| best that can be said for me, Is that
am always on hand | have miss
ed but two or three times in five
years sending in little piece for the
News. They have not been very
brilliant pieces, but have mentioned
ed some things that possibly inter
ested some. | cannot write on the
things of social life and tell what the
neighbors are doing and saying-that
would be of no interest to the read
ers of the News, for they would not
know anyone was writing about,
so have a hard job to think of
think of things that will pass,
w. J. Bryan was here and spoke
to a large crowd on the 18th of May.
Anyone who loves to hear intelligent
speaking will be interested In Mr..
Bryan. He is a forceful speaker and
| am always glad to have an oppor-
tunity to hear him on any subject. l
think he is a man who can see as far
in the future as any man living. |
am not very enthusiastic Bryan
supporter, but | love to hear a smart
man talk CHATS why talk to my
self and all that know Mr.. Bryan
regard him as a very able man. |
think he is the best posted man our
nation has today. | cannot afford to
discuss politics for | would soon be
lost.
Sunday, the 5th, we had a good
rain. 1t reached places that had
been dry for two or three years. 1t
did wonderful amount of good to
the crops, but disappointed me. |
was calculating to go out to Airing
ton on the II o'clock interurban car.
Had written "T. S. B." to meet me
in Arlington at 11:45, but when that
rain came | knew it was no use to
60, as we would shave had few
miles of black land to go over and it
is no use to try it when it is wet.
Thank you, "Wild Rose," of Dix
on's Cove, for your comment of last
week. | am always glad to know
that someone takes an interest in my
pieces. At one time knew every
body in the cove.
Well, there must be heavy move
ment of our boys to the trenches
now, as there are train loads going
thru Dallas every few days. Sunday
there were four trains of eight
coaches and each went north on the
H. & 7. e. Monday two trans
went west on the Texas Pacific, like
ly to California and from there by
water If they are going north for
more training they have to take them
from some other place to make room
for the new. So, what is the diff
ference, some mothers heart is bleed
ing for her dear boy who is gone,
possibly never to return. Oh, it is
sad to have boys go away to war,
but that is our only chance of gain
ing the victory. There has to be
great loss of our boys to win the
war.
The first consignmentssof the new
peach crop was received in the city |
Tuesday, the 9TH, from East Texas.
They look fine and sell for Csc per |
basket, containing about a quart.
We will have plenty very soon now,
as our local crop will soon be on the
"Sister Susan" of Whitwell Mt,
almost envy you the pleasures of
the huckleberry crop this summer on
the famous Cumberland mountain.
always love to read good letters
from my old home county. Hope to
zee more letters from you in in the
News.
Two years ago today, the 18th of
May, was very sad day for me. 1t
was on that day that my companion
was laid beneath the sod in Oakland
Cemetery, never to be seen again.
Since that time my life has almost
been a blank. No one can tell, or
40 one can realize what it is to be
eft alone after living together forty
Years. | do not want TO drag my
sorrows before others, but this being
he second anniversary it was on my
mind and | could not help mention
