TO Cannon County Girl"

Editor News:
Well, Cannon Co Girl that red
headed boy is still free, but Uncle
Tom Hargis has married him another
wife. ] did want to get Uncle Jack
Sloan, P. A. Granthum, Nose Shrum
and some more old widowers and chiv-
arie him, but / learn that some wom-
an has sent him word that he must
come across, so | guess I'll let them
have their way.
Well, l guess Mr.. Brannan has an
swered ''Wild West" about the land.
Socialism, daughter, proposes to rob
no man nor set of men. Everybody
will be remunerated and cared for un-
less the people are more dishonest than
I think they are. That is a question
for them to settle. Should socialism
win | am sure it would never advocate
co~nfscation or fraud of any kind. The
con~fscators are in control now, and
your father and brothers are having to
give from o%ne.thlrd to one-half of their
labor for the privilege of living OIL the
earth, a thing God created and made
for all men. Now, daughter, we
don't blame the of the land for
this condition, but we blame the svs-
tenn of government that allows one
brother to disiDherit another. There
are several methods proposed to get
possession of the land and industries,
but what we need most Is the physi-
clan, the means at hand to cure, and
when that comes the medicine can be
applied.
I am glad you people over on
Straight Creek, one Of the finest farm
ing sections in Tennessee are becoming
interested in our social chats, and
hone tlity will contribute their mite to
the uplift of humanity l guess you
all will hang your heads in shame
when you read Representatives. let
tel about the discharge of men at
Whitwell for being socialists. 1t will
be news to you all,
Well, Ilike~your letters. Tell all
my fri, nds howdy and kiss your moth
er for me. / and John A. Partin may
come Gown in May OF june when
chickens get fat. Tell Tom ! said let
