MR. C. E HU TCHINS
RETURNS FROM TEXAS
Tells News Readers cf Tilings Seen
and Heard While in the Lone
Star State.
Editor News:
Just before the Christmas holidays
I.left Winder for a visit to the Lone
Svar State, and with your permission
will tell your readers cf what I sa(*>v
and heard while away.
'trains usually run slow at Christ
mas time and we had stop-overs in
Atlanta, New Orleans and Birming
ham. We arrived at Corsicana, Tex.
December, 24th, and were met by rel
atives, and driven twelve miles over
pike road to Barry : n the Black Bmt. i
mi surprised at this land being so
level. They do all the farming with
r'd'ng implements. The smallest
farmers tends what they call a two
team crcp, and cultivates from one
to"-two hundred acres. They
an average crop of about one-i.:all
bale per acre, hut I saw as much as
aeies in one body that made
last year a bale per acre.
As the old saying gees, “I had net
been out cf the yard,” so it was a
treat to me to see this country, and
I my folks made me have such a gco<
time in Texas and in New Orleans.
They say the seasons are' getting
better in Texas each year, but there
is a bitter Where there is a sweet, i
talked with a man who lived farther
west in the same state. He said it
had not rained since last June. 1
saw men hauling water and it did
net rain while I was there. Still, it
is a fine country.
At Corsicana are located the state
homes of the Orphans and Veterans
f Odd Fellows. About 700 child
T-. ii are housed and educated there in
t\yo magnificent buildings. The j
state headquarters are located here
in a/beautiful building owned by
them.
f i r ode from Corsicana to Dallas
on an interurban line, which is a six
ty five mile run. On this line is a
place named Hutchins. When the
conductor called the name I jumped
up and answered sir. Dallas is a
fine c'ty, and it is said, has doubled
in population since the last census.
I left Texas on first day of 1917,
by way of Shreveport to New Orleans
1 woke up the next morning anion}
the rice and sugarcane fields of Lou
isfiana. I took a seat on the observa
tion platform. The flagman, whc
was an old man, but jolly, said tc
me:
“That’s right son; take a goot
look at this land. You won’t set
any more after you leave Orleans
Yes, you will; you will cross a scope
of country they call Gctl’s country.
.The Lord couldn’t give it to anyone,
so He kept it for himself. It u
where they manufacture heat. Peo
pie go there to die so they will be
used to heat.”
Before this old gentleman said
this I had my route mapped out, but
after this remark I did net know
wjtoch way I would travel to Georgia.
I arrived at New' Oleans at 8 o clock
and stayed t.iere two days. Til’s is
a most interesting place. The old
French cemetery is enclosed with a
brick wa’l thick enough to receive a
coffin endways. This wall has
vaults in it. You rent or buy these
vaults fer so many years, I was
told, and when your lease runs out
they epen it and bury some other pei
s4r in the same place. This is the
■oldest cemetery in the city. Many
of the dats run back into the
Seventeenth Century. Many cf the
Spanish an French colonists art
buried here.
The city’s park contains 160 acres
laid out with pretty walks and flowei
beds with a chain of lakes running
through it. Everything was bloom
dug and vegetation looked as if it
■were the month of May. At the end
of this park is located the alligator
ttKnfter JXcms.

W. T. APPLEBY
COMES BACK HOME
Mr. W. T. Appleby, for ten years
Tax Collector cf Jackson county, is
now a full-fledged Barrow county citi
zen.
Than Mr. Appleby, few men in
Jackson county, and in the portion
of Barrow cut from Jackson, have
more loyal friends, political and per
sonal.
It will be remembered that Mr.
Appleby was elected Tax Collector
of Jackson county for the fifth term
just before Barrow was created.
This necessitated his re ignation or
removal from Winder to Jackson
county. Not wishing to break faith
with the people he moved to Jeffer
son and served out his term.
In the elections last spring, he was
not a candidate, as he desired to re
tire from politics and move back to
the county where he owns residential
and farm property.
Mr. Appleby was one of the 'best ol
f'cials Jackson county ever had, care
ful, kind and generous. We welcome
him back home, and commend him
to all Barrow county as a good citi
zen.
The Kabo Ccrstt, best in the work
for sale at J. L. Saul’s.
and ostrich farm. . was told some
of these alligators are 130 years old.
Leaving the |park I went through Ca
nal Street which is the jam and
squeese of New' Orleans. At the
end of this street is the harbor. I
took a thirty mile ride on the steam
ship Sidney along the river. This
is an interesting trip. Yod will see
ships from all parts of the world,
floating dry docks, modern steel
freight docks, mammoth grain eleva
tors, new r cotton warehouses, capaci
ty 3,000,000 bales; naval stations, im
migration station, crude oil station
sugar refinery and U. S. barracks
Here you can see vessels loaded foi
foreign ports, and vessels unloadei
for the states.
Two city markets are interesting
and worth while. Here you can get
the choicest meats, fish and oysters
and all kinds of vegataples.
While in New' Orleans I saw a mai
whose eyes were affected. The dcc-
ter advised him to try glasses. 1
went into a salccn and tried six
and when he came out he could see
double.
But I am back home in Georgifj
After all is written, Georgia is t 1
state, Barrow the County and Win
der the city for me.
Wishing all a prosperous and hap
py New Year. C. E. Hutchins
Winder, Barrow County, Ga., Thursday, January 11, 1917.
