Esteemed Editor aud Readers of th {
News: It is never too late to do bet.
ter. | have been on the 60 a right
smart of the time the last two weeks.
/ first visited my brother at Arlington
and had q splendid time. Also had
the pleasure Of looking over one of the
finest farms in Texas. The corn and
cotton crop looks fine. The grain
crop was not SO good. Stock looks
we'll. / had the pleasure Of attending
the Children's Day services. They
had very interesting program, aud
il was we'll and ably carried out.
Everyone there went away feeling
that it was good to be there. 1t al
ways makes one feel better to visit
Tom and his good wife and family,
anyway. They all try to make one
feel as pleasant as anyone could.
Next visited J. L. Lewis and fami-
ly. One day Jim came to the city.
and maybe he got lost. At any rate
he called me up and told me where
he was l went down in town and
found him, and as had big surplus
OF time / mounted the North Texas
Interurban and went to Ft. Worth
and spent the night with him. Now,
anyone that never bad the opportunity
of knowing or spending night with
Jim and Mary has missed something
in this life. Acquaintances who have
visited them never forget it, it al
ways fingers in the memory like
bright star down the rugged path of
the past.
Last, but not least in pleasure, last
Sunday morning at 7:40 a. m, and
my son, Sam B., boarded the katy
Flyer" for visit TO E. G Bracken,
of Greenville, Texas, city 65 miles
north of Dallas. Claud was at the
train to meet us, and took us in his
Car up to his Office at the Chamber of
Commerce. There we met many
friends After spending a pleasant
hour at the Office we went out to his
home, had good dinner. After din
ner we started out burning gasoline
again, and took in several miles of
country roads to see the good roads
Hunt county is building. They are
building fine roads. We left Green
vile at 7:35 p. M, thus ending
day of pleasure long to be remember
ed by us all.
Don't know that can say anything
relative to the Mexican situation that
has not already been told by the As
sociated Press through the daily press
all over the world. They are doing
some real fighting now. And l want
to tell you now it is not going to be
any picnic. The United States has
got several thousand troops in Mexico,
and they are bottled up down there.
They can't go any farther and they
can't come out. Carranza has turned
against the United States and is now
fighting the United States army, and
will not let them out. The U. S., will
have to fight all Of Mexico. That viii
la hunt was farce as far as Mexico
were hunting Villa and killing him
Caranza knew where he was, and
knows today where he is and is help
ing and has been helping commit
those depr edations on the border. The
people have sat still and let the ad
send the soldiers down
there to protect-not the rancher or
the border, but to protect the interest
of Wall street and those who had large
mining interests that they had got
someway, but the people have got to
help get the soldiers out of there now.
We can't stand still and leave them in
there now to suffer for the wrong do
ing of others.
| received word the other day of the
death of my friend, George eagle, of
formerly of Marion
County. Mr.. eagle was brother of
Mrs. T. s. Bracken Of Arlington, Tex
as. An other good man passed over
the great divide.
suppose j. G. of Eastland, Tenn,

Come on, John, don't get sleepy in
the day time. We all miss you. Is it
too hot for you, sold Joe." Come
