Roads have dried out but are very
rough.

to PocahOntas these days.
Coleman and Paul Hayes visited B.
n. johnson Sunday.
Uncle LonzO Tribble and son, Robert,
Of Richwoods batched near here last
week and hauled stave bolts to the
Warm Springs mill.
While mt Warm Springs Friday we
met our old friend Luther Burbank
Shaver. He has regained his former
good health and is as spry as a pea
cock
ID. c. Bishop went to Birdell first
of the week to bring some cattle up to
his farm here.
W. H. Goodman and wife and little
daughter LOise, of PocahOntas visited

II. L. Barnett of Dalton and one Of

! buying some hogs from Il. n. Johnson.
Crockett Stevens and Mr.. Crews
have been cutting and cording some
hickory near here lately for the Sallee
hickory mill.
County Surveyor Eaton surveyed
some land near here for G.. w. Brown
and others last week.
Many of us farmers are hauling
stave and heading bolts to the mill at
Warm Springs. These mill men are
real nice gentlemen and we are all
highly pleased with the treatment ac-
| corded uS.
Mr.. Dalton. we have seen lots of just
such animals as you are. They are
the kind that want to horn everything
out of the stOckyards that fails to
agree with them. 1t takes a good de-
horning to settle them and that's what
you are about to get. About all you
are doing now Is to yell ''37 cents and
"when yu are sick you need a DOCTOR
We will bet our ears that If stranger
should ride up to your home and ask
who lived there you would yell "31
cents" and if he should ask the way to
the Dalton bridge you would yell
when you are sick you need doctor.
You say you are surprised that we
have turned out to be preacher. That
is alright for the ministry is the nobl-
est of callings. You came near preach
ing some yourself few weeks ago
when you stampeded our partner and
words that was calculated to make a
deceased college professor turn over in
his grave. You told him you were
proud that he had made a change and
exhorted him to keep on i'm the straight
and narrow way. Some preaching, eh?
| The reason il sounded so good to you
then was that you happened to be the
preacher. But we are doing the preach
ing now and you are on the m0urner's
bench In your last article you said
boo hoo, oh SnOut Shout We are
gaining ground" You are beginning
to see the light Look out for the bap-
tising the first of May" The sort OF
doctor we need now is those old pioneer
men and women who have lived to
see their posterity and the younger
generation sinking hopelessly in debt
Through pride and extravigance. God
bless the old grey haired fathers and
mothers The few that have been
spared us know more about making
living than all of the younger genera
tiOn and all of the county agents
thrown in for good measure. And now
Dalton, the point we have been trying
to make is this: If the county agent
or anyone else should give the farmer
advice that calls for money to carry it
out, what is it worth? Simply nothing.
for the farmer has no money to spend
that way and cannot get it. See the
point? Now we believe that neither
of us is getting anywhere in this little
discussion. We don't believe that Dal-
ton believes much of what we say and
we feel sure that nobody believest any
of his argument. We never would have
kicked if we hadn't been spurred. In
other words he tried to twist our nose
and cram his dope down our throat
but he has not done it yet. However,
we are not worrying one bit over the
county agent business. If that was all
we had to worry about we would be
one of the happiest men on earth and
we would perhaps shout all over Warm
Corner In less than twenty four hours
and that would be going some. This
may be our last, written in spirit of
fun. SO good by, Dalton. And luck to
you and your Leghorn hens
