at this time. There has boon
twenty-eight deaths in the Home
since Jan. 1st, last. 1 do not
know who will be our next su-
perintendent, but I believe Col.
sure will faint and fall unto my
manly bosom when the hulls
begin to tear the poorblind-fold-
Tom Campbell will appoint the ed horses to.pieces, and maybe
right man for the place. The
major portion of the inmates of
the Home rejoiced when Col.
Campbell was nominated and
his nomination has upset the
calculations of many a man in
Texas. 1 voted for him and
Smith Garrison, but I can’t help
but rejoice that Sam Sparks
was the nominee. It is the end
ot nepotism and tree-passes,
ahd this country will be more
ou an equality. But the gov-
9 eniur-elect will have a great
deal to think about when he
gets to Austin. What surprises
me is that so many of the at-
taches in the capital voted for
Torn Campbell. His wife- was
born m Bolton, Hinds county,
Miss., and is a daughter of one
of my brigade. From reading
the Round-up, you must have
some as refined and cultured
and intelligent ladies in Cisco <
as then* is in state of Texas.
Oh, how 1 do enjoy reading Mrs.
Alexander’s contributions to the
Round-up. She is a good writer
and explains everything so well.
• 1 would like to meet her and
hear her talk. I think that she
would interest me. In the old
state of Mississippi and in the
^ northeast part there is a station
™ on the Mobile \ Ohio railroad
named for the MayheW family,
and 1 had just before the war
two school mates by that name.
We went to Somerville Institute,
Noxubee county, Mississippi.
They were from Mnyhew Sta-
tion. When you see Comrade
Cooper, say to him that our
Captain W. K. Browtf of Madi-
sonville, Mississippi, died very
suddenly the latter part of last
August. The city of Austin is
building up right along. There
are hew residences being built
in various parts of the city, and
a great many families are mov-
W ing here for the benefit of the
schools, There is nothing like
good schools in a town or city—
that is the way to build up a
town or city. The county of
Eastland has one representative
in this Home. His name is
Dick Johnson, and he certainly
does enjoy the rights and privi-
leges of the Home as much so
as any inmate here. 1 see that
the Free State of Van Zandt
went dry. That was good news
k to me. I have not taken a drink
W of whisky, wine or beer this
year. I get along very well
