i By J M. Freeman and the Baby Coming to the Fair. .You remember in 1913 I wrote about John, Bettie and the baby? Of course, you do? And you know the last time I wrote anything about them 1 told you that they had gone to a home they had bought over in Jeff Davis county? Certainly you rem ember all about it. Well, I met John here in town last Saturday and he is a different man now, looks different, smiles at you and shakes hands dif ferently. “Hello, Unde Jim,” he said, “Hello, John,” was my answer, and he was gone. H e was dressed nicely, face all clean and smiling. I tried to catch up wth him, to ask about Bettie and the baby, but couldn’t and so I went on down to my office, sat down and wondered why John hadn’t brought them with him. I hat’. ’t seen them since last Christ mas, and did want •' sc F. • bad. So I was sitti ; in my < ”• ■ down at the house on Sunday morning when 1 heard the front gate slam, some one was in the hall, and I heard Bettie’s voice. I couldn’t hardly wait for her to come to me, (it was just like one of the children coming home) in a moment she was standing by me, her pretty eyes looking down at me, while she talked like one of the girls telling me about what had happened snee she saw me iast. I couldn’t get her to sit down. She was just like John, looked so happy and when she talked it seemed that her heart was almost in her pretty throat, as she told me what a dear old John was, and what a good girl the baby was. Oh. Bettie was happy.,l could almost see tears of joy in her eyes, and see ing her soh happy made me have to take off my glasses and wipe a tear aside. Sh ( . went away Sunday morn ing, wouldn’t miss going for anything, because John would be at the depot. She carried a hat and and a dress home for th e baby and John and Bet tie and the baby and John are coming to the Fair. God bless ’em. —There is rejoicing and lamenta tion in the land. —Buelah Puris and Mary L. Mead ows were in town Saturday. —Lucena Spivey says her father is some better. I am glad to hear it. —We would be thankful if the girls or boys at school would write us a postal every week. —Gussie and Cadie have not sent me word that they had kicked me, but they have, all the same. —The best man is not always elect- ’795 ’795 IU.— o-b-T.Ud. „ w „ Luxurious Bigness! A big roomy car is luxurious —no two ways about it. But extra inches in an automobile cost hun dreds of dollars —as a rule. It took an investment of millions in facilities for tremendously increased production — tTo effect the economies necessary to produce luxurious size at this price. The wheelbase is 112 inches —• • ed. Money and whiskey is a powerful factor in elections, but it did not elect as good a man as Wilson. —Georgia Wilcox, down on McDon ald, Rfd., says she is coming to the I Fair. And she says besides, that to ! morrow, 12th, is preaching day at Stokesville. —My little chum, at Quitman, Erie Passmore, writes me that she is go ing to school, learning music and having a nice time. I am glad to hear from her. —And you know that many farmers I ( will plant too much cotton next year on the strength of having received good prices this fall, and the price will go down. —Ada Tanner and Mary Sears were j in town one day last week and want led me to go down somewhere to a leap year party. Guess they thought I might find a job of “tying ’em up.” —The next big to-do will be Rob inson’s show and the Fair. Robin son’s shows are always good. And our old friends who have no children must borrow one as an excuse to come and see the animals. —Bill Right was in town one day Fast week, lost his pretty daughter ! for a while, and accused me of hiding | her somewhere. Besides two or three | young fellows here in town wanted !to know “who was the pretty girl j dressed in brown?” —George Right and O. A.

He spells | the nam e of his Country Kracker Club with only one “K.” Every word is 'spelled rightfully with a “C” and the words at both ends ought to be spelled i with a “K,” as well as One in the ! middle, thus Kuntry Kracker Klub. • —Pretty good evidence comes from ' the farmers of Alabama that partrid |ges and boll weavils are not friends. lln the boll weavil infected districts of Alabama, comes the story that partridges have been caught, and after examination their craws were found to be full of boll weavils. The far mers are posting their lands against tresspassers, hunters who come out from towns in car loads to kill par tridges, and Coffee county farmers should do the same. Droves of geese in the spring time keep grass out of cotton and the partridges will do the same for the bollw eavil. —Martha Nobles, writing from W. L.
