I read in yonr last issue of the j death of Mr. Lemuel K Brown, which is verv sad news to me I knew him well, and thought a great deal of him. While 1 was in Bonham, Mr. Smith Lipscomb came to see me and after are now working talking for two hours with me I couldn’t hardly consent for him to leave me. He mentioned many old soldiers that I knew very well. He spoke in the highest terms of Mr. W. G. Austell and Col. W I) Camp, and all the Jefferies. It seemed to me like home folks for a man to call those names to me. He said he had been Informed that Uncle Jake Prid- more was dead, I told him Mr. Prid- more was still living. j k b. 207 SHUTS New Fall and Winter sample books from Fred Kauffman, M.

A Former Cherokeettu Writ,** From the Font* Star State- (Corresponrtencfc of The Leaser.# Sash, Texas. Sept. 14 —The weath er in this section is at present, very warm and dry. in bottom lands, clearing and putting in land. The timber is very heavy, being principally cotton-wood and boisdarc. The boisdarc is a very valuable timber for fence posts. It’s what we call in Carolina, hedge orange. I recollect a grove of it down on Thickety Creek, close to the Goud- elock ford. I attended the old soldiers’ re-un ion at Honey Grove, August 21, 22, 214 It was the grandest thing cf its kind I ever witnessed. The town done all it possibly could for the com fort and pleasure of the old soldiers, and it was a grand success. The fol lowers of Lee and Jackson marched through the town in great numbers, I hardly knew there were so many old • Confeds” living as were present on that occassion. Some had lost an arm or a leg, some couldn’t walk without the help of crutches or sticks, but they could all lend their voices in chorus for Dixie. They are doing all they can to make the Dallas re union of nex^ year the grandest thing of its kind ever held. In preparing land for farming pur poses here, its nothing strange to see from four to eight mules to the plow. They bed cotton ground with one fur row with what they call a lister. They use much improved machinery in farming, such as harrows, culti vators, stalk cutters and rakes They make a crop with half the work it ♦akes to make one in Carolina They have Missionery Baptist j here just like they have in Carolina. | of the same faith, and the Methodist . are of the same belief as the Metho- ' dist of your state. We have also the i foot-washing Baptist. They believe a man gets his salvation out of foot- ! washing and open communion. We also have Holiness people preaching | Sanctifi'-d souls and bodies, living each day above sin and temptation— living as pure as the God that made them. They seem to forget 1 Paul’s teachings of a Thorn in the Flesh. They claim also a death of the carnal mind and of Adamic na ture. There is another denomina tion here called the Camelites. They deny the Lord’s power to save a soul without he first has the river of Jor dan knocked dry. They re quire a man to confess that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and be Bap tized with water and then they call h»m a christain. The different de nominations keep up a fight betwixt themselves all the time. This keeps the whole thing confused and leaving the gap down for the Devil to get all. WOMEN AND SOCIETY. (All communications to this column should be addressed to O. Box 153.) As the Fall season opens the light shades again attract attention. Gar net and even brighter reds are seen in the new material; also light brown and brownish tan tones. The clear, bright French blue is retained for silk velvet and millinery. The pearl tones are only used in gloves. In all colors there is a brightness of tone that prevents any sombre effect. Pretty collars are made from ribbon of soft taffeta satin or plain taffeta. The belt has grown to be a very im portant part of the toilette. All belts are worn low in front. Miss Essie Raworth, of Augusta, is visiting Miss Maxwell, of Blacksburg.
