COUNTY LINE
Please, Mr. Editor, may I
take this chair here by Silver
Moon? So you know who I am
do you Silver Moon? Well I’m
glad of that for I kinder feel
bashful among so many stran-
gers, and as I am acquainted
with about eleven of the Cor-
respondents I’m glad to add
another one to my list of ac-
quaintances. But, you just said
you knew who I was, didn’t
you? I guess you just know
my name. Well, you still have
the “vantage” of me, for I do
not know your name.

A. Caudill better at this writ-
ing.

Flat was in this community

The game season has again

that you went and eat those

have gotten there first and he
is selfish you know.
Mrs. Ella Barron and Miss
Cecil Duncan called on Miss
Lila Ritchey Sunday morning.
Many thanks Beauty, and Pi-
lot, for the use of your pencils

make them say anything more

throw my pencil and whichever

use it next week. Here goes,

Well, I didn’t get my Repor-
ter until Monday, but when it
did come it was good. very good.
But, my, my! didn’t Johnnie
Dolittle give me fits though,
and about that candy pulling;
Miss Johnnie, here is what you
said: “They had an old-time
candy pulling at Mr. Bridges’
Sunday and all reported a nice
time.” You spoke as if there
might have been a large crowd
■ there. And for Sunday school
you must go three times a Sun-
day if you go three times to
my one, for I go every Sunday.
Now. Johnnie, that, is another
one of your breaks, when you
didn’t know where you were
breaking. And as for me being
absent minded, near-sighted
and cross-eyed, I think I must
have gotten that from you.
So Silver Bell got 100 pounds
in one day. Good Silver Bell,
you sure got good pay for that.
Why didn’t you call me and
give me a piece of your candy,
for I am so hungry? But, lis-
ten! I got plenty last Friday
night, the 13th. We had a can-
dy snapping at Mr. Newberry’s
and I want you to know we had
the candy and also had a good
time. Wish you could have
been with me.

the election two Palo Pinto
county men, an anti and a pro,
rode all week trying to get peo-
ple to go to the polls and vote.
We think that men have sense
enough to go and vote if they
want to, and if they do not
want to, we are sure they will
not go by being talked to for
two hours, unless they can be
talked into anything, and if
they are that way they are not
capable of voting and should
not be allowed to vote.
Johnnie Dolittle, you and
Homeite rest easy, Dreamy
Eyes and myself are not going
to fight. Don’t get scared for
we have known each other al-
ways, and we never have I
fought and never will. This I
know, for Silver Bell would run
any old time before she would]
fight.
Well Beauty, honest, I do not
know what to think about John-
nie Dolittle. She might not
have fooled any one, but she
caused some one to ride to Pick-
wick all right, didn’t she. But,
Beauty, if I could see you I
would tell you the rest. Well,
I expect Johnnie beat me so
bad picking cotton that she did
not want to tell how much she
picked. But, listen! She thinks
twenty-five pounds a day is all
I can pick, but it isn’t. I pick
as high as 185 some days. John-
nie that is a little better isn’t
it? ’ (
