Since my last*'* T have made
two trips to Denison. Visited
mraifficted sister who is suffering
with inflammatory rheumatism
and dropsy.a I spent Christmas
in Denison and attended a nice
Christmas tree at the Calvary
Baptist church. It was a. grand
time tor all the little ones.
Every one got a sack of fine nuts
and candy and many beautiful
presents were handed down from
the tree to the Sunday school
scholars, intact4* no one was
slighted. Old and young all got
a sack-of candy and nuts. The

ate.
I had an invitation to tour
Christmas dinners, but could ac-
cept but one. I spent my time
in the city with mv cousins, Mr.
and Mrs. Rosa Heath. Santa
brought to mv home many yalu
able presents. A fine parlor
heating stove, a King Bee Rotary
Washing machine, and many
other valuable articles too tedi-
ous to mention, but the one that
interested me the most was a fine
oair ot socks with a five dollar
bill in the foot of one of them.
I believe all my neighbors were
kindly remembered and we ajl
feel happy.
The New Year has found us
all in an optimistic mood 'and we
desin: to continue therein through
the whole^year. Everybody has
a good reason to be in good
spirits, plenty to eat and willing
to wear our old clothes until we
can make another crop with in-
dications in our favor for a bum
per crop, provided our modern
boys do not take the hookworms.
A few of our young married men,
who have the disease talready,
will ao doubt transmit the awfql
malady to their tuture posterity.
I will sometime in the future
prepare a receipe to cure the,
hookworms. The symptoms of
this ^malady commences: 1st A
desire to loaf around the city
2nd A cigarette in one corner ot
the mouth. 3rd Sitting on
goods box whittling with a ten
cent knife. 4th Pitching old
horse shoes and dollars. 5th
Chewing a plug of Battle Ax in
one day at the expense ot the
other fellow. 6th Hunting
o’possoms at night with the'
feminine gender.. 7th Eating
theiir regular meals at home
with indulgent parents whose
judgment is rather deficient.
8th. -Lying in the calaboose
without mon**y to pay their fine.
9th Ordering booze from
whiskey house, • and’ drinking it
in a prohibition district. 10th
Cussing the old man for being
too tight on his boy. Now young
ladies look out for those symp-
toms in the modern boys and
shun them as you would deadly
poison. * Now boys i f those
symptoms don’t strike you, just
pass it to the other tellow.

How thanktul we ought to be,
and we feel greatful f<ir the noble
men that banished ttye whiskey
from us and saved many poor
mothers from a life of sorrow.
We have started in on the year
