have forgotten me, yet I aum dalily
thinking of all of you and ofte,
pray for you as I think of the
many kindnesses that were bAstowed
upon me by You. I think often of
you in your church work, your
Sabbath sohools, your singing
classes and the good meetings we
havo had together, also of tho
many houses I have helpcd you to
build ; thinking thus of the many
pleasant and happy hours we hive
spOL:t together has prompted 1me
to speak this way, and let all who
would care to hear, know that I
an still in the "Land of ,he Sky,"

My daughter, Bertie, is married

"Unclo Zoke" can tell you why
people that live over here are gen
erally well, hoarty, fat and sassy,
if lie wants to. Ho canl, tell a lot
of things if you will ask him. There
was a lots of truth in what he said
about old PiCki(q1us Coulty3. He is

heartily comnmend hini to you and
the good people of your county.
I am glad to se that you have

looks like a new house. If it had
not been for the con test thuus church
would have been without the new

whar our folks live,
stood a little old cabin, what lemckel like

He was a sleek talking rascal, and sly as
