The other letter was from Mrs.
Lou Allison Atkins. She was born
in Panola County in 1864, during
the Civil War. Her grandfather,
Elijah Allred, had come as a single
man to East Texas, in response to
Sam Houston's appeal for volun-
teers to help win Texas freedom
from Mexico. Mr. Allred came
alone riding "Oki Shirk" with very
simple necessities, including: "a
blanket, a frying pan, an axe, and
his trusty rifle. Arriving in Nacog-
doches, he found that the war was
over and Santa Anna had been
captured at San Jacinto."
He learned that some unclaimed

what this area was like during the
Civil War when they were children.
Though they grew up here, their
homes in adult years were away
from East Texas.
Mrs. Julia W. deSteiguer, bom
in 1848 in Alabama to the Allen
Bryon Family, came to Woods
Community. Panola County. Texas,

She gave the story as she re-
membered it of the journey from
Alabama to Texas. "They came
with their own wagon train of 15
covered wagons, one buggy, and
one closed carriage. There was the
family, fifty Negro slaves, a hired
overseer, and considerable cattle
and horses. The parents rode in the
buggy and the four younger girts
rode in the closed carriage. Two
older sisters and the boys rode
horseback."
Crossing the Mississippi River
with all those vehicles, people, and
animals on a small ferry that had to
make several trips across was a
frightening experience. The jour-
ney from Alabama took seven
weeks. They camped out at night
and cooked food over an open fire.

There are so many fresh fruits
and vegetables at their peak now
that it is hard to know where to
start with new recipes. Betty Fin-
klea brought me some big black-
berries that husband, Edd, grew in
his garden and she also gave me a
recipe that originated with Johnnie
Parker's mother-in-law years ago.
This recipe makes a delicious berry
pie and Betty says that blueberries
can be substituted for the blackber-
ries. And now that we are in to
blueberries, I will mention that I
bought some fresh blueberries at
the Farmer's Market that were

and freeze them, according to the
grower's recommendations, and use
them with a breakfast cereal or in
salads during the wintertime. If you
are in to "picking your own berries"
you can even do that at Grandpa's
Fann.
Besides the recipe for Mrs.
Parker’s Pie, which is even better
with a dip of ice cream on top. I
would like to give you a muffin
recipe that is low in fat and
cholesterol. You will need it after
the pie and ice cream!

an internship before he or she is

popular across the country uses a
computer. The Computer Voice
Stress Analyzer (CVSA) does
exactly what the name implies. The
suspect is asked certain questions
regarding an offense and the
amount of stress in his voice is
compared to questions asked that
would pose no stress, such as his
name or address. The computer
takes in that information and
processes it to determine the
amount of stress associated with a
particular question. With the CVSA
the suspect is not attached to the
machine and it can be transported
in a carrying case the size of a
briefcase.
I want to make sure you know '
that neither the polygraph nor the
Computer Voice Stress Analyzer
results are admissible in a criminal
court. They are not one hundred
percent accurate. We use them only
as another tool in an investigation.
