EDITOR News. of course it is
true you do not know me as | re.
member you; however, it was
you who partly educated me to
the extent Of my humble knowl-
edge.
By the label on my paper which
my father so kindly subscribed
for me some time past, note
owe you some money; hence,
enclosed you will find my check
for couple of dollars for which
you will please continue to send
me that amount of FULTON
COUNTY NEWS. ! desire to call
your attention to the fact that
the address must be changed
from No. Gil East Dowell St.,
Seattle, Washington to my pres
ent address as above.
While it has been 20 years
since | left that part of the
World, yet you cannot realize to
what extent | appreciate reading
the news of the GOOD OLD
FULTON. Think, for instance;
| note by your paper that my
big brother Harvey, of West
Dublin is sporting an auto, (The
popular Ford of course) and
without the Fulton News, | would
not have known it. With this
facility of travel, providing | can
induce my big Brother to haul
me, would like to see you
when on an early anticipated
visit to the County, when | will
expose to you a secret that has
been stored during all these long
years since | was one of your
mischievous' pupils in McCon-
nellsburg. You promised faith
fully you would expel from the |
school the pupil who performed |
this mischievous trick providing
you could learn who it was; con-
sequently | was compelled to
be a mason.
The different letters frequent
Iy published in your paper re-
garding the most beautiful Coun-
try, etc., very much amuses me
Inasmuch as this particular per-
son is inclined to believe he is
living in the best part of the
world. They may be according
10 their opinion if they have not
travelled very much. If / were
% give you a lucid description of
his Pacific Coast as | have view
I'd it you would have to publish
IN extra edition of your paper;
however, | will make this one
confession, basing my statement
m my humble opinion of the
lifferent sections of the world as
have observed them. This
tatement | make unbiased, as |
lave no interest whatever in the
'icinity. | will include the great
Saskatchewan Country in Cana
la, the level plains of the middle
Vest, the great bend wheat coun
ry of Washington, the great APP
lie countries of Washington and
oregon, the extensive orange and
Walnut groves of Southern Cali
ornia, and last, but not least,
his great Sacramento Valley of
he middle California, and of all ]
hese countries over which | have |
raveled there is not one that af- ;
ords more, if as much, genuine
eauty as the farming land in the {
'reat Cumberland Valley. The S
