dinner WIN j. w. Mccoy, an Ola set
tier in the Forreston country, and
greatly enjoyed thehospitality, the
family consisting of husband, wife,
two sons and two daughters. After
dinner Mac hitched Mark Moseley
to the buggy and we attended the
funeral of Mr.. Lanier's son, aged
about Is years, who had succumbed
to an attack of typhoid fever the
night before. The burial was at
Glenwood cemetery. Driving up to
the residence of Uncle Hick Cheat
ham, Elmer Cheatham pitched me a
dollar for the renewal of |. w. Ro-
den's paper. Uncle Hick said he
heard a noise a few nights previous
which caused him to think that
something was among the Lang
shangs but an investigation revealed
the fact that his son, Elmer and
wife were the proud parents of fine
girl On Forreston l found C. S.
Baker hoeing cotton and Mrs. Ba-
ker and the baby gathering cucum-
bers. She told me she had put up
several gallons of pickles and had
about a gallon in her bucket. Charlie
said he had a cotton boil as large as
the end of his thumb
A. E. Hickman on Forreston 3,
was the first farmer l found who
said he was up with his work He
was looking out for some one to
build him barn. Spending the
night at Avalon the next morning /
met and renewed j. l.. House from
Italy, secretary of the F. U. of A. at
Avalon. On my way out toward
Lone Cedar, C. F. Gray was going
over his cotton with the hoe. J. H.
F. Page had gone to Barry to attend
to some thershing but Mrs. Page and
daughters were at home. From Lone
Cedar down toward the forks of the
creek crops look very we'll except
in the bottoms they are generally de-
stroyed. On Blooming Grove No 1,
Fl found w. H. Allen at the house,
but ready to return to his hoeing in
the field. His crop looked we'll. J. F.
Campbell on the same route was
gone west and probably looking out
locality to settle. 1t is to be hoped
however, that he may not find it for
Ellis county has already surrender
ed as many good citizens as she can
well afford to lose. Eli Ing and W. A
Lyon, said to be good farmers and
work but I met their wives and chill
dren, who are a little kin to me- At
the residence of Mr.. Ing l got there
a day too late, as Mr.. Lyon had cele-
brated his birthday the day before.
At old Bardwell the first man I met
was Matt Simpson and may his shad-
ow never grow less for that sub he
gave nae made me feel good / guess
| Dr. J. l.. Rains was at home and
when l asked him if he had time to
subscribe, very cheerfully responded
| with the dollar. He reported the
health Of the community at not the
very best and I was sorry to learn
that Mrs. Rains had the fever. I
very much missed one of the Good
win Bros, who had recently gone
west. On the way to Byron l spent
the night with Mrs. Duke and ate so
much. cat fish and turtle that l plum
ged into the creek the first time
got to water. Tom Duke, deputy
sheriff, was out on Official business,
but came IN for supper. By a circuit
GUS route I reached Bardwell and re-
| newed my old friend J. W. Render,
who was busy as a bee at the lum-
Der yard where he seems to be the
manager. though he did not tell me
SO and l don't know what position
he holds, I. arrived at Ennis a while
