One October morning in 1854 1 made
my first appearance into this great
world of ours, in the grand old state
of Tennessee, Overton county; grew
up in Jackson and Putnam counties
during h troublous times of the Civil
war. Have passed through many
changes and hardships subject to a
poor boy's life, and so deciding in af
ter years to try a country toward the
settingsun, and after twenty seven
years I find my mind running back to
boyville. I Bee myself and boy friends
in the creeks with our breeches rolled
up, but yet wet, while we catch min
nows . I see us clubbing the chest
nut trees and p'eking up the chest
nuts. I see us, both boys and girls on
the old schoolhouse grounds chasing
each other through the woods. I hear
the old spinning wheel sing its lone
some song as the broach grows larger.
I hear the loom with Its beat, beat. -1
see myself with stained hands hulling
walnuts to color the cloth. I see my
self at the old church look'ng on in
wonder as the old men and women
sing 'Am I a Soldier of the Cross" and
'How Firm a Foundation." And while
these thoughts are pleasant I nave a
letter that makes me sad. It tells of
the death of my uncle M. M. Jaquess.
While he was poor in this world's
goods he had laid up 'n yonder world
riches that far excel the Rothchllds
and Rockefellers. It would not seem
natural to be at old Mt. Union and not
see him sitting by the pulpit.

MONTEREY ITEMS
Dear Editor and Herald Family:
For the first time in almost two years
I am visiting dear old Monterey, en
joying the cool breezes, drinking good
water and having plenty of good things
to cat. Do not know just bow long
Ralph is going to let me stay, but I
have been hurting strongly to stay on
the mountain until hot weather Is over
and the mosquitoes are gene. Well
Monterey still looks good to me, and
all my folks and friends seem so glad
to see me it makes me more dissatis
fied w'th Nr.shvillo and long to be back
with them all again to live. I will
not say Monterey has the best people
on earth, but among the best. The
city is all right for those who like it,
but Monterey or Cookeville either one,
is good enough for me. Nashville like
othr cit'es and towns has its good and
bad folks, its advantages and disad
vantages. But of the Nashville Ban
ner would take a goo view of its im
morality, and the failure of its lead
ing men to enforce the city laws it
would not have been o ready to have
slung mud at Cookeville. I am will
ing for Cookeville and Monterey to
have what is due them, but when any
one throws off on either place I would
be glnd to, know they have a better
right to than any Nashville paper. I
have never lived only among good peo
ple since I have been in Nashville, but
I would indeed be very dull and blind
not to see the awful wickedness of
the place. Well a little. Monterey
news and I will give away to some
other letter more interesting.
