I realize that 1 am not as
young as I use to be and 1 don’t
look near as prefcy as 1 did when
I use to attend Sunday School 1
at Center Valley.
My health has been bad for
the last six weeks, so you could
not expect me to look very well ;
I am getting some better now.
1 have just returned from Ter¬
rell Texas, wnere 1 took up 200
bales of cotton and 1 had to deal
with some people that wanted all
that was coming to thorn, While
I w-as wilting to give'them that;
but we could not agree on the
grade But finally we did agree.
So I come home feeling as tired
as if I bad been to a log rolling.
NO. 24.
We have been having some
good rains around Greenville for
tne last few days. Crops are
looking well. I never saw cot¬
ton doing better. Everybody is
looking hopeful and I am very
hopeful that nothing will happen
to keep me from being able to
leave here the 1st, Sunday in
July, bound for my old home in
Georgia.
[On account of Mr. Henley’s
letter not reaching us, until al¬
most time of going to press, we
are unable to publish it in full
this week. The balance of it
will appear next week. Ed.] |@
