Jones Not In the Asylum?He BP':- i Speaks of tbe Abbeville Tragedy, and Moralizes on Deatb. Meridian, Texas. Jan. 3' 1901. Editor Press and BaDBer, Dear sir:? A happy and prosperous and successful New Year to you. I 6end you two Local papers "marked please copy the notices for the use of my friends aud acquaintances who think 1 am In tbe Launatlo Asylum. I intend carrying out my promlBe to you "to write up Texas as It has never been done before." Circumstance which I could not control hay caused me to fall to give you your weekly ;letter since the election on tbe 6th of November. Texas objected to being wrote up along certain lines and tried to suppress me bnt you know me well enough to know that lnlustloe, persecution and lorce, only Intensifies my determination to do a thing y,_ _ that my Judgment and conscience approves. I have stacks of matters to send you. I have Inspected four Jails and one Lunatic Asylum , since I wrote up Bosque County, and can 'shortly begin to give you some intensely amusing and Interesting articles on "tbe Backyard of the United StatesJ" better known as the "Jbone star state" 01 Texas, i was shocked on the morning of the 30th to read In the Dallas morning News of the awful tragedy In Abbeville where poor Kennedy was killed by John Danady. How sad, only In office about 20 days aDd gone to that bourne from wbloh no traveler has ever returned. Whether he went tbltber at one step across an Imperceptable frontier or wether an interminable ocean dark unfluctuating or voiceless streches from these visible coasts to those Invlnlble shores, we do not know, as we now see through a glass darklyWhether on Saturday morning after death he saw a more glorious sun rise with unimaginable splendor above a celestial horizon, or whether his apathetic spirit and unconcious aches still sleep In oold obstruction we cannot tell. These are the unsolved and unsolvable problems of mortal life and human destiny which caused the Troubled Patrlarob bA.'* of old to ask the momentous question, which the ages baa failed to give a satisfactory an '/} swer "If a man die shall be live again"? Every man is the oenter of a fatal clrcumsLanoe whose bound be cannot pass, within it be is all powerful, beyond It he perishes. And if the longest and most successful life Is ? /xH offer Ka nrhA ffiaffl ? ilUb DU}f(/iCUiuu?vu aiw* uoobU) uo <vw.? to die should fear to live for life 1b a more fearful and inexplicable tragedy than even death.
