Whackeydam Mo. Mar. 7 1910
Mr.. Clayt Stokely,
ExJudge county court and
would like to be again,
Deer sur hev jist red with a
goodeel Nv intrust yore articul in last
weaks TAME county demokrat address
ed to jess tollerton, our gain warden.
don't no whether jess will hav time 10
ansur yore letter or not, SO i will an
sur it fer him. Decides want to let
you no how an old hill billy looks at it
hev been livin up here on bare
crick long time, even befor the yanks
and jonnies chased each other back
ards and forards thru these hills. in
them days and fur long time after
ards, all had to do when want
ed littel meet wus to walk around
benin the bottum feeld and level
old Hulda on nice young buck and
drap him. or slip over on the uther
side NV the ridg and pick up a fat
yung gobler. we never kilt doe or
turky hin, we had a little game law
Nv our oan, and the gain kept perty
plenty, But as you say times hev
chan cd. in spite Nv all u demokrats
cud du to keep um out, peepul KEEP
kummin to the grand ole state Nv
Mizzuri. Sum wv them he'd never
seed much gain an they wuz so anxus
hev big tails tu tell when they got
home that they kilt game both mail
and femail. And they dident stop
when they had enuff to eet, they jist
went on KILN so thay cud hev bigger
tails tu tell. The result wuz, as a.
no that it has got so that we hev tu'
rase sheep an hogs fer our meet now.
We hev he'd gain laws an gain laws
but most Nv EN- dident wurk. fer
years hev wanted tn sea sum sort Nv
a law thet wud perfect our gain an
sum feller at the he'd Nv the law thet
i felt like wud inforse it. an when the
law wuz past last summer an jess wuz
put at the he'd Nv it sorty felt like
we wuz goin tu git rezults. And as
the days role by thet feelin gifts strong
er. i no it don't set well with Dem
okrats tn hev a republican gain war
den apinted by republican governor
an espesully when it is jess whu wuz
always a thorn in yore sides hear in
Tanie, but when you reflect on it, this
republican administration has dun
| moar good for Mizzuri than hat duz-
| en- Nv yore demokratick administra
shuns.
hev bin noticin thet there wuz a
heep Nv monte pilin up in jesse's
| hands and hev been wonderin what
he wuz goin tn du with it, fer noed
he wud fule fellers what wuz expec-
tin him tn pay it awl out fer depooty
hire. So ie don't sirprise me bit to
kere he is goin tn spend most Nv it
i fer gain birds to replenish our woods
an feeds. Now as tn the damage
that the gain does tn crops, don't
seam tn agree with sum Nv my nabors.
