COTTAGE BEND.
Qnite a number on the sick list.
Little Raymond, Dulaney, Mr.
Jas. Bodine and Mr. Lee Bybee
have all been quite sick, but are
able to be up now.
Mrs. S. L. Bybee and Mrs. R.
B. Thomas are still on the sick
list.
The farmers have caken advan-
tage of the pretty weather. You
could see from one to four teams
going in every field and as a re-
sult a great many oats have been
sown. A few have planted corn.
Mrs. Bettie Turpin, of Bon-
ham, has been visiting Mr. and
Mrs. S. R. Clinkinbeard. She
■will leave in a few days for Sul-
phur Springs to make that her
future home.
There was a box supper at the
school house last week, although
the weather was yery unfavora-
ble. We realized the neat little
sunt of $32. A cake was given to
the handsomest young lady and a
walking cane to the ugliest man.
It was very amusing to see the
interest taken in the voting and
everyone present seemed to enjoy
themselves.
Renfro, of Lannius, at-
tended the box supper here.
Mrs. M. A. Barton was called
to Randolph about three weeks
ago to be at the bedside of her
mother, who has been sick for
sometime. At last reports her
mother was better.
Well, Laddie, you told us in
your last letter about living a
way down in the sticks. You
should have been with me last
Tuesday. We started to Lannius,
not thinking the roads were very
bad, but when we got out east of
Bonham we thought they
very, very bad. We were too far
to turn back, however, so we just
went ahead the best we could. It

just looked like the mules were visit at Austin and went out to
pulling a chunk of mud with us
sitting on top of it, as you could
not see a wheel on the wagon,
but we finally pulled into Lan-
nius about 4 o’clock; stayed all
night and it rained more that
night, so next morning we had
to get another team to help pull
our chunk of mud home (for we
did not want to lose it, as we had
a very good wagon ih the middle
of it). We pulled it in home
about 2 o’clock and left it stand-
ing in front of the house, and
now the mud has dropped off un-
til you can tell it has been a wa-
gon at one time. So, if you ever
leave the sticks in a wagon you
had better wait until the mud
dries up. * Ruth.
DODD CITY.
Black Gay* of Lannius, was
her§ several days last week de-
livering fruif trees. He was
representing a Sherman nursery,
and doing a very good business.
R. H. Beasley, of Lannius, was
in our town last Thursday look-
were ^ ing as fat and cheerful as ever.
Mr. Morgan, a merchant of
Hail, and his family came in
Saturday afternoon from a week’s* old man, but I wish
, r *
' their home at Hail.
Our town was somewhat de-
populated two or three days last
week because of so many going
to the county hub.
W. T. Gray, Jack Gray and
Geo. Hodges, left here Saturday
evening with six car-loads of cat-
tle for the St. Louis market.
They went over the Katy.
J. C. Biggs and J. C. Jones left
Sunday afternoon for Paris to at-
tend the Federal court as jurors
from this place.
The rains the past week have
retarded the farmers very much
with their work. There has
been but very little corn planted,
however they should not be dis-
couraged, but plant an early
variety of corn and plenty other
feed stuff, such as sorghum, mil-
let, pumpkins and sweet potatoes
and not depend entirely on The
cotton crop, cut down the cotton
crop at least seventy-five per
cent.
I see a great deal in the papers
about that grand old hero, John
H' Reagan. I do not propose to
take up much of your valuable
^ space in speaking of this grand
suggest
that it would be benefiting for
every confederate veteran camp
throughout the sunny Southland
to hold a memorial service in
memory of this grand old Chris-
tian hero, because he is the last
one of the confederate cabinet,
and I would suggest that the
daughters of the confederacy do
the same thing.
I see in the papers that a Dal-
las company is figuring on build-
ing an interurban from Green-
ville to Bonham via Wolfe City
or Ladonia. We want them to
make Dodd City a point on their
route. It would not be much out
of their way, and would perhaps
pay them as well as any part of
their line. It wduld traverse a
rich and thickly settled territory.
It would be a great benefit to
this part of Fannin county.
Jas. D. Pearson, of Hilger, was
on our streets last Saturday.
J. F. Lee, assistant county as-
sessor, at Bonham, came home
Saturday afternoon to spend Sun-
day with his family.
Robt. Johnson, of Hilger, was
in the city Monday morning.
J. P. Griffen is slowly improv-
ing, we are glad to note.
Rev. L. P. Smith filled his
regular appointment at the
Methodist church Sunday morn-
ing and evening.
I am yours as ever,
Amicus.
selfs.
The sun is shining in all her
glory. It tones up our nerves
and we feel good.
Mrs. Wilkins, who has been
very sick at her father’s, - N. H.
Hilton, is improving.
Dr. Fred Bell is - now salesman
in a dry goods store here.
W. B.'Bell returned Saturday
from Bonham, where he has been
serving on the jury. .
Messrs. W. Wilkins and II. L.
Hilton went to Lamasco Monday.
Bro. Weathers addressed the
students at the college Tuesday
night at 7 o'clock.
Bill made a flying trip to Ector
Fridav. I saw Bro. J. W. Alder-
son, our B. Y. P. U. secretary,
and, after consultation, ordered a
meeting of the executive commit-
tee on Saturday, March 18th, for
the purpose of deciding when to
hold our next Convention.
Laddie, I’ll try to do better
from this on. I guess it is more
neglect than anything else.
Well, we have had another
great meeting of our young peo-
ple since the last writing. There
has been one more conversion.
Miss Maude Ferris. We thank
God for such meetings and for
such young people as we have
here. Bill.
