RIPLEY, TENN, June 81. 1909
Mr.. EDJToR--It may perhaps,
be a matter IL interest to know
what has become of your delegate
to Memphis, and ss see from the
papers and hear through other
sources Of the mishap Of my chap
erone while In Memphis, you may
conjecture from my silence that /
may be at the bottom Of the Mis-
sissippi. But not so.
After reviewing the beauty and
ohivslry of our Southland in
grand parade and the columns OF
hoary veterans l linger few days
to take in the sights of the city.
Will say here, that made many
pleasant acquaintance who spared
no pains or expense In honoring q
Virginian and giving him tie time
of his life. i then returned to
Ripley, fifty miles homeward, to
visit my nephews, who are at the
head Of Q large Business here. l
have been radiating out from this
point to view the vast bodies OF
level, stoneless and seemingly in.
exhaustible land that character
Ices this western border of the
State.

an here, Mr.. John Conner, an in.
teresting old gentleman SO years
of age, whose father emigrated to
this garden spot when he WAS five
years Of age, from Culpepper
county, Va. He 10 remarkable
man for his age, retaining full
possession of all his faculties, takes
al optOnistic view Of oil that is
trsnspiring in this glorious coun-
try OF ours. He owns fine estate
on the banks of the Mississippi
and be proposes to take me there

rkably preserved man wGs set
down IN the malariAl swamps and
jungles of the great Father of
Waters ct the tender age OF FIVE,
having since enjoyed perfect
health. He says these lands could
at that dsy be bought for 10 cents
per acre. Now tins land 10 cleared
up and much of 1t producing two
bales Of Gotten or one hundred
dollars per acre.
This land for vegetation and
fertility is said to surpass the val.
ley of the Mile and 1t doesn't seem
unreasonable. Four and five crops
Of fine alfalfa hay are being har-
vested, even that has not had
pillow in it, Is higher than my head.
Peaches, watermelons and all
kinds Of small fruit are abundant,
many from the almost spontaneous
productions of the earth flowing
into the pockets and as my old
friend says, man everywhere 10 re-
claiming the earth, which IN the
beginning God cursed to suit his
fallen condition.
