Editor News
1t affords me pleasure to see a
good deal in your columns from
this State; all of which goes to
show that when a Kentuckian
leaves the land of his birth. he
either heads for heaven or Car
roll county, Missouri.
l feel grateful to Ed Cabell for
the nice things he said of me and
this region, and hereby tender
grateful acknowledgment.
The fertility of this soil is of a
high order, the people are kind
and hospitable; and the sight of
fields carpeted with clover and
blue grass; together with myr-
lads of cattle. sheep hogs, mules,
horses and poultry, easily classes
this as a region of peace, plenty
and prosperity.
Bran White, my brother,
doesn't consider a hog worth
killing that does not balance the
beam at above 500 pounds; and
has killed several lately. At
present his wife is in bad health,
and is at Excelsior Springs for
treatment. This morning Bran
and l. with Leslie, Russell and
Eugene White, mounted a surry
to which were hitched two fiery
coursers, and started to Mande-
vile Sunday School. The har-
ness broke and team bolted. AT
ter running two hundred yards,
the tongue broke, the vehicle
capsized, and we were dumped.
Bran and Eugene jumped out;
Russell and Leslie rolled in the
dirt, and | remained intact. The
surry is in condition of the one
boss shay, and no casualties,
otherwise, except broken harness
and a few bruises on Russell.
But we went on to S. S., with
Russell hopping.
Not meaning to boast of my
relat ons, / wish to say Bran has
made good and has a worthy
family. His son. Ben F. White,
holds a good position at Carroll
ton, Mo. His daughter, Lula,
has fine position in Chicago,
Iii. Russell has held good jobs
in Chicago, ILL.,, and Palm Beach,
Florida. Mayme is a very bright
industrious girl; and a veritable
queen of song, as well as a skill
ed pianist. Leslie is a good,
bright, Industrious boy. Jessie
