Observations by the May.
Sept. 19, 1910.
For a change, as I dislike city
life, Joe and I found our way
late this afternoon out six miles
south to the home of W. W-
Witcher and wife. He is an all-
round farmer and stock man.
Married 36 years, and reared
three daughters and one son, all
married and doing well.
Crops 'here are as good, if not
better, than last year. Mrs.
Witcher has over 300 fowls,
while W. W. has Poland China
hogs. He has forty head of
registered ones that are hard tb
beat, He has. plentv to feed
them on. Talk about a failure
in Fannin - Countv! - Laziness i*
a failure anywhere. Work makes
crops. Fannin County’s banks
running oVer with money
that belongs to the farmers and
half their crops have not been
sol4' So dry up, and cheer up,
early and stay late, the
bottom rail is on top and going
to stay there. Only town people
live out of paper sacks.
Sept. 20.
Mrs. Witcher is an early riser,
saw the morning star this
morning while sitting by the
stove helping her get breakfast.
After leaving there I stopped at
I. J. Robinson’s store. Crops
very good, cotton making half
a bale to the acre, corn 20 bush-
els or more. A mile from there
I stopped in. front of Winfield
Sifford’s beautiful new residence,
which is an ornament to the
community. Why not the farm-
er beautify bis home, make it at-
tractive and thus make life
brighter and induce the children
to stay on the farm instead of
rushing off to the city? They
can be educated to love the farm
until they will not want to leave,
it. As little as you think it the
average man in town works more
hours per day and more davs in
the year, has more worry and
less freedom than the man on
the farm. God bless ottr country
hem ;s where the old oaken buck-
et, the moss-covered bucket
hangs in the well.
- I visited J. L. Edwards at the
o^l J. F. Baxter place and found
him in bed from an attack of
billious colic. I then went on to
F. G. Meek’s in the suburbs of
Bailey. Mr. Meeks has been a
reader of The News for 26 years
He is an old Confederate soldier
who was with Bragg. He was
in the big fight at Murfreesboro.
Crops around here are good
and water is scarce. Joe and
arrived in Bailey and found it
hot as hades and three times as
dry. This country has the cot-
ton and the cash and the people
are reading the Bonham News.
Some people are discouraged
oyer having to haul water.
Cheer up. We alwavs have a
big cotton crop when we haul
water in August and September.
After a hard day’s work rak-
ing in the wheels, I am stopping
touight with C. T. Turner.
Sept. 21.
After a pleasant night with
Mr. Turner and wife I left with
a wheel for The News and am
now on my wav njoicing gather-
ing in Jhe sheaves.
Mv next stop was at Ike
Smith’s, four miles south-east*of
Bailey. Crops here about the
same as last year, but water not
so plentiful. Ike has a beautiful
daughter, Miss May, and vou
will hear from her in a few days
through The News.
I took dinner with G. L. Sav-
age. The grasshoppers injured
the crops here considerably. Mr.
savage says they damaged him
at least $300. Tnis between
Hickory Creek and Bailev. It
felt this morning like the world
was coming to an end and all

that was lacking was the brim-
stone. The five wheels collected
was all that sayed Joe and John.
I stopped out of the burning sun
at N. B. - Stansell’s. On last
Thursday night his old mother,
Mrs. Mary A. Stansell, after be-
ing an invalid for three years,
passed over the river to rest under
the shade of the trees. It was
but closing her eves on earthly
scenes to open them on the never
fading light of eternity’s shores.
She was 89 years old and had
been a member of the Baptist
church for 63 years.
I came back to Bailey and
found much corn being shipped
from here, Price 55 cents. Bli-
ley is a fine little town, and the
people here are good folks. I
stopped with F. M. Turner for
the night. Frank says his cot-
ton and corn will not be quite so
good as last year, but the price
is good enough to make up for
all shortage. His six children
pick three bales of cotton per
week. He has plenty of corn
and fat hogs.
The turkey crop is short this
rear, but the chicken crop is
good.
Sept. 22.
Had a fine night’s rest, and am
at work again. I stopped this
morning to see Mrs. J. T. Leslie
and her mother, Mrs. Mary Fen-
ner. They will continue to read
The News. I stopped a few
minutes at L- F. Sifford’s, and
^ound Mrs. Sifford sick with the
chills. A tine rain fell it? the
>Hickoiy Creek community last
night.
Noon found me with my old
friend, J. W. Gregory. Jim is a
big-hearted man, and a big
bodied man. He is not rich in
purse, but he is rich in love.
After rearing a family ot his own
he is now rearing three grand-
children, and they love him as if
he were their father. Jim is not
living for himself alone. He has
a hue daughter, Miss Belle, and
she can pick 300 pounds of cot-
ton a day, If I had had a sack
I think I would have picked a
few davs myself.

ter Arrived here in time to attend
the funeral. ^
Funeral services were held at
the Grove Hill Baptist church
Friday evening conducted by
Rev. Sumner of Wolfe City. In
terment was made in the Groye
Hill cemetery. A large concourse
of sorrowing friends and ac-
quaintances gathered at the silent
city to pay their last respects to
this grand old mother in Israel.
“Aunt Polly" Stansell, as she
was familiarly known, was truly
a noble and faithful woman and
was dearly beloved by all who
knew h**r. None ever entered
! her home without a warm wel-
come nor left without feeling the
warmth of a genuine hospitality,
so characteristic of the people of
her ancestry. Disease did not
destroy the charm of a kind and
indulgent dispositiou, nor old
age diminish her unselfish solici-
tude for her friends and loved
ones. Adhering to the faith ot
her fathers, she united with the
Baptist church in early life and
loved to attend its services when
health permitted.
To the bereaved sons and other
relatiues who mourn the death of
this good woman we extend our
tenderest sympathy.
9:30 and closed at 12:20.
The program included special
music, talks, drills, class work,
readings, songs, hands shakes,
smiles and prayer. There was
not an idle moment. There was
not a dull moment. Every num-
ber on the program was first
class, and it truly was a great
love feast of Christian workers.
At 10:^0 a count was held and
455 were present, and many capi-

was learned that Grandma Stan-

useful life and at a ripe old age
she answered the call ol the great

When You Think
Of the pain which many women experience with every
month it makes the gentleness and kindness always aseeei-
ated with womanhood seem to be almost a miracle.
While in general no woman rebels against what siw re-
gards as a natural necessity there is no woman who would
not gladly be free from this recurring period of pain.

better health in that organ is obtained
quickest by a proper treatment of the kid-

the night. The mild and immediate effect
of Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy

The Werk of fetal a Well far Oil art
Gas Beiaa Yesterday Near Ra-
venna. Company Very
Hnpefnl.
Yesterday the Fannin County
Oil, Coal and Gas Co., began tbe
actual work of sinking a well on
the L. C. Penwell place near Ra-
venna. The work is under the
personal supervision of L. M.
Allen, an expert oil driller from
Corsicana. - •
The company are very hopeful
of the prospect for finding oil or
gas and propose to drill to a
depth sufficient to find what they
seek or else to satisfy them that
they have not drilled at the right
point. They wtll sink other
wells if they do not succeed with
the first one.
Expert oil men are sati fied
that an oil bed exists somewhere
in this county, and it il can be
found will prove a profitable
field. Here’s hoping the Fannin
Countv Oil, Coal and Gas (>„
may be the o^es to find it.
