MINGO ITEMS. |
The rains have come and the streams !
are overflowing. The timber men are|
working day and night, "
Mr. iJ. T. Holland made a business |
trip to Dublin Wednesday. {
. We have had a protracted squirrel |
hunt in Mingo for three weeks. ‘
1. O. Hall passed through Frog Val- |
ley last week looking after timber, |
Mr. J. P. Thompson is having his‘
house painted. We need not be sur
prised at what a widower does, i
I am glad the president has plan- |
ned to help Wall street. Perhaps I
can collect enough mow to pay my!
taxes, :
1 spent a day in Laurens county
recently. 1 find they have cotton and!
geandidates in the field and are begin-;
ning to agitate, but we are in a stag-|
nated condition, except high taxes;!
they are making some of us agitate,!
but I think our commissioners did%
right; if we were in debt to raise
the tax and get us out, for it is said
you had as well be tangled up with!
the devil as debt. I don’t know which |
is the worst. I have been troubled
™ with boih, but hope to be troubled less
in the future. Il
Was sorry for the girl that had not‘i
sprouted mustache when he bade the\
girl goodnight and got in his buggyy
and behold! his horse was gone. I
know he boohooed and said he wished
he was home with his dearrmamma, -
1 feel more cheerful after Thanks
giving. I heard of so many good things
to eat all around and got a little bite
: mfielf.
Oh! I wish Thanksgiving could al
ways last.
" It don’t look like a fellow should ever
fast
With things all around so nice and
neat
And plenty of baked turkey and cak?
to eat; :
The young people enjoying their taiks
of love,
And the old people praising Jehovah
above;
But unseen troubles may soon appear
To vanish our pleasures and good
cheer;
For it is just like earthly life
To have pleasures today and tomorrow
strife, -
So let us strive to reach that blessed
shore,
Where true joys abound evermore,
UNCLE JAKE.
