BY letter received from Rev. ]
L. Nuzum of Mohawk Village, whom
many of the older residents will re
member as former minister OF
| Morgan county, we learn the family
is well-that he has held eight and
one-half weeks of. meetings; that
| he wants to come to Meigs some ev-
ening. He asks about Aunt Sarah
Ann, and says Come on with the
letters, this is country of free
press and free speech, so come on
with the goods. l will take all that
! belongs to me. / was taught not to
steal, SO will try not to take any
thing that does not belong to me.
You see a fight is better than moth
ing, so keep your county alive by
writing the things we dislike, as
well as the things we like" He
also remarks that if he had a few
of McKendree folks he could take
that country for God Watch for
date of his coming to Meigs. For
the benefit of the Reverend, we
might say that Aunt Sarah has
been going into the office, perhaps
on into the waste basket.
