Mountain Peak, Wyatt Venus and
Griffith get my attention for the past
week. They have good crops and are
in fine trim to receive missionary
in my line, On my way out. my
first stop is at D. c. Curry's. His
wife subscribes. or rather renews. for
they take our paper all the time.
There used to he lot of Currys in
Ellis county. but many OF them have
moved West, They we're Of our best
citizenship and | am told that those
who have gone 10 the West are do
ing well in their new homes, Mrs.
Thompson lives close. but | did not
see her, but her daughter. who is
now Mrs. Edgar Seay. told me to just
send the paper on. j d. Allgood is
fixing to go west, too He likes our
county and our people but Is look
ing for cheaper land. Our land is
getting SO high that about the only
way fellow can get any of it is to
inherit it. rg -... -..,..

Mr.. King and they live close |
spent the night there most pleasantly,
for he and his young wife pride
themselves on their hospitality. Next
morning / went by Mr.. Kings and
found one OF his little boys very sick
with slow fever. A little further on
was H. L. White and little son wrest-
/ ling with big field of cotton. He
needed pickers, but so do every body
else. His cotton is good and brings
! a good price and many people take
good deal of consolation in that |
now drove down to Mountain Peak
and into Capt Bellows gin yard. The
yard was full of wagons loaded with
cotton and 1.-The gin was humming.
When Capt. saw me he says. Come
! in, | am not at all busy and haven't
got a thing to do but talk to you. =
I told him that | had no time to fool
/ away as | was very busy and that
never allowed idlers to take up any
/ of my valuable time Capt. didn't
/ like my plain talk very much, but
/, went on running his gin night and
day and getting rich in the mean
time, At this gin l found quite q
number of Caps patrons waiting f0l
