Just from the Mountains.
* The fodder crop will be short
this time owing to unfuforable
weather. In fact, there has not
been but little pulled. They have
topped the corn and pushed off a
little storm beaten stuff.
There was a slight frost here last
week. ’I here was a little to be
seen on the top rail of the old rot¬
ten fences. Some used to think
tha that dew fell. Frost is frozen
dew. On a still clear night the
vapor is chilled and settles on the
earth. Frost kills the lilies and
brings the roses in our cheeks. It
does not come like the blustering
train but on the next morning the
aching of the toes and fingers and
the clicking of glass tells that Jack
has been here, Frost fears the sun¬
shine and there is little to be seen
on the top of the mountains for it
is above the frost line. James
Whitcomb Riley told of the frost
on the pumpkin and the corn in
the shuck. You remember on n
frosty morning when you went to
hold the calf while the milking was
done on a cold November morn.
You only got one pair shoes a year
and they were the brogran or the
poker kind with u small brass cap
on the toe. After you had had a
tussle with that calf at d it had
hurt your pet corn you turned it
loose- You stood where the old
cow lay the night beforejto warm
your frozen feet while the calf with
rolling eyes gathered its food from
that great source of nature. But
limes have changed, we are gradu¬
ally getting awuy from nature
Nearly all thing now are fed from

old told them to bring up a child
in the way lie should go ana when
,he is old he wouldn’t depart from
at.
Messrs Allan and Floyd Mnuney
and Frank Turner had the most in¬
teresting fox race here last Satur
day night that has been in several
moons. A pack of Walker hounds
with one taking the lend and all
the others following in unison is
great music to a fox hunter. 1 he

Granny Smith says she and Dad

Ilello! thor friends. As you
have been having a good rest may¬
be you can stand some more bad
medicine by now. Jo here it is:
Just take what you think you cvm
stand of this concoction. ' If it
doesn’t hurt you you -will know
that you are immune, so then by
proper dieting you will be safe to
take some of the next.
No news down this way ; been
raining but that is nothing | new ;
some weddings,but folks have been
marrying a right smart; cotton is
injured some,so they say, but that’s
not so bad—it will be torn all to
pieces before anything can be made
from it; the roads are bad in some
places, but there are lot of bad peo¬
ple traveling the roads, so that fits
up all right. Oh! good gosh,
there’s nothing the matter nohow.
Some people ride these days to
save their soles. It looks like some
would ride even if they lost their
souls.
Looks like some people get a
great kick out of complaining, but
it’s not much of a stimulant to
those who hear it.
Say, had you noticed these little
contraptions people are playing
with they call : Yo Yoes? Well,
God pity us all!
George Washington was an honest
land,
Wouldn’t tell a lie, No, No!

But no mention made of a YoYo
Well, if nothing happens we
aim to try. to be more regu*a> in
our writing from now on than We
have been. We had been waiting
i long time for something to hap¬
pen, and it failed to happen, and
is we had not written anything in
so long we sorter forgot how to
sign our name. If anything should
happen any ways soon we will
make some sort of a noise so that
lyou will know Unit something is
coining off.
