and chat with you a few minutes.
Health of this section is good
and everybody is thru planting
corn and it will be up nearly large
enough to pillow by the time this is
in print.
Mustard, lettuce. onions and
radish are nearly large enough to
Craze and then your uncle will be
in the swing.
Well, Mr.. Editor, guess you
have seen in the big dailies about
our state legislature investigating
the acts of Governor Ferguson.
Do not think for one minute that
they will impeach him, for they
will not, for he was elected by the
brewery delegation and promised
them that any bill that came be-
fore him against the brewing
interest would get it where the
chicken got the ak. So if he
should take a notion for the State
of Texas. all he would have to do
would be to charge it up as Incl
dentals to the governors man.
sion and it would go. The law of
this state is that an appropriation
shall be made for the keeping up
of the governors mansion. So,
when we get a CRATER in the Of
fee, we may expect anything but
good wholesome laws, for he has
the power under that act to go all
gaits and charge it to the state;
and while we have such men in
our legislature as we have we
can't expect anything but graft.
| was in Fl. Worth last Satur-
day, the 18th, and went out and
spent an hour with J. A. Lewis
He is the same old Jim but has
rheumatism in his knee SO he can

| have a rather peculiar Attic
ton of some kind that is battling
the medical science of this coun-
try. So far, as have not been
examined. | will describe my case
and if anyone can diagnose the
case and send a remedy it will be

have to walk, can sit in the room
by the fire and read all day; but
just as soon as they want me to
do some work, then Ibegin to feel
bad. ! have a tired sleepy feel
ing and | tell you it is something
fierce. Then, there is another
peculiar thing bothering me and
that is my eyesight. | can sit
and read all day if they do not
want me to do anything, but just
as soon as the madam wants me
my trouble begins. I get the hoe
and 90 to work like fighting fire,
and when they are not watching
my eyesight gets bad and | cut up
q few of the best plants on one
row and tramp down another and
then | call the wife and girls to
come and brag on my work, and
as soon as they get there they can
see the damage that has been
done, and then they excuse me
from garden work for the rest of
that summer. 1t is awful to be
SO afflicted, but guess we are
all liable to affection of some kind

News, that some friend is send

low wages and then to be run out
Of their homes. 1t throws them
in a pitiable condition.
