ON THE WING  

Daily Courier Gazette, July 25, 1912

Personal Mention of People You Know by Our Field Man.

Early last Monday morning we met our friend G. H. Wilson near the Katy depot who began to "blow" his big crop of peaches, and as we are from Missouri, on some occasions, we drove out to his farm one mile north of the city and a few hundred yards south of Wilson stop on the interurban. Sure enough we found his trees loaded to the ground with the most tempting fruit we have seen this season. The Mamie Ross we found pretty as a June bride and sweet as a sixteen year old girl. The Elbertas will ripen a few weeks hence and we'll be from Missouri again. Mrs. Wilson is justly proud of her orchard and garden this year, both compensating liberally for time and labor spent in care and cultivation.

Trinity.

?. J. Orenduff invited this scribe to remain for dinner and we did the eating act to the best of our ability and Buckskin was no less merciful to his oats. Mrs. Orenduff has been our correspondent there for over thirteen years, and our thousands of readers have often wondered who gathered our news for that place. She and Walter B. Wilson, editor of the Democrat-Gazette were school-mates in McKinney several years ago but he knew her then only as Miss Mary Magner.

We found Mrs. Eva Rowe busy drying peaches and a hearty "help yourself" met with a ready response. Her daughter, Miss Polly, is our news gatherer for West Trinity but regret to say that owing to her absence from home, didn't meet her. The Democrat-Gazette is held in such high esteem that Mrs. Rowe is sending two copies to relatives in the west and will send another out soon. Such friendship counts and is the kernel of the nut.

W. D. Gammons is a Tennesseean but knows the Democrat-Gazette is the best county paper published in Texas, and it's the paper of papers in his home.
