Klondike's Letter.
Yes Mr. Editor its mighty dry and
hot; but the prospects now are that
we will have showers.
All's well and silent along the R.
F. D. No. 1.
Most of the farmers are weariDg
long, dry faces, trying to imitate the
weather, I guess.
There's one man in Lewiedale,
however, that is not wearing a long
face: Rev. C. B. Avery, is a happy
man, the birds sing sweeter and the
echoes of distant music failing on
his ear lights up his lace witn a
smile as broad as the Atlantic Ocean
but why ell this??it's only a girl.
The Poet was sadly mistaken
when he thought all the world would
join him singing his sweet song,
' There's a laud that is fairer than
day." One young man in our town
declares he cannot conscienouely
sing it. He spells the day with a
capital D. However he sings through
with great tenderness?"Beautiful
Day."
Yes we went down to the cue at
friend Frys. No candidate except
Uncle George Shealy wants these
peoples votes or at least they don't
seem to be very anxious about them.
Two preachers and one candidate
were the crop of public men, but the
young people all came out and had a
good time. The boys gave us some
good music, but these girls and boys
have Loo much self-respect to dance.
Three or four young men celebrated
the "fourth" by putting themselves
out side of some booze. How
foolish they did look and act, but I
suppose they thought the same of
us.
Thats right young men play out to
the end of your line, but it will snap
one day and the golden cord will be
loosen and life will be miserable.
How manly they did look. 0 God
when will the day come, when our
young men will be free from this
Demon of hell ? But why take on sc?
They got it from our dispensary and
on the 4th of July at that.
Celebrating the 4th. Yes on that
day we struck off the shackles of

so far as the king was concerned.
But to day many poor souls are
under the tyrant "KiDg Alcohol" and
we who beast of our freedom are not
doing anything to release them.
Kings cannot bind men, but sin can.
I am sorry for the young man who
drinks. He is 'ailing behind in the
great march of life and sober young
men are forging to the front.
Tell Billie I'm not in the race, says
Mr. Kyzer. He prefers for the present
a quiet secluded spot where "even
the thoughts of office trouble him
not.
That's right Mr. Preacher go a
head and boom up the man who says
favors of the dispensary but God
pity your consistency.
-n Ti i!.!. i_ i._
Jiir. Hidiior mis is not iih.b me iu
write things so blue, but ain't it the
truth? Well it will all come right
when it is washed, but some things
don't look like they were going to be
washed.
Miss Ethel Koon is visiting in the
Pond Branch section.
Our friend, Prof. I. B. Marsh of
William and Mary's college spent a
night at Mr. Jimmie Gunters last
week.
Shipping peaches is the order of
the day.
All the good people in the world
are not dead yet. How many nice
peaches, plums, apples and watermelons,
Klondike does get out of the
U. S. boxes. The watermellons however
are put clown by the box, some
times they are not off the vine, but
then I know they must have been
intended for me they are so close the
road.
The Hall Bro's. mill here is runing
night and day. The boys will
do you right so bring on your wheat
Well I guess C. D. Barr will want
somebody to die now, as be has his
ccffiu factory about done.
Tell Sharpe and Lever when they
enter their desired heaven to remember.
Klondike.
Let our lady friends read this expression
of appreciation from Mrs.
Lula Frady, of Uree, N. C: k'I am
void of words to adequately express
my appreciation of .Ramon's Liver
Fills and Tonic Pellets. I was a
great suffer when I began the use of
this Treatment. They nave completely
changed my life from one of suffering
to healthful enjojment.v Only
