In reading last issue of your

Gle from DR.. j. T. Jones, which
awakened old memories. While
| did not know all the people to
whom he referred, yet many of
them l recall. When he referred
to Chenille, alias Hardscratch, l
could but be reminded of that
grand old Roman, Uacle Mat

emplifed by Bill Tupman, Jesse

DR.. J. T. Jones, John and George

Kentucky hospitality.
1t will be remembered that /
was very sick, and was not re-
stored to normal health until the
October following-my visit be-
ing in July. Some day I hope to
wander back again, and hope
that the public highways will be
taken out of the creeks, graded
and made passable. In all states
people are conservative, and not
inclined to adopt new customs.
AS l have frequently observed in
my correspondence, Adair coun-
ty, Kentucky, far surpasses
Cleveland County, North Carroll
ma, in fertility of soil and other
natural advantages, but you
would be surprised to see our
sand clay thoroughfares, the i'm
provement in farming, the tasty
residences, churches and school
houses, and the number of peo-
pie who ride in automobiles that
they own themselves.
AS for fertility of soil, South
America surpasses our continent,
and Mexico is superior to Ger
many in natural advantages-yet
behold the contrast in develop
ment. In Germany the roads
are among the best in the world
medicine, surgery, chemistry, in
tensive farming, practical educa-
ton as well as classical, are not

| see that many mugwumps
and jugwumps are bowling with
unholy glee, and tossing boquets
at themselves because Old
Bryan is dead agin." His ad-
mirers have been hearing that
for twenty years, but he was the
Warwick of Baltimore, and ev-
cry time he dies, like Samson, he
pulls the temples of false gods
down and Stays thousands of the
uncircumsized. Here the anal
ogy between Bryan and Samson
ends. Samson used the jawbone
of donkey to kill a thousand
Philistines, and the defamers of
Bryan are using the same old
discarded weapon. But the jaw
bone acts as a boomerang, and
the calumniators are hoist on
their own petard. In the days
of Baalam, when he rode the pa
iron saint of Bryan's detractors
and it spoke to him Baalam re-
garded it as a miracle. Now
nothing short of a miracle can
keep one from talking, and it is
always 'Bry-y-yan. Bry-y-yan.

he always looks behind him to
