' I am to be one hundred and five . feet wide in front and the same width behind. But I will remain a i one story man. You see it is this way. The emporium is expanding (I hope you did not think I was talking about myself.) You see that ? I have been doing such a rushing 5 business in furniture and advertising so much in the Press and Banner that Gen. Edison who makes 1 the talking machines, heard of me, 1 and he came down and signed up a contract for me to sell his talking machines. The firm will be Kerr &1 Edison I guess as I see that no! ' name is provided in the contract! which we made which reads as follows: An agreement between Thos. A. Edison of New Jersey, party of first part, and Household-and-Kitchen1 Furniture Kerr of South Carolina, party of the second part, proposed, considered and concluded, at Abbeville, S. C., this the. 1st Bay of i j May, A. D., 1918 for sale of talking! . machines. I I. The party of the first part has employed the party" of the second part to sell the music creators known , as Edison Talking Machines, on the , terms hereinafter named. All raa. chines are to be good machines, well painted ,must deal the muusic to the left, and talk when talked to. , II. The party of the second part , having a talking machine of his own, known as his mouth is not to I Ll" - Antinoififttl +/"> +V|A : i 1*1111 IIIC 9K11JIC 111 vivii W ?..? machines of the party of the first part, nor is he to sing, whisitle, or i even 'hum' any of the tunes and ! songs of the party of the first part I within seven miles of any other per-i [ son dead or alive. Said party of the, ? second part may, however, use his mouth in singing the praises of the machines of the party of the first ' part whenever so inclined, tind he : promises that he will do so. III. For so doing the party of ' the first part is due to get most of ' the money, but it is believed that if, the money passes through the hands of the party of the second part' he will keep his share, without any; ' provision to that effect in the contract. '' ? - - ' ' -i ' I Signed, sealed, aenvereci, over and acknowledged etc. the day and year first written etc. and duly executed. As I said this contract causes me| [ to spread out somewhat and so the Emporium still standing on its owrT bottom, my buggy and wagon busi-j ness made a landslide into the front J part of Uncle Jim, Livery Feed and Sale stables and took up its abode I there, the Ken* & Edison business ( alighting on aforesaid wagon and ; buggy business, so said business is now front and rear, Emporium 40 feet, Kerr & Edson 25 feet, Buggy , and Wagons 40 feet, total 105 feet; j which is the widest expanse of busij ness in Abbeville, or any nearby suburbs. Along with said Kerr & Edison musical instruments, talking j machines, etc., we will carry a full! line of stoves, oil, wood, coal, andj -i? -c? ond fin nans. I gas, aisu line Luiiiu uuu ..... j , walking sticks, baled hay and buy; old rags. When you get this letter please ( read it on the street, stopping here| i and there, and smiling, looking1 around and if Joe Harriman, aj I friend of cousin Walter Tusten,! should come along, read it to him: , and let him know that we have busi-! > ness men down South able to com-: bine big lines of business, look wise and live on war diet. Our boy, Sun, about whom you inquired is about the same as ever.' - He got along in school fine last, - month. He made about forty on all ?; his studies except baseball on which >| he made 1G0. He has a new neck-j 1; tie for every day in the week, a "pompadour a foot and seven inches high and is taking a good deal of notice. The fact is that he is a i pretty bright boy, and he is so kind < j to me. He took me to the show the )j other night and paid my way in, I borrowing the money from me to 3 J pay for the tickets. Wh have several good-looking -j young1 ladies visiting us at present.! - They are school teachers and in-| , sist on paying: board, which I take 5 rather than make any of them mad! t and have them leave.

I' I \ after the visitors came, and it throws all the entertaining on me, which I do to the best of my ability. The only trouble we have had is that I took them all to a show one night and when we got back they all said they had had a fine time, which was nice, except that one said, "Oh! but if we had only had a man along!" but I fixed her when I helped her plate the next 'day for dinner, the chicken was a little short anyway. My wife, I think, is looking for you down sometime soon though she savs she is not "pinching" for any more visitors at present, though she says those she nowjias are very pleasant. She looks down and brushes her dress when she says this, and I know what that means,! but I hope the visitors don't. There is one good thing about having visi-; tors. You have something good to' eat all the time, and when they are paying for it,it is not so bad. Then again your wife is always polite to you for fear that some of them may hear any unkind word she says, and put out the report that she and her husband do not get along well together. I think I will come up and spend the first week with you after they leave ' though, because every lane has its; silver lining. We are about to organize another set-back college. It is to be known as the Cothran's Branch Set-back Academy, J. D. Kerr, President and Treasurer (especially Treasurer). I have gotten out the old gown which I had when I ran the Greenville Street College, and I find it in pretty good shape except that Uncle Jim stretched it a little when he wore it, and it has one moth hole in the back, but as I address all gatherings from the front I do not think this will be noticed. I expect to call the members of the faculty together at an early date, make an address and will be able to report all proceedings. I wish to get the board of directors selected, so that I will get the offices and wear the gown, before I go too far. Give my love 1:o all inquiring friends.
