ADDRESS . r '
THE GAFFNEY LEDGER
GAFFNEY, S. 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.
