i-—« WEBSTER COUNTY. Oak Him., Dec. 9,1883. "Times are dull in Weoster, and most of our people arc down in the moutli. As for my old friend wbo wants to know wlint lias become of me, I will say that I have been on n boom the past live weeks,hauling lumber -and splitting rails. I have had .about 16,000 rails split in the short time of lour weeks and have put up a house 32x25 feet, and have had no time to write you. lint I will try ami make up all lost time. To my old friend, “Subscriber," in Texas, I 4 will try and encourage him all I can. I think he is too much like myself—has too many corners to look after to be a regular correspondent. His letter brought up the good old limes before the war, when with gun and dogs wc made it lively for rabbits,squirrels and possums. .Old friend, I would be glad to read a letter from you MONEY!
