Maypearl, Texas Aug. 28, 1912 Butler Weekly Times: Sixteen years ago the last of this month John Sparks and I left Mis- souri for the Lone Star state with a well filled basket of good edibles and our pockets packed with Battle Ax tobacco, looking for a good time. Sparks left me at Dennison for Vanal- stine, Grayson county, this state. The first I heard of my chum he had a cotton sack around nis neck scrap- ing it to a finish. The next I heard of Sparks he was getting very home- sick and said he could shake the paw of any good old “‘scout”’ if he was from Missouri. Sparks returned home a better boy. My path while here has not been covered with flowers all along. I have found good people and a climate that one should admire. While the price of ‘meat of. every kind is soaring high, the buzzard still remains within reach of the poor and most humble individual. Good fruit and grain crops have already been made in Texas and the late rains: in- sure a good cotton crop. Cotton picking has begun and the hum of the girls can be heard. Up to date Maypearl has ginned twenty bales. Young men, if you are looking for a good country go to Corpus Christi. Crops are looking fine and everyone is wearing a smile. Everyone is en- joying these hot summer days as protracted meetings are the order of the day. T. J. SHOBE. Judge W. H. Wallace, speaking in favor of the proposed election amend- ment and against the single tax amendment, addressed a large audi- ence in the court house yard Sunday afternoon.
