You always was so deer to me I hope you will sune be deerer. You know I never hinted nothin about marriage and I never meen too —take your own time for that. I shall always remember the old sayin procrastination is the tbeef of tynie, but mortber sea nothin sbould bo dun iu a burry but kitchen flees.

Truly I can feel for the mbrtel Watts when he sez—- . “ ‘The rose is red the vilets blew, . Sbugars sweat and so are you.’ Mother sez matrimony is better to think on than the reality.—l,remain t'U death or marriage, your own sweet caudy, 1 i. “ Mary Ann. ‘■N.B; l —Triad a kussin married last month, ■who sez there aint no true enjoyment but in the married state.,.
