Mr. Editor.— A short Jctter from

class, and many well to do farmers.
We have an excellent Methodist
church, large membership aud fine
Sunday’ School, and taken all to

ly number of bright pupils. The
young people have organized a read
iog and social elub which has prov
en a success, both socially and in
tellectually. We welcome the
Headlight as an old friend, love to
read it especially the letters. By
the by, why don’t your often, scribe from

my friend Jessee Miller, who was

him, and others too numerous to
mention. Our county, Baldwin,
went “dry” in late election to the
delight of a good many people.
Will close by wishing the Headlight
much success, as we feel an interest
in it, (aside from other

Supplementing the above with a

Some three hundred persons
