FROM THE FIELD.
BY INNOCENCE Α Β Κ υ A D
TO MOUHTAlN PEAK AND VENUS.
J am back on the trail again and
feel natural, although the weather
is hot and dry yet I am as tough as a
Spanish steer and heat don't hurt
an Arkansas man anyway. Last
Thursday evening I started in the
direction of mountain Peak and out
beyond I'ucle Snort's, after 1 had
nearly passed by the home of W. D.
Boyd, I noticed a lot of buggies
there and lots of people in his front
yard and I at once turned my pony
(not tiie one that buck jumped with
met round in the road and pulled
into his front yard, and Mr. A1
Curry and several others began
laughing and said I could smell a
wedding from my office in Waxa
hachie. I did not know but what
there was a funeral there, and 1 was
not going by Bro. Boyd's without
investigating this big crowd and he
met me, made me g«t out of my
buggy and hitched my horse for me
and said his daughter Miss Ethel
would, in a few moments, marry
Mr. Henry Hawkes. There was a
nice crowd of neighbors and friends
present and pretty soon the bride
groom with his best man appeared
on the scene and they were married.
Bev. O. F. Sen ahaugh, Presiding
Elder of the Waxahachie district,
per formed the ceremony. M iss
Ethel is a pretty, sweet girl and
Mr. Hawkes is an industrious,
splendid young man and after I con
gratulated them along with their
many friends I slipped out, hit my
buggy and as i passed out 1 got a
glimpse of the table and I thought
it the prettiest I had ever looked
upon and the good to eat i knew
was there was all very tempting to
me but for one time i left a good
supper and pushed on toward Mount
Peak and at night I pulled up at the
home of H. \V. Kilgore. His good
wife, said I could stay there all
night and round at his barn 1 found
him feeding his stock. He has been
fortunate and has made some corn.
He had fat hog.s, big sorghum
patches and 1 found that home all
Ο. K. Mr. Kilgore is a practical
successful farmur and a member ot
the Primitive Baptist church and ·ι
consistent one, anil his credit is
good anywhere in Ellis county for
all he wants. And another thing he
is one Primitive Maptist who in this
election will vote for prohibition.
His close neighbor Mr. Odom is one
of the best gardeners and farmers
out here and his garden is now full
of old winter collants and I engaged
all he had to spare when the frost
tails on them, then they are tooth
some and (rood. Mr. N. D. C'lark
another of Mr. Kiigore's neighbors
settled out here ht'fore the war,
away back in the fifties, and he and
his good witV still live on that same
place. One son ha.- a position (n
t itpiioi ai Ausiiii. ne 1» a goon
citizen and he and his wife, though
getting along in veare, still enjoy
good health. H. L. Harxis rents
Joe Singleton's home place and
lives where Joe used to live when
he was an honest fariner. The cot
ton on this mountain land was
pretty good. The boll worms had
not worked on it so hard. L. J.
Richardson and his son were still
hoeiriK the grass from their cotton
and it was pretty good. The fact is
I believe Mr. Richardson is a pretty
good farmer. J. P. Hallew also
rents on Joe Singleton's farm and
he and h.s better half had just re
turned from a visit to their old
home in t\labama. Mr. Ballew will
manage the big Mountain Peak
gin this fall. R. K. Erwin and Joe
Singleton bought this out this sum
mer and the Midlothian Oil Mill
bought the gin in the valley south
of the Peak. There Is an everlast
ing hustle in this country for cotton
seed now. On to the Peak; two
stores and good churches there and
here I found two spokes broken in
my buggv by that mean ranch horse
and Mr. H. C. Parker, one of the
best smiths in the county put in
two new ones for me. Dr. Van
Cleave is doing a splendid practice
ont here. People like him and he
likes the people. I crawled into his
baggy and rode with him down two
miles south to Mr. J. D. Godfrey*
who has had fever. Pound him
cheerful and better. It pleases a
iocter for his patients to get well
und pleases his patients better than
it does the doctor. Dr. Vandeave
ias recently bought a farm and he
s fixing to stay at the Peak. Re
cently the κ'» people put down a
Jeep well there that affords enough
water for all the country. With J.D.
Wakefield, who bought the Fobnett
'arm close by the Peak, 1 ate din
ler. He and his brother were pick·
ng cotton. Said his cotton on the
Mountain was pretty good. Mrs.
Wakefield fe >ds her husband well
and be is an industrious man. She
was a Burleson and they are good
îeopje all over Texas. \V. E.
Prince owns another good mountain
'arm close by the Peak his wife is
η poor health and ha wants to sell
nit. I next turn buck north
>f the Peak and stop at Mountain
Jim Smith's. He was away and his
*ood wife said they too settled )
where they now live before the war :
rod he has staid on that mountain
to ioiiK tijej call him Mountain Jim,
in honest good man, and she is a
iheerful, jolly old lady. Jack
Heall's father, Joe Singleton's
ather and Mr. Clark and Moun
ain Jim were the first settleis
ti this western section of Ellis j
• ο u η t y . Mr. M c A I ρ i η a 1 β ο |
iwms a good farm close by and I j
1 topped there. He said the boll :
rorms h»s injured Ids crop serlous
y. He and his industrious eona
ire good farmers. G. H. King owns
inotner farm close by and he, too,
iras chopping the grass out of it and
aid the worms had not injured his
otton seriously. He, too, is an in·
lustrions yonng farmer and will
support hi· splendid little wife and
tK>y. I next torn weit and strike J.
H. Stanberry who wae cutting hur
rah grass with hie binder. Almost
every farmer out here is patting
up tons of this and then the sor
;num patches are targe and nanier·
aus out here. Btanberry said he had
put up a supply of it and his moun
tain cotton was pretty good. J. E.
Roe and J. M. Stephenson both own
homes on the mountain and their
farm lay out in the valley 300 feet
below. Around on the top of this
mountain is certainly the prettiest
place to live in Ellis county. From
each one of these gentlemen's hous
es the view is just splendid. Mr.
Roe said he sent to Illinois last
winter and bought his seed corn and
now he was gathering more than
twenty bushels to the acre and he
was putting up hurrah grass which
was as pretty hay as I ever looked
at. H. M. Rurleson also lives on
this mountain and owns fine lands
in the valley below. He is the man
whose farm joined Jack lieall's and
in the contest with Wooten last
spring we all claimed our farms
joined his and this furnished lots of
amusement fur us all. During my
first day's rustling in the Mountain
Peak country 1 chanced to meet
Hill Buessil and he invited me to
spend the night w ith him and said
he would place me high above gnat·
and mosquitoes. I have never in
my life seen these pests half so bad
and 1 readily accepted|Mr. Mussel! s
invitation. He has a splendid two
story house built on top of one of
the highest peaks in this chain of
mountains, more than two hundred
feet above the surrounding country.
Under the mountain, are his barns,
srarden and orchards, and when 1
had fed my pony, ascended that
mountain and enjoyed the breexes
I free from pests. He owns two hun
dred acres close round the foot hills
ι of as fine land as Ellis county af

: his daughters teaches in the college
I at Italy and his son ts teaching the
J ISt. Paul school near Rritton. Mr.
I Russell has tunneled into this itionn
, tain and dug an immense cellar anil
I also a large cistern and he filters
water twicç before it reaches hi*
cistern. A delightful night 1 spent
! and roosted upstairs higher than
any man in Kills county that 11 iglit.
! Adjoining Mr. Russell's farm Prof.
Alderdice, the man we elected t<> lh<
i next legislature, owns (JOO acres all
[ in the valley. He and his w ife are
! the parents of five boys and one
, girl. The boll worms have been
, very destructive to his crop hut
is letting up and he now has a hope
of making some cotton. A man ol
more energy and perseverenee i*
hard to find. Me has more sorghun
I and kaftir corn planted than any
farmer 1 have run across and It is
1 -oking well. That Prof. Alderdice
I w ill make us one of the best repré
sentative· we ever had, there is Dot
(a shadow of a doubt. Mr. John
Morris owns 160 acres close to the
Peak and he left half of it in grass
and when 1 got there he and Char
lie Smith his neighbor and Mr. K<*l
ley from Sardis who own a hay
baler was cutting and baling it. The
hurrah grass and other feed stufl
now being put up by the farmers of
! Kllis county will sa\e the life of
many a cow and horse this winter.
Mr (' W. Carter who owns a turn1
oui here went to South Texas with
the big move there several years
ago, bought land there, he made
failures and was finally almost
killed in the big storm, this disaster
drove them hack to their mountain
home. He still owns land down
there and says he thinks he will
soon sell It to the rice growers.
Mrs. Carter though quite deaf is a
great worker, she this spring rained
and sold .UK) or 400 pounds of cab
bage and Mr. Carter led me into
their storm house where this sum
mer a splendid variety of canned
fruits, sweet pickles etc.
were stored away. Mr. Car
ter's health was improved in South
Texas hut said he lost money down
there and that made the old lady's
health bad, she is working and re
cuperating her purse and health
both now. Mr. R. K. Parker and
his good wife are two niore happy
and jolly good people who own a
mountain farm and are prosperous.
