who is the grand secretary of that
grand lodge. 1 was delighted beyond
expression to meet this trained wo
man. At her home 1 met Miss NJ
Mcdowell, who is a trained nurse
and an educated young woman. She
is indeed busy woman. The night
was spent in town and the next morn
ing we went down in one of them

L. & N. stables to go to Montgomery
They put on behind the fast horse
two special carriages to haul us down
there. 1t would take this whole paper
and then some for me to tell you
about my impression of this place

Off from Montgomery to Mobile, for
few hours, and l was thrown with
another doctor. This time it was DR.
H. Roger Williams. 1 am meeting
some doctors. This man shook my
hands, told me to be at home with
him. Then to see Knox Brothers, the
planters of human bodies, at least
they undertake it. Next to New Or.
leans for two or three hours then
off to Beaumont. This town was
put on the map some few years ago
by the discovery of oil here in the
ground and people came from every
direction to dig it out and get rich.
1 don't see to save my life how so
much oil got down under the ground
unless it was the melting of those
who had died and been buried there.
am not going to think about this
thing.
In Beaumont, the first thing to
claim my attention was the meeting
of Prof. T. T. Pollard, one of the
leading educators in this country. He
has made such record in the school
room until the school board named
one of the pupil schools the Pollard
School," and made him the boss over
it. He is not only an educator, but
he is one of the finest deer hunters in
this country. He knows the deers
just like he knows his books, and
they tell me that the deers are so
well acquainted with him until they
walk up to him for him to kill them.
1 don't give this out as being the

1 had the pleasure then of meeting
a young man who patches up teeth
puts new soles on them and makes
them like new when they are worn
out. He deals in second hand teeth
or 1 mean he makes them out of gold
and other stuff and puts them right
in your mouth, and some teeth he
puts diamonds in them. l am talk.
ing about DR.. Charles B. Charlton.
He has the reputation of being one of
the finest in the country. The people
just flock to him. He was born right
here in this town, some thing less
than thirty years ago. He went
the public schools here. He
was touched by Prof. Pollard. Then
he went off to college. 1t was at
Howard University, where he got his
touches, then returned to his
home, and the people with open arms
received their own son. A thing un.
usual in this country. He went right
in to mending teeth, and then he saw
in the Bible where it said 1T is not
good for man to be alone"
DR.. Charlton, being a christian
prayed over that. and then he de-
