Letter From Texas
Miss Addie Rice Writes an Interesting
Letter From the “Lone Star State.”
Moody, Texas, July 20, ’09.
Dear Editor:
If you will give me space in
your paper, I wifi write again.
The health of this community
is good at this writing.
Farmer's are mostly done
and have laid by their crops
this season.
We are needing rain badly
this writing, as I lie ground
not been wet more than two in¬
ches in eight weeks, and you
know it is getting hard and dry.
The corn crop has been cur. short
hv nearly half, in fact, itisnear
i.v ruined, but the cotton is
hurt much yet, but soon will,
it don’t rain.
I want to correct a mistake 1
made in my last letter to
Murray News. My Papa lias
acres in cotton, 20 in corn,
stead of 20 in cotton and 80
corn. We aie just about througn
work now.
Well, what did you all do for
the 4th. hope you had a merry
time. I sure had a nice time on
Saturday before the 4th. A big
crowd of us young girls and boys
went over on the Leon River
fishing, something near 9 miles
■west of here. L saw no place
that “looked go d to me” like
Gonuasauga River, down there
in Murray county Georgia.
Crandall.
Dear Editor:
Well, I have been waiting and
thinking someone else would
write you a few dots from here,
but it seems like they are all
wait ng on me, so here 1 am.
The health of this community
in very good.
Miss Beula Bates was buggy
riding one afternoon last week.
Mrs. C. W. Johnson and chi 1
dren are visiting relatives at
Greenville, 8 . O.
Groves Bates has accepted a
position with the L. & N. R. R
Prof. W. A. Hatfield is teach¬
ing a subscription school at this
place.
The Sunday school at Dew¬
berry, has been changed from
2:30 p. m., to 9 a. rn. Every
body come out next Sunday at 9
■o’clock and just have a good
Sunday school.
Ye, scribe, had the pleasure oJ
attending Sunday school and
preaching at Spring Place Sun¬
day, morning and night. Spring
Place is a hustling little town
and they sure do have a good
Sunday School and some tine
preaching down there.
I wonder what has happened
to Mr. Ilenly ? We have been
looking for him to come to see
us, we have not seen him yet.
Crops are pretty yood consid¬
ering so much rain as we had in
the Spring, and it is pretty dry
now, but it looks as if we might
have a shower at this writing.
Jeff Wood, wife and baby vis¬
ited relatives at Fuller’s Chapel
Saturday and Sunday.
There were a number of peo¬
ple went from here to Cohutta
Springs Sunday. There were too
many for me to try to give their
names.
There is prayer meeting at
Dewberry every Sunday night.
Everybody invited to attend.
THE MURRAY NEWS.
SPRING PLACE, MURRAY COUNTY, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, JULY 30, 1909.
Moody had a big day on the
12 th. I suppose there was some¬
thing near 6000 people there.
You could hardly move on the
street for them. They had good
music of different kinds, and
horse racing and baseball games.
I can’t commence to tell what
all they did have. I sure did
enjoy myself.
Well, if some of you
girls was out here we would
have a horse race, or some fun
like that.
t guess you all are getting
ready for the big meetings,
One started here last Friday.
Wei), Mr. Editor, my Papa is
talking of going to New Mexico,
to take up 820 acres of govern
ment land.
We are all satisfied here, and
since I came to Texas, I don’t
like to work in the field and they
say people don’t have to work
here very hard*
I have a cousin in Dexter, N
M., and he has got so busy ne
can’t write this time. Ho will
write when lie has time. I will
give you the name and address
of the place where Papa is going
so my Georgia friends will know
It is Mosqnero, N. M.
if Papa goes, 1 will write you
later more about (he country.
1 wish The News and its many
readers success.
Respectfully,
Ai-i-ii: Rick.
Several from here attended
Children's uay services at Eton
Sunday.
Revival services will begin af
Dewberry tne third Sunday in
August. Rev. Smith, of llootli
ville, Ga., will help here daily
to conduct the services.
Well, for fear my letter will
be too long and fall in the waste
basket, I will close.
Jeff Wood.
All Day Singing.
We are requested to announce
an all-day-singing at Holly Creek
Church, next Sunday by Prof.
Flanagan. Everybody invited
to be present to help enjoy the
day and don’t forget to bring a
basket. Re sure and bring one
full of good old fried chicken.
These are our best days in years
to come, as we should live, we
can remember pleasantly.
Pistol Toting.
A bill has been introduced in
the Georgia legislature to require
piitol toters to pay a tax and also
give a sum of $100 to keep the
peace.
This is a move in the right
direction; fully one-half of the
homicides would be prevented if
there were no hip pocket pistols
in the land. It has been urged
by some of our exchanges that
these embeyo slaughterers be al¬
so required to wear a tag, so as
to put-all peaceable peole on no¬
tice that they are in the company
a dangerous character. We
believe that officers ought to be
and even required to
a weapon on all occasions,
but if for any good reason a
citizen feels that he
carry one let him be tag¬
Pistols were not made to kill
with and are fully as dan¬
gerous as the barroom which has
been out lawed in Georgia, now
let the pistol follow the bar¬
keeper.
