Well, after the hawks and preachers quit bothering our chickens the ser pent came and got after the little chicks but I soon stormed him.' I care blm a dose with a pole and did not even wait to read a chapter in the Biblo to him before I had him dead., Our peas and beans grew around the old lady while she was picking lettuce, and she had totag toe to cut the Tines from around her. - ' Mrs. Wash Pryor contemplates com ing out to the. Bead place this summer. We welcome her. We were down at Quarterly meeting Saturday and Sunday and heard some good sermons. Friends don't forget the meeting Sat urday and Sunday, June 10th and 11th. On the Uth Rev. Jas. Hart will preach the funeral of my only sister, Mrs F. M. Eakln, , , Mine and the'old lady's health holds its own pretty well. It cannot get much woi. VVfl only drink two cups of cof fee and eat three or four biscuits a-plece very morning and bare a peach pie Sundays. Come on with your canister and grape. , , A. J. Curtis is raising a fine lot of leghorn chicks. It rained a nice and steady rain Mon day. I don't believe there will be any blackberries, or white ones either, out here. . ,' ' " " ' The bells have begun to ring out here but It not caused by ceremonies by a preacher or 'Squire. Its the cattle. ' The next law the legislature of Ten nessee will pass will be one to prevent any snakes to be killed and roads from crossing one another or forking. We are sorry for them but perhaps they may repent yet. One thing they ought to do Is to make a law to pay five dol lars for a wildcat skin, two for a fox, one for a hawk and tax every dog five dollars. , In five years we would have plenty of game. The hawk, fox and and wildcat kills more quail, pheas ants, turkeys and squirrels than all the hunters. Will our law-making men see to this. Let everybody beg ana pray ior it, Blng it, writelt, talk it study it vote it and name will soon be olenttful and the . Bheep shade. Cachug wiU rest easy in the .

Special to the News, As I have long been a. reader of I your moat interesting paper, x thought I would drop you a few lines, and as it IS my first attempt I dread the waste basket, but Will say. However, tuai we are sua en- joying good neaita ana naving aa ltil VI Dlentv of rain. 1 certainly do en- joy readiDt; thtf News especially the many letters from our iriendfl and relatives now bo lar away irom their homes, and some from their families and loved ones. But the Lord sends rain on the iust and un just, and we feel that he is with us in all we do. I wish to say to Nip & Tuck that if I would not call on the union for anything to eat, that I would not work here until I was in debt and had no credit. I would not have brass enough to come to a union man, and ask money to get away on. " , - We still have plenty to eat, and are not undermining our icnow. men and brothers ou t of their jobs. And we don't ask the non-union miner for a thing we get, nor ever will. ' And you dont think the unt ion a benehcial organization to la borers, eh? Well, you ought to be sent to school till you can tell what your labor is worth. ' Hurrah for Illinois and Petros. Come again. I believe Nip & Tuck said this was a free country but the laborers don't seem to be free very much as they are brought here under gun, and guarded day and night, and work under the gun. ya there any difference between the present time apd when the union men worked here? Well, I should say there is is. We don't think the Lord will bold us guilty of causing so much disturbance as those articles who are mixing with the people at Whitwell. ' Our union people are visiting and having a good time with the few that are left. V . a. A a l will bring my lew lines to a close wishing the News world-wide circulation and good luck to the union the world over. Blue Bonnet. PLEASANT GROVE.
