in your valuable paper, l will write

! have located in Freestone coun-
ty, on the II. & I. c. X. r., TWEEN
ty.two miles south of Corscana. Our
town, Workman, is situated in a
beautiful prairie. The lands are
very fertile. Some are sandy, while
others are black, and range in price
from $40 to $50 per acre.
The staple of this country, has
been, formerly, cattle. 1t is fenced
up in large tracts, but the grass is
somewhat giving away, and the large
pastures are being converted into
farms. regret that l did not move
to this country thirty years ago. All
the old settlers of this country, who
have used Industry and economy are
in good circumstances. Our town
has a population of about 500 inhab-
itants, and has grown very rapidly
for the last twelve months. We have
a college building nearing compile
ton, and expect to have a tirst-class
school in the near future.
Society in this part of the country
is first class The Episcopal Meth
odist, Protestant Methodist, Mission
airy Baptist, Cumberland Presbyte-
rian, and Primitive Baptist, all have
church organizations in our town,
and we can say behold how good
and how pleasant for brethren to
dwell together in unity
All seem to realize that Christians
partake of the same spirit, are actu-
ated by the same hope, and are tray-

What about politics? All Demo
cratic. Democracy very largely in
the majority.
Ny grandson, Lee Satterwhite, is
now editor of the Workman Demo-
crat. He boards with me, which gives
me opportunity to read a great many
papers; bu the PICAYUNE is sought
for and read with more interest, by
all the family, than any other one.

If any one of the readers of the
PICAYUNE spent last Friday night on
the Carouse creek without sleeping

they have some idea how this writer
felt last Saturday morning.
Elijah hurry and Albert McGough
tell me that while fishing on Carouse
last week, they hung a turtle with
one of their hooks which must have
been q monster. They didn't meas
ure or weigh it, but said it was at
least Z feet in length and would have
weighed $50 lbs. They shot at its
head at close range with Is buck
shot without fatal results.

that the South is entitled either to
the speakership or to place on the

will probably be either Representa-

never for political preferment and

Senator Stewart is reported as saying:
If 81 4 grains of pure siiYer-the amount
contained in the standard dUllar-could be
exchanged without cost for dollar in coin
there would be no difference between the
market price and the coin value: 25.S grains
of gold can now be exchanged for q gold
dollar, consequently the market price of
% S grains is 81" The difference between
the market value Of 3714 grains of pure
silver and of 25.S grains of fine gold is about
% cents If the Government declares that
371A grains of silver is 81, and coins all the
silver that IS offered on that basis, 1t will do.

gold for 81. Gold bullion at present prices,
compared to silver, would not be turned
into dollars iOr the simple reason that its
currency value would not be greater than
that of q dollar, the bullion value OF which
is % cents less. The free coinage of silver
dollars would necessarily reiesate gold to
the rank of a commodity, and unless the two
metals come together gold will have TO be
purchased for certain purposes. With sill

would rise by about the difference between
gold and silver in the legal ratio. The
owner Of silver would get a silver dollar for
SIX grains Of silver, bat that dollar would
have no greater purchasing power than rs
cents worth of silver bullion now has. If
the silver men generally would accept the
policy which is designed to raise silver to
an equality with gold, in the legal ratio, the
