EDITOR BOLIVAR BULLETIN:-Per
haps some of the readers of the Bull
LETIN share the same curiosity re
garding the "Wild and Woody
West" as did / and a few facts con
corning the Red Mans country will
be appreciated by them.
Arriving here at night, my frs
impression of this place was fal
from a favorable one, but daylight
revealed the fact that l was in g
promising little town of about 1000
or 100 people, situated &c miles
north of Red River, in a timbereG
portion of the country, much resem
bling our own Hardeman County.
As some might suppose, l die
not see the people wearing feathers
in their hats and occasionally Civ
ing war whoop; but plain, hos
pitable, industrious people, quietly
pursuing their daily avocations.
AS in all western countries, quite
number of the people are from
Tennessee and neighboring states,
thus imbuing this people with our
own manners and customs.
The land around this place is a
sandy loan, but about eight or ten
miles on the south and west is a
black land prairie country, rivaling
Texas III fertility and good crops.
On the north and east is a broken
section, consisting of combinations
of the Ozarks, in which both coal
and gold exist, and which will
doubtless be mined extensively
when governmental conditions adj
nit.
The corn crop here was good this
year, but drought extending from
July until the latter part of October,
cut the cotton crop short.
The digging of snake root seems
to be quite an industry here. Hun
dreds of pounds are brought in each
week, bringing price Of from 16
to 90 cents per pound. l saw a
wagon on the street here, loaded
with 99l pounds of black root,
which sold at four cents per pound.
Hides and furs bring quite an income
to the people living in the noun
famous district. Anything from a
skunk hide to bear skin is sold
here.
AutIers is the metropolis, so to
speak, of the southern portion of
the Choctaw nation, and of course
Choctaw Indians are plentiful here.
They seem to be a comparatively
harmless class of people, adopting
the white mans methods of living.
/ attended a Choctaw church on
Sunday and heard sermon in their
language, but not understanding a
word of it, could not pass judgment
on it; but took it for granted that
it was pretty fair sermon.
The government of the Indian
Territory is entirely in the hands of
Uncle Sam, and l am told that Nc
Kinley's rule here is just about as
unsatisfactory as it is in the Philip
pines. So when the Indian Terri
tory becomes state, which 1t is
soon destined to be, democracy can
safely count on it as being in her
folds.
Antlers has a United States Fed
eral Court, three churches, a good
protestant school, a Catholic con-
vent and many indications that ere
long she will be a thriving little

PLEASANT RUN.

The chestnut crop is failure but
hickory nuts are plentiful and crowds
of Youngsters roam the woods In
search of ''scaley barks.
We learn a wagon load of gentle
men from Bolivar went out nutting
last week and came back laden with
a half bushel of hickory nuts. We
don't know how they made a divis-
ion unless they ''drew straws" for
the nuts.

Fish Industry at Reelfoot
Lake.

Union City, Nov. I3.-It would
probably surprise a great many
people to know the extent of the
fishing industry on Reelfoot Lake
in this county. As every reader
knows, the lake was formed by an
earthquake in 1911. 1t Is forty
miles long and four to eight in
width, and there are places in it, the
bottom of which have never been
found. Besides the fish that spawn
and raise in the lake the annual
overhows of the Mississippi keep
it well stocked and the supply
seems practically inexhaustible.
There are 500 nets in the lake,

WE have never heard of

have been caused by misman-

Good Advice to Girls

l wish [ could say to all young
girls. in city or country, beware
of strangers. Never speak, es-
pecially when travelling alone, to
strangers, unless what they say
is said distinctly enough to be
heard by all persons sitting there.
The low voices of strangers speak
ing to young women or girls to
whom they have not been intro
duced should be regarded with
suspicion.
Another thing. Have no Sc
crets from your parents. Danger,
if net harm, begins with secrecy.
Be as open as the day. Your
father and mother are certainly
your best friends. If you some
times think they are not, you are
probably wrong; but even if right
While you are young 1T would be
much safer for you to have all
your acquaintance understood.
Sometimes strangers endeavor
to entrap young girls by adver-
Using that they would like to be-
gin a correspondence. This IS the
most common means of leading
girls astray. The awful results
of answering such advertisements
as they have been brought to my
knowledge by letter and personal
accounts, and through reforma-
tory and other institutions, would
arouse the American people to
such Indignation against the news
papers that admit such decoy
letters, that the Wretches that
edit them would be driven from
decent society. Never write a
letter to a stranger, nor one to
friend that would disgrace YOU
If it reached other hands than
those for which it is intended.
In almost every school there is
some girl bad enough to be in a
