many years. Me too would like to see
the day when I could meet all of my
old schoolmates together, . I know it
would be a grand oldjr
God lets me live I intend to" tlf iiiy old
home a visit some day in the future. ;
My papa lives near Ladonia,. Texas.
I was at home two weeks ago, and he
had a fine prospect for a good crop.
The three girls live near papa and
mama, and Wesley is still at home. ...
. We left Putnam County in 1902 and
came to Texas. . -
In 1905 I was married to a girl by the
name of Dodd. And in June 1903 she
was taken sick and died in April the
following year.) She left me with a
sweet little girl who my dear mama
takes so much interest in.' She is four
years old and if she lives she will soon
be large enough to pay her grandma
for her kind attention. ":.rJif
I will watch the Herald and cheer
fully read all the letters that my old
schoolmates and friends may . write.

It is claimed that the election of an
entire new board is in accord with the
law, but litigation will probably follow'
as the old board asserts that it is the
legal one. v;';r -;
Secretary of State Goodloe did not
take part in the election of the new
board. .... " '
