room, up stairs on a good feather bed,
and four large windows that you can
raise to have plenty of fresh air in
your room, and we could take you
over this same road, or part of it, and
we could show you good, smooth
road, hardly any rocks for jars, which
/ imagine would be a pleasure to you
to see these improvements, although
we have few of our neighbors who
holler to put on the brakes, to stop
these improvements; but our state
Legislature is furnishing a good deal of
the oil, by way Of certain auto license,
grain license, and many other incomes
to our state, to create the money for
the oil in the building of these roads.
My neighbors, by us holding them
down to the anxious seat for a year
and a half, they are coming in with
their donations. SIS each helps to
furnish this oil and l will say here
now that it is not necessary for any
body to "holler out'' to put on the
! brakes against this road as we have
shown them the benefit already; of
| what blessing it is to them, and it is
only little over year old, and am
! satisfied we will convert them, for
/ when ! meet anybody on the roads
they are giving me a. pleasant smile
Land 2 warm handshake, as they move
gently and pleasantly over the road
| When the above picture was taken,
only weighed about ITO pounds and
/ must say my wife weighs 180 and |
285 and the good people of Reynolds
County who get the benefit of this
road have hopes of putting the fat on
us but they didn't change my wife as
a lady or as gentleman, and didn't
increase our height any, but by giving
us their trade for this many years it
has increased our wealth until we have
a good living for the balance of our
days, and so we wish to thank them
for all this and we are worroying our
selves little in our old days to make
return to them for all their courtesy,
and that is, in the way of building this
road for their benefit, which hope
that they will realize soon and look at
it as my wife and I do. And when
she and mediate over our youthful
days we think of the Reynolds county
people often and wish we could dc
more for them in the near future. II
this doesn't find the waste basket il
will be continued and will now say
that my days are short, know, anc
for the sympathy and love that / have
for these people / wish when | an
buried I could be buried with my heat
towards Reynolds county, as q tokel
of my love for that people.
Yours truly,

CHARGE IT UP TO LIQUOR

There are 4400 unfortunates sent
to the Minneapolis workhouse every
year. Superintendent Mcdonald. who
has been at the head of the institution
for ten years, says in that time 10000
persons have been brought to him and
that NINETY-TWO PER CENT OF
THE INMATES ARE BROUGHT
THERE BY THE LIQUOR ROUTE.
That means that were it not for sa-
looms and the liquor traffic, instead OF
the inmates numbering 4,400 a year
they would number but 352. Think
of the lessened expense of main
tenance and then think OF the dimin-
ished costs of the courts whose time
is principally taken up in hearing the
cases, to say nothing of the increased
number of happy homes and manly
men, were the saloon abolished and
the curse of drink eradicated.

a young boy.
George is much improved in
health and his ankles are far
stronger than they have been for a

not SO much to assist his ankles
but to sustain himself if he should
happen to slip. George is locking
much better now, his eyes and

cords in his legs will socn be
strong enough SO that he cal get
