home to us. We are always glad'
to have it spread on our table at.
night, and proceed to sift it's
contents thinking it will have np
uncertain sound. If you do not
have room in your paper Just
make the best of it you can.
Lee has just come in with the
Sentinel. Let her come, she
will always find room under our
roof. ,
Now gentlemen you must not
hold me to account on punctua
tion, spelling or composition, for
I have been out of school for
some time. I might do like the
negro who found the word "pro
orastination" said ho was gwine
to preach on that word, because
it was the principle doctrine of
the Presbyterian Church.
I am looking for an easy place
where there is not much to do,
but have not found it yet. May
have to move again. We are on
a beautiful street, the finest
drive about town. We have a
stepping pony. I call him Gun
powder and Ford, half and half.
Use no crank or gasoline, and a
selfstarter. He can trot a coun
ty fair gait four miles then gnaw
the fence and champ the bit like
Old Nick had hold of it
I have not seen Ned Gaijbreath
for some time. Would liKe to
see him. I think I will ,gad a
bout some when the weather
gets good. Plenty of homefolks
at Castalian Springs, Lon Should
ers, Norman Johnson, Jeff Lee
and others.
With best wishes for you all, I
remain,
Sincerely your?s.
Byrd Anderson.
