Well, mighty good friends, we
don't live where we do now tor we
done gone and moved, you see it is
sorter this wav : We picked out a
verv nice house, one of these here
sort of houses these here sort of
houses that has door shutters and
glass windows and door steps and
a front porch and a left and you
get in that or loft by stepping on a
board a little higher than the floor
and then stepping on another board
higher than the first one and so on,
and that thing you climb to get in
to the loft is what folks call stair
steps. Oh! golly its a bumping
big house. Nothing lacking about
except lightning rods and and |un
her rods. But that’s all right it
hasn’t been thundering or lightning
since we’ve been there, and we
couldn't have used them if we had
had them. W ell, anyway we got
six tire places and no wood, and
there has been some awful cold
weather right here lately. Even
the house cat came near freezing,
and would have frozen if we had
not had some forethought about
him. YVe noticed he had four
pods of red pepper with the ends
cut off and was using them for
boots. Some smart cat, eh? And
besides all this, we noticed Mr.
Frank EardtiV, of Cleveland, com¬
ing through Clermont the other day
m Ills way to Augusta. Think
Frank was going farther south to
find some air that was thawed to
put in truck tires. U'e noticed one
fellow passing through that had
pumped up his casing with frozen
air and tiie rubber bad all worn off
and had solid ice wheels. Now,
-Dine people may think that not a
lie but it is. ll there happens to
come any sort of weather any ways
