A LETTER FROM
JENNIE TO FRED
teresting Description by Newcomer of Hattiesbu'
Its Advantages and Some of Its Enterprises.

the newest thing out, the .Krip-tok, Bi
sight and invisible glasses for seeing
far and near. When George came to
choose the frames he had an endless
variety to choose from, but he finally
decided on the newest, up-to-date Toric
ruse glasses.
We nearly had fatal accident the
other day. Georges delivery boy was
driving down the street delivering a
postage stamp that some lady, living
on Bay street, wanted delivered, (you
know how accommodating George isl,
and the wagon was struck by the cleo
trio car. (Oh yes, We have electric
cars here.) The boy was thrown out
and hurt quite badly. Some one
'phoned AZ for Ramseys ambulance
and they were Johnny on the spot"
and took the boy to the hospital. The
horse was so badly hurt that they
thought at first they would have to
shoot him, but they finally made up
| their mind to give DR.. Davenport a
chance to bring him through, so they
took him down to Davenport's vet
Urinary hospital on Pine street. He
was in bad shape, but DR.. Davenport
while. Understand he is also an ex-
pert in the treating of domestic ami
mails. He surely has an extensive
lpractice. The wagon was broken bad
ly so it was taken to Mr.. Otis Smiths
for repairs. Mr.. Smith has large re-
pair shop on E. Pine street, where he
repairs and builds wagons. He only
employs the very best workmen, and
gives the work his personal attention
and the painting. Almost in no time the
: wagon was fixed, but ladies, George
refuses to deliver any more stamps.
Well, we dropped in the other day
to HIGHTOWER'S store on Mobile
street, and l was surprised to find
! store like this here. l had just in
tended to get spool of thread. OF
. fcourse, George was along. I hardly
ever go anywhere that he doesn't go
! with me, and while l was looking at
dress goods, l noticed he was looking
at dress goods for men, and l guess he
found them, for he bought a suit for
+ business. besides a complete line in
gents furnishings. Then We both
needed shoes and we found an endless
stock to choose from at prices l know
that could not be beat in this city.
= Then l bought myself some under
, wear that l just simply had to have,
besides a general stock of notions l
needed for the house. His prices will
compare favorably with any place
have visited. Here is where Uncle
: Joe buys his seed to plant cotton.
, We bought all our seed for our garden
4 here. He also told Uncle Joe how to
: get rid of that pest, the boil weevil.
n YoW know those pictures l sent you.
e well HENLEY did the work. He is
e the leading photographer here and
e wern't they fine-so natural, he is a
Y good artist, isn't he? Yes, he does all
e kinds of work l believe he makes a
e sMecialty of babies pictures. At any
Il Cite, he is an expert in photography,
= He employs only the most expert work
It men and turns out a high class of
r work.
