I will try to fulfil my but as you want news, this letter will necessarily he short. I find myself occasionally going over the red hills of Putnam in spite of myself, and in truth, if it were not for j,our imagination, life would hardly he worth the living —a dead waste of barren facts in the present, with no connection or future: Rut as wo are, we can hoi(1 conVerse wilb the loved of oUer duyS) all(1 luJk Wi tli God about t i_, e tf.ings in the unrevealed future and fuel our selves ennobled because <,{' the past, and richer because of the^future. At least so it is v.-itli and because of it, 1 can enjoy the associations of old Putnam when I wi 1. As I am no longer of Put uam, 1 want to say soimiiiing about Jasper, not Pulliam less, but Jas per more. Rich in Agricultural re and with a progressive peo her future promises to be a one- Her hopjo indusiries are increasing, and at the present, . subscriptions are being made for | the purpose <d‘* erecting^" works for j tlie mutiufacturitt ;4 0 T furniture, axe |, ul( j ] loe lo-. plow stocks, hubs, j spokos, runs &c , and her woods nbounding in the best of material suited for these pnrpcg s, of course H w n, succeed. Theso works will be h eated in Montmello, and Hearn & Greene of Datonton need not then ship their wood from so great a distance as now * as Gutnaiu can then draw upon Ja l )0r - Indeed, Floyd, the Piedmont Exposition pet, .is indebted to Jasper, for it was here in Monticeilo that Shorter laic! the foundation ol (hat fortune with which he built Shorter (Allege, one of Rome’s great t . nl , e >pri-es, and if I had time t0 gather up the facts. I could show t!iat j„ lhe „ c t work of things, Jas per is no little thread, It was here Uislioj, Pierce, the grandad of pulpit oratory begun IDs pupil career, Jaspei’s air ifts in it an ins]>iration, and, when the common of our land receive the at tention they deserve from the legis lature, I predict that Irom the hill aml vallies of Jasper will come many the leaders of the future. Some ot tons best business men are boys, and her young men are ou this side of the line hunting for the lost rib. In conclusion, but you need not say anything about it, one of your huge, lie,ivy but manly young fel lows, who was recently over here, was so captivated queenly maidens with the beauty * of that le lost consciousness so far as to fall his buggy into a briar patch as be drove oil' from the church for Putnam.
