So young man if you are a friend to
him and you have not already
started to help build this monument
to his memory, I want you to start
now and show youx* manhood. You
can easily do so by shunning bad
company and using some good com
mon sense will-power. It has been
said time and again that Mr. Wat
soxx’s friends and followers were
nothing but the riff-raff of the coun
try. Os course this is nothing but
lies told by enemies and people that
don’t know what the truth is, for
they have never seen it. But any
way, let us go to work and improve
our already good Watsoxx citizenship
to the very highest degree, and walk
and lead such a life that people will
point us out and say, “There goes a
great Watsoxx young man. He is one
of the most honorable young men in
this whole section and a great credit
to his section and community.”
Young man, get your heart in the
right place and go to work. If you
are a Watsoxx man and help to make
this one of the greatest monumental
structures that has ever been built
in memory of one of our greatest
living heroes —let me switch off to
one side just a little right here and
say how strange it seems that some
people can and readily do break
their church vows, and marriage
vows and freely mix and mingle
and associate with people that prac
tise these things, and call themselves
ixx fine company. Oh Lord! How
they sniff and turn up their nose at
the man that happens to go into a
party primary and fails to stick to
the nominee. Will some one please
tell me who is the most rotten old
hypocrite in that bunch?
Mr. Watson, go on with the great
fight against the wolves in sheep’s
clothing and remember that Daniel
was cast into a den of lions and
came out without a scratch, and
something plainly tells me this will
be youx* fate. But the poor old lions,
in my opinion, are going to get
scratched like h—l, and they justly
deserve it. Your friend,
W. J. WINGATE.
