FEBRUARY 4, 1860

Since Noah didn’t know what to write for the newspaper, but he wanted to show his support for the two new young girls that had taken over the place he decided to submit a hobbie article. He didn’t really have any hobbies, but Jimmy’s favorite was target practicing. So he wrote up what he thought about Jimmy and his guns and took it to the newspaper office.

"Hello there!" Noah said as he came up to the PEG.

Melissa was sitting outside watching the town folks walking through town when a darkie came walking up to her. "Hello!" She smiled and stood up to greet her visitor.

"I’m Noah. I work for the Pony Express. I have an article that I would like to submit for the paper." He said as he smiled at the thirteen year old girl.

"That’s great! Jacy my sister will take all the articles she can get. Do you know Jimmy?" Melissa was more intriqued by her visitor now that she knew he worked for the same company as Jimmy.

"Yes, I do. He’s talked about you and your sister and I saw the ad in your first paper about people handing in articles. This one is about Jimmy."

"Really!! May I see it?" Melissa eagerly looked at the paper that Noah was holding.

"Sure!" Noah handed her the article. Melissa quickly read it and then reread it again.

"This is great! I love it." Melissa dug into her pocket and pulled out some money. She handed Noah two cents for that is what they had decided to pay for articles. "If you write any more articles about Jimmy please bring them in or any other articles, too." Melissa quickly added.
