Dear Mr.. Edditer: Wuz so glad

givin you some more currant events,
as to what we wimmin in the ole Sa.-
kerhatchie valley wus >doin. Well.
senca ritin you lass, we've bin gettin
ourselves orginized an prepalrin fer
mex years work. So in consequents
we held meetin at Frog Level school
house which wuz very interrestin
an we feal that it will be fer reachin
in it's defecs. The teachers of sed
schule an lots of our 2uolic sperriEed
Wimmin came out and showed much
enthooseasm in the su5jec. Even
Miss Emmerline Augustine Skinlint
and Henrietta Josephine Upjinks who
are faithful ole Ian marks il our kom-
munity, wuz there. OF cours we wuz
glad to have thin, even if Miss En-
merline did bring her three cats, as
is ginerally her custum. Thin, too
we'd sed we wudnt ak emmy Of the
men folks to our meetins, but l no.
tised as sune as I cum in that there
wuz ole Mr.. Jeremia Hopkins, sprie
ole widower frum nearbye town set
tin by the dore.
Now, thay doc say that he is pour
full sweet on Miss Henrietta, an if it
wuz so, why we'd trie not to say an
nything about him cummin, fur gud-
ness knows its nifty rear thing fur
Henrietta to hav beau, tho l felt
in the beginnin that his presents
there wud caus trouble. Well, the
tyne had cum fur startin and Sarah
Jain Doolittle, who Wuz supposed to
bee vice cheerman, hadn't arriv yet,
so thay perposed to max me cheer

l assoomed a crate deel of dignity
and TUX the cheer an begun by calm
the hous to order, but it scanned more
like calm it to disorder. In the fust
place ole Jeremia happined to think
uf sumthin sweet he wanted to say to
Miss Henrietta, an he Wint to step
acrost the isle quick before he forgot
hit. Howsumever, in his haisteA he
furgot to be prudent, so down Gums
his two hunderd poun waite on the
rear end of Miss Emmerline's' favorit
cats anatermy, and my, what a rack

1eaved at that pertickular pint. that
animil maid dive fur it's mistress
fur proteckshun, an instid of leavin
his footprints on the sans of tyne, he

Now, Mr.. Edditer, if you've ever
met Miss Emmerline and her nose
you'll remember that origin wuz a
prominent asset in her maik-up, an
of cours she did not want it marred.
Thin, too, the cat in his frantick ef-
forts had dislodged sum Of its mis-
tresss faulse hair, which maid bad
matter wusser. In the meme tyne,
Mr.. Jeremia wuz standin there bow
in and scrapin an er polergizin to the
cat, an Emmerline's nose, but heather
cat nor the uther party heard.
Immejectly after the trespas the
ole sister gethered up the remanes OF
her cats and faulse hair an lef, so
petrified she cud hardley taulk. Jere-
mia did seam to halt the thing so bad
an in fac we all felt very sorrie

erbout the tymes ginerally and pol
critics in pertickular Thay got to
discussin the diffrent offises, an the
ones who wuz bes fitted to hole thin
