Editor LtADKR: Will write
you a few liDee, ae it it impose!*
ble 10 write to all my friends
there, ao that all may read it.
The first thing I will tell you in
about the beautiful scenery we
•aw on the road. Aa we came
into Louisiana we aaw the beau
tiful acenery of the oane belt.
From there we went to New Or-
leans There we aaw the boat*
on the water—the hoata and all
tha oily waa a eight to me and all
my family From there we took
a tranepurt acroee the Miaeir
atppi river And Irom mere we
went to the large city of Mobile,
Alabama, which waa another
oeaultful city with boala on the
water. Next we came to the
thriving little city of tieorgiana
From there out in the country to
my biother'e home, vhere the
two fauuliea met for the first
time in life,
After I had stayed there a few
daya, I went to my old hoire
town of Ureenville, Alabama
and it teemed more natural every
day. Then, of courae, I had to
trade a little, ao I bought a bean
crop, whtca takea the place of
fertilizer here, and ta alio ui.nl
llo fatlao b g* and cattle Will
I have my beau crop gathered
1*000 and ready for market
After thfe I traded aome more
—nought two email farina, which
have plenty of water One ol
my farme ha* two gocd well* ol
watar and one everiaeling spring
Which afford* ;« large bran
ilenty of water The therpla
na one good Well of water and a
1 large poj| on it
The entire country haa plenty
of w-.lar all over ii large
branches, creeka, etc.
I find ihe people in Alabama in
fine ehape Every oody with lot*
of oorn and stock, and enjoying
toe very beat of health.
I alwaya like to get the Leader,
ao 1 can hear from inr old home
and friende.
