became distressed, then sank to the

Hut rock, a. C., ockt. 2?, 1980. 1
deer mr. editor: 11
my wife read the little eppy taff 1
which mrs. joncs rote last week and 3
put in yore valuable paper about hegrampay
who died in 1876, so. she !
asked me to rite an eppy taff for
heV cousin bill who allso dide with C
the malury fever in 1877, so i will 4
do so as followers:
I
in memoriam
oh, bill, oh, bill, oh, bill, oh, bill, 4
i think of you coming down the hill, 1
the cheer is vacant where you useter '
set, 1
and i am living at the old place '
yet. 1
' I
yes, bill, i know that you have gone *
home to glory where there "was no *
rails to split and we found out that
you ketched malary splitting rail? in
the pastor, and ever tim^> we see an
old style fense, teers as big as yoro 1
fist come into my eyes.

a haff.
p. s. this was rote by mike Clark,
rfd, for his wife in memery of her
cousin bill as set forth alcove in

My First Venture and Adventure
I was born and raised (not reared)
on a farm. I plowed and hoed and
reaped and sowed and ran an engine
and saw mill and a corn mill until I
was nearly 20 years of age. My
father was strong for all kinds of
machinery. Its chief purpose was to
keep him poor?which it did.
One day I decided that I ought to
learn to' be a telegraph operator. I
had finished school (in about the
eighth grade in a country school) and
was right smart in books, so I
thought. I could bound Russia, and
I knew which was the longest river,
and could explain Gellysbuig, so I
thought I could master the art of
telegraphy, and thus began my career.
I walked 8 miles each day to and
from the small-town telegraph office.
I took my- dinner with me every day
when I could get it fixed to take.
I kept batch 4 months and did my
own cooking. By hard work, I could
"send" and "receive" fairly -well in
about 8 months. My great day came
when I was offered a job at a watermelon
station in the lower part of
S. C. I went.
My trip away from home was an
event in McGee history. Never before
had a McGee been farther than
20 miles from his birthplace. Before
I got ready to go, my folks
thought they would be glad to get
rid of me, but when I packed up,
they changed their tune. I borrowed
$2.50 from my father and dreseed up
the beat I could .with my then Sunday
clothes and if there ever was a
rube turned loose on the world, I was
him. Everybody cried and took on
when I got on the train.
My new home was 245 miles away, I
a distance now equal to 3 times
around the world and back to Chicai
go. I held down that job as long
as they needed me. Then I started
home after au absence of exactly Bo
days. I had to pass through a big
town and that suited me. I took the
25 dollars I had earned and dolled
myself up. I bought my first suit
of underwear, and a pair of striped
sox adorned my southern extremeties,
and the cheap suit I bought
: ($7.50) dyed me purple before I had
gone 10 miles.
Well, I finally got back to my old
home and my people. They didn't
know me, I was so dressed up. The
boys bad never seen a sWe-bought
suit before. My blue hat was a caution.
I had contracted a low-country
brogue and they couldn't understand j
my language at all. And them box.
And them pink shirts. And them
gteen specks. And than patentleather
shoes. . And them red tie. j
And them cuff buttons. Folks, I j

was something to gaze upon. In
fact, I had arrived. But I finally
got over it after my brothers had
wallopped nie all over the place and
ruint my nice things. After that, I
-remained a native.
4 Modern Samson \
In The Making
Just where and when Clarence
Cehr, 6-yeur-old physical prodigy of {
oledo, O., is going to stop growing
iobody knows, but from all indica
ions he is going to be another Samon.
This young man, despite his youth,
nust shave regularly, has a man's
>uss voiee, $mokes cigars?when ho
an got them, and has almost the
strength of a man grown, lie is 3
Feet b inches tall and weighs 84
bounds.
In spite of his abnormal physical
level opment he hus the mentality of
he average boy of six years. And
nere is where his parents are up
igainst thpir biggest problem. He is
ready for the first grade in school
:n?t the school authorities will not let
trim enter. They are afraid he will
demoralise any class of youngsters
i?f which he becomes a member.
But the boy must have an education,
so the state department of education
has been asked to issue him h
special permit exempting him from
child labor lows so he may appear
in stage performances. The money i
obtained in this way will be spent in
employing a private tutor.
Physicians who have examined this
unusual boy attribute his physical development
to super-activity of tho
ductless glands which are making him
a man before his time. If it isn't
done before then maybe he will turn
out to be the American hope that
will bring the prizefight championship
back to these shores from foreign
lamds.
