weddings toll come fashionable. The
supply Of silica Is certainly lnexhaust-
ihle. would not have been surprised
to find glass factory every few miles,
but did not see one. The country il
thickly settled. We were rarely out
of sight of q house, aud the houses
were generally open. The doors are
seldom locked, though no one may be
in sound OF the ordinary ahellor save
ut noon, the usual dinner hour, for let
me inform you, the inhabitants of Ne
vada county work. In fact, II there
was ever q set of people upon the hab-
liable globe who observed the script

these are the people. They are the
only people ever saw to whom work
seems to be . pleasure. They are
rarely sick, they have excellent appe-
tites, aud their sleep Is complete OBJ

| reached Bodcaw at 2:30 D. m,
nearly six hours out, with an excellent
buggy, good mule, and no mud; but
remember-sand, uphill. downhill, bot
tom and top. l soon found my BROTH
ers house, Il being adjacent to the
town. and you may be sure the meet
Ing was an enjoyable one. We had
not met for 23 years. lie did not
know me at first--uot until we had
conversed for a moment or Two. l
would have known him, as he weighed
about the same as he did when we
parted, he having observed the injunc-
tion above alluded to. The fact Is,
did not meet man during my stay In
Nevada county who had enough sur
plus adipose tissue on his anatomy to
oil a Wheeler Il Wilson sewing ma
chine. You can imagine the spectacle
your humble servant Clipping the beam
at S33) presented to the good people
OF Bodcsw, or Boughcough, as they
spell 1t In Texas, a little lower down
the stream.
Bodcaw 10 q town of two stores, Z
postofiice, a general assembly hall, i've
or six residences, and q doctor, who
does not rely altogether on bis prac'
tice, but takes hand In the laudable
but l must say not very profitable
avocation Of tickling Mother Earth
This doctor, | regret to say, l did moi
have the pleasure Of meeting, he beins
too busy with his farming pursuits
Bodcaw at one time had q saloon, bu
the good people abolished II, and now
; 1t has become the headquarters OF tn,
. farmers for miles around, who assem-
BILE there for their mail, do their shop
ping, and discuss matters OF interest
political and otherwise. Many O
these sturdy farmers, am sorry t,
say, have been led astray by polilica
demagogues, representatives Of tb
Populite craze; but | am satisfied tha
1t will not last long--certainly no
when they have In their midst fou
, such staunch Cleveland Democrats a
the merchant prince, Mr.. Isham Mack
the attorney, Capt. 7. X. Dunn, an,
the two ideal farmers, Prot. Geche
! and Mr.. Wilbur Mack. These gentle
men, like all thinking men, are o
opinion that II the Government dc
sires to put fictitious money In th
hands of debtors to liquidate their In
9 dcbtedness she could save time an,
expense by declaring all debts of
. She could do so with as much justic
!, to the creditors. Either would lea
to the same result-that Is, 1t woul
terminate all credit. No man woul
: allow another to become his debtor,
y he had TO take worthless legal tendel
: or have a legislative body to declar
4 the debt off.
: Now, Mr.. Editor, must close. Th
. good citizens of Nevada county hav
my best wishes, and those of Bodca,
8 not only my best wishes, but my graf,
Q full thanks for most enjoyable visi

q the happiest after all.
