My long ride did net tire me a great deal; I was feeling fine and went to hard down work buying goods. I have bought some of the best values for the least money, I have ever seen. Am having the goods ship ped out as fast as I buy them and when you have opened them up and looked them over, I’m sure you will say they are the best yoi* have ever seen for the money. Tell our friends and customers to be sure to wait and look over otir stock before making their fall and winter purchases. I find that I am buying goods a great deal cheaper than I could a few weeks ago. We can save our cus tomers at least 25 per cent more than others do, who do not visit the eastern markets, but buy from drummers. We save our customers the 4 4 middle man’s” profit, a great saving. Sell all the goods you can while I am away, in order to make room for the good things I am buying. Don’t forget to tell all our customers that we will have a store full of great bargains for them this fall and winter, and we cordially invite them to call and look our stock over before buying.

In my letter where I mention ed about the public school fund and its distribution, I only wish for some one who is in that pos sition to know, to “explain through some paper so the peo ple might know. I have a letter from a teacher who says that he wishes to disabuse my mind of the mistaken idea I have of Capt. Maclean’s system of dis posing of the school fund. Its not so much what I think, as what others think, that I want ed explained. I have been told years ago that it was to keep the negro from getting what the law says is his. If it is wrong for the negro to have so much why not change the law. I think there has been bills introduced in the legislature to divide the fund in proportion to the tax which the whites and blacks pay. I was in Mr. Maclean’s office last win ter, and there was a young man there who wanted to know what the school at Meigs would pay. He had accepted the school and it was right, from my standpoint, that be should know what it payed; but he didn’t find out. I might tell later why Capt. Maclean didn’t tell him. Mr. W. M. Prince has been visiting his brother at Jakin since our last letter. Rev. H. P. Stubbs filled his regular appointment at Wood land Saturday. Rev. . L. M. Sutton preached on Sunday. Mr. J.
