COUNTY LINE.
After a month’s absence, we again
knock at your door for admittance.
Were we to say we enjoyed our
stay at Hoechton, the half would
not be told. It sure was a swell
hurrah for Hosehton, with Carl
Hudgins as mayor and leading mer
chant. Should we ever turn loose
the plow handles and leave our
country home we would tip our
beaver and ask for a place* within
j her borders, though they may be
glad the carnival is over and Santa
Claus is gone. No fool no fun, so
we guess there is no fun going on
now.
The old year has passed and gone
only to be remembered in history,
and it has left many of us poor
fellows in a worse fix than it found
us. About all the cotton is sold
and money is gone. Some debts
havej>een paid and some haven’t,
so it is woe be unto us who expect
ed a high price tor cotton and
didn’t get it. It certainly would
have been better for us, had we
known these things in time to have
shaped the buckle to meet the
tongue. But alas, alas, too late.
There has been a lot of marrying
and joining in marriage going on
in this section for the last few
weeks and to all of them we would
say peace be unto you. However
not only from observation, but from
experience we will inform voujhcre
is a road not far distant in the
future over which you must travel
that is rough and rugged and very
hilly. How well do we remember
the days of the honeymoon. Like
two doves we cooed and played to
gether. Happv, yes! We felt as
though we could shout and sing for
a thousand years —would not have
swapped for the gold of Croesus or
the cattle of a thousand hills. But
since then our family has increased
year by year till about a half a
dozen are crying for food and rai
ment. And we are not dead yet,
and don’t expect to die as long as
we can live. Our aim is to do aIH
the good we can and as little harya
as possible, scare up every nest of
fun we can find, try to get our
share of pleasures and plenty, meet
every)>ody we are not mad at with a
smile, cheer up the young and old
if we can, always push up and never
pull down, try to add to and never
take from.
A jolly good time on earth we'll
have if we can,
And then share in the bounties of
the beautiful land.
