Special Correspondence to the Herald
Thanks Mr.. Memo for the kind in
vitatiOn you gave us last week to
come again this week. Why it is just
like accepting an invitation to a big
feed. For it gives me pleasure to sit
down at my desk and answer your
dope just as fast as you cand hand il
out to us. You say by the names OF
the seven planets" Sitter has de-
velOped a preacher. Yes a real dyed
in the wool preacher, yes. Indeed, you
will think so when he gets in your
wool, and before you get through with
him, and you would likely say that
we are behind the times when you see
all our old wool that it has been
tramped in the earth years ago.
Memo is some name amt it. Memo
That name is old. Why it was car
ried to the valley years ago and the
green sod rolled over it. So old it
is all covered with moss now. And
here lies Memo with his head resting
in the lap of Abraham. This is a fine
thing for Memo. But it is mighty
hard on Abraham. Search us. We
heard last Wednesday some said it
was the car rafting over the rail or
the wind or thunder roaring zap
plause) -hark! No it was Memo
making a speech for the new depot
You may make better success if you
get up a subscription paper to Sears
e Roebuck and see if they won't give
you a lift, then you can get your good
lumber for theirs. But first you will
have to get a good stand-in with the
railroad company or run a graft with
them, before they will violate their
contract. No you stated that you was
not knocking our town. What else dc
you call it. 1 am right here to tel
you that l boost my town, which
can prove, for / have the business
men back of me and we are getting
along very nicely in consequence, fol
our little town is thriving and we'll
and will continue in the work and en-
courage the lifteIs and a make a good
community that the people will bt
proud to live in.
Why didn't you answer Rev. Recht
His letter was all o. K, and yoU
never give an answer. Say you are
in your Goth year. Yes, you may be
like an old maid that wanted to de-
ceive some of the boys. She said she
had seen Is summers. Yes, her beau
told her, plus Is winters. So you
don't want to deceive some fair maid
en- of her seventeen or even twenties
right in the prime of life.
If you are just at your twenty-yeal
mark then wait till you live and see
Is or 20 more years, then you can say
you have lived and seen the days Of
progressive. What do you and
know about woman suffrage any.
how? For when a girl is fourteen
years old she wants to wear long
dresses, and when she is thirty-five
she wants to wear short ones. 1 will
agree with you that woman is the
weaker sex. You know that when
a woman comes in the house and
strikes match to light lamp, she
looks all around the house and under
the bed to see if there amt a man
there. Now when you and / come
home in the dark, we don't strike a
match (but we hit everything else)
to light a lamp, for we would not care
if there were four women under the
bed. am not city attorney here, but
l will plead my case to defend my
own town. We won't give up the
ship.
In regard to the freight train run
ming through here with out stopping
the one that informed you was your
neighbors and if he can't tell a work
train from a local freight, you had
better let him have your eye plates
What do we care anyhow, just so they
