A LETTER FROM TEXAS.
(Greenville, Texas, April 7,
1909.—I believe I will write just
one more letter, if you will be so
kind as to print it.
Say! what Ini'- got the matter
with those M nrrav county people?
1ftliev only knew how good I
love them and how 1 love to read
a few lines from them, I hon¬
estly believe they would write
more letters for the paper tiian
they do.
Annie has always been send¬
ing mo to the office every Sun¬
day evening to get The Murray
News, to get to read the news
from home. But she is loosing
the interest in the piper, that
she once had, Hut 1 go to the
office on my own accord.
1 had begun to think that my
friends had all gone back on me,
but bless my soul they haven’t,
for I saw in last week’s paper,
some good lady at Mart, Texas,
wrote a letter and mentioned my
name. Her name was Mrs.
Piemens. I think I once knew
lge lady and if 1 remember
light she was John Adair’s
daughter. I don’t remember
which one of the Plenums
boys ihe married. Any how the
[’lemons name sounds very fa
milliar to me.
There vus a young lady hack
there »n .Murray county that i
thought a whole lot of and her
unrria was Plenums, that was be¬
fore 1 cottiineijc -d going with
Annie. It was a long time after
me and Annie married thut she
would allow me to acknowledge
that 1 ever did ih.dk any inhgof
any other girl but her. But now
she don’t seem to care so much
for me talking over old times.
Lire older Annie gets the better
she is and she hasn’t lost any of
her beauty yet to me.
Now 1 know that some of you
people back there that are get¬
ting old, think I ought tojjbe
thinking about something else
besides girls, but bless your soul
[ just cannot help it,
1 will say to Mrs. Plomons, of
Matt Texas, I want her to write
me and Annie a personal letter
and tell us which one of the boys
she married.
I will say to those who are in¬
terested in me that I am coming
t ) Georgia this summer, if I have
to take a tie ticket and I will
find out then what is the matter.
Ones anybody back there know
Dr. Price Bates? I heard he had
bought' the L’umlin farm and
gone to farming. I never will
forget how g.Kid those plums use
to taste to me when I wa3 a hoy.
Those line plums grew on the fa¬
mous Tumi in farm. 1 am glad
Dr. Price got that place for it is
a healthy place.
I don't see anything more in
the paper about Col. J.J. Bates'
Sunday School Celebration, I
dont want him to let that fall
through. I will try to be there
and speak, twinkle, twinkle, lit¬
tle star. I uso to think when I
spoke twinkle, twinkle, little
star, that I would some dav
make a great Orator, but you see
[ faded. But 1 ’shore” did do
some good taking along early in
SI ami if my daddy-in-law hail
got. ciose to me ita would have
made me do some good running,
that’s the truth.
Amue got a letter from one of
tier cousins that was raised 111
Murray county She lives at
Arab, Ala. She was aMiss Hur
line Stanford, she stated that
she get married last Christmas
to a Mr. Jap Isenhower, a boy
that 1 went to school with at Su¬
mach and he was a good old boy.
It seems to me that they were
not in as big a hurry as me and
Annie were.
Well I will tell you all some
thing about our farming pros¬
pects. Every thing is
rather battering, except we are
beginning to need some rain.
Tne most of the upland corn has
bee „ plowed over the first time;
the most of the farmers are
planting cotton, The land is
better shape than I have ever
seen it at this season of the year.
bast year’s cotton crop is
all sold. I bought 52 bales this
week and paid 9 to 91-4 cents
bag round, don’t know of more
than 50 bales not sold. .
Not knowing the Editor, I had
better ring off.
I hope when my next paper
cornea I will see more letters, am
glad to read letters from other
places.
I haven’t been over to Dallas
but a few times this year but
there was no fair going on when
l was there.
With the very best wishes to
all, 1 am,
Very Respectfully
E. C. Henley.
EASTER SUNDAY.
For nearly two thousand years
the religion of the Galilean has
walked through the dark places
with men and women and little
children, giving them courage,
for the first time in history, to
enter calmly into the Shadowed
Valley of the Uncertainties,
where live and move the unrecK
oaed millions who, 111 their turn,
have loved and sinned and suf¬
fered and strived and met the
Last Great Sleep.
And Easter is the symbol and
the anniversary of the coming of
this Master Hope of the centu¬
ries, From the cradle to the
tomb, men are fed on the solace
of hope in all things human.
Sometimes it may be a blessed
narcotic that blunts the anguish¬
ed sensibilities in those black
and melancholy hours that creep
into lives most sheltered; some¬
times it may be the reviving
oaim that gives the children ol
bereuvement the steady bravery
to face a world made bleak by
the Reaper or themselves the
courage to go down unafraid to
that sea whose other shores are
hidden to eves of llesh.
Men conquer the wilderness
and bring down the lightning out
of the skies to their bidding.
They nearly annihilate tune and
space. They build vast monu
meats to science and to art and
to the spreading genii of com¬
merce and of industry, Ambi¬
tion inspires them with the rest¬
less genius to excel in ail things
and to place behind them obsta¬
cles that loom as mountains.
Love sifts its sparkling sunlight
in their eyes and gives fragrance
and meaning and gentleness to
a life that sometimes bears too
harshly on the strongest as well
as those who are desolate and
oppressed.
And, at the last, to all comes
death, the common legacy of the
centuries, visited with impartial
democracy on the rich man and
the poor man, the saint and the
sinner, the beggar and the thief.
If it were not for the Man Re¬
turned, the One Example in all
recorded time of flesh and blood
winning back its way from the
Shadowed Valley of the Uncer¬
tainties into consciousness and
volition, there might be reason
in the sense of futility and hope¬
lessness which, here and there,
overtakes the staunchest of us.
‘‘I know that my Redeemer
1 i vet h!”
Men despair no longer when
they repeat that phrase with sin¬
cerity and serenity. They see
life in its true significance; as a
mere vestibule, a simple if ardu¬
ous training school, to that great¬
er Father’s house, where there
are “many mansions.”
The hope, with its sure sus¬
taining power, is written in the
flowers that now blossom from
the once-dead earth. It is writ
ten more deeply and indelibly in
the conviction imbedded in the
heart of the man who is most
wayward, the woman who is most
thoughtless. Transcending log¬
ic, outpacing fallible human reas¬
oning, it explains why the Chris¬
tian religion has spread from an
obscure stable in Bethlehem un¬
til it fulfils the prohecy of the
lines—
‘Jesus shall reign where'er the sun,
Doth his successive journeys run.
His rule shall rule irorn shore to shore,
Till moons shall wax and wane no more.
—Atlanta Constitution.
