Mr. Editor. - —Since writing
my last letter I have been right
sick and am scarcely able to sit
up today, but I hope the worst
is"over. I came near having a
serious case of pneumonia caus¬
ed by fighting fire some time
ago when I came so near getting
everything burned. People
should always bear in mind and
cake time to put on their full
dress before trying to fight fire
whenever they have time to. It
puts them in better shape to
work and also protects them
from taking cold.
On Thursday night of last
week Mrs. L. ,T. Joiner had the
misfortune to lose her barn with
all its contents except
twenty-five bushels of corn which
was saved by the heroic work
the neighbors -both white and
colored who went to the assis¬
tance. When the fire was first
discovered, the top was nearly
ready to fall in. One of Mrs.
Joiner’s horses broke out of his
stall. When Mr. Clifford Stam¬
per reached the lot the
horse was burning so bad until
she was on her knees, but Mr.
Stamper risked his life in the
flames to save the little pet mare.
The top of her stall was falling
in when he drove her out. Mrs.
Joiner is a widow woman with a
family of four girls and since the
death of her husband, Mr. Hil¬
liard Joiner, nearly four years
ago she has managed her farm
remarkably well, making plenty
of meat and corn for her farm
and some to sell. Now friends,
Mrs. Joiner is not begging for
help neither am I begging for
her. I only take this method of
reminding the good people of our
county where they could do a
good work with a few bushels of
corn or a dollar go and carry it
to her as she has no boy to send
after it.
Would not it be nice if we
could always have a lot of candi¬
dates, it makes people so friend¬
ly
