count of hog and dog inauenz,

Think will have to make an ordei
Tor a wooden leg. l am glad anc
thankful | am some better.
Sickness in this part is generally
improving and we can see a good
spirit in the people both for kind
ness and business which hope viii
continue.
Crossties are bringing a fair price
and very fair treatment by most oi
the companies on inspections, your
grandpa had a good business call
few days ago by a number one
tie company. also a lumber com.
Dany of St. Louis, Mo-, for nine
hundred feet of his river front and |
satisfied them both. You cam
Tell, they may want me to buy all
the good crossties and two by fours
| can get now pretty soon. II they
ask me to do this, make your ties
good and cut good scantlings and i t
such was to be put on your grandpa,
he will be honest and treat you
exactly right. | think there are
better times close to hand, 1t is
due time for them, but l hope cur
people will never Drift back into
lnreasonableness, again as they did
during that great blessed unright-
eous war.
Well we hear our neighbors talk
ing a great deal about wanting a
consolidated school and every time
| hear one of them say he wants it
to come it makes me love him that
much better. Neighbors, let's have
consolidated school. | haven't
child to send. | wish ! had for l do
love children and will give 100
dollars to the cause and if there is
any other good thing l can do l
will do so. You know good schools
and good examples and right ex-
pressions arelthe real things to make
good women and good men and l
see as fine and noble material in
this county as ever lived.
Well | see quite q number of an
nouncements for the different offices
of the county and are all so far
as | know fine material. But look
out boys somebody is going to get
beaten. The best thing in the
world is going to happen this time.
Here il is the women are going to
vote and my heart and soul is
overjoved. When the mothers,
daughters and sisters get their power
their rights-there will be that
much heaven poured out at the
ballot box. | had rather risk any
woman that respects herself to vote
right as any, man. If she makes
a mistake it will be true one. 1t
won't be because she got a gallon
Of old John barley corn or $40 rake
off. Lookout son, better do tight
and you can run right. Your
grandpa intends to see good many
people before the election and any
statement he ever makes against
you you will never get up in public
and deny, if he is in hearing and
when he makes one for you it will
count. The people are just ready
for truth and facts and your grandpa
thinks he has Ford car full of them
with good man to deliver them.
| don't want to run for office this
time because | don't want to beat
you and | would sure do it. You
have been expecting to run and
want the Office and don't | want
to get into little more trouble
anyway going to pnt in a saw mill
near my home, But now if / get
enough of that mill business and
the fish don't bite good you may
lookout four years from now,
Whatever office | run for if you
run will almost tailor you,
Let me have a word more. My
soul is sad over the departure OF
my good ard best friend, DR.. G,
Kendrick. My soul is rejoicing
to know that Jesus has got him.
| am so thankful we haven't lost
DR.. Kendrick. He has Just gone tc
Heaven His work and deeds and
his fatherly kindness will be here
as long as mankind rules and live
forever.
Good Editor, let me by and
will come again. | am not through
Love to all,
