Editor of Herald

llC OShiioO VI my SOi olOh0OHV II o.
ternity in old Greene County when in
came the paper of the 1Ith instant,
with its editorial notice of Leo S
letter from Ball.
Brother, Leo desires to know
what has become of Club Fist,
Curious, " odd Mig" ''Bill Nye !,
and all the other Nigs and Bills, and
assumes that they are all frozen up
and that they will thaw out in the
Spring. By George! That saves
the expense of Grape, and makes my
lachrymal flow less copious.
BLACK Eyes and Brown Eyes
and Blue Eyes" and all the beau
teous sisterhood and gallant brother
hood are noI dead but will revive
with the flowers, in spring time
Glorious news Let US hope they
will all come forth with renewed ar
dor to push the pencil in the interest
of our Herald, as in response to the
voice of Spring which says:
Come forth, Dye children of
gladness! Come!
Where the violets lie, may be
now your home.
Ye OF the ose,lip, and dew
bright eye,
And the bounding footstep,
to meet me, fly!
With the Tyre and the wreath,
and joyous lay,
Come forth to the sunshine;
may not stay.
1t is true that your Stockton cor
respondent has not flooded the Her
aid with correspondence during the
past winter, but be has not the same
advantages that the local correspon-
denis have, as the small doingS OF
the people here would not have the
same interest to hhe readers of the
Herald as those reported by local
correspondents. Then he doubts
very much whether his writings are
ever read with the same interest as
those from nearer home.
| observe, in passing along the
street, some signs OF the approach of
spring. | notice sign in grocery
window Which reads, Fresh Eggs,
twenty-five Cents a Dozen Now
that shows the thens have resumed
business and beginning to sing their
songs Of Spring Eggs have been
htty cents per dozen during winter,
The COWS do not appear to have
noticed the approach of spring, for
butter still remains az forty-five
cents per pouad. But then COW
never seems to be as bright mentally
as chicken. A COW never announ-
ces the approach of day. She does
not appear to care when daylight
comes but leaves the whole matter to
the chicken who makes it known an
hour in advance. Then hen is a
good natured kind of bird, what
could be more expressive of content
ment and peace and peace and good
will to all men and things than the
song of ID hen as she goes along,
minding her own business and sing
ing to herself.
There is only one period in the life
of hen when she is cross, and that
is when she is trying to incubate a
batch of eggs of, to her, unknown
origin. Then she wants to be let
alone. She has a tedious task on
hand. She not only knows the
necessity of attending to the pro
cess Of incubation, but she has tC
figure out the relationship of the
members of her prospective family
and this last taxes her utmost in
genuity. Then perhaps she takes +;
survey OF the eggs and thinks nov
L did not lay that particular egg
I'll bet big worm, that saucey OF
speckled hen that winked at me yes
terday outside the barn laid tina
egg! The saucy old thing! Sh
thought she was smart strutting
along there with my friend who ha
such pretty comb and such beauti
ful tail! Then she shows her good
ness OF heart by doing her duty t,
all, regardless of the former insul
of her barn yard rival Or any jealous,
which might rise In her breast.
Well, spring is the most delight
fnl season in California and if any 0
our old Greene County friends con
template visit to the great land 0
tne west, it is high time they begiI
to pack their trunks to HE ava.
toward tie land of the setting sun
Yours truly, j.
