Likes His “Dixie” Home; “Wouldn’t Near” Come Back.

Loxley, Ala., July 17, 1914. Dear Editors: Please find enclosed money order for $1.50, frlr whichpxtpnri my snih. scription to The Republican, I suppose I could get along without it, but as long as I am prospering as 1 am-now I shall .be glad to welcome it to our Dixie home. It’s like meeting old friends, which I am always glad to do, and would also be glad if some of our old, friends would locate here in our beautiful southland. We think we have a grand country here, and it is building up fast with good, substantial improvements. Many fine buildings are going up and good farms and homes made. Many splendid orchards are being planted. We are raising everything here that we raised in Indiana, and many more things that we couldn’t raise there. We raise two or three crops a -year on the same ground and big crops, too. Of course, we have to use fertilizer, but it pays to use it. While our markets are not as good as they might be; still, we manage to live and enjoy ourselves, and wouldn’t near go back north to ’live. I trust I am not imposing on your good nature by writing so long a letter, but I thought I should make some excuse for staying down here If you are ever down here come and see me Very respectfully, i GEO. W. MARSHALL.
