! l know this is personal but some folks
are so jealous of Uncle Tom, their life
is misery to them. Well, now, try
to treat folks nice and genteel, and if
have more go-sheadativeness than
these little stick-in-the-mud have.
| they oughtn't to blame me. but blame
themselves for allowing me to do it.
Some say run things and head every
thing that comes up, and then get mad
and talk about me to strangers, and
these strangers tell me what has been
said don't get interested enough to
inquire who said so and so. My life
is an open book and if my record isn't
clean, let my traducers trot out the
proof. No, 1 stand for law and order.
Next, believe in truthfulness, and
frown on hypoorioy and deceit, and
when boldly declare and protest
against such things. enemies rise up
and begin their onslaught.
Only the other day heard of hyp-
ocritical pretender trying to traduce
and belittle the old man, and make
him appear as very vile man. This
traducer tries to preach sometimes,
when he can get congregation, but
he don't get one very often up here
