Observations by the Way.
I spent last night with Mr.
and Mrs. Hancock, sitting before
a warm fire, for tt was cold. The
sun is shining'this morning, and
it looks good to me. I am going
to drive over at A. R Barrett’s.
I can’t afford to ge» out now, as
mr side is still hurting me.
1 have found a number of
cases of scarlet fefrer in my
rounds this week. The sun is
setting and Miss Harris is get-
ting supper, which will be a good
one, for she is a good cook. Mr.
and Mrs. Barrett have a happy
fireside.
In addition to being a somnam-
bulist, they accuse me of talking
in my sleep. 1 am sorry, for
my messags is one of good cheer
and happiness.
After leaving Mr. Barrett’s
this morning I drove over to Dog
Creek. I here met J. R. Merritt
He says that in an early day two
neighbors tell out oyer the cor-
nering point of their land. • The
surveyor could not pacify them,
and so as a fitting name he called
this dog creek. I stopped in the
Jim Butler community. The old
gentleman has been dead a long
time, bat his two sons still live
here at the old homestead. Allie
and Tom Butler have been here
many years. Their mother still
lives with them! She is 71 years
old.
Tomorrow is Trades Day at
Leonard and I am going to make
it Bonham News day also.
While in Trenton I met an old
schoolmate of Jesse P. Luton,
Mr. B. E. Dver, who is in the
drug business. I found him
nice clever’gentleman. I stopped
to see Mrs. Susie Mitchell. She
has been here for 37 years. She
is the daughter of D. C.jMitchell,
and a reader of Thb News.
lam stopping for the night at
the Umbarggr private boarding
house in Leonard. I am ready
tor tomorrow’s work.
Well it’s morning again
met Jim Shiels iust now. He
had just returned from Austin.
He said while he was there he
met' several prominent men wno
asked him who the fellow Luton
is who is-writing for The News.
They said one would think from
these letters that Fannin County
is a little heaven in itself.OThose
people up there must be the best
people on earth and the country
the finest in the world. My re-
ply to this is that it’s a fact,
can not and will not lie about it
If you want to learn the truth
about these things, just quit bor-
rowing your neighbor’s paper and
subscribe tor The News.
The candidates are here to-day
as thick as blackbirds around
hay stack. This country is noted
for fat men and beautiful women
and vour scribe has associated
with them until he is beginning
to get fat and beautiful. Ate din
ner today with Mrs. G. A. Diggs.
After raking in a lot of wheels
for The News,' am ready for
another round,
I have just met a son of Wm
Boutwell, who died a number of
years ago. He was a good and
true m»n. ,1 recognized his boy
by the favor, and told him who
he was before I had been told
The son is F A. Boutwell and
was born in this county 50 years
ago,
I bid adieu to the people

kindness to me and The Bonham
News will never be forgotten,
followed Scott Brown home this
evening. I always feel at home
at his house. I will spend the
night here. Mr. and Mrs. Brown
are among my besUfriends.
This is Sunday morning, and I
am going to drive to Bonham. I
Stopped just now at the Baptist
church at Orangeville, and heard
some good music. The choir is
composed of seven young men
and the organist, Mrs. Jewell
Patterson. They can surely sing.

on some things, but we do so
honestly.1 He is my brother and
I am his, each wanting to do
right.
At Moore’s gin I learned that
Pate Jones was kicked by a horse
and from all accounts was in
quite a serious condition.
v While at Emmett Hendricks'
store Aunt Jane Moore, the
mother of smiling An^e, came in.
I have known Mrs. Moore for 40
vears. She has lived in Fannin
Countv 54 years. She is in her
74th year and is reasonably
strong. She is one of God’s no-
bid women, full of love and
Christianity, patiently waiting
to be called up higher.
Wheat and oats are looking
fine. There has been more sown
than usual this year.*
Am now at the Gordon Dunn
farm—040 acres—it is in fine con-
dition. As the stock law is in
effect in this country Mr. Dunn
has taken his fence down.
I made a full stop at Gober."
The Woodmen are building a
nice two story building. The
upper story will be used as a
lodge room. Night found me at
my old friend’s, George Arm-
strong, 4 miles north of Wolfe
City. Mr. Armstrong is one of
the county’s best citizens; he is
54 years old and has been id this1
county 33 years. Mrs. Armstrong
was reared in the good old State j ]an(l ^ m
of Tennessee. Mr. Armstrong is !
a cotton raiser.. He will plant 500
acres this year, and 125 in corn, j
He has a beautiful farm of 700i
acres. He runs his farm with
hired help and share croppers.
He works 24mules. Mr. Arm-
mules and cattle. These people
live at home. On last Wednes-
day this country was visited by a
tine rain.
It is trying on the boy this
morcing; I have to wear an over

was too hot to be comfortable.
I am doing real well, and still

a fine lot of bees, 22 hives, and
one of these hives weighs 100
pounds.

Headaches and
Eye Strain.
Many, who for years have
suffered from chronic sick
headaches, using drugs of
all kinds without benefit,
have found immediate re-
lief in properly fitted glasses
because eye strain was the
cause. We fit them prop-
erly and remove the strain.
