WINNING BACK HEALTH IN SOUTHERN CLIMATE.

Vern Davisson has written his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Davisson, from McAllen, Tex., to which place he went a short time ago in the hope of regaining his health which was greatly impaired during his overseas service. “Dear Father and Mother: „ “Am feeling fine; it’s impossible to feel otherwise down here._ Would not mind camping here for”* a few centuries or at least a thousand years. Got a few Mexicans working on the orchard and getting along fine. “When the crowd went over to the club house, I took my suitcase over there so they would not take it back on the excursion, but the porters took all of the baggage back to the train, so my suitcase is gone, perhaps lost by now. I telegraphed the station agent at San Antonio to catch the excursion and have it sent back here, but it has faded to return, so I suppose it’s lost. - Did you get the telegram on the train? It’s a little inconvenient without it. “I see Chauncey Wood every day. They are . feeling fine and said they could not be driven back north except for a brief visit. They like it fine here. Mr. and Mrs. Hays have rented two rooms in a large house and will move in tomorrow, I guess. “Mr. Kroska billed the cotton out a few days ago. It will bring a big price. Holding the hay for more money, as the market is going up. McMahan is getting ground ready for cabbage. No market at all here for snowballs, or sleighs; icicles do not sell, either. Ha, ha! “This is certainly a nice hotel, though not near large enough to accommodate the traveling public. Another hotel as large as this one would certainly make a stake. There are unlimited * opportunities fST every kind of business, although every sort of business is represented already. Seventy-five residences are under construction at present, and the place is growing so fast one can’t keep up with it Saw a big football game between MkAllen and an aviation team Thursday; also had lots of turkey and cranberries. I must close. Your son, VERN C. DAVISSON.
