K §[erry Christmas MB. EDITOR : Again I m Mseat myself to writ* you tfiw lion aud bops ibis will find Its 'MY into vbs proof room a* It appears my lost article did not. How-so-eVer 1 suppose tbs trps tsttsr "stock Uup” M It was written and I bars bo oos io Mams but **my hmsly.” I wwd to be a Up-top spallar till I was ceiled ou to spell Wind-pig, I spslt U at I thought was right, but whan 1 had floitbsd. my tutor askad why 1 put a coopts of 1-8 to it; why ha said: "How ths douce p* tbs pis going to bs blind with two good spas,” and yon bat your Ills I taka every thing to consideration now and apeli accordingly. mat wtailing yon all a Marry Christmas and a Happy New Year I will proceed: it dost seam that I can’t get turksv off my mind. There was Tbeutogiv a taw weeks ago, and a great big turk ey, now Christmas Is almost upon us and that means mora torksy and an other gizzard tor mamma's yookty. How time docs fly. It stems but yesterday that I sat at my mother's kottft and listsud to bar tall of ths com ing ot StnU Claws or read Chr.stmas storied. Some wars very sad and I'd ofltlmaa fed a big tear running down my cheeks and o»y throat felt ilka a frog was in it. Christmas with ail its Joys and much gayetj has its sor rows and great disappointments, aud I'm thankful to say I’m still living and haven't been near death’s door hot a dozen or mors times. Lest Christmas, I spent with Polls, the Mae eyed, golden haired damsel who I hope has found another "sock or” to spend his money on her this Christmas for I m too far away to even think of being with her myself, so 1 will stay at home and kelp eotsrtain my aunt’s family, from Durham, wbo is expected to be with os during the holidays. I'm so glad I'll be at home uk». for I thing so much of them. There are ouij four, mother, father and two sons,—Mr. mud Mrs. C. P. Howerton, Jeter and baby Gallon. What a glorious time we will bsve. I Invite y<>u-all to come, '‘Mamie and everybody.” The cold frosty winds of *be recent date brought with it a "hug killing lime'* at wr house, end we will nut ooiy have turkey for Christmas but, hoos-hsad and turnips, a lot o' big houtopy, a few spare-ribs, some back bone.—l like, the bogs tail roasted, don’t you ? Some sausage, fresh pork, —the ears and font bavau’t gone any where yet either, but when tLev do go they'll be a goner,—crackling*, chit terlings.—the liver has gone beyond recall.—and last but nnt least we will all V>lo hands aud sing : "Put oo le skillet, pot on de lad Mama's going to cook e little short oto’ bread.” Shooting matches, with a turkey io the "Jsck pot,” seems to be ell ths rage around here, and I am nolle sore some bo*iy t* going to have turkey Christinas, tor every time I look oat the wlr-dow —or moat every time—l see somebody taking a turkay horoe at least I know I beer a turkey »obWe, I think ido any way My mind ban everlastingly oo turkey, I wish some times there bad nevec been such a thing as turkey, but more ofttner that 1 bad it all time. By the way, I went where they were selling cotton a saw days ago, and when a cotton boyar went tb sample a bate of cotton a little fallow, that was standing by, cried oat, “cut her deep mister, she Is nasty in the mid dle.” I fait for that kid, I tall you, for wtwn I looked Into the eyes of his naele, I saw Mood, sad I bet that boy wont gat aay turkay tot Ue Cbrataos dinner. I’m worried almost to death about what to gwre n»r hnnklM tot ■ Christ mas present; whether a pack of Oral# Cigarette,— nop, she’d smoke them up Man hour, what she Udo’t gins to ao other “don Jack.” A salt of inflated bloomers te nde her Mha with.-noy. she’s to Mi of wind sow, lor nothing «au*t happen kt forty miles ofberebdt what she’s got it eU oyer town in less than fifteen miaotee.
