BRIT HUEY WRITES

We publish below letter from one of the pioneer citizens of this county who is now residing on his plantation only few miles south of Memphis, at a little station known as Walls. He is a typical southerner and one who was of valuable service to the South during the days of recon struction. He was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, it is said, and to know him is to like him. It was our pleasure to enjoy the true southern hospitality of his home few years ago and it is with pleasure that we give his letter space in our columns.
