INTERESTING LETTER
Jamestown. May 3, 1917

Jamestown, May 3, 1910.
Brother Mercer: [ thought
perhaps our many friends about
Fitzgerald would like to know
what had become of us, and have
decided to let them know some
thing of our whereabouts through
your paper.
We boarded the 9:45 train at
the Seaboard depot April 10 and
arrived at Indianapolis at II 80
on April %, and arrived in James
town at $50 the same evening.
The next morning we met a
cold blast from the north, which
lasted three days. We had quite a
snow store, the thermometer reg
istering as low as % above.
We saw along our route in Geor-
gia corn six inches high and be-
ing cultivated the second time.
but when we struck Indiana
farmers were just blowing fol
corn. The fruit trees up here are
Fin full bloom; wheat, oats anC
grass are looking fine. Corn is
selling for 50 cents; potatoes sc
cents, hay So to $40 per ton; cat
tie. horses and hogs are out OF
sight. My son-in-law, Joe EN-
inert. sold twenty-four hogs at 1C
cents. to be taken May 20. Don T
say anything yet about cheap pork
chops.
Now. Brother Mercer. if YOU can
read my scribbling and can use it
say so. and | will write some for
your paper occasionally.
We are going to West Plains.
Mo-, when it gets warm enough to
leave the fire.
[ told Brother William to have
The Enterprise sent to my address
at jamestown, Ind, as | must
have the news from Fitzgerald.
Yours truly.
