Dear Sir:
Replying to your fayor of the
26th instant, I regret to advise
that by clerical oversight at this
with a bulg of cotton and in eve-
ry field we passed people were
picking cotton. When we reach-
ed Fine Spring^ we were re-
quired to have some one sign
our paper to show that we had
passed there._
The man and his wife did not
want to sign for fear they would
have to go to court, but Henry
talked to them in German and i
nallv signed it. We hiked on &
when we were within a milq of
Engle, the sign board said, “One
mile to Engle,” but the hand
pointed the opposite direction,
but we could hear 'the gin and
knew Engle must be in that di-
rection. •
We arrived in Engle at 8:30,
Others’ Faults
In speaking of a person,s fault
Pray don’t forget your own;
Remember those with homes, of glass.
It mav not be his own.
If we have nothing else to do,
PmPt talk of those who sin.
’Tis better to commence at home.
We have no right to judge u man
Until heks fairly tried.
Should we not like his company
We know the world is wide.
Some mayhave fault's, arid \irno has not?
The old as well as young.
Perhaps wo may, for aught we know,
Have fifty tp their one.
I’ll tell you of a better plan.
And find it works full well,
To try my gwn defect to cure,
No other faults I tell. "
And though I sometimes hope to be
No worse than some I know.
My own shortcomings bid me let
The fault of others go.
