A Letter From Texas.

Editor Times:
We left Optima the 9Th of January
in company with C. M. Stamper and
son Howard, Mrs. Dawson, my wife's
brother and sister. On our trip to
Texas we saw several herds of cattle.
At Delhart we took the 1T. Worth &
Denver through Amarillo to Wichita
Falls. This is a good town OF about
1900. From these to Abiline, from
there to Bolinger, from there to Cole
man where we met cousin Dock Pear
son, who left Bates county in 1874, a
boy of 20 years but now the father OF
nine children, and has 10 grand
children. We stayed there five days
had pleasant time and came on tc
Hamilton, where we stopped with
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Painter, his wife
being a cousin Of my wife. He was
from Bates county. Stayed there
three days then come to Henry How
ey's and West Jones' at Lanam.
These. are Bates county boys and
married Pearsons. C. M. Stamper,
SON and sister left for Hico, to visit
Frank Pearson and then returned to
their home at Optima, Okla. We
visited there, then went back to VIM.
Painters, stayed there one week, then
back to Hovey's and Jones', stayed
there till Feb. 9, then went to Erath
county near Hico.
There is settlement of Bates coun.
ty people in that neighborhood- the
Hukel family, John White and a
great many others l might name.
=ss' We have seen some as fine land as
ever crow flew over. Texas is
good oat country, the oats being hall
knee high. The cattle are fat and
fine, but there are no cattle hardly in
Texas. Isaw the cotton cake mill
and the gin mills. There is lots oil
cotton down in Texas.
Yours truly,
C. M. Thomas.

What it Takes to Make a Man.

There is something missing from
the life Of the boy who has never had
a dog, and from the life Of a girl who
has never had a rag doll. The boy
who has never had a chance to worry
4 loving pup around, wandering
through the woods soaring up and
digging for wood chucks- such a boy
enters upon the stern duties Of life
suffering a serious handicap. He has
not learned a lot Of needed lessons in
fidelity andrlove and service. There
is no better teacher of these things
than a dog, for the dog teaches by
example instead Of by precept. The
boy who has been compelled to spend
his days adorned in spotless linen,
and prevented from getting out and
digging in the real dirt; who has never
a chance to climb trees and wade in
mud puddles; who never goes in the
deep woods or diving from an old
stump into the cool waters of the
creek; who has been reared amidst
luxury and fed on delicatessen stuff
that sort of boy will never amount
to shucks. just let his bare feet on
the ground about the time the frost is
out, whistle for q yellow dog and 60

Points on Country Life.

! am longing for the country, with
the pastures wide and green,
Where the cattle on the hillsides
browse untroubled and serene.
Where one hears the pleasing gobble
of the proud majestic turk
Oh, I'd spend my days at farming, it
it was not for the work!
| am longing for the country, where
the yellow pumpkins grin,
For the batter cake and 'lasses and
the pork grease on my chin.
For the clear and frosty mornings
and the pile of wood to chop
But would not care to live there if
I'd have the pigs to slop.
Houston Post
I'm longing for the country, where
the air is sweet and pure,
And where unfolds a rustic scene the
fancy to allure.
And where the morning climbs the
hills, no smoke wreaths round her
brows-
But, oh, I'd hate to earn my keep by
milking twenty cows.
Birmingham Age Herald.
l am longing for the country, for a
a visit there at least
Where your boots creak in the winter
and the wind is always east.
Where you 60 to bed, they tell me,
Just as soon as it is dark
But draw the line at residence and
rising with the lark.
j. A. Waldron in Judge.
Oh, it takes the city poet with asteady
city job,
To keep longing for the country, till
he almost makes us sob;
And it's not a bit surprising, for what
bard would not be stirred,
To keep longing, longing, longing for
about two cents word?

sonian. ....
