It Is as big as tbe bible and read a whole lot more. Pinetown, you and I are warm friends and may get to be a whole lot warmer If you do not get to showing a more discriminating taste in your choice of words. But, for the present, the goodness that dwells in me restrains me from raising my hand to commit brutal and bloody assault cn the person of an esteemed and irresponsible fellow being. Therefore. I shall be brief and shall say nothing biting or discreditable. You called me a "crack-brained dude." Being an unlearned man, my vocabulary is rather limited and. for a time, 1 did not know the meaning of that expression. So 1 got down my dictionary of phrases and looked up its definition. I found it defined as follows: "A rough epithet which envious persons love to hurl at their superiors." One neighbor has just launched a motor boat. From all accounts it ' motors all right and does other things ) as well. It is a small boat, long and narrow. It is a dug-out and is an round on the bottom as the original log. It , will carry two men and a boy safely enough if they are well rersed in the > science of equllibrum. It is one of ? those boats in which the passengers , have to ait astride of the mathematit cal middle and be very careful about i shifting a chew of tobacco from one aide of the mouth to the other. If - not mindful of these precautions the 1 boat ! liable. to dip in a barrel of wa~ ter and dump you into the bottom of l the sea, all at one operation. i The other day our friend went out i for a trial run, his sister and another passenger accompanying him. All ' went well until he ran up to a w harf i to let the last mentioned passenger disembark. When the passenger stepped off, the boat gave a lurch which sent the young lady overboard i headforemost. But for her brother's presence of mind she might have . been drowned. But acting quickly he luckily caught her by the feet and pulled her up. We withhold the name of the - young man, also the name of his ? boat, for we are sure be Intends to - take his best girl out riding in it ' some time. Nobody's best girl would run the risk, if she knew it, of having I her fellow to haul her up and from > the bottom of the river by the shoe v heels. PINETOW.V ?- ' I Messrs. Oeo. T. Leach. Jonathan!
