Oh but these cold nights
makes you pull the cover up
and when you get up look for
a sweater and don’t they feel
good and at Darris I’ll ask if
I can help in any way, no there’s
nothing to do after awhile I
go back to my room and read
or write and I have read all I
brought with me but my Bible.
I have one here and one at
Estelle’s, the one that’s here is
so fine I can’t read long till the
words all run together. I had a
Bible I got for writing to Gra-
ham, I have read it through
several times but Lin didn’t
have a Bible so I give it to him,
it had good print, I told him to
read it and be a good boy. I
think I’ll get me another Bible
that the print isn’t so fine, I
have good books that Ida give
me and I have read them time
and again but they are at Es-
telle’s don’t no how long I’ll be
here. I go back to Estelle’s to
go to church and when I go
back I’ll have to get a bottle
of pills as we go through town.
I take 4 different kind and it
comes pretty regular to get a
bottle of pills as Harley brought
me up here he went in the drug
store and got me a bottle of
pills and then to the Chronicle
office and got the paper and
envelopes to write the news and
everybody tells me to keep up
the writing.
I talked to a woman from
Louisiana the other night she
said keep on writing, I sure do
like to read it, everywhere I
go I meet someone that reads
my news and tells me to keep
up the writing that the paper
without my news is no account.
Well if it pleases the people I
don’t mind doing it for them.
I get letters from California
and Oklahoma and even got one
from Germany. And Pat, my
grandson, is in the Navy and he
says all the boys read it and
comment on it. Doris fixes din-
ner every day Monday thru Fri-
day for Nett she works out here
at the old oil mill and eats her
dinner and another lady from
Jewett eats too but she went
to Waco yesterday a brother
had passed away. Their name is
Graham, I know some Grahams
at Buffalo, in fact Sophie Ezell
was a Graham, she first mar-
ried a Ezell, Crocket Ezell, a
distant cousin to Walter and
Tom. Tom is in Houston he
went down when Lulie his sis-
ter died. I missed him but he
told Darris he would be down
several days, I dont no if they
were any kin to this lady or
not.
I went with Darris and family
to a Band Meeting Monday
night, Wanda is to be in the
Band and she rented a clarinet
for 3 months, I think that’s
mighty nice for young people
to be in a band and learn to
play the music. Wanda brought
her clarinet home she said I
don’t no if I can learn or not
but I’m going to try, well I bet
she can learn it. Jean Carol
wanted to be in the band but
Estelle told her she wanted her
to learn her books and it takes
her till 10 or 11 o’clock every
night to get her homework done.
Eddie gets his in a few minutes
he is in the same grade with
Jean some learn easier than
others and I’m afraid when the
six weeks test comes Eddie
won’t make very good grades.
He wants to be in the band
and Wanda don’t want him to
but his mother told him, if he
'wanted to.
i Nett is working at the Old
Mill I think they call it the con-
struction place, they make
| things out of clay. Nett said
they were going to make ash
trays this evening.
I will go back to Estelle’s in
a day or so. I can tell when I’m
getting tired at one place I wish
I had all my things but when
you can’t that’s a different
thing. All the time I’m with
Darris is a little while at night
and morning but I can visit
with him when Estelle washes.
Well I am at Estelle’s Harley
and Ophelia come a little while
she looked like she was surpris-
ed at me being here but when
she is in the place I am she
will understand how things
goes. I didn’t have my stay out
but I’ll go back soon.
Estelle hasn’t heard from Pat
since he went back, he could
write if he wanted to someday
he’ll wish he had. Estelle is
quilting she got one done and
one in the frames. She quilted
one on the machine and Beulah
Cain wants her to quilt 4 on
the machine, that’s the way of
making ends meet and be at
home with the children. She
sent her last calf to market, got
the returns back today and she
wasn’t satisfied with the weight
but you no you just have to
take things. She hasn’t bought
her hay for the winter yet but
will soon, the bumble bees had
taken over the bam but they
finally got them killed out she
had potatoes and onions in
there.
Tom went to Houston when
his sister died and 2 of her
girls brought him back, they
came by Estelle’s, they looked
so nice. I know Tom was glad
to get back but the girls said
he stood the trouble real good.
I sure missed him when I was
at Darris, but I am going back
soon, he like me, has a room
at Darris. I give him Walton’s
dresser, I couldn’t sell and Tom
didn’t have one so I give it and
I am proud for him. I don’t
know what became of his dad’s
and mother’s furniture, I guess
it was thrown away or he had
no where to keep it. He lived at
Walton’s sisters awhile. He says
he had rather stay with Darris
'-ban to go back to Houston as
his sister died and now nothing
but nieces and nephews and
they don’t see eye to eye.
Harley and Ophelia came by
to tell us that Mr. J. L. Black
had died at Temple hospital,
another war veteran, well he is
out of his misery.
Ophelia has been going to the
Doctor sometimes she feels bet-
ter. Mrs. Jim McNutt was juried
Wednesday morning and Mrs.
Wylie Day was buried Wednes-
day evening and now J. L.
Black, I don’t know where he
will be buried.
Bye, bye, till next time.

Farmers recently named to
serve the Agricultural Stabiliza-
tion and Conservation (ASC)
Freestone County Committee
are: John C. Sheffield, Chair-
man, Ralph H. Howell, Vice-
chairman and Joe W. Richards,
Jr. Member. Alternates elected
were Frank Bragg, First Alter-
nate and George Fulton, Second
Alternate.
The 1968 election was held at
a county convention September
25, 1968 at the ASCS Office,
Fairfield, Texas. Electors were
farmers chosen as convention
delegates at recent ASC com-
munity elections throughout the
county.
Chairman E. G. Coleman
points out that the ASC county
and community farmer-commit-
tees are in charge of local ad-
ministration of such national
farm programs as the Agricul-
tural Conservation Program, the
Cropland Adjustment Program,
the feed grain program, the up-
land cotton diversion program,
acreage allotments and market-
ing quotas, the national wool
program, and commodity price-
support loans.
The ASCS county office at
Fairfield is headquarters for the
eounty committee. a.M serves
as the farmer’s local contact
for business connected with par-
ticipation in the programs ad-
ministered by the committees.
These programs encourage con-
servation and increase farm re-
turns by means of price sup-
ports and market supply-man-

SHARES r
What are they?
Who may buy them?
'/' -"I . -
Americans have put their savings
to work for freedom through u.i>.
Savings Bonds for many years. New
Freedom Shares do the same job
... plus. Read how.
Freedom Shares are U.S. Savings
Notes. They pay a higher return
than Savings Bonds, 4.74% when
held to maturity. And they mature
in just four-and-a-half years.
For regular Bond Buyers only
These new Freedom Shares—which
are not redeemable for the first
year—arc offered on a one-for-one
basis with E Bonds, but only to
people who belong to the Payroll
Savings Plan
where they work
or the Bond-a-
Month Plan where
they bank.
There are four
denominations of
Freedom Shares,
each of which may be paired with
a Bond of the same or larger de-
nomination as a "package. ’
For instance, for $39 total, you can
purchase a Savings Bond that ma-
tures at $25 and a Freedom Share
that matures at $25.
America needs your help
When you buy Savings Bonds and
Freedom Shares you do an impor-
tant job for freedom, backing our
men in Vietnam and helping to keep
the country economically strong. The
need is urgent. What you do counts.
Tell your supervisor or the Payroll
Department where you work (or any
officer where you
bank) that you’d
like to join a Bond
purchase plan. De-
cide how much
you’ll save . . .
and just sign the
authorization card.
