Mr. Editor: 1 would like* to write you a long letter and a good one, but news is searee down here. I haven't much to write about but the farm; and it lias rained so long and so much that we haven't much crop. The past week was a little more favorable for farm work. We were able to plow about tkree and a half or four days. For three weeks previous to that we we plowed about three days in all. The cotton crop, according to my judgment, is about tit).per cent, of last year's crop. There is a good .deal of pretty good corn in our neighborhood. 1 am just back from a visit to my daughter, Mrs. Paul West, in Atlanta, bra., and on my way to and from 1 noticed the j crops as carefully as 1 could, and I , r.n.i riw. :i;? I imvi uiu rui&UV? IIMHIIWUII^ I'll \.tiling all the way. There are of course, j somtf spots better than others, but the average is Very poor. I met an old comrade in Atlanta, ' whom 1 have not seen since the sur- ] render of Lee's Army in 1<S(>~>. His ( name is Zac Rogers, who belonged J to Jeter's Rattery, or Macbeth Light Artillery and we seved together three years. You ought to have seen us meet. Such a hand-shaking we did ! have, and mcthinks a few tears ! might have been seen welling up in our eyes and then such another chat we did have until away along into the night. He asked mealiout all the old I>oys m I'nion County, land 1 had to tell him that the majority of our company had answered ! the last roll call on earth. I just write aliout meeting Zac Rogers, knowing this will reach some of the old company, who would like to hear from Zae. He is in the Soldier's Home near Atlantaj Editor, you can't conceive the I brother feeling that exists U tween i men who fought and suffered side by side during that long and cruel j j struggle. There is a tie of friend- J ship and affection between them that nothing but death can sever. It wont't he many years, even if we live out our allotted time, until the last old vet will have passed over the river. The best crops I have seen in all my travels arc in llogansville Township from Rice's Jiridge to West Springs. I did not examine as to fruitage of the cotton. I speak of the tine weed. I don't mean cotton alone. I mean coin too, and such I 'a quantity of peas and sorghum sold for forage Now, that is a small area of good 1 I crops com pa red with the miles and I miles and miles of poor crops I have seen. I don't know when our people , J will g< t through plowing, for it is j raining hard now (Monday morning) and looks like setting in for a . wet spell. I hear very little politics talked ; down here. The agony will soon ; : l>e over with the candidates, the j lucky ones feeling better, and the defeated ones not feeling quite so j good. The l>est thing to do, is for a man to be content with whatever Providence has in store for him. Scituto. (ioshen Hill, July :'?(), lWXi. GOOD BYESALE! R. F. D. Route No. I.

It has been a long time since I have written a letter to Tim Timks hut at the same time have been thinking of doing so, as it comes to our home every Friday as a welcome visitor. Having a space in j the past in the columns of this pa-, per and feeling that I still have a space thought I would say a few words. It has continued to rain up to this time and it seems that farmers will lay by or have to quit, grass or no grass. This has been a hard, y ar to kc p grass down, howev r crops are looking very well. Corn is real fine on up land, cotton has had too much rain in this section. Tho season now has arrived for .. recreation and rest t<? all who may * want it. And the time for picnics v and barbecues and the protracted ^ meeting has begun and a time for ^ the candidates to go around, and a ^ jolly set of fellows they all see in to .. be; and you know I would like to * vote for every one of them, hut that ^ is impossible. Mr. Y. H. Kel ley gave the young \j folks an enjoyable occasion at his ^ home last week; this was an ice ^ cream supper. After the supper j they had music on violin, guitar and * organ by Messrs. Willard, K el ley $ and Mi ss Lula (Jault. ^ Mr. Morris is our new railroad ^ agent at this p'ace as Mr. Snipes ^ has been removed. . I was proud to meet Mr. C.

Funderburk be asked to j I preach a sermon. Hro. Funder- H burk gave us an able sermon on' ! the subject of "Christ our great exemplar." At the close of this sermon a collection was taken for the colporteur amounting to something over eight dollars. Then the roll of churches was called to secure promises for the support of the colporteur and a sufficient amount was secured. After dinner the time was given j to a meeting of the Ladies Mission- j ary Society, and only a few mo- j ments was taken up by the convcn- ? tion for a business meeting. The ' convention then adjourned to meet at its next appointed time with the Mon-Aetna Church at Union. We wish to extend to the Putnam people our heartfelt thanks for their kind hospitality.
