WINDHAM, MONTANA
Dear Editor: Here I come again, so
please don't let this find its way to
the waste basket. Mama, Birchie and
started from Decatur, Ala., Sunday
morning, July 5, at 6 o'clock, and got
to Windham Thursday, the 9th. We
slipped in on papa.' He was helping
shear sheep. We are all out in a grad
ing camp, and like it out here fine. .We
live in a nice house of four rooms,
cook and eat in a tent. Mama and
Birchie have six men to cook for, and
get $40 per month. I will go to town
the first of September and go to school
Grandpa, did you get back home be
fore dark that night. We all stayed
at Aunt Belle's in Decatur Saturday.
Cousin Ada Palk, mama never got
your letter before she left Alice, your
letter was fine. Naomi Lee, Birchie
says howdy. She remembers you as a
schoolmate.
Aunt Mary and Cousin Vista we all
landed safe after our long journey and
found papa well. Mandie Gipson.
FORT SMITH, ARKANSAS
Dear Editor: This has been the
hottest summer here in years. We had
no rain in June. We had three rainy
days this month, but are needing rain
again. We can hardly get a good
breath today. -
I will go back to my young days. I
first married Nancy Maylisse Penning
ton of White county in 1866, and she
died in 1872. Then I married Marget
Garland of White county, and she died
in February, 1913. 'Then I married
Mrs.- Roxie Adams of NorthCarolina
in June, 1913. I have seen lot sof ups
and downs, more downs than ups. I
remember that mother sent Wash El
rod and I after meal one day and we
put red dirt in it, so you can guess at
what she did to us. She would start
us to school and we would play hookey
and lay out all day.
I remembor that Charley Clouse J
camo by tho Plstolo schoolhouse one
dr.y and yelled "school butter." Then
there was a long chase and we caught
h'ra and ducked him in Glade creek
on' the E. D. Pennington farm. We
J were all lined up in school for this and
j given three licks with a nice switch
in the hands cf Uncle Lewis Howell.
I remember the time Jehu Sherley
.knocked Isaac Elrod ,in the head with
a rock at Old Bunker Hill on the Fall
ins Water, when I was a little boy, and
'came near killins him. He has a hole
in the top of Us head now that an egg
'will lay In. Ho is 77 years old and
lives at Macomb, Mo. Ho married old
Charley Burgess' daughter, a sister of
yoimg Charley Burgess of Putnam
county. I remember old Charley Bur
gess catching a man one time in a
steel trap. He was stealing corn, and
Mr. Burgess caught him by the wrist
and he had to call for help and Mr.
Burgess went to his assistance and
got him loose. He kept him all night
and next morning gave him two bush
els of corn and told him io go to work.
There are many things I could call
your attention to but am afraid you
might get wearied with my long let
ters. It does me good to write back
to old Tennessee for it makes me feel
good to know that I have some friendj
and rlatives in White and Putnam
counties. If any of them will, write to
me I will be glad to answer them.
J. D Elrod.

Mt. View Lodge, No. 179, 1. O. O. F,
met at the usual hour, 8 p. m., July 11,
1914, W. H. Barr, N. G., presiding, A
great deal of routine business wm dis
posed of.
Bro. Dank Garrison is about as last
week. Bro. D. L. Lansden 1b improv
ing slowly. Bro. J. H. Tork seems so
better, In some respects is thought to
be worse. A warrant was ordered
drawn for his weekly benefits.
Committee on a petition for Initia
tion reported favorable, when, after
ballot, he was declared elected. Bro.
Clay Barr was elected to the second
dgree. Theer was no degree work at
this meeting. ... .
Our next meeting occurs on Friday,
17th inst., whn it is hoped there will
be a good attendance as there will
likely be work in the initiatory.
Brethren hould attend the lodge
meetings and take part i nthe pro
ceedings. Selfishness is, perhaps, the '
greatest sin the order has to contend
with. We were satisfied that the
brethren were good men -when we
vqjed to admit them, but we didn't
understand that they were' too good
to take part in the upbu"dinK and
boosting of the greatest benevolent or
der in the world. Brothers, it is 'not
right, not manly, not fraternal, to at
tend the lodge on election nights, elect
officers, and- then look to the officers
to keep the order going until the next
election night, unless in the meantime
there should be a banquet. Then the
attendance is not disappointing. '' It '
occurs to some of the brothers who
ettend regularly that the absent
brothers are, or should be, as much
Interested in the good work as any.
Perchance any stay-away brother
should happen to attend some meeting '
he should think a little "taffy" has a
more fraternal influence than criti
cism, this is said with no ill feeling.
That old saying about "the shoe fits"
is applicable. Come next Friday night. ;

MOORE, IDAHO
Dear Editor: While being so line-'
some I thought I would write again as
my other letter got through all right.
I enjiy reading your dear little paper,
so much and the good letters you
print trim all over the world, and they,
do me so much good.
Crops are just fine in this country
and' work is starting up nowv If some
of you Tennessee boys would come to'
Idaho and get from $40 to $60 per
month 1 guess 't would look good to
you. Rush Scarlett says tbe western
people don't think as much of a work
ing man as they do in the east; they
wake a man up about 3 o'clock In the
morning in the east and give him a
lunch, and in- the west they let him
sleep until six.
Andrew McHenry sure celebrated
the fourth of July.
My health 1b better now and I have '
gained 15 pounds since I came to Ida
ho, and I like the country much better

I have about 150 i'ttle chickens, but
my garden is not much good. We,
have a big frost here about every two ,
weeks. J
