ON THE WING.
Daily Courier Gazette, October 3, 1906
Through Johnson School House
and Climax Communities.
The fields are
white with the great southern staple and the ears of golden corn are bending
low upon the withered stalk awaiting the harvest time when the barns of
Collin county will be filled with the rich treasures, with bread enough for
home consumption and plenty to spare. You never get out of sight of a home
in this county. You pass them on the roadside, see them on the sunny hills,
and in the shady dales, in every direction as far as the eye can reach. The
morning was pleasant, the beautiful wild flowers perfumed the air, the
little feathered morbius were caroling their sweet songs while perched upon
a nearby fence could be heard the sharp whistle of Bob White, no doubt
feeling quite happy and contented as he viewed the rich fields of golden
grain which would satisfy his appetite long after the good old summer time
had given place to the rich mellow days of Autumn. Borne upon the morning
breeze from the distant hills could be heard the echo of the cotton picker's
song, light hearted and free from the cares and worries of life.
The people in
the Johnson School House community, we think, are getting along finely in
life. Their homes are comfortable and their surroundings exceedingly
pleasant. Fine pens of large fat hogs can be seen at almost every home with
two and three head of nice Jersey cows, which keeps their dairies supplied
with excellent milk and rich butter. In other words they live at home and
have splendid board at the same place. The children are just as happy as the
days are long, and the good housewife wears a sweet smile of peace and
contentment. So after all the Collin county farmer has a great deal to be
thankful for. (and should not forget to say his prayers at night) and thank
the good Lord for his peaceful and happy surroundings.
