A piece of poetry by a banner's
wife of our community
My old mar. came from town the
other day, . .
’As aad as a man could be;
Wagon empty and his cotton all gone'
And not a dime had he.
It is queer Ido declare—to make the
clothes for all the world.
Yet not have enough to wear.
Mr. Dupree Evans 23 not improv
ing very much from the water bound,
blues he has had for some time but
hopes it may soon quit raining and
let the streams run down. We will
call no names but there are others
in this section mud bound on ac
count of the newly worked roads.
