The PLANET Found Them.
Editor of PLANET :
Please give me space to say a
few words concerning the "ad" for
lost friends. Mrs. Susan Anderson
received a letter the first [undecipherable] Mr.
Charles Braxton of [undecipherable]
that he knew the [undecipherable] in
Virginia. He knew the following
names in the "ad" and he is in Lake
Provident, La., Ada Pendleton, Dr.
Goodman, Henry Burruss. He said
Henry Burruss family lives about
two hundred yards from his father's
house and he knows John L. Bur-
russ [Burruss], (white). Mr. Charles Braxton
says he has been a reader of The
Planet for good many years.
Yours truly,
SANDY ANDERSON,
Mineola, Wood Co., Texas.
FROM TEXAS.
MINEOLA, WOOD CO., TEX.,
August 6, 1894.
We have had a good little rain in
this part of the section.
Prof. Cain's wife has a good school
at Lake Fork, Texas, and it is well
seated with thirty-five scholars.
Mrs. Lucy Meade says Rev. R. Spil-
ler [Spiller] is a first class preacher. Some
talks that the St. Paul Baptist
Church belongs to the M.E Connec-
tion [Connection], if that's so, the M. E. connec-
tion [connection] has two lots in Mineola. Rev.
T. W. Bartlett says he is going to
resign, and preach at the First Bap-
tist [Baptist] Church, Texarkana, Ark.
There is not a colored paper print-
ed [printed] here.
Mrs. Susan Anderson has an "ad"
in the PLANET. She has received
two letters, one from Alex. Johnson,
the other one from Charles Braxton
of Lake Providence, La., both these
gentlemen are readers of the PLANET

preached on the 12th of August. If

Found Her Relatives.
Mineola, Tex., Special.
Some of the merchants of this town
have made a change in business all
around. The cotton buyer says, bring
your cotton to Mineola, and promise
they will give you as much for cotton
as any market in the State. [undecipherable] had
the first bale sold here for only six
cents per pound. We still cry "hard
times," and the same echo comes back
to us, "hard times." And it was the
colored man that helped to make the
"hard times." Mr. E. S. Jones is run-
ing [runing] a first class barber shop north of
Pratt's house Mr. W. H. Oldain's
baby died on the nineteenth inst.
Mrs. Witherspoon has been very
sick, and also the daughter of [undecipherable]
Arnold. If any one wants bricks call
on E. D. Powell. Mrs. Susan Ander-
son [Anderson] has found her long lost brother
and relatives in Virginia. [undecipherable] W.
Gatewood, of Norfolk, Va., the [undecipherable]
man, received $1.50 which was made
up here by Sandy Anderson's father
and mother. Mr. Gatewood returned
many thanks to them. If you sub-
scribe [subscribe] now, you can get it for $1.50
