ALBANY, N. Y„ Aug. 16. It pos-
sibly isn’t veiy interesting to most of
you folks, to know just what we are
doing on our trip, because all of you
have traveled, some more extensively
than others and experiences pretty
much tally, while of course there art-
some whose observance, if printed,
would possibly make a good human
interest story. We will see how this
one turns out. and if you like it, tell
Mr. Davis, and he will get word
to me to write some more. 1 want to
thank those who forwarded fan mail
to our permanent address in Hous-
ton, saying that they enjoyed reading
what i had to write in the Anvil
Herald. However, I have neglected
you «idly, because, for one thing we
have been traveling with such few
stop-overs that there was very little
time to write and 1 am supplying sev-
eral other weekly newspapers with a
column besides the good ole Anvil
kill, a big truck tryin’ to cm.. Ir
f-ort of us has to stop and the big.
hurley driver, hellers at me to “get
that darn thing out of mv way’’, that
made me mad so I told nim to go to
hell.
Well, folks, next week we will tell
you about our trit* down the Susque-
hanna River Valley and a very in
teresting story of cities more than 1 I
and 50 thousand inhabitants that are
totally undermined, by coal mines.
Mrs. O. B. Taylor entertained t-vo
tables of contract players, including
the Wednesday Club and several
guests, this week. Mrs. R. W.
Speece won the high score prize.

week.
After spending a day in Philadel-
phia, we left Sunday for New York
City, before reaching the city, our
short stops included, Ticnton, Eliza-
beth, Newark, Jersey City and Ho-
boken. At Hoboken we took the fer-
ry over to New York City.
After getting comfortably located,
the lady who is traveling with me was
pretty much tired after the day’.1
travel and duckin’ out of one big
city into a bigger one, so she fixed
herself all comfy for a good rest, b -
cause we were going to whoop cm
up a bit that night in the big city.
So when she went to bed 1 went out
and got me a bottle of beer, then
1 had another one. well, you know
1 aw it goes, when you're tryi ig to
tied the best root t-> pass off the
time at. Anyhoo’. we had a nice time
that night at Coney Island and the
next day we visited the World's Fair.
We didn’t see a third of the sights
and couldn’t if we stayed there a
week. At the British Pavillion, there
was continuously all day, latest news
| reels from G;eat R:itain. Well the
! lady don’t care much about the
i things I like to see, so we planned to
meet at a certain place at a certain
time, and when we did she was plum
tired of the World’s Fair, there was
just too much of it, and too, just
look how fast the money gets away,
and I knew that a yen was coming on
fer them wide open spaces.
Upon arriving back: at our hotel,
I asked my lady companion, how she
liked New York, for that was her
first trip in the big city. She said,
‘‘I like it lots better than Jersey
City, Hoboken or Philadelphia, but
there is too much to see and I’d rath-
er be anywhere in Texas, please take
me away from here, I want to go
South.”
So the next morning, I remember-
ed our plans, that we would travel
many places that we had missed on
other trips during the years that we
had been traveling previously. So
instead of returning back across the
ferry to Jersey City, and on south
the way we came in, I headed north
! on Broadway, bordering the Hudson
River, through Yonkers, Hastings,
Harmon and when we stopped for
lunch at Ossing, that married lady
took a regular fit when she found
out that we were traveling due north
instead of south, apd when she learn-
| ed that w e were headed on a straight
! line for Canada, there had to be a
i compromise. That we would just go
|as far north as Albany, the Capitol
I of N. Y. State, and then head south.
|So folks that’s why we are here nowi
| instead of somewhere in Canada.
This story has already taken up
more than my alloted space in the
Anvil Herald, but I would just like to
mention a couple of very interesting
spots we passed on our way to Al
bany. Just a mile or so past the litthi
I city of Hyde Park, we came to the
| 'beautiful estate of our President.
While a high iron fence, bordered
'with trees which hide the interior
from the inquisitive public, blocked
our view, we knew' that on that very
day Mr. Roosevelt was holding a
press conference here, and stationed
in front of the big iron gate was an
armed guard, who didn’t look like he
would let any one by. Directly op-
posite the gate to the estate, is St.
James Church, which fairly reeks
with history, and the church which
the President attended when a child.
A little farther on, only a few yards,
is the fabulous estate of Mr. Vander-
I hilt, while we are taking a peek at
that, a guy wants to know if w<-
i want to buy the place, and we told
him that we wouldn’t think of it un-
j less we could have Hyde Park too.
The next spot of real interest, is
i the small town of Kinderhook. There
j by the roadside is the house of his-
tory, and to the east about a quar-
ter of a mile was the home of Presi-
J dent Van Buren. On Saturday, Aug-
ust 10th, Kinderhook celebrated it's
1300th anniversary.
Arriving in Albany, the city starts
at the river and goes straight up the
| side of a mountain to the State
House, where the streets level off
for a new start up on some more
mountains. Well, comine- in one of
our cylinders are missin’, don’t know
where we lost it, hut we do know
that we gotta get to the top of that
Col. W. G. Bell was here the mid-
dle of the week from Austin, look-
ing after busine>--s connected with tho
Odom estate. Col. Bell is the hus-
br>nd of the only living sister of tl>e
1: te Col. Odom. Mrs. Bell spent part
of her girlhood days in Hondo, be-
f< re he family moved to Austin, and
st 11 has a “homey” feeling in her
h< art for Hondo.
The summer commencement ex- r-
cLes of Southwest Texas State

Marcos August 21. Among the* 21*
