Dear Ed: I will give you a
few dots from my community.
Crops are all about harvested
iu this section.
The box supper at Sandy
Grove church on Oct. 29th, was
a success. The amount raised
was JK25.25. I think the supper
was enjoyed by all present.
Oh yes! Mr. Pete. 1 will give
yon an answer from Sandy Grove
to your most interesting piece
which was in The People week
before last. I am very sorry
that you and your intimates were
so distrusted at the box supper
at Bandy Grove on Sat. night
Oct. 20th. Thero ? is ono thing
I agrco with yon about and tluit
is taking the church for sport
aud amusement being wrong but
I think we have as nice young
ladios in my community us there
is in yours. I hojje that the
next time you write that you
will not bring the young ladies
and boys of Sandy irrovo in your
correspondence as I think there
are just as nice youug ladies in
our community as jmy where.
You look around and see if you
were not a little two fjist in your
piece. Think what young men
were at the supper, see if any of
Sandy Grove's young men were
drunk. I think then you will
understand things better. I
will stop on this subject by giv
ing you all an invitatian to anj
other supper which will be in
this community. You will see it
announced in this week's People.
Come again Pete, .your letter
was very much appreciated.

Carnival weelc marked a red
letter occasion for both our white
and colored population but we
thinlc it was enjoyed merely to
its utmost by our two characters,
Sam and Jake. Their crops
having.been almost all gathered,
Jake having paid out his lien
with Mas' Charlie, and both
having money in their pockets,
they came over in force to take
in all the fun going. Jake had
de ol'-'oman and dat onerny boy,
and his other ten children, ana
Sam showed up with Mahaley.
the one in his new suit, aud the
other resplendent in the new
dress that Sam had bought for
her.
The whole family liati a huge
time but after an hour or so,
Sam became restless aud manag
ing to slip away from Mahaloy
struck a bee line for Dr. Lang's
popular pharmacy. He h itii'il t
forgotten Jake's set-up on circus
dav and wanted to get even.
Returning to the mid-way, he
succeeded after a little finessing
in getting the entire bunch of
coons on the merry- go round
with the exception of Jake to
whom ho had tipped a wink.
The two then took a walk, and
knowing that their time was
limited put in several minutes
of it in short order in discssing
with uplifted faco the merits of
"Peaceful Valley," the Doctor's
supply of "Crum," their favorite
being exhausted.
Feeling greatly refreshed the
twain wended their way back to
the ground and Jake retliated
on Sum by taking him to the
Snake show. Neither coon
knew what he was going to see,
but pretty soon, "Peaceful Val
ley" ceased to be peaceful, and
a rebellious feeling in tlio ab
dominal region caused both to
beat a hasty retreat to the
friendly shelter of Springs and
Shannon's ware house when
after a time everything again
became quiet. Sam and Jake
has seen snakes and snakes be
fore, but they had never seen a
woman chaw one up, and it up
set them.
Their conversation on the sub
ject was long, earnest and
laughable, but we haven't the
space to give kt this week. We
will conclude by saying that the
entire party thoroughly eujoy
ed the day, the only unpleasant
feature ot it being that Mahaley
fainted 011 witnessing the high
dive, Jake's ol' 'oman having a
time in bringing her 'round.
