they were not Christians, hut since
then they have been faithful and true,
visit from her best fellow last feunday,
visit frmo her best fellow last Sunday,

dog wood and sweet gum bark and
spit a mouthful in her eyes, she’ll be
well.
Leonard Christopher and good old
“Slim Jim” Darley are on the joo
again this week, and are making good.
Besides getting cut the Enterprise

Nola and Lottie Meeks, my two
pretty chums came to see me last Mon
day and brought Mis«es Lizzie and
Essie May Davis, of Savannah, with
(them. They are on a visit to them
for a short while, and I hope they’ll
have a nice time.
If it isn’t asking too much I would
like to know who that fellow is that
has been flying arqund Bessie Kight,
for the past three Sundays? Nice
(fellow, all right, but how does that
girl manage to pick out a new, nice
(one, all the time?
W. W. Lord, at Ambrose, wrote me
a postal last week, and wanted to
(know “why I couldn’t send his paper,

comes first, and the girls all the time.
Rocher Chappel must be going off
soon, and hates to leave a certain girl.
This is what he is singing, this week

given him a bad case af palpitation
of the heart.
Twenty-three years ago, I knew'
twin sisters, near Hortense, then 4
years old, daughters of Dilworth Mid

railroad had not got there. Come to
think about it I’ve been here a few
days. •>. AJ* * '
I met Miss Nellie Smith, at Hor
tense, last Sunday. She was a stu
dent at the Nicholls High School
when I met her a year ago, and I was
glad to see her. She lives at Need
more Ga., and those who are intimate
ly acquainted with her says she is a
mighty nice girl, and that’s my private
opinion publicly expressed.
Our old friend, Dilworth Middle
ton, of Hortense, Wayne county, died
about three weeks ago, but I did not
know it until 1 met his daughter and
nephew last Sunday. He was a good
man, and a faithful member of Par
ker’s Christian Worker’s Association
One by one the old guard are dropping
cut, and in a short time now, all of
them will have gone over.
Bessie, Ada and Arlie Burkett,
promised, when last 1 saw them, to
write me the news once a week. 1
would hate to have to tell what I think
of grls that won’t write to a fellow
when they promise, girls are like fleas
you can never locate them, and when
you put your finger on her she’s not
there. And what I’m talking about,
is, they are nearly all the same.
Frank and Bud Lindsey, two broth
ers, are after two sisters, Mary and
Abbie Powell, and were there, Sunday.
Mr. Powell says he hopes they’ll hurry
up and do something, as he’s tired of
feeding two at a time. And it looks
like i’m going to get a job over there
soon tieing up two girls and two
boys at a time. Dog gone, my fees
will be $5.00. Go it boys, hurry up,
girls.
O. W. Griffin, on Rfa. 1, sent me
I by mail, last Tuesday morning, a full,
open boll of short cotton. He says
there is 60 acres of fine cotton, from
which this boll wi.s taken, and that a
good deal of it is opening. He thinks
he will begin picking cotton next week.
Corn is fine and he expects to “make
enough syrup to supply me for the
next year.” Did you happen to notice
that quotation.
Melvina Strickland, at Waresboro,
says, on a card: “1 ha\e a book in

may come just as soon as I ca find that
old quinine bottle.
What you reckon Ellen Smith, at
Sessoms, will think when she learns
that I was on the platform at that
place half an hour last Sunday?
She is always saying what dreadful
things she is going to do to me some
times, and I was right there and could
have slipped up on her, thrown a bag
over her head and carried her off be
bore .ghe could squeal. I bet now,
after she reads this,' she’ll look under
the bed every night before she goes
to bed to see if I an. under there.
Ellen, Smith, derwn at Sessoms, says
she will be in my office some time
soon and is going to ramble through
my desk until she finds and reads
every letter from my girls that can
be found. .Now, you see that girl is
rubbing the hair the wrong way, for I
never let any one see those letters,
and if she fools with me I’ll shove
her in the big draw in my desk and
lock her up. Them I’ll have a gal
close to me all the time, and I’ll feed
her on sardines and crackers. Come
on, Ellen.
Prof. H. L. Adams, who has just
finished up a sucessful ten days term
of a singing school at Sunny Side,
was in town Monday. He informs us
that he will commence a ten days
term at Lumber City next Monday,
and will also teach a term of ten days
at Wesley Chapel on the 3rd Monday.
Prof. Adams is a nice, clean boy, and
I am glad to hear of his success, and
some of his reasons are that he does
not indulge in profanity, use tobacco
in any form and knows music. I am
not in the habit of writing free puffs,
but this young gentleman deserves
it.
Doliie Freeman is going home with
Ruth Mills, who lives up here about
Lyons, to-morrow. She is to be gone
an indefinite time, if Mr. and Mrs.
Mills will keep her that long. I
tried to get Ruth to leave me a lock
of her hair, or one of her front teeth,
as a keep-sake, but she wouldn’t.
However, the print cf the toe of her
shoe on my right shin remains, and
I’ll remember her as one of the nicest
little girls I ever kitew and I hope
she will come again some time, bring
her knitting and remain all day for
about a month, and we’ll clean up all
of the peach pie, peas and hash.
Bill Hursey, of Broxton, C. E. Por
ter, Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell Brice, of
this place, were at Zirkle last Sunday.
There was a big sing there, several
classes, and between 250 and 300 peo
ple present, many of them Sunday
school pupils and teachers. Messrs
Passmore, Davis and others, with the
assistance of the good ladies of that
place had furnished entertainment and
one of the best dinners on record for
500 people. Mitchell and Maggie
Brice ate so much w’hile they were
there that they slept all the way back
home. I hate to tell it on ’em, but
I can prove it by Doctor Ricketson.
Dr. Ricketson, of Broxton, last Sun
day, said that if the continued rains
of the past month had not cut the
corn and cotton crops short the people
in this country would have made more
than they could have gathered, as in
some localities labor is hard to control,
especially is this time, of Broxton,
since the removal of the big saw mill,
for, while the negro men worked at
the mill, there were always a good
many women and children that could
be hired for farm labor. Dr. Ricket
son is good authority on most subjects
and his opinions are sustained by
others, for the prospects for a bumper
crop were never better in this sec
tion.
Minnie Mosley, of Osierfield, says
she and two more of her girl friends,
were on the train Sunday morning,
aw me, “and made it up in their minds
that they were going in bathing with
me, but when they arrived at St.
Simons they, or her father could not
find me.” Certainly not, I saw them,
and got off the train at Hortense, I
never went in washing with girls in
my life when they didn’t want to
duck me, and if there were two or
three of them they came mighty near
doing it too. I have not forgotten
| those two girls that tripped me up
at St. Simons some time ago and sat
down on my back to keep me under the
water. Doggone some of these girls
anyhow.
Roxie Purvis, over here close to
Lax, on Willacoochee Rfd. 1, wrote to
me last Monday. She is living- with
'her grand parentis, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob
li’urvis. I take it, but she does not
I pay so, that she is an orphan, and she
| could not be in better hands. I have
J/known Jacob Purvis a long time, as

signs herself, “Yours lovingly, Roxie.”
Oh. me; when a girl writes me a nice,
sweet letter about three pages long,
and then signs herself, “Yours loving
ly,” 1 feel like I ought to have her
close at hand, pull her pretty hear
down cn my shoulder, pat it lightly,
