TUPELO.
Well, Mr. Editor, I step to the
front to thank you for the copy
of your last week’s paper. Af
ter carefully reading its contents
I have been ruminating as to
what will come next after this
extreme hot weather. I use the
word hot for a milder term would
not express it fully. I wonder
when we will have any rain. 1
wish some one would tell us, w«
are dry and very dry. Showers
pass all around and maybe we
will get rain by and by. I truly
hope so at least.
Tie hauling seems to be the
business of the day at Tupelo

er is helping the country by hav
ing good roads to haul over.
Now Mr. Editor, I will tell you
something about the bad game
we had here last Friday between
the Weidou club and the Tupelo
boys. We will say boys for they
were all beardless boys playing
against me i of families, a portion
of them at least. The Weldon
people holloaed and yelled for
their home boys but all for no
good. After the game was over
the score showed ill to 11 in favor
Tupelo. Pretty good beat for
Lew beginners.
