had been swindled while others said
they wished they had come sooner.
The ones who are not satisfied
think are kickers anyway; but Mrs.
Brown and | have our hearts broke
with pleasure. We came to Bowl
ingreen Sunday We stopped at
the Baptist church and went into
sunday School, which is operated
like the Sunday Schools in Ken
tucky and West Virginia where
attend regularly every five years.
After Sunday School was over we
met our friend Mr.. Sellars. He ip.
troduced us to quite number OF
people and one gentleman proposed
To take us over mile and a quarter
to Mr.. Sellars' home and as he had
nice auto we accepted. Here we
met Mrs. Sellars, one of Mrs.
Browns old schoolmates and an ad.
Joining neig hber in Ballard county,
hy. Mr.. Sellars in making money
In truck farming. He is loading
car with tomatoes today and will get
pay for same from a buyer here.
Our friend, Mr.. Sellars, has
fine place. He owns So acres of
fine land and has about 80 of it in
cultivation. He has 9 acres in
water melons, which are "a fine
as | ever saw. He will ship a car
load tomorrow. His melons will
bring him 35 cents, each, when
placed in the car at the depot, l II
miles from the farm. He told me he
sold 1928 worth of straw berries off of
one fourth an acre and will ship
$50 crates mot bushels of toma-
toes tomorrow. He has about 10
acres of as fine looking corn as |
ever saw and he has some fine
meadow and as soon as one crop
Is of another goes on.
We are now on the river Peace.
which | hope will run between I'm
Gle Sam and all foreign nations and
thereby shun the river of Death.
We saw pit or pond of about ten
acres, where phosphate had been ia
ken out and it is now filled with wa.
ter and contains the prettiest bed Of
flowers | ever saw-hyacinth all of
pink color. In fact it seemed but
a dream.
Mrs. Brown accompanied the
three daughters OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Sellars TO the river to 90 bathing.
was juberous about an alligator, but
the three girls went in the dressing
room, which was Palmetto break,
and dressed in bathing suits aud
went into the water like they we're
from Venice.
We have green corn and other
vegetables that we get later in West
Virginia. / generally knock down
about dozen ears at a feed, while
Mrs. Brown relishes the cabbage.
We have two invitations to 90
"sigbt seeing" tomorrow a
wild cat hunt down near the PAYNE
creek palmetto breaks, near where
the Desota Indians murdered Cant.
Payne, but as Mrs. Brown is not in.
cluded in the wild cat hunt we will
/ 90 out with a Baptist preacher, az
they seem TO be a safe set of people,
besides an advantage they have il
they can get to the water and keep
cool.
The weather is hot here and the
water from deep wells is hot, or
what we would call hot at home; il
is perhaps 10 when it comes out Of
the pumps.
Ia regard to agriculture, the land
here Is adapted TO it-fne land. As
good corn grows here as ever grew
IN the Wabash or Miami valleys.
Grazing is fine; but there is no stock
here, except Florida scrubs-cattIe
aud horses and a few razor.back
hogs, with noses as long a. Uncle
Sans when the Germans sink a shin
with American people aboard.
We will remain here a few davs
