the fountain pen accounts for the silence of the sassafras poet.

                                                                    Windy Hollow

    Well I suppose it is useless for us to try to explain here when by whom this place , namely
Windy Hollow, was found; it matters little now to relate, but judging from the immense vocabulary of the fraction of the people that reside in the said territory, and we are not just
able to learn yet what kind of language to call it, but we think it must be a sort of mixture of Spanish, German, Irish and Italian or some other brogue. One thing we do know, that is, they
are a very windy set of people and are always blowing wherever they go. And for this reason
we take the pleasure of comparing them to the wind. For no spelling can be had, no religious service  be held but what the wind blows hard the following week, that it seems almost
impossible to keep your hat on. So you see they are very windy, yes, exceedingly windy.
Nor is this all for no song can be sung, no story can be recited but what the person then
becomes their object of criticism. Now my dear, good people, do you know what kind of
people it takes to make a critic? Well, if you do not, we will tell you. It is a person whose
cranium only measures about one and a half to two inches from its top to the center of its
eyes, but  the worst of all is about the wind storm, it never came blowing in your face. We do
not know whether it is afraid or not, but it always blows when your back is turned. Here
below they will find a little service, that we think they should pay heed to.

   We think that just such people as this should be careful in what they are having to say.
   Lest some of these beautiful bright smooth days, They will dry up and blow away.
   Mr. C. V. Harden and wife were the Sunday visitors of C. C. Van Horn and family.
