son Tenn, they came onto a stretch
of muddy road-the first they had
encountered on their trip. There is
no pasture land in this territory. but
many fields of cotton and corn.
Along in this section they passed a
traveller going to Oklahoma City.
In an apparent wilderness of trees
and clay banks, with no residences
visible, they suddenly came upon a
most beautiful red brick church.
and a little farther on came upon
another church-frame building,
and well kept cemetery. The next
town of interest was Huntingdon,
Tenn.
Saturday morning, Aug. /, they
came to an old fashioned saw mill
Sawyer's mill, of which they took a
picture. There they eamped. After
they left the saw mill just as they
rounded a corner they spied the
Tennessee river, with it's beautiful
grass grown banks. They crossed
the river on a private owned ferry

is the entrance to Jewel cave. There
is a spring near, with pump over
it. Mrs Parmiter and daughter
went into the cave. The electric
lights were switched on. The tour

SOME AMONG MANY THINGS
NOTED ON BIG AUTO TRIP

AS noted in the account of the
Parmiter reunion which was given in
the Democrat last week, among
those present were Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert A. Parmiter and daughter
Miss Bessie Parmiter who reside on
farm near Gotebo, Okla. Mr..
Parmiter is son of B. B. Parmiter
of McConnelsville.
The daughter Miss Bessie Par
miter is graduate of high school,
and during the last three winters
has taught. She expects to enter
the A. and M. college this fall, at
saltwater, Okla.
On their auto camping trip here
Miss Parmiter took voluminous
notes. Through her courtesy the
Democrat has gathered few of
these notes, and is giving them as
follows:
They left their home July 25. The
next town of Importance after leay-
ing Gotebo, was the inland town of
Cooperton, then Mountain Park and
Snyder, Okla. Passed many loaded
cars, denoting heavy travel. The ex-
treme drouth south of the Wichita
mountains made farm conditions
seem not very favorable Saw two
tractors being used to pull two cul-
tivators. two listers and a harrow.
Noted that some of the cotton crops
were poor, while right next to them
perhaps would be some looking ex-
ceptionally good.
The land near Manitou, Okla, was
red clay-Mr. Parmiter thought per-
haps worth about "15 cents per
acre" Five miles west of this ter
ritory is as good land as is to be
found anywhere. Could have put a
hand out of the car and touched the
derrick of an oil we'll in operation.
Saw tall, luxuriant Johnston grass
which makes splendid feed.
The border line between Oklaho-
ma and Texas was not hard to
define, as they crossed on the bridge
over the Red river. This bridge is
very narrow Here and there are
circular places for an auto to switch
while another car is passing. On the
Texas end of the bridge they were
relieved of a dollar toll. From the
bridge they went on macadamized
road into Electra, Tex. In the oil

COLUMBUS LETTER
(By Chas. w. Rifel

When thousands upon thousands
OF visitors come to Columbus next
week to attend the annual state fair
they Will see many elaborate and
expensive displays, but none which
represents such hard toll and such
anticipations as that to be made by
state institutions. At the boys and
girls industrial schools, hospitals for
the insane, as we'll as those for the
feeble minded, the inmates have for
weeks been making pretty things
for the fair. AS result there will be
many novelties shown which repre-
sent long and tedious hours for
these unfortunate inmates. Blind
workers of the state are also making
what they can in their continuous
world of dark, and will have one of

work goes into an entertainment
fund for the inmates. The state
does not provide for moving pic
lures, musical organizations, etc.
But the patients enjoy them just the
same. So the plan was devised to
make little household articles which
could be sold at nominal cost, and
the money used for this purpose.
Entertainment therefore for the
next year depends upon the liberal
ity of the fair visitors. If they buy
freely the long hours of these physi-
cally and mentally defective will be
made much happier than otherwise.
It's splendid cause and worthy of
the patronage of every state fair
guest.
