Sequachee Valley news. (Sequachee [Sequatchie], Tenn.) 1896-1952, 1917-10-18
Dallas, Texas.

Special 10 Tie Nczos.
Mr. Editor, il at some time you hear
a great noise and commotion, don't be
alarmed. 1t will only be Lone Star
coming in to clean out the News from
attic to basement for keeping me IN
suspense about not getting the News
as soon as l used to. Until this sum-
mer always got my paper on Satur-
day afternoon, but now it is some
times Tuesday before ii comes, SO
look out, Mr. Editor. l., for one, look
for it with the greatest of interest.
The News is to me like letter from
many old friends, aud am very much
disappointed when l fail to get it on
time
| had letter from Arlington to-day
that 7. s. Bracken was so busy SELL
ing cotton and taking lessons in run
ming Ford that he often forgets to
come in to eat. On one occasion be
was going to make announcement that
the preacher would be there at GER
tain time. He said. 'Our Ford will
preach here at II a. m. next Sunday. !"
He has got it bad.
The great Texas Fair opened today,
and large number of people are at
tending. did not have the emporium
ity to attend today, as ! am trying to
finish my collections for this report,
and there were other things that kept
me on the jump, so 1 had no time to
think Of or go to the big fair. There
was q very interesting street parade
this forenoon. Supposed to have been
two hundred thousand people on the
streets from ten to twelve o'clock.
The fair will last two weeks.
Next Saturday at noon the city be-.
comes dry. No one can get the cool
ing beverage of foam to slake their
thirst, but such is life in the woolly
west.
Our boys are still going to the train
ing camps. Another consignment went
to San Antonio the past week.
What is the trouble that all of our
good old writers have quit their jobs,
sold Joe," "Uncle Blue" -. g."
and many others. Come boys, l know
you are all getting old and feeble.
Shake yourselves together and try a
gain Sometimes feel old, but l
know it is false feeling.
My old friend, Milton Dame, of
Crisp, Texas. is remaining silent a
long time. Come on. Milton. Help
me talk Texas Left alone l don't
know when am telling the straight
truth. Anything else would be foreign
to my nature. Each one should do his
little part.
E. G. Bracken, secretary of tue
Chamber of Commerce at Paris, Texas,
has been in Dallas three or four days
this week. Claud never forgets to look
Papa up when he is in Dallas. 1t
makes the old folks feel good for their
boys and girls to pay some attention
to them. especially when the old folks
are left alone, as I am.
Strayed or stolen, my old friend,
s. g. Mansfield left Dallas some few
weeks ago. presumably to go to Sc
Sequatchie Valley, near Dunlap. He
is old enough to take care of himself
but he being widower
has caused me to think possibly some
Of the fair widows of Sequatchie coun-
ty had decided to kidnap him. Hope |
be will soon return to Texas with |
many happy thoughts of the trip back
10 the old homes in the valley, which |
8 dear to the hearts of many of us
Texans, but the bright sunshine and |
FERTILE lands of Texas always bring
hem back. and have no doubt my
riend Mansfield will soon show up o.
&. though he may not come alone
lie is great ladies' man. Good luck,
I'D boy.
Best wishes for the News and it's
management. AS ever, Lone Star.
