Edwards Family, Back From
Long Texas Trip; Found Man
Who Had Never Seen a Tree

Mr.. and Mrs. N. M. Edwards and
Miss May Ellen Stanley returned Sat.
urday night from Texas, where they
were guests for four weeks of rela-
tives.
The ute tai \ from Americas was
via Mv-4tgomel. and one stop was
made at New Orleans of a day and
night. The city was viewed from au.
tomobile and many interesting
places visited in that historic city
From there they went to Fort Worth,
where another stop-over was made
for sightseeing. From this point the
party went direct to Balmorhea,
where they were guests of Mr.. and
Mrs. C. C. Whip, half-brother of
Mr.. Edwards.
Mrs. Edwards talked very enter
tainingly today of the incidents of
the visit. She said they arrived in
the midst of the hay-cutting season.
The alfalfa fields were wondrously
beautiful and great stacks of the hay
was piled in the fields as high as her
home. The refreshing odors from this
new-mown hay were delightful, and
the prosperity manifested by these
mammoth hay ricks was assuring.
One of the features of this region
which was most amazing to the trav-
elers was the prairie filled with mile
after mile of mesquite bushes, the
shrubs indigenous to that section. Of
ten this bush constitutes the only
arborescent vegetation for great
stretches, and upon seeing these
shrubs, Mrs. Edwards exclaimed,
"What a magnificent orchard of
peach treesw Naturally, the natives
were convulsed, for peach trees are
an unknown quantity in that section
of Texas which borders on Mexico.
Days Hot, Nights Cool.
The days were intensely hot, Mrs.
said, but the nights were
so cool that blankets had to be used
for comfort. There is very little un-
necessary going about during the day,
indoors being preferable to the hot,
scorching winds that blow over the
prairie country. The evenings are
long and cool and delightful and many
are the sociable gatherings held
among these very hospitable people
after the sun goes down.
A very impressive feature was the
absence of locks upon houses. Upon
one occasion the party were going
twenty miles in the country, and nat
urally some curiosity was manifested
by the Georgia people about locking
up" before leaving. mot So" said
the residents, nothing is ever locked
up in this country. Everybody is
honest, and no one molests the prop
erty of others. Occasionally there
will be barnyard theft, but as to
the e..e Since iof houses for the pur-
pose o" pillage, such thing is un-
known"
A Mexican wedding and dance was
attended by the travellers while on
their visit. The bride was attired in
a handsome conventional wedding
outfit, train, kid slippers, orange
