ind that cannot do without my pa
per. Ii Is like letter from an old
friend. Am sorry my name had to
drop from your roll, even Tor short
while, hope 1t will not occur again
while you continue to get up such a
splendid paper. The new DEMoCRAT is
not to be compared with the old in my
estimation.
1t may interest some of our old Pope
county friends to read few lines from
this part of Texas. Will say that we
have had an unusually wet and disa-
greeable winter. Much stock has died
for want of feed and protection from the
cold. One man lost one hundred head,
all he had in one Of his pastures.
Stock are so cheap you can hardly find
man interested enough to look ut .
COW much less buy one. BAD weather
has held Oh so long but few oates are
sown yet. We have had few fair
days and the prospects are for some
settled weather just now II so there
will be worlds OF Texas land torn up by
pillow and harrow the next few weeks.
We have good farming country here.
A country in which all thrifty, cner-
getic farmers can surround themselves
with the necessaries, comforts, and
many of the luxuries Of life.
We meet great many from the State
and quite good many from Pope coun-
ty scattered through the country. 1t
is gratifying to know that they make
good citizens. If there are others who
contemplate trying the Lone Star, we
invite them to come. Our latch string
Is always out to our friends. Love to
all and success to the DEMOCRAT and its
editor. DAVID YANcY, Jr.
