Stay IN ALABAMA, YOUNG MEN"
Cameron. Tex, July Ii, 1897.
State Herald:
In your last issue you had short item
headed, Shay In Alabama Young Men,"
and l will give the same advice. There
is not anything here ITO induce young men
who expect to work for a salary. There
are more MEM out of employing MT here
than in any town you can find in Ala
bama thai is, men who work around
town, such as bookkeepers, clerks. car
penters, etc Farm hands can generally
get work up to ms time OF the year, and
always in the fail picking cotton, but they
can't gel. any more fer 1t than they can
in Ala bama and can live cheaper there
tha.r they can here. On the streElts you
can see often a eozen or more carpen-
tors, who have nothing 10 do, and barely
get work enough to do to give their fam
HES some hing to eat and not much at
that; and other laborers just as bad, If
not worse. But when hard hines get too
close to some of them they can go into the
country and get so cents a day for heir
work; that is. a year like this has been,
a wei year for Texas. Last year 1t was
almos. impossible for laborers to get farm
work, because 1t was so dry, and lot of
them suffered for food. q have known of
able men offering to work for their board,
and Then couldn't got work. But it has
been different this year; they were in de-
mana. Inc time ms passed Tor young
men TO come to Texas. Twenty years
ago fine lands could be bought for from
81 to $3.50 per acre, but now these lands
cannot be bought fer a cert less than
$25 or $50. / havesknoWn of unimproved
land being sold for 50 cents per acre.
There are men who came here twenty
years ago without anything, except them
selves. who are independent now; but
chat time has past, and there are men
who came here a few years ago with
money that haven't go a cent. and are
locking for work, and can't find 1t. But
they come yet, from every state in the
urion. All think that if4Ihey have money
CROUCH to get 20 Texas they will have an
opportunity Ito ma Ike let more soon after
they get here, bull how many have been
disappointed? No person Knows since
there are 50 many coming here. III is said
that two-rhirds of he people in this coun-
ty dMilam) are from Alabama, and I am
pretty sure 1t is fact. The most of them
are from north and south Ala bama very
few from the black belt. My advice to
the young ard old who are doing mod
era ely well is Stay in Alabama"
gave up good job in Alabama to come
to Texas to take a sorry one, and l am
net alone. All of those who don't be-
lieve this statement let them come and
see, is all / can say. Alabama is good
enough for me. JULIUS PETERS.

THE MOTHERS LOVE.

You may search this wide world through;
This world with its sorrows and bot her.
For friend who is tender and .true:
You can find none SO true as the mother.
The sister may shcw her affection and
None may seem more kind than, a
brother, fss.ss-s
Still, the purest of love, kin to heaven
above,
Dwells in the breast of a mother. -
The sisters affection transient may be;
The brothers transferred to some other;
Even a wife's love may change. or other
wise fee; ..55.
But unchanged is the love of mother
No gem lies hid under the ocean, go =
:. No treasure is found on earth, q . s. 81
So rich or so pure as the devotion - 81
Which the heart of the mother gives
birth. a.
Misfortunes their dark sorrows may bring,
Or ingratitude stab like knife -
Still the love of the mother forever will
To the child to whom she knows she gave
life.
