to me like we are going TO leave
our children in bondage, an in
heritance that will be the greatest
curse that has ever befallen a
people.
Now boys what do you think of
the Referendum and Recall on a
proposition like this we are con-
fronting. BY the way we vote
on this proposition in November.
So get out your McLeaa's Alma
nae and post yourself thoroughly
on this question. A friend of
mine told me that he mentioned
this to several voters the other
day and they thought it was some
thing good to eat, something like
bacon and beans. You ask "Bill
Singletree" about this question,
he will take a pleasure in explain
ing it to you. The Referendum
and Recall is something that
gives US the right to correct any
mistake that we may make in
voting. Don't you think this
would be a good thing. All hon
est people want to correct mis-
takes and whenever you hear a
man say that he does not make
mistakes you may rest assured
that he is either a fool or never
has done any business. My whole
life has been a mistake, but We
have no Referendum and Recall
on our past lives, so We should be
very careful about making mis-
takes as We journey through this
hot country.
Now just like said in my last
dream about exempting 8 per
cent money. When this law was
passed it practically eliminated
all the money in the State from
taxation why. just simply because
the fellow that has $50, 900 in cash
claims it to be 8 per cent money
and consequently will not give it
in to the tax assessor at all. Now
| am judging the other fellow by
myself, il | had that much money
in cash, l would tell the tax asses
sor yes | have some money on
hand, but it is 8 per cent money.
| am ready to loan it out at that
per cent, so it is exempt from
taxation. Now the fellow that
has money does not need any ad.
vice from me or you about how
to manage his business, il he did
he never would have had any
money to start on. Now some OF
the people thought plowed a lit
tie too close to the corn last week
in my dream, but if it rains soon,
it will do good. The time to work
a crop is while it is not raining,
because you cannot do anything
while it is raining and too wet to
pillow, except cut sprouts and thin
corn.
| am very truly,
THE NOTED DREAMER.
p. S.-The "Noted Dreamer
has received q letter from one Of
the most prominent men in Ten.
nessee in which he says: 81 am
enjoying reading the Noted
Dreamer's Dreams. think that
you are putting it to them just
right. Old Lafayette will wake
up some of these days and find
that someone has told her the
truth, but she would not believe
until it was too late"
P. Scamp meeting started
here Monday, the preacher was
due to be here promptly at 0
O'Clock Monday morning, but did
not arrive and begin services I'M
til Monday afternoon at 1 O'Clock
although there had been a couple
OF steam wagons that had come
to the church in ample time for
him to have gotten here on time,
but we suppose it would have in
terfered with his pleasant dreams
to have hooked on to one of these
wagons. Now the mourners of
this meeting had gotten an instru
ment OF writing from the deacon
OF this church, the sheriff, to be
on hand promptly at 8 O'Clock.
Most all OF them had to start very
eirly, as they came to the church
in their four footed automobiles
at speed Of about three miles an
hour. This slow speed was caus
ed mainly on account OF bad
roads and scarcity of fuel. When
the preacher began his services
at 1 O'Clock thera were two of the
county mourners that failed to
answer to their names at that time
OF the day, so he put a fine on
them.Now it does seem to me that
the people should have the same
right to put fine on the preach
or for being late that the preacher
has for putting a fine on the mem
bers OF his church. We know
that the preacher has a good
many privileges that themourners
do not have, for the reason that
he is supposed to have good old.
