I began to keep another diary bn the

diaries. It’s'funny to read some things
in an old diary 1 kept 30 years ago. One
item in this diary says that wife and I
drove. 10 miles in a buggy to attend a’
camp-meeting. Many repented of their
sins and were baptized ami saved. >Somh
were so happy they shouted out loud.
Another page in the old diary tells about
the time Mj\s, Ledbetter and her 10 chil-
dren spent the night with us. Another
item said the family were busy picking
geese and making feather beds. One
whole page described how- a horseless
carriage (meaning an auto) had caused
Uncle Pete BrowjiV team To runaway,
throwing him out of the wagon and
breaking his collar bone and lacerating
his scalp. Other ftem.s in the old diary
tell about an eclipse of the sun tjiat

how Jake Kennedy cured his mule of a

War news takes Up most of the front
page, but pretty soon political news
will share the front page with War
news. It’s only five months to the July
primaries. Some big shot candidate?
are in prospect and I wouldn't be sur-
prised to sec a sizzling politiraL-aiflll- -
paign in Texas this year. -The" elcc-
torate, however, are getting wise. Mere
soap-box^Hratory has lost out. Candi-
dates must sh’ow ability, personality
and some of the fine art of political
strategy in order to get a respectful
hearing. There will he some issues, of
course, but tax' reduction will not be an
issue. Promising to reduce taxes is a
stale and time-worn joke.
