hitch onto hls car and pull him away,
 but Mir. Newton knew that his car would not be able to do that, so he
 talked with the man and tried to get him started, but could not, so he sent for negro man living on the place to come down and help the fellow get started. The man must have thought MT. Newton had sent for an officer, for he sobered up imme- diately sufficient to start his car and pulled away in hurry, but he had kept us waiting so long that we had to take the lunch in the house and eat before we started, because it had commenced ot rain again.
 At last, at one l o'clock we got started, but it was so very late that before we got to my place 1t was time to turn around and start back. So now you see that two big grown-up men acted so badly that all these chil- dren, though they had been very good, could not get to see Fairyland. But they are going to try to be so very, very good now that the next time they start they sure will get there.
 There was car full of us and what great time the children would have had had we have had more time, for they brought along their bathing suits and they saw lots of good swimming holes. Buddie had his gun and ex- peeted to kill at least one wolf, for he is great big boy, being the eld- est of the family and nine years old. Billy sat in his papa's lap part of the time mad drove the car. At least he thought he did. Peggy, who is very pretty and six years old, sat in my lap and the rest sat in the back seat with their mother. We had a great time anyway, though 1t was raining. When we got to where the road 1 travel leaves the big road, we turned off and stalled once in the mud, and we all had to get out and push, but we got through all right and came to other mud holes which we went through. Then we came to the bank of the Maumelle river and started down it, but the rain had made 1t so slick that the car turned right square across the road. The river was so wide in front of it that 1 supposed it got scared and decided to turn around and go back home. We all got out and Mir. Newton backed the car up and got it headed toward the river again. Then we all got out and took a good look at the ford and found out that we could get through with out getting in water over six inches deep and went on acorss past the Me Nicely place, but the clay hill beyond them was so slick, on account of the rain, that we decided to turn back. We stopped at the McNeely place and visited awhile. His daughter and Mrs. Simpson live there. Mir. Lee Tolley, his mother and wife and chil- dren were there, as was Miss Brooks and the Cockman children, so we had a nice little visit with them, and the Newtons started home to come again after the children get so good that no bad men can stop their coming And next time they are going to bring with them a pretty thoroughbred red pig, which their papa gave me, and of course they will have to just come through anyway to get the pig home. The children were awful sorry it rained before they got to my place, but they wished it would had have waited until they got there and then rained a week, because they are sure a visit of only three or four hours would not be long enough for them to see everything they have read about being at my homestead.
 We'll it is Monday morning, and
