will try aud write few words to
let all know that am still in the land
of the living.
| saw in last weeks News where
they were having prayer meeting at
Pine Hill, and saw where Mr.. Har-
rison had been attending the meeting,
and Mr. Brimer also, and where he
had been calling on Mr.. Harrison very
often Look out, Mr.. Brimer. Don't
let the mountain get away with you.
T. guess you have little girl out
there, but that is all right. Well,
Mr., Brimer, your name sounds famil-
lar. 1t seems like l have heard that
name before.
1t has been very cold here for the
past few days, but hope it will turn
warm or will have to go further
south where the weather will suit my
clothing.
Mr.. BAIT from this town has been
visiting in Augusta, Ga. and has re-
turned here where he will remain for
a while, He says that everything is
getting along nicely at Augusta.
/ was at Fort Mcpherson the other
day to seq friend of mine and they
were at work on range and they said
that they would have it done inside Of
a month. He said they were trying to
make an all winter job of it, but they
couldn't make it last. He said they
would have to find something else to
do or they would soon be out of job.
don't think l would like to be
soldier at all, for they have to be ON
the move all the time, so they say.
My friend told me that they had to go
to Savannah, Ga, on the 21st of the
4 month, and be down there until the
27th or 28th of this month, and | think
he said that the first and third battal-
lions of the 18th Infantry went.
think it would be very cold up there
on the trip for they have to stay in
tents while they are away from the
Fort. What ! was going by is what /
have seen here in town. / don't know
anything of soldiers life but what
have seen, but I know when they are
ordered to go they have to go. saw
that when they had to turn out and
come down town to meet Roosevelt
and it was raining. They tell me that
it makes no difference how hard it
rains, or SHOWS, or sheets. or how cold
it may get, that they have to go. l
don't think that l could ever pick up
, enough nerve to try it for three years.
:. was out to see a girl Sunday and
saw Mr.. Fan Sea. He had just return
ed from the Islands where he had put
three years in the Cavalry and l be-
lieve that he said that be was in the
18th.
Well, have heard that life was on
, ly dream, but find that it isn't a
. dream, it is only joke and very
funny one at that. Man comes into
the world without his consent and
leaves it against his will During his
stay on earth his time is spent in one
continual round of contraries and
Misunderstanding. In his infancy he
is an angel; in his boyhood be is a
! DEVIL in his maphood he is every
= thing from a lizard up; in his du-
: ties he is a fool; if he has no family
= he is committing race suicide; if he
!, raises check he is a theft, and then
: the law raises cane with him; if be is
a poor man, he is poor manager
and has no sense If he is rich he is
dishonest but considered smart; If he
is in politics, he is a CRATER, and a
crook; il he is out of politics you can't
place him as he is an undesirable citi-
zen; if he goes to church, he is hyp-
y ocrit; if he stays away from church,
:, he is sinner; if he donates to for.
eign missions. he does it for show il
a he doesn't he is stingy and tight
q wad. When he FIRST came into the
! world everybody wanted to kiss him;
:. before he goes out they want to kick
:, him. If he dies young there was 8
j great future before him; if he lives to
q ripe old age, he is in the way, only
: living to save funeral expenses. Life
is funny proposition after all.
saw where Bill Dooley had gone &c
the West. / hope that he will have 8
4 good time ont there, but hope that he
= will still write to the News, for like
g to read his pieces and also aUncle
Tom" letters, and also those Of
Farmers Wife. Farmer Boy
