Miss Rose Burkett of DeView,

frequent we are most afraid to
get out on the streets lest we
run up against some one’s list.
R. B. Caudle is the most ex
pansive block-man we know,

one up to two wagons per day.
Attention young people! If
you would like to know all about
•making wishes, and which finger
to put the ring on, just ask May

T. A. Smith, our friend and
worthy post-master and mer
chant, seeing the little men
around goingback and forth from
the bayou and bringing home a
nice string of fish, decided a big
man like he could catch a lot of
’em. And so he did. He went
all alone and when he came back
he said he had had extra luck.
Ha caught two “pumpkin seed”
and a perch, and says he is not
going by himself any more. I
guess he wants someone to help
him bring his fish home.
We learn we are to get a daily
mail by the first of next month.
Maybe we can then get a paper
before everybody else reads it,
or a letter before it is a month
old.
Jim Fowler has sold his
ponies (?) and bought a tine team
of mules (?) and joined the block
hauling society. We wish him

“General Green” was running
too wild over our farmers and
have been trying for several
days to flag him down, but he
won’t flag.
Rev. S. L. Cochran preached
for us Sunday evening but did
not have as much to say about

you go an’ tell him this like you
did the other.)
