up.

Dear Editor :
Will you please print this for me
to married men who write to girls

They tell us we need some better
clothes, some neck ties, some sleeve
holders, a John B. Stetson hfp, a
tooth pick pair of shoes and a very
fine aeroplane, but whet is bother¬
ing us the most is where we are
going to get our next meal. We
con not live on hoLair, but it takes
bread and butter, plenty of sow
sides, tome warm coffee highly
flavored with sugar, tome hen frtlit
and this balanced by some of the
proteins such as cheese, beans and
peanuts.
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Thurmond
and John, the Russian, have been
spending a few days in th*» sec'ioti.
Mr. and Mrs. Lawson spent lust
Saturday with their son here.
The cool nights and dry
have taken up the moisture out of
the ground very fast and we are
now needing some more rnin. VV*e
are hoping that dog days will set
in rainy if they do we are more
than apt to have plenty of rain for
forty days. It lias been several
years since these days have been
rainy. From now on a shower
every day or two would not hurt
upland vegetation. We believe
this season will be favorable for
growing crops and trust u dry sea¬
son like the last two years will not
be repented this time. The crops
have been well fertilized well culti¬
vated and all that now is needed is
plenty of moisture.
In 1848 they made a rush for the
gold field* of California. Some
feared the lion in his den. Some
like Jonah, went almost into
whale’s mouth and others risked
being devoured by the wolves of
the lone prairies all for the sake of
a little gold. California wa6 rich
but not so much in gold at in her
agricultural possibilities as they
afterwards foond out. De Soto
and others were attracted to this
section by the stoties of rich gold
treasures but her diamond mines
lay in her farming interest. We
have been chasing rainbows and
shadows all of our lives for the
honey bond and the flitter tree in
its midst is always a days journey
ahead. We had just as well let
down our buckets where we are
and draw from nature the sparkling
waters. The slogan used to be:
••Young man go West,” but now
is: “Young man stay where you
are.”
We are always sorry to hear of
the murder cases such as this coun¬
ty recently witnessed. It is not so
bad on the ones engaged as on the
ones who are dependent upon them.
The human lives are becoming ver>
cheap by some. Peter who fell sO
many times and it looked like he
did not have much of the real arti¬
cle but the Word said he cut off
the high priest’s ear but the Great
Teacher healed it. He told Peter
to put up his sword for they who
lived by the sword must die by it.
So some of us start out with a pis¬
tol in our pocket, a chip on our
heads and making dare marks all
for the purpose of defending our
beautiful characters. But they
suddenly meet up with some hero
from the battle of Gettisburg who
has courage to tell them they have
no characters to defend and that
they had better sweep around their
doors first.
The old yellow cat has suddeuly
