Congress convened in ex¬

'is to be hoped that they will
do something more than sim¬
ply draw their pat for their
attendance.
Elliiay has already taken
steps to build another school

The Cubans have threat¬
ened to burn all Spanish offi

'of the’cruelty the
officers toward the women of

Gary has an noticed that all
post-masters; \yill be allowed
to serve out their four years
as for hcretoforugthey some ■Kense are or

be of interest to all Southern

One of the staff of General

to escape with them, yi

If any inded was needed to

over at his house in the peavine settlement
Saturday night Ale an Sally, an Jim an
Huldy went from our naboihcod. lie’s
got, three girls at home now and they think
tlrnyre awful pretty. I tell you they was
lots of them there too. They had the preach
er at Potsam Trot elu/iel/ and all the
churches around to give, it out the Sunday
brfere When we went to pgll wo had to

ShyW'ks youngest girl, Jane, an Sally got
liidboy, Dick. Janes .sorter crosseyed an
not a bit putty, And Iiieks not much better
I thought Sally wou d die a shlggerin at
me an Jane. Dick looked like Urn! done
sim.il,in ho ortht to. But I went an had a
heap of fun, if Sally was a rniggerin at me
all the time. When we went to start home
it was after 12 oeloek. Sally made out like
she was so mud sho couhlnt hardly see.
She vvouhlnt speak to me for a long time.
But as we was a coiuiu on hack down pea
vine ridge the loekehain broke an 1 thought
we was gone. The girls commenced holler
in an that sheered themules an III tell you
nobody ever come down that ridge, before
ss fast as we did. The runaway never cost
us nuthin but a good joltin. Well it was
aft. r two oeloek when we got home.—l
