Esteemed editor, We are just thru
our city campaign and election. The
party or ticket claimed to be of the
people and for the people was success
full in electing the mavor. The old
ring elected the commissioners The
peoples ticket won in carrying all
franchise measures. one Of them was
to make it possible for consolidation
of the two telephone companies. AS
it is now, one has 20 have two phones
in bis home at 4 cost Of $2.O per
month each, and two In his Office or
business house at cost OF IS. 90 each.
To be connected with your friends and
the social part Of the city and the bus
mess element you would have to have
the two phones in your home and from
two to sufficient number to handle
your business. There are few bust
ness houses here that have over hun
dred of each phones. Now, it will be
possible to just have one telephone
system. We feel like we have won
great battle, although we only elected
the mayor. The other commissioners
will have to fall in line and help car
ry out the will Of the people. or the
recall will be applied to them, and
that cuts their politi sal head off.
Last week was at Waco. Texas, at
tending the State meeting Of the W.
o. w. We had nice time, and q
very profitable meeting. think there
was about 1000 delegates to the W. o.
W. and about 800 or 5000 to W. o
W. Circle. Everyone seemed to enjoy
themselves. and the people of the city
entertained US better than any other
city we have met in for the last IA
years. have attended all of them
for the last II years. Our national
meeting will be in Atlanta. Ga, in
June of this year. hope to be able
to stop off and visit Sequachee Valley
on that trip. have many friends
that would love to shake hands with,
and, if possible I will stop off aud
spend a few days in the valley.
Yes, we are into the war now. No
one can tell as what the result will
be, or the hardships that we will
have to bear. we'll remember the
days of the rebellion, and it makes me
shudder to think Of what this war
may mean, and the way it looks now
they will have clear trail to enter
the U. s. through Mexico. but ] sup.
pose all we can do Is to hope for the
best.
was awful sorry to see the condi-
tion that ST. s. b., of Arlington,
had gotten into. but there is a rene.
dy for that blindness that causes him
to trample down and dig up the vege-
tables in the garden. A good applica-
tion of broom stick we'll applied ex
ternslly will restore sight very quick
ly, and for that sleepy feeling in the
day time, a few applications of ice
water in lots Of quart at time, APP
piled at the proper time, has a quick
ening effect If Mrs. B, and the girls
will try this method of training. l
don't think it will be long until Tom
can be safely trusted in the garden,
and it will be almost impossible to
catch him sleeping in the day time.
was very sorry to learn that my
friend, "Old Joe." was glowing old
and feeble. Yes, "Joe,' we are all
getting old. but 1 do hops you will
live many years and do much good yet
before the final break down comes.
Cheer up. old boy, cheer up.
Hope to see many good letters in
The next issue of..the good old News.
