LETTER FROM GEORGIA.
"UncIe Iv" Morgan Writes
Characteristic Letter From
His Adopted Home
in Georgia.

My dear young friend:- I rather
call you that than Mr.. Editor. When
will Tho Advertiser come to me:
l miss it 80 much IN my new place
of abode. Well myself and a por
tion of my family took dinner with
Mr.. Sam Chea,ham. Yes, Sam
Chealham, Edgefeld Sam, hone,
Sam; yes, he raises honey yet and
sweetens his coffee with it.. So ]
thought that it wouldn't do for Sam
TO get ahead of Uncle ", 80 / pu,
some honey in my coffee too bul
alsp put in pretty good chunck OF
cheese. What did We have for din
npr. Well now were l to tell all th.
different kinds Of food l am afraid
it would cost you something for
there ouid not be as much space
for advertising. Both Of H. w
Dobey's daughters were there. Oh
yes | forgot we had goose for din
ner fattened goose, not one caught
up from the flock and killed, no sir
goose fattened like a pig. Was
the goose good? why sir I now feel
like saying huuk konk, but | am
rather afraid ior fear | might wanl
to fly.
But there was something thai
made me feel sad. Mr.. Cheatham'r
son Charlie, has gone 20 Asheville,
N. c., to be treated for consump
tion and his mother has gone to b..
with him for awhile.
How am pleased with my move?
All right 80 Tar. Haven't regretted
it yet and see no reason why ]
should if we keep our health. Yes,
| expect to have some cotton this
wear and al A proof of it | have
found hue about fifteen or eighteen
inches wide and sharp too 80 | don't
.uess / can 20 barefooted this sum
mer or | might he minus a toe.
Oh yes, l forgot but the reason
I did was because I am an old man
and have wife on the road which
" two and a half miles to Mr..
Chcatham's would not seem more
than mile. Why? because there
are two as fine looking girls there
as have M, t in Georgia or left up
where I came from, and not only
line looking but 80 friendly snd
such good cooks. Can't you send
down a couple Of Edgefeld boSss
| dun't feel like I want anybody
but an Edgetield boy to win them
for his housekeeper. Lucky boy
that does, but Mr.. Editor you need
not tell everybody what l have
said. or the Georgia and Florida
railroad will have to attach an extra
coach to bring he boys down here.
What kind Of cows, hogs, horses,
'nules, sheep and goats have they
Town here Well sir some az good
of every kind that there is any
where, but vi course now and they
you see hog with its tail nearl,
reaching the ground and few COWS
that those who know say will give
from pint TO a quart of milk
lay. And rivers that dry up in the
ummer but in the latter part 81
the winter get from fifty to one
hundred yards wide, and while in
this swollen condition quantity oI
ishe. come up from the large river
and during the summer mon,ha
those who know say you can dip
,hem out with net mess at y
dip.
Well, I guess that goose is about
iiges,ed and | had better say good
hight, but regards to all my Edge
held friends. When l am here awhile
onger I will see about The coons iii
he swamps. But when | got tere a
nan told me that brother Johnnie
had requested him to put big COW
pell on me when [ started for the
,wamps TO hunt or Ash or l might
get lost.
Uncle lv.
