SS>S
fren Kap Shaw and Kernel Mersheen
has bin ritin to yore paper bout the
rodes and the bonds which is to bid
them. each man has his one noshun
bout these hear things and so has dote
smith. do not wish to be put in the
posiish of taken sides wifi neether
of theas good nabers bout the bonds,
but thort wood give my noshuns
bout the whoal thing.
see no use now to assure no bonds
what so never. you sea that the times
has changed sints the peepul voated
the bonds. then they had plenty of
mummy and everyboddie was aibal to
ray on the bonds and bid rodes fur
tler ordermorebiles to run on but
now nobody has no mummy to pay
with and it air not necessity to assure
the bonds atall, becos by this time
next yeer if thear air not change
in serkumstants about evry uther man
will be on the chane gang and we
kin then bid the rodes without the
bonds atall, and I am afraide now
that am goner be one of the uthers
(which will be on the change gang
and fur that reesin 1 fine myself in
acord with Kap Shaw on bollishin the
whole gang. but if we continues to
have it as i sed there will no use fur
bonds atall. There will be sevrul law
yers and uther lofers on the gang
and all furnitur deelers, sum bankers
and think we will have sum of the
kountie officers on too unles times git
better. 1t will be we'll to have few
pollertishuns on with the rest of US
becos we will want to have fue set
back klubs in the gang to play on
sattidy mites and theas officers kin
run fur the offises in the setback
klubs and keep things interestin fur
US all. there will be huff of them to be
prest, visit prest and seckratary
think.
see that bruther .Mersheen want
to use the bond mummy to survaigh
the rodes, but this is not necessity
neether bekos we will ketch survair
or too in the net with the uthers and
while he is servin his sentunts we
will have all the rodes survaid. we
want to git sum of the kotton byers
to do the gradin on the rodes, but if
they know no moar bout gradin
roades than they do bout gradin
kotton they will have all the roades
runnin throu the bottoms and will
never git high on the hills. if they
gifts me up and bout to send me in /
wants you to- git me recommended to
mercy and maybe they will maik me a
trusty or a waterboy so that the job
will be eesy, that>is you do this if
they gifts me befoar they doc you.
l sea that my ole friend prest Har-
din what is to be prest is havin a
good deel of trouble bout gittin his
cabbinit full of good men. has he
ever heerd of judge Seese. it seem to
me that sumo of the trends of Judge
Seese which is running him for all
the jobs of Judge wood do we'll to
wire his name in to Hardin and may
be he Good land a job in the kabber-
nit, as the legilatur doc not seam to
want as good a man as Judge Seese
fur the supream Kort. what do judge
seese want on the supream Kort fur
ennyway. they is no grand jury to be
kust out in that air kort, so judge
bob merKombs tole me and what he
say is konkurred in by judge joans
+ Miller.if was rum Kort wood
! want a grand jury bekos sumthin will
always be goin wrong in emmy kort
and if you has grand jury why lay
| it all on the grand jury and fetch
them in and kuss them out that will
fix things in CRATE merjority OF
cases.
has red yore remarks bout corp
kerr goin to the suthern Daypo to
meet preecher Slone and gittin MKT
up in the dark. it seam to NEE that
