had not seen Sequachee News for
eighteen months until two weeks ago
when went to Ft Worth to visit cous-
in J. A. Lewis and cousin Mollie and
hustled around until got three copies
OF the dear old reliable saw several
familiar names of correspondents and
missed some. "Watchman" OF Tates-
Vile, was one missed What is the

old hogs that we're giving you so much

along since he joined the Odd Fellows?

Talking about wet weather back
there it seems good to think of especi-
ally to one that is in as big drouth as
we are We haven't had enough rain
here to put "a season in the ground
since the 22nd of October, 1908. 1t
rained enough to wet land about two
inches the 7th of March, about one
inch the 18th of April, and about the
same the 25th of June. That was the
last that we have had. The hot winds
struck us the 5th of July and harvested
most OF our corn for US. have so acres
in corn and think | will make enough
to do me- That is to fatten my meat
and feed six head of horses. Cotton is
hurting very badly now. With no rain
in sight it looks like it was setting in
for dry SPELL 1t rained nice show
er at Ft. Worth few days ago, but
with all our drouths, hot winds and
calamities am still great admirer of
Texas. My wife and | are having so
much better health here than back
there. 1t never enters my mind ever to
made my home east of the Mississippi
river. My opinion is that the best poor
mans home is in Arkansas. Enough
on that subject.
The health of the country is good.
Everybody is attending protracted
meetings and trying to serve the Lord
to the best of their ability. The Meth
odists are holding revival services at
our church near here with great sue
cess. Great numbers have professed
t faith in Christ, with great interest
shown by the congregation.
Will say to "Uncle Joe" of Caroline
Chopel, that sure enjoyed your letters
, and want you to continue to write the
News, You need not be surprised to
: hear OF s, H. getting married soon. He
has found his widow and counted the
expense in every way and thinks she
will do, so listen for the wedding bells
or the serenade bells.
Amos Biacken and family are doing
very we'll. He has good run of work
at Dallas.
