Kramer, Ga., May 26 —Edit>- or Courier: Having a little leisure time at my coin maud, I thought I would write a few lines for your valuable paper from this section of the state. The weather is very dry down here; we are needing rain bad ly, crops are suffering and gar den truck is burning up. The Gress Lumber Co., is do ing a large business at present They are considerably behind with orders and the mill is being run to its full capacity. The postmaster received a postal card yesterday from Eng land addressed to ‘‘Lord Beres ford/’ on the .opposite side it contained this short message : “Are you still alive?” It was not iigned but bore a mysterious mark. a t the bottom it says: * P. M., If he is not there please forward to his last address. ” Tie postmaster sent it to City of Mexico, as that was the last place he was heard from. Col. and Mrs. G. V. Gress left today for Atlanta, where they will reside during the summer. Mr. Morgan Gress is now lo cated in New York. He is run ning the office of the Duplex Phonograph Co., of which Mr. G. V. Gress is president. War is all the talk down here now. Politics is seldom men tioned, but Col. Gaudier will carry this (Wilcox) county by a good majority. Yours faithfully, D, S.
