of applause at every concert. Freder-
ick Manchester's piano solos are re-
ceived with equal expressions of appre-
ciation.
After the concert we were tendered
a reception at the home of Judge Bul-
lock, one of the most beautiful homes
we have seen on our trip. Not all of
the men attended the reception, as they
were too tired on account of "resting"
all afternoon.

Gilmer, April 22.
We had the time of our lives at Gil-
mer, and "Tubby" alias Prof. David,
is to blame for it. Tubby was on our
Glee Club for several years and knows
just what to do in entertaining a glee
club. After being shown over the town
we were commanded to prepare imme-
diately for a reception at the magnifi-
cent home of Mr. W. C. Barnwell'. I
don't know whether all of the girls we
met at the reception belonged to Gil-
mer or not, but if they do it must be
a miracle, for never was such an array
of beauty seen on such a small section
of the earth's surface. There was
something else in evidence besides the
fair sex: "old-time" punch, four or
five courses of good things to eat and
a great, big American Beauty rose pin-
ned on the lapel of every man's coat
by the Queen of the town. The recep-
tion was followed by another car ride,
after which we were sent home to rest,
ft
The concert was given in the audi-
torium of the new high school, the best
equipped buildings we have seen. Tub-
by had the stage decorated with pen-
nants, Southwestern being in evidence
on all sides. Practically the same
things might be said about this concert
as the previous ones. It was a success
from every standpoint. Seale caused
the audience to laugh several times by
falling up the steps to the stage. He
has been reaching such low notes that
it is hard for him to raise even his feet.
Besides Tubby, we have several other
ex-S. U. students in Gilmer: Miss Sibyl
McClelland, Miss Mildred Stapp, Mr.
Allen McClelland, Mr. Geo. Croley, Mr.
Lanhara Croley, now at the State Uni-
College Men Lie

versity. Rev. H. M. Tinimona, pastor
of the Methodist church, is a brother of
our Grady Timnions. Gilmer is also the
home of Willie Crosby, the best first
.baseman 8. U. has ever had, except
"Mc." Jack Snipes also hails from
the vicinity of Gilmer.
I have not taken ariy space to tell
about the reception after the concert,
but it was equal to the first in every re-
spect, and was held at tl«> home of
Mr. J. B. Warren.
A cloud-burst struck Gilmer at just
about train time, and as a consequence
Frederick Manchester and ' Vic' Means
were left behind. Claude Willis and
the writer put on a first-class show for
Gilmer by wading and swimming to the
station and just arriving in time to be
pulled on the rear of the train by a
nigger cook from the diner.

> Pittsburg, April 24.
Pittsburg is the home of hospitality.
Every man on the club has a word of
praise for the delightful manner in
which we were entertained. Not only
were the best homes in the city thrown
open for our entertainment, but the
Pittsburg Club, with its many diver-
sions, suspended all rules for us,
Pittsburg, taking into consideration
its size, has fine schools, the grandest
churches of any town we have been in,
good banks, progressive merchants, and
is unsurpassed for beauty. Every lawn
is a flower garden and every street is
an avenue of magnificent trees. They
take pride in making Pittsburg a beau-
ty spots.
Our concert was held in the opera
house. (The building where we held
our concert is a combination public
building, opera house and library, and
has the distinction of being the first of
Andrew Carneigie's gifts along this
line). Nowhere have we been received
with such interest and expressons of de-
light as we were here. The house was
filled and we had to respond repeatedly
to the applause given, sometimes hav-
ing to repeat an encore.
Pittsburg is the home of William
Royce Garrett, an e±-S. U. student.
Rev. Leo Hopkins, another ex-student,
now preaching at Overton, came over to
hear us. '' ■>
The only thing abolit Pittsburg that
was disagreeable to us was leaving at
3:46 a. m. In order to make connection
to get to Commerce'vre'had to go to
Mt. Pleasant and stay there till 11:35
a. m. We had some difficulty at first
getting a hotel at Mt. Pleasant as the
proprietor of "one" that reminded me
very much of the organ of an Italian
organ grinder and the proprietor very
much of the educated monk wanted to
hold us up for two-grelat-big-round-dol-
lars per. But the '' per'' turned out to
be "perhaps," for we didn't stay.
Just use your imagination about what
else took place. Well, we finally got
located at the City Hotel, where we
were treated royally. My mouth waters
yet when I think of the sumptuous
breakfast we were served at the gen-
tlemanly hour of 10:30 a. m.
Commerce, April 25.
About the biggest thing in Commerce
is the East Texas Normal School and
the biggest thing about the school is
its president, Mr. W. L. Mayo. Mr.
Mayo is a great man and is making a
great school here. You have some idea
of the size of the school by the student
body which numbers over seven hun-
dred during the regular school year and
during the summer fourteen to sixteen
hundred. '
< >We were greeted by a large audience
despite the drizzling rain. The concert
was one of the best we have given. The
"manager" and the club shared hon-
ors in being called back again after the
first encore. About three hundred and
fifty were present."
In the afternoon the girls of the E.
T. N. S. gave us a reception in the par-
lors of the school. Besides the good
company and the refreshments, we were
entertained by Mrs. Mayo, Mr. Bickle,
head of the music (tajy^tmctnt, and the
son and daughter of Mrs. Mayo with
some very high class string music.
We can .not praise them too muck for
their skill in playing these instruments.
Commerce is the home of one of last
year's students, Miss Elisabeth Ridley.
