G He Lives |n Texas Now and Writes to old Friends. Bonham, Tex., March 2G, 1908. Dear Ledger:—By request and for the benefit of inquiring friends and relatives in the dear old “Palmetto State” I take this method to inform them of where I am, and what I am doing, if the kind Editor will permit me space in his valuable paper. I have been very busy for the past three months visiting our neighbor ing towns, talking up our Fort Worth proposition which we have on hand, at present. Fort Worth, Texas is a beautiful, healthful city of 70,000 in habitants and is still growing. We | are disposing of these lots at $200.00, each and with this addition the town j will be much larger. But as I have a great many things I would like to, tell you about, 1 will make each sub-j ject as brief as possible. So I will ' not give a further description of this city. The farmers are progressing nicely i with their crops. Corn is all planted i and coming up, and some have plant ed cotton. The weather has been warm and fine so far with seasonable rains. Spring is here in all Its beauty, with its green meadows, trees and flowers, garden vegetables are coming in, strawberries ripening. Also spring chickens are almost ready to eat. Democracy is certainly aroused here. Our State Senator, Joseph W. Bailey, arrived home from Washing ton a few days ago to meet the De mocrats of Texas in a convention at Forth Worth and that may be classed a great event. The death of "Uncle Ed” Hames, of Brookston, Tex., wag very sad indeed. He was one of the best men I ever knew. We are glad to say his family Is getting along nicely. We are also glad to state that our relatives and friends, Mr. and Mrs. Smith Lipscomb, who have been .con fined to their rooms so long on ac count of sickness, are now able to be up and out again. It is sad to chronicle the death of our pastor. Rev. W. S. Splawn, of the First Baptist church of this place. Perhaps some of The Ledger’s readers knew him as he came from Nortn Carolina. He was a fine, noble Chris tian man and loved by his congrega tion and people in general. I will now give you a sketch of my trip last summer: One year ago my friend and partner T. J. Moore, and I left home for an Eastern tour In the interest of our new Rock Island, Okla., town. We went via Shreve port and New Orleans. Thought pos sibly we would take the steamer to Mobile, Ala., but when we were ready to mabe our departure from New Orleans the steamer was delayed from some cause, so we boarded the train and pulled out. By looking on the map you will see that it runs along the coast all the way to Mobile and while riding over this cost line and viewing this wide expanse of water, it was a sight to behold, besides many other scenes of interest which time and space forbids me relating. While In New Orleans we had the pleasure of eating oysters fresh from the shells, which were delicious. We thought we had eaten fresh oysters before or at least they were bought for that, but they were nothing to compare with these right out of the gull. Well, we went from Mobile to Montgomery, Ala. While there we visked the Alabama State capltol, the flm capltol of the Confederacy. It Is a beautiful building surrounded by luxurant trees and grass on a rolling spot of ground. We also visited the home of Jefferson Davis, white house of the Confederacy. I must not dwell too long here, so we went from there to Birmingham and many other towns Ir Alabama. From there to Atlanta, Ga. It Is a beautiful city with Its magnificent buildings. I wag told while there that the Union depot there, cost over tfi,000,000. It’s a grstfd structnae. We* were invited cut to the home of a friend and were treated royally. Our next pic e was Madison, then to Fort Valley and Cartersville, Ga. While in Carters- ville 1 saw the home of the Rev. Sam Jones. It is a nice home. He con ducted a big tabernacle meeting here once and I was glad to see where he lived. I sa w his family. W&" went i from Cartersville to Rome, Ga. There 1 we met many friends and relatives of grandfather and grandmother Dun can. They resided there a number of years and conducting a mercantile business, so I felt very much at home wandering around where my mother used to roam when a little girl, and fishing In the river there at Rome. | Some of the good old darkeys that j were their slaves were glad indeed to . see us and like to eat us up, and of course, we appreciated them too. In commenting on the fried chicken they had at a barbecue given in our honor (these old darbeys were there) 1 they said, ‘‘La child, your ma set in i my lap many times and eat fried; chicken jist like dat, when she was a baby.” We went from Rome out to “Lookout Inn” on the mountain In Chattanooga. This is a grand place. The hotel is on the highest point on the mountain. It is 365 feet in length and has 350 rooms. It would take a volume to describe the scenes at this place. From there we wended our way homeward. Came back by Hot Springs, Ark., and spent a few days and then came home (the best place on earth to any man) and rested a while in the fall, but now In a few days we will go to Kansas, and per haps through some of the middle States and maybe we might find our selves over In South Carolina before returning home, but don’t know yet. As 1 can’t write to each of you per sonally, 1 hope this will he of some interest and satisfaction to some of you who have not had an opportunity of seeing these things and places. For fear this hurriedly written let ter will pass over to the waste basbet, I will close, with best wishes to The Ledger and its readers.
