I II have to lick with the goats and q man with that bunch reapeS nothing but hard luck. Yes l agree that there has been a time when my bunch might have reap ed a few of those roses. but the same gang that picked the goose. also picked the roses. and of course there is noth- ing to recognize but the thorns Yes I'm sure that it is the negroes ten commandments that Alex remembers for it is nothing in the Bible from the fact that book is a stranger to his mind. Yes I'm sure if I could follow Alex and stop belly aching, as he terms it. and had been where he was Satur- day 'ght and other times could mention the space that I know reasons would he vacant and l would add one more to the population of the Nut Factory. Yes I attended the singing at Bodcaw Sunday Had fine singing and all so met Alex. He carried the same old smile. the mellow breath and glossy eyes as custom So the Sun day school he mentioned will certainly prosper under such conditions. Now old boy if you will get on the right side and confine yourself there, you will have less trouble with the fruit jars. Luck to all.
