DEAR EsGIE: Having seen
several letters in the EAGLE
from Oxford soiourners in other
states. | thought perhaps . f-v
lines from this part Of Texas,
would be Of interest TO some of
your readers.
Ny mother and l., came out
several weeks ago. Taking the
Iron Mountain route, We left
Memphis at : r. n; and reached
Georgetown, Texas, a distance
OF about 600 miles at = r. NJ.
the following day, making the
trip in the short time OF twenty
four hours.
We passed through the great
er part of Arkansas in the night.
Although we did not see mnch
of the country, still We suppos-
ed IL to be taken up pretty well
with ssamps, from the melodi-
Gus voices OF the frogs which
seemed as though they had gath
cred Mt every station in great
numbers to screnade the pas
sengers.
We entered the Lone Star
state early the next worning.
AS We passed through the north.
eastern part of the state where
the rains had done fully as
much damage TO crops us in
Mississippi, | began to think
that the Texas people would get
out Of Que job this tall. that OF
gathering crops. About noon,
We struck a dry section and for
a part of the way had about rs
hot and dusty a ride ms | ever
experienced. Also through that
section | saw some of the pref.
test peach orchards I ever have
seen Acres of trees set out in
checked rows and hardly q weed
or bunch of grass to be seen
among them presented a beau
tiful picture.
Further on, when we reached
the black land prairie country
II seemed that surely this must
be the garden spot of Texas if
not of the world, Wide green
fields of corn and cotton which
seemed to vie with each other
to which could have the
healthiest and greenest look,
here and there brown spots of
brown stub5le where oats and
wheat had been cut and shock
ed, reminded one of The land
that tiOweth with milk and
honey.
We lef Georgetown after a
weeks stay with relatives aud
came down here into Hayes
