 Miss Esther Yonge desires it to be known that she spells her name differ ently and does not live on Nubbin Ridge. Oimstead, please take notice.
 Nubbin Ridge has the incest district school I have seen as we'll as the only motor blow and should think it's neighbors will soon want to be claim ing to be part of it.
 I had the pleasure of visiting the Tip Top correspondent and the school. I do not wish to be misunderstood nor to have any other correspondent to think I am complimenting her or her school at their expense, for local ly it is called Greasy Valley. That Is nothing to be ashamed of, for grease and gold are now almost synonimous terms. It is located on Bayou Meto.
 South of it I found a sharp ridge running east and west with crystal coated rocks at it's apex. I searched the top of the ridge until l found big fiat rock high enough for a bed am writing these notes on it and if go to sleep on it before I get through don't be disappointed. AS I face the north the rocks dip into mother earth in front of me at an angle of 45 de grees, which is peculiarity of most of the ledges of this county
 came near forgetting the little snow drops and lovely violets, but when I came to look at the latter closely they are not violets, but the flower is violet while the leaves are more like grass. Shall we call them Rock violets?

However. have no hes itancy in declaring myself unqualified | ly in favor of such general proposi- tions as woman's suffrage. prohibition | of the liquor traffic, improvement of | the initiative and referendum system and, in fact, our legislative system. I think We have too many elections, too much politics, especially in our char itable institutions, and that there are many evils which we should get rid of. and good things which we should take on. l favor a short constitution deal 1 ing only with forms of government and fundamental organic laws, except In cases of burning questions and inn portant reforms, which should be put at rest in the constitution. I think | that every constitution should be the work of the people. and that it is folly for the convention to adopt one which It knows in advance will not be ap- proved by the people 70 adopt a peoples constitution many of the dele gates, especially lawyers. will have to sacrifice personal views, likes and dislikes, and delegates regarded as conservative lawyers will have to be sure that in every change they make they are progressing and not standing still.
 have nothing to offer in behalf of my candidacy except the record of my life in Pulaski county, where I was born, where my mother was born. where my grandmother was born, and where all my children have been born. and where we have always lived and expect to live.
 Respectfully submitted, ASHLEY COCkRILL. Advt.
