| find that it will not do to
state what other men say for
facts every time. Two weeks
ago | thought would have had
my eyes butchered or been stone
blind before this time from what
the doctor said. have not had
my operation yet and can't tell
when will, but l know it will
come before very long. After
that hemorrhage know | got a
little excited. The doctor made
me think the time had come for
action. had made all arrange
ments and was ready. Then
the doctor decided to wait awhile
He said by waiting my eyes
would get stronger and would be
in better condition and in the
meantime | would get to where
| could see better, but would be
no better. The cause would still
be there and would be until it
was removed. He said the long
er put it off the less trouble it
would be and the surer of saving
the eyes. suppose he is right,
but | don't like the suspense of
waiting, but ! may die and then
| will need no operation. | have
decided to just go along the best
| can until he says the eyes are
in the desired condition.
We have been entertaining
newly-weds for a few days. |
should have said they have been
entertaining us, as they are the
entertainers. One of Mrs. Brack-
ems friends from Oklahoma
came to Paris the latter part of
last week and was married to
ii. o. Willcoxen, very nice
young man and prominent in the
| insurance business here in Texas.
He got to going over the state
line looking for future business,
and found a very charming little
lady in Idabell. Oklahoma, who
was willing to take her chance in
Texas. So one day last week she
came to Paris and came out on a
visit to her friend, Mrs. E. G..
Bracken. Now she says her
name is Mrs. Ode Wilcoxen, in
place of Mrs. Ode Pullen. They
are now staying here in Paris,
waiting for the storm to blow ov-
err and for welcome summons
from Daddy Pullen to say: Re
turn, you wanderers, to your
fathers home" | don't think
any time will be lost in accepting
Daddy Pullen's invitation, and
then the clouds will roll away.
My impression is that if Daddy
P. will wipe the dust off his
glasses and let his vision rest on
the young man who is worthy of
his trust and confidence, all
would be we'll. / wish them all
the happiness that worthy cou-
pie can have bestowed on them.
We have had one killing frost
since the first of April, which
was a pretty hard jolt to early
gardens. 1t got all my first plant
ing of beans. l have another
planting that is coming up.
Enough of the first planting es-
capped the frost to have have one
early mess. 1t has been very
cool here all this week, but |
guess the sun will warm the
earth up in a little bit now.
The political mill doesn't seem
to run smoothly. ] guess they
will get it started later and
then the fun will commence.
l hope to see several letters in
the News when it comes.
| want to go south on my spring
outing soon, if / can get off
| had a letter from Dallas a
few days ago, telling me of the
illness of G. W. Henson. Al
that time he had been confined
to his bed for several days.
Hope he will soon recover and be
able to be about his business
again. George has not been in
very good health for the last few
years.
AS it is time for the postman
will have to quit or take walk
of about a mile this afternoon.
