FERGUSON WRITES OF
HILL COUNTRY TRIP.
Last week’s Forum carried a
big headline story, three col-
umns wide, on the front and
third pages, in Mr. Ferguson’s
own words, telling of his recent
trip through the Hill Country.
The part that refers to this
section is given below:
“Last week I paid a visit to
the mountain district of South-!
vest Texas. It was my first
trip to what is known as the!
‘Hill Country.’ Though I have |
traveled over Texas perhaps
more than any other citizen,
vet I have not been in all the
250 counties of the State. I
have visited something over
Iwo hundred counties and coun-
ty seats and I now find myself
impelled by a well fixed inten-
tion and desire to visit every
county in mv native State. If
t He Lord spares me I am going
to complete the trip before 1 am
a year older. * * *
“While in Fredericksburg I
visited the famous old Nimitz
I ntel, built in the early days of
the town out of lumber freight-
ed from (he Gulf, over 300 miles
by ox wagon. This old place is
famous by the fact that Gener-
al Robert E. Lee was a fre-
quent visitor there and it was
while he was in this section
that he resigned his commission !
in the Federal army and hasten-1
ed to Virginia to assume control,
of the Confederate forces. The
old bedstead upon which Gener-j
al Leo slept is yet in the old
Nimitz hotel. The bed was
shown me by Charle Nimitz, the
son of Colonel Nimitz, who
bought it from General Lee. !
“It was an inspiration to see
the friendliness and fellowship
everywhere apparent in the
Fredericksburg section among
the descendants of the liberty-
loving pioneers who laid the
foundation for tho sturdy and
manly citizenship of old Gilles-
pie County. There is no strife
no hard feeling, everybody en-
joying the fullest freedom of
religion and politics.
“1 recommend to some of the
active citizens of Dallas who
seem to he greatly worried
about other |K»oples’ religion
and habits, to spend a week in
Fredericksburg. I think it
would do them go<*| in many
ways.

Ninety-seven of the 1.35 men who were in the Kemmerer Coal
Co. Mine at Kemmerer, W.vo., when tlit* explosion occurred, lost
their lives. Photo shows Odd Fellows Hall in Kemmerer changed
into a temporary morgue for the identification of bodies.
KIMBLE COUNTY PRO-
Dl UTS BEING MARKETED
The variety of products of
Kimble County is evident on the
streets these days, when wool,
mohair, pecans, cotton, pears,
syrup, etc., are seen as they are
being marketed. Traveling men
often marvel at the many sea-
sons of the year in which they
see products of the county in
the process of marketing. In
the early spring, mohair cones
in large quantities: a little later
wool comes in; and with only a
lapse of a few months, cot 1 on
begins to sell; then wool and
mohair agin; then ixvan*.
The revenue from these four
most im|M»rtant produets is aug-

STATE PARK BOARD
HAS BEE APPOINTED.
The news of the appointment
of the newly created State Park

then, .J. A. Heynwin has had a
communication from Mr. Colp
'luting that the board will likc-
Iv begin a tour of inspection of
the different places proposed for
State Parks, about the last of
November. According to Mr.
Co|p, Governor Nell has prom-
ised to make 'h' first trip with
the hoard, and it is proposed to
make this first trip over the
longest route, which will in-
clude such proposed locations as
Palo Dura Canyon, the Davis
Mountains, Alto Frio and .lunc-
t ion.
