A Letter from Texas.

DELEoN, TEX, April Eli see
that my letter did not land in the
waste basket and | will try and
write again. We are having good
health in this part OF Texas. The
farmers are highly pleased with
the prospects we have for a crop
out here We are having lots OF
rain, corn looks fine, cotton is
finer. We are working out our
corn, have our cotton most all
planted, oats and wheat are fine.
There are a great many planting
lots OF goober peas to bale up for
hay, they are fine for horses and
COWS, some thrash them and ship
them.
We had a hard hail storm the
last of March. which did lots of
damage, beat the roofs Of three
houses and broke out windows
panes and killed chickens, | had
nine window panes broken out
and a ball on my lightning rod
5ursted and most of my fruit
beaten off and gardens was badly
damaged, but our garden is look
ing real fine again. | will have
fresh potatoes and English peas
for dinner Sunday if nothing hap
pens to them.
will say something about our
churches and schools in this part
of Texas. We have about 80 or
100 members at st. Joe Mission.
cry Baptist Church, we are doing
our best to make our preacher
look smiling every time he comes
We pay him every month, he
breaches every fourth Sunday in
each month. Our school num-
bers about 100 scholars, the prin-
cipal receives SO To $50 and the
assistants $50 to SEQ per month.
So you see that We are willing TO
let the other fellow live, we know
that a good salary will get good
teachers.
! Well / have just received THE
EAGLE and looking through i,
see that you are having lots OF
rain out there again this year.
am in hopes that you will not
have as much this year as you
did last year, for when | was out
last July | saw nothing but water
from the time l got there until
left. 1t put me in mind of the
pear Of 1875 up on Tallahatchie
River on DR.. Collins place, they
said that the geese would swim
along behind the dropper and
pick up the corn as fast as one
could drop it.
i would like so much to see the
Holder Dots. Where is T. W. A
oh yes, he is hewing down the
corners for Vardaman. Hurrah
for Vardaman!
For fear that this will land in
the waste basket, l will ring off.
Success to the dear old EAGLE
and its many readers, boys come
on with all of the news in old La

LATEST SCHEME OF THE
"COMMON-CAUSERS."

The opposition to Governor
throughout the entire
state never tire Of getting up
some kind OF scheme to Aid their
and to do injury to
the cause Of Governor Vardaman.
Even the hopeless minority in
nearly every community in the
state, and the "common-causers"
are in the hopeless minority in
nearly every hamlet In the state,
are turning every stone against
every man who esponses the
cause OF Governor Vardaman.
They are going to do their best
to send to the next Legislature
men who are opposed to Varda-
man and in the event they can
not get an anti-Vsrdsman to run
for either representative or sena-
tor, then they will try TO get one
who will not take any stand, a
man they can use to perhaps
more advantage.
An out and out anti Vardaman
man has very little show in Mis-
sissippi politics in this campaign,
for the reason that the people
have had enough of such things
az the late "secret caucus" and
they will not risk any man whose
politics are not well known.
| Beware of the man who plays on
both sides Of the fence in this
campaign, you find them in eve
ry county almost; he expects to
get the entire vote oil the COM
Line against vardaman and then
will try to get other votes Oh 9TH
er combinations. Ii a man is
for Percy, Alexander or Varda-
man, let him say so, the people
are entitled to know where he
stands. In the last Legislature
they thought their Legislators
would stand by the wishes of the
people, but in many places
throughout the state the wishes
of the people were completely
Ignored. The voter must moi
forget this, let him not be de-
ceived. 1t is a we'll known fac'
that Gov. Vardaman's friends
alwas ad, coates his policie:
boldly; a man who will not dc
so may be put down as an "anti.'
