To the Herald and My Many Friends
of Putnam and White Counties: Af
ter a long delay I will try and say a
few words. The weather is nice and
cool here how and times are hard and
nothing to do. The farmerg can't sell
their cotton. They can only get $3,00
on the bail. ' There is nothing going
:on in the city. All of the factories
have shut down for the winter. A
man can't hardly get a day's work in
this city and there are lots of fami
lies that are suffering for food, wood.
and clothing. The Aid Society is call
ed on every day for help. There was
30 people called on them lagt Monday
for help. As to what is to come of
them I can't say. Everything so high
that people will have to live very
scant this winter. The trouble we
have in this country is the union, min
ers and union carpenters. The union
miners n a strike last July in
this country and blew the mines up
and burnt up everything that : they
could and killed three or four men.
So the matter got so bad that the U.
S. Court and the U. S, Marshal of this
district had to call on the Government
for help, so Uncle Sam sent three
T I companies of Cavalry to this county
with all kinds of sens. There are a
bout 1200 union miners In this coun
ty. The unions all over this nation
have caused more trouble than any
thing else. Non-union men " went to
work in the mines this morning with
soldiers and the marghals of this city
on guard so if the union miners make
any break there will be trouble, but
they haven't got the nerve to face a
regiment of Uncle Sam's men.
The war and the low price of cotton
and 'knocking whiskey out of this city
has almost put the city on the bum.
Not' that I think whiskey will make a
city, only in , revenue thig reached
f 4500.00 every month. While whiskey
was sold here the city was out of debt
but is now about, $40000.00 in debt.
Where is 'this money to come from?
The people of this city will be taxed
to pay this enormous debt. There are
lotg of poor men in this city who will
lose their homes on this very' thing.
You can't sell property at any price
at all, I have written the above so
that my old friends would know how
things are in this part of Arkansas. I
would be glad to correspond with any
one who will write.
Wishing all my friends and rela
tives well, especially G. W. Elrod and
family, and my. sister 8. Martin of
Putnam county. I will close.

Health is good in tblg neighborhood
except two coses of scarlet fever, and
it is in a mild form.
Everybody is about done picking
cotton. We have picked 26 bales and
have four or five more to pick, but we
haven" got much out ofour cotton.
The poor old Democrat sayls it is on
account of the war. It ig a good
thing to have something to lay their
troubles to, but they remind one of the
little boy, etc.

filled with tears. He said "Mama, did
Grandpa" whip papa when he was a

"Well," he said "when did this thing
