HARVE GOT HIS PAPERS FIXED.

HAD TO TAKE WHOLE D FAMILY TO TOWN WITH HIM, HOWEVER! ~ Harve Robinson, former lintoype operator of the Republican, has at last got his questionnaire filled ou + and has resumed his work as a farmer way dmyn in the land of sunshine near Liberty, Miss. We extract the following from a personal letter written by his mother, and which was. not intended for publication: “Harve received his questionnaire Monday. He went to town with our signatures but the attorney said we had to be present to be sworn, so today Lottie and the whole d family got ready to go. I told Lottie it was like going to a Fourth of July celebration once every year or so. We liked to never got ready. Left the baby with Mrs. Lea and she never woke. Harve said he believed it would have been easier going to war, than to get thaf thing off his hands.« We had to take Mr. Lea with us and he was in the midst of rendering lard. He butchered five hogs this morning. He gave us a big mess of ribs, back bones and a shoulder. The Southern people are very generous, more so than the Northern people as a rule. It has turned nice and warm again. It doesn’t stay cold here very long. Harve and Robert were clearing off some new land yesterday and Will was plowing. Dorothy and I walked way out in the field and watched them. It’s the first time I’ve lad a chance to look at the place. I couldn’t see the end of the land. It seems such a big place. Will was plowing land that had lain idle eight or ten years, just because there was too much to handle. It will make fine cotton land.”
