Getting Letters

When you're far away from
home an you're feeling kind
O. blue,
When the world is topsy turvy,
nothin' sets just right for
you,
You can answer all your troubles,
and your cares you never
mind
When you've really had a letter
from the girl you left behind.
When the cooks down right
fussy, and his biscuits never
rise,
When he feeds you canned to-
matoes for seventeen straight
days,
You can quite forget he's fussy,
you can treat him fairly kind
If you've really had a letter from
the girl you left behind.
When the Captains got a crouch
an has bauled you out for
fair,
When some sassy Lieutenant
sassed you, which at home
he wouldn't dare,
You can lift your chin an whistle,
an that's easy you will find,
If you've really had a letter from
the girl you left behind.
When a letter comes you grab it,
right before the other guys,
An you get a little vision of the
light that's in her eyes,
Yoe can see her smiles an dim
Piles, an for other girls
you're blind,
When you've really had a letter
from the girl you left behind.
Just a sheet or two of paper,
with a purple stamp or two,
But it means the whole creation
to the heart an soul an you,
An you get to feeling pious an
you pray a bit you mind,
For the great Almighty's blessing
on the girl you left behind.

John Clifton Williams for
Chancery Clerk

At the earnest solicitation of
friends throughout the county
Mr.. John Clifton Williams has
decided to enter the race for
Chancery Clerk, and we are
authorized to make this an
nouncement this week. Mr..
Williams is most excellent
young man and we'll qualified to
fill any position within the gift
of the voters Of the county. He
has served as deputy clerk for a
number of years and has filled
several other places of honor and
trust where business ability
counts and has fully measured
up to every requirement. He
seeks this Office on his own
merits and it is safe to say that
if John Clifton is elecled Chicka-
saw county will have a Chancery
Clerk without a peer. Consider
his claims when you go to the
polls next August and vote as
your conscience directs.
