Letter From Bro. Johns.
Mr. Editor, I thought I would
write you a few things that have
happened lately at DeView.
I have been trying to live an
upright, peaceful life as I knew
how: but Mr. Editor, you never
saw a poor fellow get such a
pounding as was put upon me
last Thursday evening at 5 o’clock
by my good neighbors. They
began to pour into my humble
little home until it seemed nearly
full of the best people our coun
try affords. They all came load
ed with good things, such as
make life a pleasure. Flour, su
gar, coffee, soda, meat, lard, sor
ghum. This is not all by half,
but several other things good to
eat and wear. Also some small
pieces of money. My dear niece.
Mrs. S.A. Gilmore, of Gilmore,
Ark., gave us matting for our
floor. I want to say I was over
come with love and gratitudeand
was compelled to ask the good
people to bow with me in prayer
and thanksgiving to God; that in
making, He made so many good
people. It was not the material
things given, moved us so much
as the expression of love and ap
preciation for me and my dear
wife among them as neighbors.
I want to say that my home is
not for sale. When I am at home,
you will find me at DeView, Ark.
I will say to friends in any state,
that if they want to make their
homes in the best county in Ark
ansas state, they had better look
at Woodruff county first. We
have good towns, good schools,
goo^ churches, good doctors,
good lawyers, good preachers,
(except one) good lands, good
water, good mills, gins, etc. and
as good society of good people as
you can find between the seas.
S.D. Johns.
Wood’s Reply.
We were taught in our infan
cy never to jump on a cripple or
parley with an idiot, consequent
ly we will touch lighly upon the
hopeless case of our deluded Bro.
whose attempted witticism fell
flat on account of his inability to
spell the word “Alphonse.”
This man is evidently one of
the “the squrrel-heads” of whom
Jeff said: “Thereare only two or
three papers in the state for me,
and I wish they were not. 1
could walk outside their circula
tion in thirty minutes and read
all their papers contained while
walking.” This from your lord
aud master, Jeff. * Doesn’t it
sound familiaa?
No, Bro., we have not so far,
forgotten our self-respect as to
be a Davis trucker. Appears to
us we would rather be a “babe
drunk with innocence’, than to
be a governor drunk with igno
rance and “rot-gut.” Even if
Davis was reinstated in a church
up at his home, where his fath
er is elder and his brothers dea
cons, that doesn’t efface the dis
grace of being kicked out of the
church at Little Rock.
We are truly thankful for the
information that it was Jeff who
defeated James K. Jones. We
were under the impression that
it was J. P. Clark.
In the meantime, there will be
five long years before the elec
tion, so our Bro. need not pull all
his hair out at once.—Cross
bounty Democrat.
The ball-bearing, backaction,
hammerless. muzzle-loading,
logician, of Wynne, has discuss
ed the subieet, “To defeat Berry
is the biggest job Jefi ever un
dertook. ” The Woodruff County
News hereby offers any man,
woman or child $10.00 if he, she
or it will find one thought in his
entire treatise relevant to the
subject.
As Bro. Wood has dodged the
key-note, we must follow him.
We are a cripple and an idiot and
our attempt falls flat because we
misspelled Alphonse. In this
very issue of his sanctified per
fection, he spells “squirrel heads
squrrel heads.” In the local of
W. W. Shaver of V. he spell
ed Vanndale Vanneale. In his
'editorial, discribing the hanging
of the 2 negros, be says “They
were hung etc. ” when he should
! have said, they were hanged and
| many other such “inabilities.”
If because, we misspelled Al
phonse, we are a cripple or an
! idiot and our piece falls flat, what
j in the name of high heaven, would,
'you name yourself after the fore
going typographical & gramma
tical errors? Will you answer?
If it were not so far, nothing
•could afford us more pleasure
than to attend your spelling

Further on, he says Davis was j
reinstated.... father, elder and;
his brothers deacons. Having
known the family since 1883, we
will say Jeff has neither brother
nor sister at Rnssellville and if
he has elsewhere, we never have
heard of them. “Oh! Consisten
cy thou art a jewel” even at the
hands of the Soloman of Wynne.
You did not know that Jeff Da
vis defeated Jones. If there
were a boy ip McOrory 5 years
old, knowing the history of the
last campaign, that could not;
tell me the main-spring of the j
land-slide that defeated Jones, 11
would check him for the insane
asylum with instruction, incura
ble.
In regard to how long it is un
til Berry’s successor is elected,
we don’t know, but as the last
legislature did not put Berry in,
we believe it is only a little
over two years. It is impossi
ble to be 5 years away.
In conclusion, we will say, we
did not select the foregoing mis
takes with any idea of our per
fection. We don’t believe per
fection is the handiwork of man.
All newspapers contain mistakes.
“To err is human to forgive di
vine.” We forgive you Mr. Wood
but never will I believe “That to
defeat Berry is the biggest job
Jeff ever undertook.” and the
distant echoes, breaking the news
on the spicy isles of eternity, re
peat NEVER.
