A Personal Letter.
Sulphur Springs, Tex., March 29.
Mr. L. H. Avinger:
Dear Sir and Friend:—We want to
say that we have bought the stock of
groceries and farm implements includ-
ing Oliver chilled plows, Brown wag-
ons, cultivators, corn and cotton plant-
ers from Alexander & Smith, also Red
Seal oil that many of your readers
are familiar with. What we want you
to do is to put this in The Gazette for
about two weeks so that all the people
in Hopkins county <H11 see it, for we
think most everybody |n the county
reads The Gazette and we don’t see
how they can get along without it.
So just put this in and let it stay for
two weeks and don’t forget to tell
them about White Heron flour. We
saw in your paper where somebody
advertised another flour and said it
was just as goad, but we think ours
just a little better, so tell your readers
to try a sack of White Heron next
time and see for themselves and not
another. In buying this stock we got
a good many rare bargains that we
are willing to let go. Tell your read-
ers about this too.
With best wishes for The Gazettte
and its many readers,
We are respectfully
Shooks Grocery Company, Jef-
ferson street and Alexander & Smith
building, College street.
P. S.—Please tell the friends of Mr.
Abner Russell that they will find him
at our College street store.
the Hopkins county news. I left
Hopking county last fall and came to
this (Erath) county. I like out here
better than I do Hopkins. This is a
good farming country. We have
plenty of good water, plenty of wood
and have good roads. The farmers
are all in good jshape, as they
made good crops last year and got a
good price for their cotton. This is a
fine fruit country. We raise all kinds
of feed stuff. Corn is coming up and
looks fine. Oats are looking good.
Grass is begining to look fine too, so
will soon be getting plenty of milk
and butter. We have good schools
and churches in one mile of us. Have
Sunday school and preaching every
Sunday, and prayer meeting every
Sunday night.
Come on, Blue Eyes with good long
letters, for I am a Sulphur Bluff boy
and I like to read all of the news.

Now, as Matilda wanted us all to
write on temperance and prohibition,
will say this, that it looks to me as if
the whole range of argument in refer-
ence ta t he temperance question had
been gone over again and again. I
believe all has been said pn the sub-
ject that need be said, if those who
hear would act according to their con-
victions. If I were to try to prove
that drunkenness was a blighting,
blasting curse I would only be telling
something that you know already.
Then again, if I were to try to prove
that it is everyone’s duty to do all they
can to remove a common curse ;«every •
one’s privilege to remove all the evil
possible, it would be only mocking
you; that degraded manhood, black-
ened character and lost souls tower-
ing like monuments to the very heav-
ens, are the results of drunkennesses
known by everyone that will take no-
tice. But as to prohibition as a rem-
edy much can be said, for there is
much diversity of opinion as to the
prohibitory effect of prohibition, but
I know that it is a good, thing. Any-
one not wilfully blind cannot fail to
see that it does prohibit. Still, like
every other great reform, it must nec-
essarily “make haste slowly.” Of
course there are many ways of evad-
ing the law on this question. One
very common way is this: Drinking
men from the country say that very
often on starting for home that they
will find a bottle of whiskey wrapped
up lying in their wagon or buggy—
they understand of course—and in the
course of a few weeks they will meet
a friend who will say, “I would like to

Our school closed at Parks Springs
last Friday. They had society in the
afternoon, and one teacher made a
splendid talk, and the next sad word
was good bye, which we all regreted

er, we hope to have him to teach an-
other school as he done this last win-
ter.

Pea Ridge, Tex., April 2.—Health is
extremly good. Our doctors will
surely have a fine time fishing, if
health continues so good. Farmers
are working with a willing mind, and
all farm wprk is far advanced, com-
pared with the two years past. Corn
planting about done, irish potatoes
sprouting nicely, oats looking well,
fruit crop not materially injured.
Mr. Bob Lee Hyde has built a storm
house. He says he wants a place to
keep his canned fruit, but we are in-
clined to the opinion that in case of a
cyclone he wants a place to protect
his hide.
Miss Katie Russell gave the young
people of Pea Ridge a swell entertain-
ment on the evening of the 30th, after
which she bids Pea Ridge society
good-bye for four months. She will
attend the East Texas Normal College
at Commerce.
Let me say that it is up to the people
of Sulphur Springs and Hopkins coun-
ty to found a school of high grade at
Sulphur Springs, so we may not.have
to send our boys and girls away from
home to get an education. I hope the
effort for a summer normal at Sul-
phur Srings will be a success. I read

REILY SPRINGS.
Reily Springs, Texas, April 3.—Ma-
tilda’s been to town. Yes, she’s been
to the city, and my! you should have
seen her taking in the sights, and I
did not take my better half either.
So you see I had nothing to keep me
from “seeing the sights.” I imagined
I heard someone say, “Did you go to
the skating rink?” Certainly I did,
and that is not all—I wanted to skate.
I had the pleasure of attending the
“Bazaar” given by the ladies of the
Presbyterian church. We always
make an effort to go to anything
given by these ladies for they are al-
ways successful, and I know I will
feel fully repaid for my ten miles

We!were invited to attend a stew

PICKTON.
Pickton, Texas, April 4.—We regret
the death of one of our girls, Miss
Ruth Allison, who died at Dallas Sun-
day, April lst,^nd was broght home
Monday for Interment at Pickton
cemetery. She and relatives were
met at the train by many friends.
Pall bearers were A. D. Walters, W.
H. Threatt, A. L. London, J. O. Tur-
ner and A. N. Randolph. The fun-
eral services were held at the Meth-
odist church by Rev. Short. * Miss
Allison was a kind and loving Chris-
tian and our heartfelt sympathy is

Sunday morning we attended the
historical exercises of the Presbyterian
Sunday School, and it made our heart
glad to see “our” John McDonald act-
ing in the capacity of superintendent,
and I‘ waff told he filled the place
splendidly.
Sunday afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Ray
carried me driving on the best streets
in town, showing me many new
houses, all built in the latest up to date
styles. I found my old home town
not booming, but far better, growing,
steadily growing. Now we all know
this beats booming. It’s not “skio,
jump and a hop,” but steadily plod-
ding on to a substantial city.
Sunday night I listened to one of
Bro. Fladger’s fine sermons.
Monday morning found me up town
shopping. While Matilda’s money is
very limited, I can look at the pretty
things and watch others buy that are
more fortunate in a financial way than
Matilda, but I don’t believe they can
get more pleasure out of this world,
or have more good friends than she.
Monday afternoon I came home, to
find everything in a beautiful coat of
green. My children were glad to have
mama home again. This is Tuesday
morning, with a phone message early,
to know If “Aunt Matilda” had gotten
home, saying, “Don’t fail to write this
week.” It’s the first thing I look for.
So here I am, sitting on my front
porch, scribbling and trying to super-
intend having some flowers put out.

LIBERTY.
Liberty, Texas, April 2.—I was sick
last week and did not send in my let-
ter, so will try and write a few items
today.
Health of the community is tolera-
ably good.
MrB. Mitchell, living in the neigh-
borhood has become insane. Prepa-
rations are being made to send her to
the asylum. It is a great pity truly,
for she is a good woman, well liked
by all who know her, then she has
several children who need a mother’s
care. The neighbors have been very
kind in helping Mr. Mitchell to care
for her, but as she is getting worse
she will have to be sent to the asy-
lum soon.
Luther Abbott and wife are rejoic-
ing over the arrival of a little daugh-
ter.
Claud Gallaway and wife have a lit-
tle daughter.
Rev. Russell of Brashear preached
for us twice on Sunday. The after-
noon service being in place of Rev.
Tannery, who was sick.
Our Sunday School is moving along

Miss Julia Robertson will leave to-
morrow on a visit to relatives at Com-
merce, at which place she will also

Mr. Patman and wile of Paint Rock

sister, Mrs. Thomas.
Will Scott of New Home was in our

claim that they would be in favor of
prohibition if it was state or national.
What is to hinder that, for I notice
that it is spreading slowly but surely
as county akter county falls into line
perhapi
until perhaps at no distant day the
grand old State of Texas will be free
from the terrible curse. God speed
the day is the prayer of Suze Ann.

that I buy hogs. That’s a part of my
business. Come to see me before you
sell your hogs. Lee Bridges.

MAHONEY.
Mahoney, Texas, April 4.-Brother
Averitt filled his regular appointment
Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock.
The Sunday school at this place is
still progressing reasonably well. We
are sorry to say the attendance is not
as large as it should be. We ^some-
times wonder why people are so caYe-
less about attending preaching, Sun1
day school and prayer meeting but it
can only be solved by the words of
holy writ. Where your treasure is
there will your heart be also and be-
cause of Iniquity shall wax cold.
Mrs. Mattie Gipson, of Kaufman Co.
visited her mother, Mrs. McCain, from
Friday till Sunday.
Mrs. Watson dined with Mrs. J. O.
Lollar Sunday.
We regret to hear of the death of
John Masters, also Mrs. Will Pharr.
We sympathize with the bereaved
families in their sorrow.
Miss Josie Merchant, the young lady
who taught the Jupiter school. Is flu-
) taught the Jupiter
ng the Mahoney sch<
are glad to say that Hopkins county
can furnish many just such boys as
Bob. It seems that all of our young
men who go west and to different
counties find places where they get all
the coons up one tree, but we still
have an abiding faith in Hopkins
county, and think it just as near heav-
en as any where else on the inhabit-
able globe. Just stop and think of
old Hopkins, one-half.prairie and one-
half timber, corn, wheat, oats, cotton,
fruits of every kind, the choicest va-
rieties, dooly potatoes and brindle
gravy, and girls so pretty that the
roses of June might wilt at their
smiles. Time fails me to enumerate
all the good things of Hopkins county,
not that I love other people less but
that I love my own more. If we
only had a railroad from Paris by
Sulphur Springs to Mineola, the
southern part of Hopkins county
would care nothing for boll weevil,
for we could grow everything else but
cotton, and hope ere long it will come.
We notice that Matilda is complain-
ing that her hens have gone on a
strike and postively refuse to set.
Don’t be discouraged, you know
since Uncle Sam has furnished us
with rural free delivery, we all take so
much literature that there is no room
in the house for it, and it is dumped
into the back yard for the hens to
scratch among and they have doubt-
less been reading of labor saving de-
vices, a&d among the rest have read
of mother incubators that canh atch 20
chicks to her^one, and the hens have
concluded they had just as well be in
the barn yard scratching for food as
trying to complete with such a moth-
er, but we wish you great success
with your feathered tribe.
What has become of Suze Ann?
We miss your letters. The Gazette is
highly appreciated by its readers,
because it gives the news from every
nook and corner of the county and
over the state. Let us not look back
but press forward to make Hopkins
county the star of the east.

Judge Morris, of Anderson county,
speaking at the memorial service

Gov. Hogg had to borrow money
from an Austin bank to pay for
moving his effects from the state
mansion. 1
