From Thanksgiving till Christmas we have had summer weather, peach trees bloomed, hickory buds swelled, Irish potato vines grew to nearly their full size, and the earth is green with the verdure of spring time. Fires were unnecessary for comfort even before sunrise on Christmas morning. We put this in type while it is fresh in the memory of the people to till [tell?] some northern fellow coming south next summer and finding the weather cooler than he left it, should challenge us to prove that this is not a colder country than Minnesota.

Railroad talk has been so common for the last two years that it has become a "chestnut," but all the disappointments that the people have suffered will not prevent the railroads from coming when they get ready. Although there are many false prophets, there are some true ones. "Where there is so much smoke there must be some fire." Although we have heard a hundred lies about when a road or bridge would be built or which road would come first, we still have an abiding faith that some of the roads will get here and that the bridge at Fort Smith will be built.

All parties indebted to Drs. Leming & Sanford or either of these gentlemen are respectfully requested to settle as early as possible as we are greatly in debt. It will be impossible to carry any ones account over this year. Remember us when you sell our cotton as we will call on you soon. Respectfully, Leming & Sanford.
