What with the political rallies, the shows and the dances, Payson is a point where the stranger is sure to be entertained, and can ventilate and have his ideas ventilated whatever thev may be. The tramps on the Fourth made a respectable show ing as far as numbers .jn iTincernud. and it was noticeable that among that special class of people were those whose ideas and language were not exactly in harmony w ith their costume. It is the old story: They had seen better days. The home citizens, the strangers from afar off, those who partook of the hos pitality of tlie Jb rancis r.otel, win place that event among the most agreeable feature of the day. Our city marshal, Mr. Sargent, was around on the Fourth in that friendly, quiet way peculiar to himself, and kept everybody in a good humor. The last rallies will receive attention in my next letter, and peradventure I may be able to display head lines of an attractive appearance. Much sympathy is extended to Mr. John Betts for the loss of business he must sustain owing to the death of Mr. McIIatton's little boy , w h ich sad event happened at his place. The apple trees are in leaf again, but where the worms, as I call them, held sway, the fruit is missing. Yet. |
