Just think of it, brothers! There are
fifty-three Saturdays and consequently
fifty-three paydays in this good year

eighty-four years. The last time there
were that number of Saturdays and
Sundays was in 1876--Centennial year.

Pumpkintown Notes
We Pumpkins suppose it is our turr
tobe. a wonder now. "A Farmer'
is dus because we got a little
slice ' news once. But we hadn't
th*e leaq idea that the news he men
tions w'as anybody's private property.
Furthermgje, we're at sea about that
,Sdepredatidi" which he says was com
. titted, here. The only conclusion we
n arrive at is that he refers to an in
dcldent ,,hich happened in Oolenoy see
Joni f -that Is the case, and he wants
us to t'll 'about.that, we can't use that
ind of language. He requests that we
tell the news of. our own town; but
Ooledow isn't any more our town than
is Pleasant Grove. However, to make
amends so far as possible for the dam
age done him whep we trespassed on
his news territory, we leave it to him
hini to write an article setting forth the
"depredation" that he insists was com
rhitted in all its vivid coloring and with
a little red button on top.
An old tin can and a piece of broken
tile which they had picked up by the
roadside served as a heater for Albert
Masters and Green MeJunkins as they
came home from Pickens last Thursday
night. The pan was set on the floor of
the wagon body and the piece of tile
set on end in the pan and a fire made
under it, The blaze burned out above
the top of the novel heater, and thus
they had light as well as warmth.
Now, while Oolenoy is boasting about
her splendid mail facilities, would be a
good time for us to mention Pleasant
Grove's excellent fe-male beauty. But
here we are, grabbing "A Farmer's"
news again.

Card From Capt. Ponder
Editor Sentimul: Please allow me spat'e in
, your paper to speak a word to any Inquiring
friends throughot the county, and most especi
aly to return thanks to each and every one of
my friends who so kindly remembered me and
visited me during my long and serious illness
since last September. I sincerely appreciate
and thank them for their great kindness in so
faithfully helping wait on me through the long,
weary weeks of suffering: also the many tokens
of esteem sent and brought by those who came
to inquire after me and showed their willing
ness to lend a helping hand whenever needed.
I earnestly pray God's blessings on them all,
and hope they may never be called upon to
endure the pain and suffering I have recently
pas.sed through. To those of my old war com
rades who came to see me while I we too ill to
receive them (Messrs John ,lulian, Porter aind
Griffin), I wish to say I appreclate your interest
in me and my condition as only an old veteran
can, and am glad to say I am sufliciently recov
ered to receive and enjoy the visits of my
friends once more, and I shall be very much
pleased to have you make me a visit now, as it
will be some time before I can hope to be out
again, tho, thru the hand of a kind Providence,
I air able to be up most of the time, and enjoy
seeing my friends once again.
Again I thank my many kind f riends for every
attention and interest and attention shown me.
I thank God for fils loving tenderness and re
storing hand that has ever been my stay and
help in my darkest hours of trials und sirering
and I pray ilis guidance over us all till lie eOlIs
us. one by one, to "cross over the river and rL:t
icati the shade of the trees," and then
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I aive crossed the bar."
