The little caravan would sometimes
find good accommodations; at one
place they had rye coffee, made by
burning rye almost to burning.
This substitute was a poor one to
David Passing through Spring
field, they visited the hospitals aud
found some acquaintance. Young
Gentry Of Paris. Mo-, had been
wounded so severely rs to require
the amputation of one of his legs.
He looked so pale yet smiled SO
cheerfully when Dayid's father
gave some Of theSexcellent food
David's Aunt Margaret had pre-
pared That was his last place on
earth; he died in a few weeks.
Going south from Springfield
they passed over creek, when
suddenly the horses were covered
with flies. This was the battle
ground of Wilson'S Greek, fought
one month before. A long row of
graves was along the creek and
paralleled to it. The bushes and
trees gave evidence of the conflict.
while the smell of the dead horses
and mules still fingered. David
got out and cutting a bush would
rub the flies from the frantic horses
for they lowered over them like a
swarm of bees. Relief was felt
when that half hour was passed.
Passing over the 0zarks on the
right and left a variety of scenery
was enjoyed that etfaced the battle
ground scene.
When Arkansas was reached the
pines began to show themselves
and on the right and left the Ar
kansas pine log cottage with solid
board windows, and often clap
board doors could be seen. After
crossing the Arkansas river, the
course was southeast to Camden,
then south to Louisiana.
Sometimes the host gave the
travellers rest and refreshment free
aud great was the variety of the
bill of fare. The huge pine for
ests were lonesome; in several
places tornado had Ieveled a
space for a few hundred yards to a
mile wide. The huge bulk of dirt
held by the roots showed the pow
er of the storm.
KNOX and Robert we're as happy
when they saw the live oak and
magnolia" as if they had met per-
sonal friends. While travelling by
the side of the bayous, David no.
ticed the churn bottom cypress
and watched to see if he could see
any evidence that they grew from
the turned up roots, called cypress
knees. Though he saw thousands
he never saw but one that had a
green sprig on top. Coming to
Monroe, a beautiful town built of
white frame houses, the Grays
went to their home The rest
went to Mr.. Faulk's where David
enjoyed riding ON the Washita
river in a dug-out but as they
were canoes dug out of pine log
they turned over so easy it requir-
ed constant watching TO keep right
side up.
