Well, my old Marion County COM
rades, thought, if you will excuse
me, would like very much to address
you again.
We have just had a good rain and
a ''norther" right on top of it. The
first killing frost fell here few
nights ago, and the cotton was killed
for sure
Bob Steward was digging those
yams as sold Bachelor" returned
from Edgewood at noon today. and the
water ran from both corners of his
mouth when he saw them, for they
''sho did look good"
Demps d. Stewart was visiting D.
W. Foster this afternoon.
J. G. Boydston, formerly of White
side, will move four miles north of
Will 8 Point shortly.
I read an editorial in the Wills
Point Chronicle last week where those
people who had decamped from the
Free State will miss their favorite
diet, Vanzandt Ribbon Cane Syrup,
because there won't be more than en-
ough raised to supply the home trade.
Well, thought at the time and still
think that if they were all like myself
they would not care. The good old
fashioned sorghum cane 'lasses' with
butter we'll stirred in and served with
hot biscuit is the stuff for the Georgia
Niger and me.
Well, Mr.. Bracken, had heard that
you came to Texas, but did not know
in what part of the state you had To-
Gated until was reading your letter
in the last issue of the sold Relia.
BILE - You mentioned Capt. Johnston
and Idigging coal in the coal mines al
Etna. with reference to the hail storm
at San Angela the first of last June,
and it reminded me of week Johns

same bed. The second night Johnston
walked me about midnight. He wa
standing up over me and was pulling
me up by my head asked him wha
he was doing and he told me l hat
Just walked him up and that he hat
been dreaming that big piece of Stat
had fallen on me and that while b.
y was nearly pulling my head off h
thought he was lifting the slate off o
g me. We lay back down and after m,
NERVES had got quiet l went back t
g sleep, and was again awakened tw
hours later by Johnston pulling me GU

L what was wrong and he told me ha
again awakened him from somnam
y bulistic dream. This time the slat
had fallen over me in such name
It as not to press me, but that there wa
barely space enough for him to dra
l. me out by the feet. 1t is needless fo
me to say that we slept in differen
It beds during the remaining nights c
my stay
Mr.. Bracken mentioned the Interul
80 ban car line running through Airing
