We nave bad giorous rains mp here
ard il seems that it has brought new
life into all vegetation and quickened
the sririt in man and beast There is
quite difference in the prospect of
crops now and that of ten days ago. l
believe there is little hope now of
our crops coming out little. Ye
writer has got in acres of sugar cane
this year, and is expecting to sweeten
up my country for miles around.
am expecting to go with A. j.
Holloway and others to Tatesville to-
morrow on little hunting and buckle
berry picking trip back in the wild
woods of OLD Cumberland mountain, TO
be gone some three or four days We
are expecting to stop at the Rev. j. j..
and r. J. Whites and consume about
100 lbs. of mutton while we arry in
the wild woods. roaming over that
grand and glorious mountain hunting
grounds of Tennessee. | can't tell just
now what the final result of this big
hunt will be but win state we are ex-
pecting to land big bear and few
deer we have got spotted, but there
are two fellows that are going along
with us as shack roasters that their
characters and good morals have been
touched up Just little heretofore as
not being careful es to what they shot
at while on stampede on bear drive
and one of those old wild wind split
ters made quick dash by willie they
were on the stand and said that they
fired too quick before investigation az
to what confronted them and laid the
old wind splitter low in the shade. So
after got this report 'on these two
parties, l informed the balance of the
crew to keen their eyes skinned on B.
and J. or else the whole shooting
match would be landed into big
wild wind splitter hog law suit, 50
this is why l make mention of this
matter now before we start, so If those
two noted characters do get us into
hole, am expecting to leap on the
grounds of self defence. knew they |
would play .the dickens before we
started, so I have filed notice to all
partys concerned to sleep with one eye
open at night and keep 1t conferred
right on them. OF course don't mean
to say they would kill sheep or any
thing of the kind, but might do some
thing that would arouse suspicion
while we were asleep. Always look
sharp and be sure to sleep with one
eye open, for tell you | am afraid OF
them for they have been in this hunt
ing business for number of years and
this is my second trip and hear so
much about them can't to save my
life keep from being uneasy about
them, and while there might be no Sc
rious danger to apprehend, l will leave
the matter open until we get back and
then give details in full, good or bad.
I noticed Mr.. Lucas writes and
comes cutting and carving the union
labor organizations. If was a mem
Der Of the union / would stab him to
the heart with his own weapon.
don't know him and don't want to
know him, for he is an ex-union man,
and a traitor, and was curse to the
organization while he remained in it,
and they were compelled to get rid OF
him, and separate him and his kind
out from among them, don't be-
long to any union but union men tell
me that Lucas was about to corrupt
the morals of the order by trying to
run things. 1t has always been my
pleasure to inquire into a mans char
,cter, good or bad. If church mem
her withdraws from the church and
lenies the faith and denounces the
church and her members as band of
,ynocrits, and says that religion is
mere whim of the brain, that person
8 said to be worse than an infdel,
md Christ says i. is impossible to ev-
II renew that man again. If that is !
,orrect, them that man is totally lost.
10 if man once belonged to union
md took the obligations, and then {
urned right around and said in the
,ublic press what Lucas has said, that
he members Of the union were MUIR
Ierers. that they destroy lives, they l
Lestroy property, and he also says that
eaving out this the union is the !
,randest thing on earth, he openly !
makes public confession that organized
abor unions are the grandest and mob /
est things in existence, and what
bout man once belonging to such
loble organization as he said 1t is.
eaving out the three principles he
harges them WITH I am lead to be-
ieve that he is guilty of the charges
s marked against you, as deserter G
vho denied the faith you once pledged i
our word and honor to stand by, and ,
ou look to me as though you are in j
he box the christian is in when he de- q
ounces and denies the faith and is I
aid to be worse than an infidel, and 7
{ would be hard indeed to ever restore I
on to any labor union again. 1t is Y
10 use for you to preach about how @
1and thing the union is, it can't b
clip having a few bad members in it. I
hey are in all unions, all organiza- '
