Mr Editor:—If you will allow me space in yoor valuable paper I will try to give a sketch of my trip to the reunion at Dallas, Texas. I left home on the 18'h of April and landed at Paris on tbe 20th, with out my stop-over. We went from Atlanta to Birmingham, from there to Memphis, from Memphis to Little Rock, from there to Wister, I. T.; there we changed cars to Paris on the Frisco route. I stopped at Paris until Tuesday. 22nd, with my sister, Mrs. G. 0- Cabiness, whom I bad not seen for sixteen years. I found her and all the family doing as well as could be wished, plenty of good grub and ev erything else. I ran against some thing there in the shape of grub that I had never met before, they called it red-hot tomoilie. You bet it was out of sight. I only ate one dozen. I also met a number of other friends from South Carolina who opened their doors aod wined and dined me like I was a king. They carried me to the opera bouse aud all the other public buildings in the town. They have one of the flnest court houaea I ever aaw, built of native stone. They also have a fine Federal court house. I tbiok Paris is the prettiest town 1 ever wa» in. Tbe morning of the 22od I, with a number of tbe Paris people, left for Dallas. We arrived about 10 o’clock, and there I struck a stump. I never saw such a crowd of people in my life from nowhere and everywhere. I was like a little boy who once went to a country picnic with his Aunt Sib. He got lost and the last time I saw him he was running up and down the road hollowing, ‘ Oh Aunt Sib, where is Aunt Sib? Uncle Jack come here.” So the only thing 1 could think of was to go to tTe union depot, board a street car and go to the re union. I did so. I went to the fair ground and there I found South Car olina headquarters established, where I registered. I then began looking around for the old vets. Tbe first I found was Dock Stacy, from the same company. Well, we hugged and kissed and pawed up tbe ground smartly. I met Capt. Lite McStroup, Lee Goudelock, Alec Lipscomb, Smith Lipscomb, Ship Davis aod a great many others. Well boys, it was a reunion indeed. Ooe minute I would be crying and the next hollow ing and laughing and patting tbe old fellows on the back, hollowing hurrah for Dixie. Each State had its headquarters and a row of tents stretched just the same as we did in tbe time of the war. In the tents were four cots with blankets and billows for us to stay in if we wished to do so at night. There was also a mess hail where we were feed with plenty of everything good to eat,and the best coffee I ever twisted my lips over. The last day we were to have the buffalo barbecue, but I left on Tuesday* so I never got any buffalo. I aaw them all tbe same. They were tbe biggest cows I ever saw, and were in pretty good fix for eating. Tbe signals for meals were the firing of six shots by a cannon. Whenever the sixth shot was fired we charged tbe fort, and of all the acronging aod packing, running over one another you never saw beat in your life. It made me think of cbourglng tbe Yankees in time of tbe war. I charged too, but with a differ ent vim from wbat I charged Yaokeoe with, I wm charging to fill my atom- acb with good bash and eatables. We met in a large hall at tbe fair ground, but it was packed ao full I did not enjoy it. When Gen. Gordon was introduced to make hie speech, the old rebs went wild and grabbed him and carried him around tbe bouse on their shoulders like maniacs. It took nearly an hour to quiet chem. He then rose and made one of the best speeches I ever neard. We cried, laughed, and had all sorts of times. I can’t tell you half of it. It would take me a week and then I might pre varicate. Well, to the young men who were not there, you mieaed the treat of your life, or probably aaved yoor life, for If you bad been there you would have run a great risk of losing It, looking at the prsttiest sight I ever looked upon, tbe prettiest and tbe eweeteet girls I ever had the pieaeure to behold, tbe sponore aod tbe maids of honor from every Southern State, besides the other pretty girls who were there. I think Dallas has got the prettiest aod the finest lot of girls I ever saw, but they don’t look altogether like our South Carolina girls, red aod rosy and a little bit swarthy like. The climate makes the difference. From Dallas I boarded a train on tbe Texas Pacific railroad running through the prairie lands. Oh my, wbat a country ’ Just as far as your eye will let you ee« the land ie at level ge a floor, without a tree, a etump, or rock, and tbe soil as black aa stone coal. Corn waist high and aa black as a cloud. Tbe cotton half leg high. Wheat aod oats all out in bead. When I got back borne I felt like tbe man who had always been loafing around town doing nothing and who went home one night and asked hit wife if she had anything to eat She said, “nothing but a little bread.” He said to bit wife, “Jane, I am go ing to change my business.” “Why Jobe, what’s tbe matter with you?” “Ob, I am going to change my busi- nees. I want you to dictate me a sign.” She dropped her bead, raised up and said : “John, tbe best sign for you is to have a big born painted and you coming out tbe little end,” Sol <elt lik - changing my business. At Durant I boarded the Katie Flyer aod landed in the I. T , Choc taw Nation, at my son’s, about three or four hundred miles from Dallas. I stopped with him until my time was up. I will give you a description of tbe nation later on. Yours etc., 1. G. Sarkatt. May 19ch, 1902. THROUGHOUT THE TAR HEEL STATE. From the Mountains to The Sea. NORTH CAROLINA NEWS.
