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.

A Former Cherokeettu Writ,** From the

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

vators, stalk cutters and rakes They
make a crop with half the work it

They have Missionery Baptist

| 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.

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.
