LOCkHART JUNCTION
l am at home again, working most
ly in my own township last week. and
objections were good. Some of the
tvfored people who are taking the pa
per are renewing by selling chickens
and eggs and trying to keep UP their
subscription in that way. Anyway
~peddle, sell, barter, trade any way to
make an honest dollar it is all right.
Sallie Bailey, a colored woman, re-
1Rewed for her paper and said if I did
hot write oftener she would not take
it any more. So told her I was go
ing to write often. She has three
fine hogs fat enough to kill now.
We find some of the colored people
are doing we'll.
Junius Rodgers and his brother,
who are colored men, both renewed,
one by check and the other paid the
money. Junius handed me all the
money he had in his pocketbook and
said count that; it is all 1 have"
and he had enough to- pay ahead for
the paper. He said he would have
some more when / came back.
Olema Lindsay and Norah Giles
paid by selling chickens and eggs. I
took them myself and gave them
credit on the paper.
just mention this, as this is show
ing willing mind to keep I'D their
subscription to the paper. So any
others who want to pay that way I
will take chickens or eggs.
did not mention Dave Jeter last
week. who lives on Union Route r.
Dave is another colored man doing
well; lives on his own farm. takes the
paper, and Dave never had the money
at that time and said for me to meet
him at Union Saturday at the bank
and he would pay me. Dave is as
good as his word-he was there and
gave me the money. Dave has some
fine stock. He has several hogs for
this years killing. I must say for
Dave I find him above the average.
He told me there was two thousand
acres of land in that section that was
owned by colored people.
like to give praise to these people
who are making an honest living. 1t
is due them and they are all goud
colored citizens. AS long as they do
right the white man will be their
friend.
While travelling in Jonesville town.
chip l went through a section I had
not been to in good long time. This
Is in the upper part of Jonesville
township, near Pacolet. I find Sec
tion of roads that are almost i'm
passable and this is on a mail route.
1 don't see how he can stand to go
over these roads. If I had the lob
/! sure would give it up. 1 don't
know who is responsible for these
roads. L thought the government
was going to help keep up the mail
routes. l guess they don't know it is
so bad. l would make an investiga-
tion if I lived in that section to see if
this road couldn't be put in better
condition.
find there are some good paople
living in this section-Messrs. Cole
man Black, Hames Porter and others

who is better known as "Big Bob
Coleman" came out from the dining
room and asked me to come in for
dinner was on the table. They had
beans and Irish potatoes and that
sounded good to me. l did enjoy this
good dinner and my stop with him
and his family. There was a little
thing that occurred while I was
there-not so funny, but little ex-
citing at first, laughable when it was
all over. One of Mr.. Coleman's sons
while in the gear house reached down
in a box for something he wanted
and pulled out snake. Oh, my! you
bet there was jumping and following,
but they killed the snake and no.
