What do you good people think
about the weather? My sentiments
are tfiat winter is still with us.
The .coldest snow of the season fell
Wednesday and the temperature
lacked but little of being to zero.
The ground hog must have been
right and decided to wait six more
weeks to come from his winter
quarters. Best for the old chap
too, I think. Some think this
s_
will be a good fruit year. I trust
they are right. If this cold weath-
er hasn’t killed all the insects,
guess next summer’s sand will put
their eyes out.
Mr. Alfred Walker of Ivanboe,
came up Saturday to visit his un-
cle. C. U. Lee, and family. Mr.
Walker’s mother has been visiting
Mr. Lee’s family the past week
and he and his mother returned
home Sunday.
M. L. Taylor passed this way
Friday, en route to Spies, to take
the train for Bonham. His husi-
was to get permission to change
the road by Sheep creek and mdke
it run through his premises. We
hope he was successful as the old
road is almost impassable.
Little Miss Alice Hodges is re-
ported fully recovered from ’ her
recent illness.
Miss Janie Ewing of Margaret,
Texas, is visiting in this commu-
nity. She has been visiting her
nncle, Jim Roberts and family, of
Denison, and her grandmother,
EAiory, at Cherry Mound, before
coming here. It is very interest-
ing to hear her tell of life on the
plains; how the people have to dig
for their wood instead of cutting
it like we do. Their fuel is mes-
quite roots. The chickens havecto
be locked in to keep the cayotes
from feasting on them. Janie is
looking reai well and says she en-
joys the windy west so much.
Over two years ago she, with her
father and two brothers, left tpr
Foard County and she says she
wouldn’t return to old Fannin to
live. She likes the west so well.
This is the first time she has been
back to visit her friends and
old acquaintances.
Misses Ada and Cora Cowan,
Effie Odom, Esma Reaves, Mo'S.
H. A Reaves and son, Clovace,
were visitors at C. U. Lee’s Sun-
day evening.
Owing to the inclement weather
we had no school Thursday.
We have heard of a few of our
neighbors planting potatoes before
the snow. We fear it is too cold
for them. -
The fall oats look like they hpve
been frozen out. j.,

The pnpils of the colored school,
celebrated Washington’s birthday
Tuesday with appropriate exercis-
es. . They had their building deco-
rated with flags and manifested a
great deal of patriotism. Bill Cook
says he made a pretty good speech
on The Greatness of Washington
as a General. They all had a fine
time. i
ASH GROVE HAPPENINGS.
Well we had some cold weather
last week. The.worst February
blizzard I remember for eleven
years.' The snow nearly blinded
me and I can’t get out to see what
damage is done. Some fear the
wheat has been injured as well as
the winter oats. Some report ear-
ly ^own oats killed, but I hardly
think it can be fold yet. The fruit
trees show- no sign of bloom buds.
Grass looks green in some places.
Little or no farm work was done
last week. Nearly all have their
ground ready for planting and
from the talk I hear the renters
especially will plant an. enormous
crop of cotton. Experience teach- ^rty today and she insists that we
Dear Friends of The Star:
It has been some time since I
have written to the Star. When I
last wrote you I was in the city of
Stamford, the coming town of the
West. I wish that I had language
to express my thoughts in regard
to the progress of Stamford. Jts
growth is ivonderful, and it has
people who have the grit and push
to keep the wheels going. Its
people are industrious, kind and
sociable.
As I am now taking a vacation, |
I went from Stamford to Abilene
and visited the Abilene Business
College and the management was
very kind and courteous tome. I,
boarded the car and went out to! %
Simmon’s College and there listen-!
ed to an interesting lesson in Eng-
lish. While there I saw and talk-
ed with John Inzer, who was ex-
ceedingly nice to me. I took din-
ner with him at the dormitory.
Every one I met treated me royally
and I like what I sqw pf Abilene
just fine.
I am.now at Merkel visiting Mr1.
Gilliam. His daughter and I were
room-mates at Denton, while at-
tending the Normal: I also saw
Lewis King whose home is iq this
place, and appreciate his kindness
to me.
Wishing for you all \he greatest
of success, I now bid you good
bye for a while.

eg a dear school but some wont
learn by that. Most men I have
talked to seem to have the idea
firmly fixed in - their minds that
cotton will .never 'go below a pay-
ing price again, but if it is a good
year for cotton Texas will produce
this year not less than four million
bales. I predict that one good
hog‘will bring as milch next fall
as a bale of cotton. I thought the
hogs were all gone but a nice little
drove passed here yesterday. A
few cattle are driven by every
week, most of them very sorry,
but it seems that anything with
hair and hoofs will sell. P. C.
Daugherty sold two old mares last
week, both small and thin in flesh,
for sixty-five dollars, Two years
ago such stock could scarcely have
been sold at any price. My neigh-
bor, G. W\ Carter lost a valuable
work horse last week with some-
thing like blind staggers. He is
having a hard time trying to find
another.

Dave Carter’s shoulder will not
permit him to do any work yet,
but it did not prevent his bring-
ing us a mess of fresh sausage yes-
terday. I cheerfully recommend
Dave to any of my nieces and that
includes about all the girls I know
for they all call me uncle. I never
saw such neighbors as we have.
They find out what * we want and
send it to us. If hog killing lasted
all the year we would live high.
H . P. Ware and wrife are on the
sick list. Mr. Ware has had the
grippe four weeks and'was reported
not doing well yesterday.
David Alston, Mr. Ware’s son-
in-law, died at De Quee, Ark. re-
cently, leaving ^two little orphan
boys. His wife died some yeqrs
ago. Mr. Ware sent for the chil-
drin and they came in Saturday. I
am very uneasy about Mr. Ware
as he is somewhat advanced in
years.

with his parents for several years

shall also take supper, but I don’t
think I will need to eat apy more
until some time tomorrow. I sel-
dom eat from home. Can’t afford
-it- Takes too long afterwards to
get up an appetite.
It is warm now, Sunday, and if
it stays so long enough I will try
to finish planting our early garden.
Not much gardening been done
around here yet. Only a few have
planted potatoes, peas and onions
and sowed turnip seed. I try to
plant everything we like to eat
that will grow profitably. The
waste from a garden is very good
for pigs and will grow them faster
and mtich cheaper than corn. ’
Mrs. Nelms had the first young
chickens I heard of. They hatch-
ed before the freeze came and I
have not heard whether they lived
through or not. Our hens and
most others heard from were on a
strike all winter and just began to
lay recently.
