Miss, never did pack my belongings and
move until I was married, and then
moved to a home of my own. In 1893
landed here in Lamar County, Texas
with just enough money to run us a year,
but we had enough boys at home to a
brass band, and their father was then
able to take the foremost row and say
Come on boys" We were blessed
with agood crop the first year. We be-

We would make some money over and
above a living every year. We got

acres, with a good comfortable house
on it. After renting and living in sorry
houses a while, | was in a fair way to
enjoy the benefits Of a better one, but
as | said in the outset, | had had diff
culties. In 1900 my husband died, lesv-
ing me $500 behind. By that time my
four largest boys were gone, leaving
me with five youngest children to pay
out the home and make living. The two
oldest boys who were at home were
just getting large enough to do mems
work on the farm. This is the way we
managed to pay out: We raised u /
own corn and hay, also raised our 0 wn
meat to do and some to sell every year.
At the same time / depended largely
on my chickens and eggs to help out
and sold butter. Canned my own fruit.

CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR

There is not the least doubt
Of much figuring and consulting
going on over the State as to the
candidates for governor in the
next State election. interests
seems to center largely around
that to the exclusion of all other
State officers. A long list OF
probable candidates has been
mentioned but is being gradually
simmered down to a reasonable
basis. Among the latest to be
mentioned is Mr., Charlie Scott
Of the Delta and a very popular
man. We are of the opinion,
however, that he will not be 9
candidate by reason Of some
constitutional prohibition. It is
safe to say that the following
will be candidates; Sisson Of
Montgomery county, Kincannor
of Lowndes, Thomas Of Washing
ton, and Noel Of Lexington. i
is patent the Delta will endeavol
hard to make 4 candidate from
that section win and q warm
fight may be anticipated, Il

reason why peace should be

Nj. Williams Speech.

BY special Invitation Hon,
John Sharp Williams addressed
the Lee County Cotton Growers
Association and the citizens Of
the county on Saturday last ii
this city.
A splendid audience Of ladies,
farmers and business people
generally greeted the minority
leader IN this, his first visit te
Lee County. Mr.. Williams was
introduced by Hon, L. T. Taylor;
1.-THE Hon. j. M. Allen. who served
with him for many years in con-
gress, also in a neat speech testi-
lied to the honesty Of purpose
and splendid record of Mr.. Will
Hams as a representative in
congress at all times and under
all circumstances. Mr.. Williams
at once entered upon a discussion
of the industrial problems Of the
South.
It was apparent from the begin
ing that the distinguished speaker
was thoroughly conversant with
his subject. His description of
the historical development of the
South's great staple cotton, was
interesting and instructive; and
his plea for Investigation Of
crops was forceful and con-
Unlike most public speakers
who essay to advise the farmer,
Mr.. Williams is'himself farmer,
an1 is therefore personally con-
cerned in all that pertains to the
Welfare of the agricultural class.
eS.
Many supposed that a speaker
80 distinguished for political
leadership as is Mr.. Williams,
allude in some way to
political questions, but he wisely
avoided politics, and in doing SO,
1eld the sympathetic attention
his audience throughout his
address,.
Mr.. Williams is a pleasing
'peaker and impressed his hear
RS with his great learning and
lis sincerity of purpose.
