lands
and money besides. This does not
apply altogether to wild lands, but I
can find him good, improved sandy
land at $40 per acre.
Referring to what he said about
the landlord S big per cent, there is
not landowner, few exceptions, that
makes over 10 per cent. by renting
land in this or any other county in
the State l know whereof I speak,
because / have many years expert
ence, and own some as good farms as
will be found in this or any other
county in the State I am sending
this that you may know that some
one else lives in Texas and that the
Glen Rose brother everdrew the pic
ture. j. w. B.
