FROM TEXAS.

Lots of cotton is being planted
in the last few days. Corn is up
and is a good stand, but looks
yellow, as the Arkansas boy says.
Hello, | thought you said the
wind didn't blow in Texas. You
are off of your box. | think if
you had seen the people chasing
their hats on the 9TH 81 this month
you would have thought that it
blowed. | have heard people
talk about certain persons being
green. | can take person that
really has got lots Of sense and is
right smart, take him out through
some ones wheat field here in
Texas and by the time he gets
through it he will look as green
as a gourd. l will tell you why.
Those little green bugs will get
all over him, and if he won't be
green | will pay for lying. The
bugs have ruined the oat crop in
parts IF Texas and are now work.
ing on the wheat, corn and cotton.
What will Texas do if they keep
this up? There is less work and
better roads where you have a
road tax. believe in a road tax.
| believe in having roads that a
person can travel all day and at
night he can rest with some ease.
That is one good part Of Texas,
they have good roads. 1t isn't
much trouble to have good TO ads
if the people just want them. 1t
is better on the people. After
you get them fixed up once they
are not much trouble after that,
So vote for a road tax every time
and keep it going. That is what
| say.

THINKING OF THE PAST.

How dear to my heart are the
scenes Of my childhood
When fond recollections present
them to view.
Our fathers and mothers, broth
ers and sisters,
And a great many others our in
fancy knew.
AS my mind goes back to those
early days
l think Of people, and l think Of
their ways,
| think Of the work that they
have done,
| think of the race that they have
run.
Of the many crosses they had
to bear,
VI tne glorious crO"H VioJ w
gone to wear.
think of the living, | think OF
the dead,
I think of the things that they
have said.
My memory floats back on the
breeze,
And dwelIs on brooks and rills
and trees,
On towering hills and deep ra-
vines
And many other early scenes.
Some of these are fond reflec-
tions,

SIDNEY SAYINGS.

Spring seems to have opened at
last.
Corn planting is the order Of
the day.
L. Arm, our noisy mer-
chant is parading our streets
shouting defiance to smallpox.
Emmett Dixon and Frank Wiles,
who have been attending the
Barren Fork College, are with US
again.
P. M. Wiles has made vast i'm
provements in the appearance of
his residence, having carried it
through a painting process.
Our young people are looking
forward with bright anticipations
tc the time when they can with
safety mix and mingle with the
outside world again.
We are glad to say that on next
Saturday and Sunday Rev. Pitts
will fill his regular appointment
here. Let US all take advantage
OF this opportunity and show our
appreciation Of the same by CIV
ing him a large attendance.
Smallpox in these parts will
soon be thing Of the past. 1t is
not spreading any and will soon
have gone through the families
where it originally started. II
seems that we have almost been
isolated for the past few weeks.
but where are the young people
who will not scheme a little under
such circumstances? Last Sun
day evening about two dozen
young people went a half mile
below town walnut hunting, and,
to see them enjoy themselves as
they did you would suppose they
cared little how long the smallpox
scare lasted.
