I've snorted all Tnhnsnn hill with M1V hav iver until now I'm so weakened iwn I don't no what elce I can k 'cept write this letter. I Ti an T'va had to helo hold ted Plott and Henry Winchester L two or three occayshuns; ye e, they got all het up an' wanted go and whoop tarnashun out ol ia Jhds. so it took all hands pres- kt to hold 'em. t has rased prize fbacker, prize, children also, and run for County i Commshner. but has never had his picktur in the Mount'nerr yit He says tne lackt that he was defeat ed ort not enter into the case, seem as how he didn't git out with a sent (He's jist a middlin good-lookin' man). Also a good cittyzen at Fines Creek said purty mutch the same. He said to tell you he was as good lookin' a man as any an' had done some brave things if he didn't fite the Germans. ; Jist A Few Hints But I must not forgit what I it down to write about As field man, Emerrytus, for bre paper, Mr. Editur, I want to ffer a few friendly suggeschuns. liese come not so mutch from incle Abe as Irom the publick-- fct Tom, Dick, and Harry who this case live moas ly out in te kuntry deestricks. I find the feople out thar are for you 100 r sent (almost), an' they be- leve you are for them. Tharf ore, ley konsider the deer ol' Moun ter theer paper. Wommen fokes generally like kt paper jist as it is, an' so they e sorter backards about offerin' Iny suggesschuns; howsumever, (me of our good male subscribers live axed me to sorter throw out few hints 'bout some moodyflca- kuns they'd like to see made. To-whit: One man down on Jonathan's Wk thinks a lot of his opinyons, ,o he says his naybors have lie good sense (some of them), kt that they are lildom ever boated in Voice of the People. A man at Iron Duff says he Wake Up, Americans Wake up, Ameri cans! Make America's answer roar out over the world. Every citizen must back the United States Army and Navy to victory back them with work and money. Do your part; Buy United States Defense Bonds and Stamps at your post office, bank, or savings and loan association. Oet Defense Stamps at your re tail store or from the carrier boy of this newspaper. Allen's Creek and Crabtree, Too Then thar's a man on Allen's Creek an' two on Crabtree who've razed nuff children to fill Noey's boat razed 'em up respeckf ul, too An' yore kammery man has never found 'em yit. They say it's our bizness to find out sitch things; that a man -who razes that menny children don't have time to go' round shootin's off his mouth about it. ,; In Defence of the Dee-Stricks Thars a lot of parints out in the kuntry dee-stricks, Mr. Editur, who have worked an' sackerficed to git ahead ontil they're stiff, skinny, an' almost blind. They have put their children throo at a doubble quick on the farm, been loyal to theer schools an, maybe, the church, improved theer farms, paid off dets yes, an in the mane' time, put theer children throo high school some of 'era eab'm throo college. As I write these lines to-nite I think of them: they have gone to bed long ago, caze they must of needsessity git up at about 4:30 to feed an' "juice" the cows, also feed the horses, hogs, an' maybe other stock. Then, break fast over, the loyal farmer wife must do the dishes, i. e., if the girls did not have time to do this before startin for school. Then thar's the milk to tend to, churnin', cleanin' up, beds to make, chickens to feed, an other work that only a farm woman knows about. Nor has Farmer John an' his sons been idle. By good daylite we see him out classin' fbacker, or out in the hoary frost shuckin corn, haulin' ruffness or drillin' in wheat.

It still must be Christmas for those who are" sharing it with us and so we carry on.
