To Whom 1t May Concern.

| am not writing this article for
pleasure, but because | have to
to protect myself in the eye of the
public. AS some of the Baptist
people have had a great deal to say
about me and my husband con-
corning Fuller Swift's and Mabel's
case, and since Mrs. Wilson called
on me on the evening of October
24th in behalf of Swift and Mabel,
and tried to get me to apologize
and take back what I said about
them-that is, that I believed the
talk about them-I will give all to
understand that | am a woman of
strong enough character and prin-
ciple to say what | mean and stand
by it; there r not enough people
in Ironton to make me take it back.
During my conversation with Mrs.
Wilson | told her I believedit, and
would, until they came out and
proved themselves clear to the
public. l told her if it wasn't so
why didn't they prosecute Mrs.
Thornton? Mrs. Wilson said they
could not do anything in the courts
here-the officers would not give
anybody justice.
The 22d chapter Of Proverbs
says: "a good name is rather to
be chosen than great riches, anG
loving favor rather than silver and
gold" Mrs. Wilson got SO stirred
up in the conversation that she
said if she believed it she would
not let the people think she did it
would only hurt the church.
Now a word to Joseph Thomp-
son, Deacon of the Baptist church:
You have said you had investigat-
ed those letters that Mrs. Thornton
has, and yet two weeks ago last
Wednesday night you told a mem
Der of your church that you had
never seen those letters. | would
like for you to explain to me how
you could investigate them with
out seeing them. You also told
that same member that Grover and
| had harmed your church more
than anybody else. I am not a
member Of that church, but of the
Cove Baptist Church, and my hus-
band is not a member Of any
church. Now Joseph Thompson,
| want you to prove to the public
how we have harmed your church,
if you are a man of your word.
The one that has ruined your
church is a member of it, but you
don't want to think it because he
is of your politics and has a little
money. No, you want to lay it on
a poor, innocent woman. Thank
God, there is One who gives me
strength day by day to fight the
battle through this sin cursed
world. You can prove by the
church what kind of a leader it
has. Where the love of God dwells
there is peace and harmony. |.
want to say to you parties if there
is anything you want to know why
l believe what | have said, call on
me and | can tell you things that
l don't wish to put in print.
And | also want to say to the
Church Clerk, Mr.. Martin, | want
you to scratch my name off your
church book, where you have it
without any right.

WilIett.

Susan Willett, nee Bollinger, was
born in Madison county, Mo, near
FrcdeTicktown, in 1846, and died
at the home of her brother, near
Sabula, October II, 1911, on the
old homestead where her parents
came to live in Iron county in 1860.
In her early girlhood days she m
braced the religion of our Blessed
Savior, who died to save a lost and
ruined world, and ever lived a true
Christian life. During her long
illness she often expressed herself
as being ready to depart, if it was
the Lords will to call her, but had
a desire to live to comfort her fam
lily. She was married to William
Willett, December 55, 1870, became
the mother of four childen, one
dying in infancy, and her daugh-
ter, Ella, preceded her to the other
shore twenty odd years ago. She
She leaves a husband, two sons, a
daughter-in-law, seven grand
children, three brothers, four sis
ters and a number of other rela-
tives to mourn her demise. May
the children live the life of the
righteous that they may make an
unbroken family around our Faith
er's throne in heaven is the prayer
of the writer. Bro. j. Clark, our
pastor, preached the funeral, after
which we laid her body to rest in
the old Bollinger cemetery, under
a ~profusion Of flowers, to await
the resurrection norm.

While sitting on the jury bench
last week | had a chance to see
the inside of the courthouse and |
must say it is a disgrace to our
county. The paper on the walls is
all torn and the stoves are entirely
too small and l suppose they have
been in use ever since the war.
There are only two lamps in the
room and one of them has no
chimney; they tell me that you
have to strike a match to see if
they are lighted. 1t needs paint
ing very badly and the floor
down in the hall looks like it has
been there over fifty years. hope
our county court will get a move
on them and put in a heating and
lighting plant and new floors. l
don't believe there is a taxpayer
in the county who will object to
it.
/ stopped with our sheriff and
deputies during my stay at court.
They are a fine set of men and are
strictly business men. They will
do all in their power to accommo-
date you. l noticed that our judge
had his little boy with him. l
think every man that has a boy
should take him to court as it
gives him a lesson that he doesn't
learn at school. Our boys will be
our lawyers and judges some day
and we should do everything we
can to advance them while young.
Another thing l want to mention
is the pleading of VIM. R. Edgar,
Jr., in the Kelly case. 1t was ell
egant and pathetic and no jury
man could convict that boy after
hearing young Edgar. He has a
bright future and the old man
will soon have to take down his
single and give way to his boy.
Boss Sisk, brother of Doc Sisk,
(roadmaster) died last week. He
leaves a wife and seven children.
He died with pneumonia after be-
sick about ten days. Mr.. Sisk
