DENVER, Coo.
EDITOR UNION TIMES:
Dear Sir:-Your interesting paper
seems to have no trouble in tioding
its way out here If la'e. wa, very
agreeable surprised last Monday
night to find TIE TINES of the
Friday previous waiting for me. l.
had usually been Wednesday before
the paper got here, though once be.
fore it had reached me on Tuesday
but never before had it mad, such
speed as to ,h US on Monday
That is almost as quick as 1 could
make the trip myself.
read with interest the various
letters from contributors at different
points in the county and hope they
may continue their good work, but
am very sorry that our worthy friends
L. IL. Gore and Il. b. have quit
giving US the interesting news of
their little bergI. l hope some one
will give US the news every week
from these points, for they arc Of
vast interest to me and I trust would
be for the host of TINES readers.
Well [ will try to tell little of
the country of Texas around the cap
itol, and to begin with will state that
it is the most peculiar in many re-
spects that 1 have ever seen. In
leaving the city Of Austin going cast
along the public highway the road
runs along the north side of the G ,l>
orado river, though the river is some
distance from the main road which il
called the Dunlap and Webberville
road, In fact you can hardly see
where the river is except at few
points until you get very ncar Web
berville which is about 20 miles fir, IN
Austin, there the town is buAt on
the BANKS of tho river, though the
banks of the river at this point are
much higher than the land out at the
foot hills two or more miles away and
the river has been all over the town
and washed away many houses
several miles away from town. But
to start at the city Of Austin and
traverse this country road twenty
miles is one continual panarama of
pisturesque view which the observer
could never forget, not because of
their grandeur, hideousness or mag
nificence but the varied contrasts s
which are ever changing at such a
rapid rate even if you arc only driving
at the rate of six or eight miles an
hour. The scenes change so fast
that you begin to wonder what you
will next see. The first thing that
claimed my whole attention after
reading the peculiar signs which l
have already spoken of, was very
large cattle pen or more accurately
speaking very large collection of
cattle pens just outside of the city on
the left of the road on the side Of a
rather long steep hill. These pens
will accommodate thousands of cattle
and in the fall and winter they are
we'll filed, but in March there we're
very few being fed there. The cat
tie are brought from all over south
ern Texas to be fa,tened there, as
this is the best farming Locality in
southwest Texas and feed is usually
very cheap here in the fall of the
year. All this hill where the pens
are is covered with the MOSQUITO
trees or as We Carolina people would
call it bush, but if you never saw one
Of these trees I bad better try to

prints the following:
Mrs. German, wife of cur county sur
veyor. and mother Of Mrs DR.. Cash Of
this city, who is now visiting relatives at
Rogers, Ark, was InOurned as dead two
weeks ago and passed through most Of the
latest fads of the decorum governing the
last sad rites, totally unmindful OF the
obseagies until she had arrived at Rogers
and saw the arrangement for her own
funeral. The experience was peculiar and
does not come to many persons as 1t
came TO Mrs. German. She left here two
weeks ago 10 visit a sister and other re-
Iatives at Rogers. AT Saltwater Mr.. Ger
man met her at the train and then sent
a telegram TO a sister at Rogers notifying
them that Mrs. German had started on
this train and TO look out for her. By
some means the telegram was Transcribed
enormously at the Rogers end and read
that the body of Mrs German was on the
train and 10 look out for It. The relatives
on receipt of the telegram, were plunged
into grief, but in the absence Of other In
formation began to prepare for the re-
eeption of Mrs Germans body The
scene. at the train when Mrs German ar
rived was sensational Unsteady Of receiv-
ing a welcome, she found her relatives at
the baggage ear waiting for the train men
to unload the long pine box. The hearse
was there ready TO receive her and the
relatives were in black and in sorrow
Suddenly sister raised her eyes. She saw
Mrs German making for them happy and
in good health. The shock was SD great
that the sister tainted, and for momeDt
excitement reigned about the little depot
No one was able TO explain the situation
Soon the sombre hue changed, the VeIis
weer taken off, the hearse was hastily
DISPATCHED from the scene and all became
settled in the opinion that either they
were the victims of a huge joke or
grievous error
Mr.. German in conversation at Still
water. said that Mrs. German had just
written the particulars TO him and he
was hurniliated and surprised that such
a mistake should occur. He said that the
telegram was written, and. he was sure
was sent correctly from saltwater. He
was very sorry that his relatives We're so
deceived and that Mrs. German was plac-
ed under such embarrassment
