Hurray for Holdeman who will run for President in 1924
on the Republican ticket. He will have to move back to
Ohio first, for all three presents are from Ohio.
Bruce's brother, W. H. We are sure you will get as many
votes as Cox did in his race for the same office.

Talk about the Chautauqua's ______ picture show, the
fair, and all other entertainments you can think of but
the crow supper last Wednesday night was away ahead of
anything we have had in this neck of the woods for a
long time. The menu:  first course, cocktail without a
kick[,] celery, olives, and pick[les]. Second course,
chicken, dressing, mashed potatoes, and bread and
butter. Third course[,] salad[,] wafers, cake and cream
and one, two, or three pints cups of coffee some took
one cup some two and Dock Hilty took three one with
cream and two without. Any way everyone was royally
entertained and you could not tell a republican from
[sic] a democrat or a K. or P. from a democrat or a K.
of P. much more but will have to leave a little for the
editor.

Over in the south west part of the city is a hill and
this hill is not known to many of the residents in our
town or surrounding country. You can stand on the
elevation and look down on the valley and see the Ohio
Electric cars rolling over their tracks in either
direction and view the melifluent Plum Creek winding its
way along the tracks and its waters flowing rapidly on
their way to Hog Creek. This hill is known as Pious hill
and reminds one of a place where a man resides that got
a few votes for president once that called the place
Trails End. This Pious hill is occupied by Dock Williams
but was named long before he moved there or it might
have gotten a different name. Dock and Sam Williams are
brothers but when Sam opens his mouth he says something
but Dock is always spouting nad never tells much of
interest only when he is talking politics or teaching
Sunday school class. Dock is a welchman by birth and a
democrat by politics he cannot help his nationality, but
he could make a big improvement on his politics. He had
a nice big bunch of nice looking kids with the except of
one that looks a little sour sometimes and he and his
family furnished ten votes for Cox. The children allbut
the one mentioned look like their mother.

We are not a bit surprised when we learned that G. B.
Garner D. C. of West Cairo had the misfoture to ditch
his auto a few days ago but Mrs. Garner should have our
sympathy for the injuries she received in the wreck.
This man has always been a little careless in his
driving even before automobiles came into use. He would
drive colts that would travel with two feet half of the
time and think nothing of it. I have held a grudge
toward this man ever since he united me in marriage as I
think I got the worst end of the bargain.

All of Lillie Benroth's sons and daughter and
daughter-in-laws and grandchildren visited her last
Sunday. It was a home coming day and all seemed to be
enjoying themselves. This is the right thing to do boys
go often with well filled baskets for I know your mother
will enjoy it and I know it will not be much trouble for
you are all ......
