Died on the last day of the past
month, and since that time it is
impossible to tell you how I’ve
missed her. She was a bird, but
had more sense and feeling than
a good many people I know. 1

is just best to say, Polly, my
most intimate chum, is dead.

When Sheriff Tanner called off
the names of the colored boys
who were going to Camp Gor
don last week, one of them an
swered, and said he was a Ger
man Special and that he was go
ing after the Kaiser. When the
names were called the Sheriff
told them that they must remem
ber that this going to the army
was a serious thing, that they
must be faithful and patriotic,
and study in camp, for if they
cameb ack hero he would catch
them and it would go hard with
them. That little talk did them
good and they will remember it.
Well, it is hard to tell what the
war is going to do before it is
over. Everything to eat and
wear is out of sight, ( but then
the hens down at my house are
on a strike.- Throe of them lay
on eday and three the next, and
they are so economical that they
all use the same nest and one
hen does all the cackling. The
old rooster used to cackle and
cluck all day, but now, when a
hen lays and flies ofi the nest he
clucks once or twice and goes
under the house out of danger.
A preacher, over at Quitman,
has gone wrong. He objected

other food conservation which
the government suggested, say
ing the government had nothing
to do with what a man ate or
done, and made some other ob
servations that did not show pa
triotism, and which was not rel
ished by peorle. He will
be requested to leave, and as ho
cannot conform to the laws and
rules of this country, it is
thought he should go to some
other.
