wen never tell any one that the
valuable Times has notified us that on
account of the boil weevil conditions
they are no longer prepared to en-
ploy paid correspondents, and of
course our dope" is too valuable to
go, on the free list. And when people
ask us why we have stopped writing
for the Times, we'll just say that we
were pressed SO hard with our busi-
ness that we did not have time. But
40 not suppose we will have to make
the explanation many times. How
ever to let out little secret we might
say that we are still the best of
friends, and when the saw mill busi-
ness gets dull, and the newspaper
business gets brisky we will endeayor
to kindle up the old Goals again, and
let the folks know what things are do
ing over in this neck of the woods.
