She has learned that there has been washout near Mt. Carmel and that it maybe three or four days before trains run from Mt.C. to Paris. Old Mr. Hicks died yesterday, was living alone an neighbors found him dead. Just as I was getting ready to start up town after eating dinner (ha!ha!) Warren Decker called, was glad to see him. He and Heally want to plow up ranch field for me. He told me to come and stay a week or longer with him, he is batching too. After Warren left John Simons called hunting for Warren and another invite to come down and stay while. After he left went to 2nd BK to see about sending Treuett Mathis 750.00 int. on note Get book balanced which shows much less than expected. Went t o P.O. but no letter from Tue.. I let the T. M. matter rest till Monday. Will have to borrow some. Ontho (sic) way met Zack Scott and Jim Bolin in alley and talk a while with Zack who invites me down to stay a week.
