Rev. N. G. Mile started a meeting
here Saturday night before the sec-
ond Sunday in September. Brother
Sfclcer came in on Monday night af-
ter the third Sunday, and they were
together until the fourth Sunday.
Then Bro. Mize went home. Bro. Sel-
cer preached Christ to them until
Sunday, Oct. 4th. There were many
professions. They made arrangements
foi a camp meeting here next sum-
mer.
Uncle George Taylor, Dr. Williams,
Watt Roulett, Uncle Dan Melton and
Bro. Albert Woods are the committee.
They took up a collection to finish the
shed and fix the ground for the meet1
ing. One hundred and five dollars
were made up and much more could
have been made up.
I wrote in my items a year that a
preacher got $1.05, and a show came

Sunday morning we went to the
eighty second birthday. He showed
us the log house in which he was
bom. It then stood in Madison coun-
ty, Tennessee. A few years ago the
matron of the school had this log
heuse moved to Texas, and built just
as near like it was as could be. In
this house is his father’s old books
and his rifle gun and walking cane.
Also his mother’s old spinning wheel,
and an old-time rag carpet on the
floor. Some quilting work of his
mother’s hanging on the wall, the
thimble she quilted with is on the end
THE RESULT OF THE FOURTH COUNT
TOWN AND COUNTRY.
(Concluded from last week.)
Mrs. Jon^s accompanied us through
the town. We visited a dry goods
store called the Fair. There we met
a Mrs. Singleton, who formerly
was Miss Tommie Tarpley, some more
cf our kinfolks. We then went to the
Armour and Swift Packeries. It was
just at the noon hour and the biggest
sight was- the work hands as they sat
around on the beautiful lawn to take
their rest.
Being there just at this hour we
were not avowed to be shown through
th^entire building.*We looked around
yj. what we suppose was the sample
room and saw some of the things they
made of the cow bones and horns
There is scarcely any part of the beef
cattle lost. The bones are ground up
in powder and used for some purpose;
the horns are worked up into hair pins
and perhaps combs and bone buttons,
all of which we could see. The en-
trals are thoroughly cleansed and
made into tripe and canned and ship-
ped to different parts of the country
Then there is the hog. No part of
him is lost. He is killed and thrown
into the hot water and started down
the line and almost by the time he is
dead he has gone through the entire
process and comes out at the other
end of the line ready for packing.
Their entrals are thoroughly dressed
and made into chitlings which is very
foie.
It is said that even the squeal of
the hog as he is being killed is not

of the walking cane. The logs of this
house were cut and hewn 95 years
ago. On the same ground stands a
small log house that is the first dwel-
ing house that was built in the state
ol Texas this side of Red River. It
was the first court house in Dallas
county and was once useef as a post-
office, and later was the first house
they had in the beginning of Buck-
rer’s Orphan Home which was 36
> ears ago.
There are 625 children in the home
row from little babies to grown up
young men and women. They have
cared for more than eight thousand
children since its beginning. The
cost of feeding them has been $125
pei day in cash. It takes more now
as provisions are higher. Mrs. Cole-
man, a daughter of Brother Buckner,
is matron of the school. Miss Claudie
White was our pilot to show U3
through the building. Everything
that is carried on in a wTell-kept home
is carried cn here, only in different
ways. Machinery is used in every-
thing that can well be used. The large
dining hall is wonderful. There are ta-
bles and plates for all of the children
to eat at once. Every child knows
his place. They are all marked in
order and take their places and then
all of them sing and then eat their
meal. The bed rooms are something
wonderful. Every tfne knows his bed
and his place to sleep. Each one has
his or her gown under the pillow ready
for them. Every thing is kept clean
and in order.
We wer;* conducted to the music
hall where Miss Pearl Whitley gave
us some fine music. All in all this
was a great trip as well as a treat,
r ather Buckner is a wonderful man
with a wonderful mind and memory,
and a big heart and a lovable dispo-
sition.
Tuesday, the 29th, as we went down
m town we came in contact with the
big street parade^ as it wTas show day
for Barnuvn-Bailey show. After the
parade was over we went to the de-
pot and took the train for Bonham,
coming in on the five o’jclock train,
thus ending my trip, which was an en-
joyable one.
This was the trip of my life. I
met Claude Gray in Dallas; also Clar-
ence Gray, who came back to Bonham
with me.
