of the Thirsty
Fort Worth. Tex.. March 11.
To the Readers of The Monitor:
My last letter to yon was from my
northernmost port in this state. Deni
son. Tex., from which point 1 turned
south again and my first stop was at
Sherman, Grayson county, whose rat
{population is oO per cent. It is a busy
center of a large farming community
which is surrounded by many members
of the race who are largely endowed
with this world’s goods. It supports
a large number of business and pro
fessional men who are great; y inter
ested in the advancement of their peo
ple; they are all truly business men
and it was due to this fact that I war
able to close my business and do par.
on an early afternoon train for Mc
Kinney, where I failed in getting any
business whatever.
On to Dallas, where 1 reviewed the
business of a few weeks ago, adjusted
*hings to the satisfaction of all. then
pushed cn to Fort Worth, the most
northern cantonment- Since the enact
i nent cf the local prohibition lav
wlrch so vitally affected the thirst oi1
that large Dallas population. Fort
Worth has become the good Samaritan j
of the thirsty element of her sistei 1
city and you have to struggle for a;
seat wren approaching Fort Worth on:
ti»e railway or interurban leading intoi
tha; city from the east.
Spent the rest oft he week her-; i
winding up the affairs relative to the 1
well kt“ wing of The Monitor ami was 1
much pleased by the comments of the
-ubsrriber? and readers whom I had
listed during my former visit.
Will leave in the morning for points 1
further south.
Houston, Tex., March 18.
Monday morning opened bright and
clear; tfce sun shone bright and warm,
and as I boarded the interurbar, for
Cleburn I had a feeling that at last
the weather was in my favor; that
this was going to be my big week and
when I name the towns to you that I
succeeded in traveling you will agree
with me; but all things have their j
price, and. of course, I have to pay
the same as any one who has been in- j
ri.street enough to overtax their phy- j
sical capacity. This is my last lette:
lor a time that I can’t designate by
days, for I am on the verge of a ner
vous breakdown, and I am going to re
trench as far as possible by taking a
few days’ rest.
Leaving Cleburn my first stop was
at Hillsboro, which has a small race
population which is supporting a num
ber of business institutions of all lines
as well as a few professional men. The
same is true of the next two places I
visited, Waxahachie and Ennis, the
latter exceptionally so. Here I found
Dr. A. L. Taylor, who enjoys a lucra
tive practice in his own home town.
He drives a Dodge roadster, which he
placed at the disposal of The Moni
tor’s representative, which so expe
dited my efforts in getting business
that I was able to board the noon in
terurban for Corsiciana, where I fell
into the hands of Dr. L. M. Taylor,
D D. S., a brother to A. L., who drives
a Hudson super-six, which I occupied
during the better part of my stay in
Corsiciana. The Taylor brothers and
also Dr. Davis of this place spent a
number of their summer vacations in
Omaha, where they embibed the spirit
of the north, that do-or-die spirit ana
do it yourself, and it has proved its
value to these young fellows, who arc-'
really doing things not only in theii
l>ne of business, but by taking active
part in everything that tends to ad
vance the interests of their people.
Corsiciana supports a number of
race enterprises, among them two
drug stores, two dry goods stores, one
general merchandise, one blacksmith,
three large groceries and others of
lesser importance, as barber shops
and cafes. ,
My next stop was Mexia. Here 1
found Dr. White, Rev. Vounger and
Prof. T. K. Price, the latter principal
of the school, doing yeoman service
to advance their people, though labor
ing under adverse conditions. A hall
day here and I moved on to Marlin,
famous as the winter training quar
ters of some of the major league ball
players. The race men, both busines.
and professional, are well supported
for the race men and women of Texas
—that is, those who possess the means
|—patronize this resort very liberally
whenever they feel the need of these
medicated waters for which Marlin
claims many virtues. The accommoda
tions are really superb and up-to-date,
especially those of the Thomas bath
ing establishment, where I was quar
itered.

After a night’s treatment and rest 1
beanied the train for Calvert. It was
Saturday, a hard day for a man in my
line to accomplish much in a town of
this type, where the farmer takes
precedence over the citizens; but I
managed to finish in time to catch the
i 1:30 pan. train southbound for Bryant
' which I managed to close after a harJ
day by 9 p. m. that evening. Being in
a bad condition, both physically ard
mentally. 1 derided to go on to Hous

dations. I am here resting and until I

-SMARTER SET” HAS
GREAT SHOW
“The Smarter Set," playing the rolt 1
I o' “My People” at the Boyd three
I nights, beginning last Sunday, is a
i pretentious musical and spectacular 1
production, arranged and produced b.» j
Messrs. Whitney and Tutt, who art
building for themselves something out
of the ordinary in the way of reputa
. tion and are standing by their efforts.
This is the most elaborate of tht
series of entertainments with which
they have visited Omaha in the last
few years, and contains much of real
merit. “My People” is Mr. Whitney’
version of the race, brought down
through a series of scenes from tht
vs iiderness of the Niger and the life of
the savage to a modern musical com
edy, the intervening steps including ;
battle in which the Negro* are taken
captive, sold into slavery, with presen
tation of the slave caravan and the
slave ship; then the “old plantation,’
the minstrel show, and finally the mu
sical comedy. It combines history, al
legory and prophecy, and is presented
with much care as to detail.
Salem Tutt Whitney is a comedian
of ability, as well as an author-com
poser of good taste, and his contribu
tion to the evening's performance if
noteworthy for its quality. J. Homei
Tutt is also an earnest worker witn
capacity for doing his part well. Tin
company is well calculated for the,
purpose and its equipment is adequate.
Mothers, attention: Owing to the
high cost of cotton goods, have your
children’s clothes bill cut by calling
