Bilkinsyille. y. c. Sept. 2o.-Hay-
In bin quite gnwell for some time
hey failed 10 write fer your paper
Am glad ter say that am feelin'
some better.
Bilkinsville IL movin' erlong At ct
bout the same old pace OWN 10
the high cost ov Twin an other res
sons the population ov our town IL
not increasin' very fast But / kin
say that we hev a substantial town.
an hit will be put down on the next
new may that IL gotten out fer the
United States
Bilklnsyille hA a population now
ov about 20 people and liz located rite
on the banks oy Terrible Greek
Some years ago the chills CIV lis er-
bout awl the exercise we cared for.
Bat the temperance wave an other
things hez made chi'ls unpopular an
az ter snakes, they air not at awl
plentiful like they uster be.
PoIyticks an airships an ortermo-
biles give US plenty TO talk erbout
an air really awl the exsitement we
hev nowadays. Betsy heZ bin hintin'
erround like she wants me ter buy
one ov them airshIps. But Bob an
the cid buggy air erbout az risky
things az | mead fer travellin' in my
old age. We hev not noticed any
airships passin' over this burg yet.
But we hev visitors passin' through
in ortermobiles and an then. They
awlways attrack lots ov attention, an
people who own ortermobiles gener-
ally look like they think they own
the earth. By the way, did you ever
look over the ortermobile advertise
ments that air so common an numer-
Gus now in certain magazines and
catalogs. They air ennuff ter make
you dizzy. Such claims, Why. IL
you read an believe awl they say
erbout them machines you will GER
tainly be astonished. An | guess
much ov hit IL true Some ov them
kin go az fast the fastest railroad
trains over real guide roads, an keep
hit up fer hours at time.
They wuz a time when hit loked
like steam would hev ter give way to
electricity. An hit may yet. But
watch out fer gasoline in the final
wind up. Gasoline IL goin' ter give
awl ov the powers used TO propel
things a neck an neck race, an in a
the whole thing. But horses an
mules will still hev foot in the pie.
You can't down 'em. My old mule,
Bob, iZ gettin' younger every day, an
meaner. | believe Bob knows az
much now az the average politician.
an he takes lots ov stock in polyticks
an the other weaknesses an infirmi-
ties ov the human race.
Well, We air havin' a hot time in
Wake County so far az polyticks air
concerned. Did you ever see the like
ov hit? / am interested, ov course.
But | am not takin' a very active
part. I feel like me an William Jen-
nings Bryan air sorter down an out.
Mr.. Bryan may not feel that way er-
bout hit, but the signs awl pint that
way. | wish hit wuz different |
love the dear old Democracy an |
know that William Jennings loves h.
too. But what air we ter do erbout
hit? Every now an then some North
ern State goes Demoeratick just 10
cheer US up, reckon. But hit don't
last long. Maine hez turned over
frum some cause an that gives us a
chance TO hold up our heads an give
a few proud struts. But that wuz on
account ov local matters, guess, an
happend in this OF year. By the
next Presidential eleckshun Maine
will go Republican, By many thous-
ands, an We will be left sadly gain
at the hole Democracy went out at.
I notice by the papers that a num-
Der ov large pork packers hev bin ar
rested out West an that they may
be tried fer jinin' in a pork trust
Good, The trusts viii have ter be
careful fer the government liz after
them. We seldom see any pork or
bacon in BilkiEsvills az we do not
keep many hogs, but We air goin' te-
watch an see what the government
does to the pork packers, il convict |
ed. Hit liz high time that awl ov this
trust business be broken up, IL hit
kin be. an, ov course, hit kin.
Hit hez bin reported in Bilkins- |
