Protracted Meeting at Red Oak
Grove, Mr.. Morgan goes
on, a Visit to Texas
For a Month.

Excuse my writing on Sunday
butt want you to get this for thi
weeks issue of your paper, if it,
worth the space.
Some farmers III our section have
been able to do but very little worl
in their crops now for nearly three
weeks, on account of so much
rain. While some are having tt
put weights on their plow stocks tt
be able to plow up the grass. The
clay lands in this section, strange tc
say, vet true are in need of rain,it
having been two weeks Saturday
since any rain. except very light
showers. Crops in the sandy lands,
just on the edge Of the clay belt,
are in some cases in a bad fix, es.
peciaHy cotton, but corn exception.
ally good where it has had proper
cultivation.
Well, / would be very glad if our
supervisor or one of the commits
sioners could come down and ex-
anime the Modoc bridge, for if
something is not done omit pretty
soon the county will have damage
suit on hand. The bridge is really
in dangerous condition.
Did you, Mr.. Editor, ever know
of three preachers of the same name
kbeing in a protracted meeting at
the same time. Well, such will be
the case at Red Oak Grove dur
ing the week after fifth Sunday i'll
this month. Three Busseys--
George the old, true and tried horse
|-Abiah, his son, just well broke to
harness, and P. r.. Jr., just to be
hitched up with harness on. Can't
you come? / will be away if no
proyidential hindrance occurs. ]
leave for Texas tomorrow on a
visit to my son who visited me this
Christmas gone, and while here he
and his brothers and siste:, decided
that father needed a little rest and
a change. So they said / must
visit my son irI Texas at their ex-
Fnense. G 81 D less them q es,sfath::
Ier viii go, but 4 quite different d1i f from
what I had hoped. a letter re-
eeived from my son'swife saying it
was thought my boy had consurnp-
ton, and yesterday another letter
came confirming the thought. | go
to my boy hoping that tits not SO
bad as feared.
I will try to let you hear from me
each week that / am gone, but, my
dear friend, month without read
ing the old Advertiser is a little
more than l am willing to undergo.
So you will do me great favor to
send me copy, commencing with
this weeks issue, till I get back, to
old Edgcfeld again. For the bene-
fit of any who may want to know
of my whereabouts my address will
be: Mexia, Texas, r. T. D. 4, care
of D. J. Morgan. Expect to be
gone about month, if all keep well
at home, but may be away longer,
or even notso long.
Tell the candidates there happens
to be no little babies at my home at
at this time, my Youngest being now
4 years old, but there are plenty of
babies in the neighborhood. Some
pretty close kin to me, and if they
must kiss babies, better kiss them
before they get to my house. But
it is open to all deserving candi-
dates while am away. Yes, sir, l
am in favor of prohibition state
wide, United States and worldwide.
Better, far better, that some may
suffer and even die where relief
might come from wEiskey than for
hundreds, yea thousands, of homes
be blighted by men, and even wo-
men sometimes, from the abuse of
strong dring. But must close now
for / find that my mind is inclined
to run away with me. God bless
you and sour paper! Long may
you both live.
