Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Houston, TeXas,-James Ferguson,
aged AZ, farmer, country banker ard
novice in politics, has during the last
two months come rapidly to the front
as a factor in Texas politics.
Ferguson started poor and has gain.
ed modest fortune by his own eff
forts; he says he figures his cam
paign for the nomination will cost
him $4,000; that nobody can con-
tribute a nickel to his campaign fund;
that he has that amount handy to pay
his own bills and another $4,000 for
another campaign, if he takes a no
tion to run again. A man who says
he listened a long while for a call,
but didn't hear IT," 50 just decided to

On our way from Madison, Ill, to
Fulton, we had a stopover of two
hours in Mexico. On account of
the excessive heat we were at a
loss how to put in the time be-
tween trains. After lunch at the
old Hoxsey and we mustered up
all the resolution we could, and
started out, my wife going north to
visit old neighbors in that section.
Strolling leisurely in the opposite
direction, | was hailed by my old
friend, s. P. Emmons, and we had a
short talk, chiefly In reference to
the sad loss Of DR.. Palmore, and the
probable future OF the st. Louis
Christian Advocate Of which he is
now one Of the Conference mana
gers. Sitting in front OF the Hotel
I came upon a group Of old time
friends. among them my oldest ac-
q~uaintance in Audrain County, Col.
j. T. johnson. He gave me a cor
dial greeting, and we at once fell in,
to a strain OF early reminiscency,
going back to the days when I set
him up on a tract OF land / owned
six miles north of town, and started
him on a career OF farming and trad

old Gov. Hardin homestead and
backed by his own beautiful coun-
try-seat.
1t al a novel experience to us, in
Mexico, to be driven over miles. of
paved streets, and out over the old
river home-road, over which, in
bygone years, We had trudged thru
water and mud, in buggy and wagon,
to our country home.
No telephone, no rural delivery
mail. no automobiles, in those days.
AS we passed in our elegant car
over the finely paved streets and
by the many new and beautiful res
licences, we felt ourselves strangers
indeed in the little city we once
claimed as our home, Among the
few old friends we greeted in pass
ing were Messrs Pollock, wither-
spoon, Williams, Rowland, Luckie,
Sallee, and last, but not least, our
venerable friend, DR.. Bourne. 1t
was a thoughtful and kind act in our
old friend Johnson to thus make hap
by for an hour two old friends now

love to be thus remembered. God
bless him and his family. May We
