It was the writer’s good pleasure a few days ago to dine with Judge and Mrs. 
W.C. Patterson, of the Box Springs District.  Mrs. Patterson descended from an 
ancestry who knew how to please and satisfy the exacting palate of man.   The 
Judge is one of the best fixed men in the county.  His farming implements and 
labor-saving machines are numerous for this section.  His several mule colts 
will soon render him independent of Kentucky in that line.  His registered 
Berkshire hogs, and his herd of Herford cattle are beauties.  One of the last 
named tips the scales at twelve hundred and forty pounds and is still 
increasing in weight.

The Judge’s home is situated several miles from any post office, but thanks to 
Hon. Tom Watson, the author of our American Rural Mail system, the carrier 
deposits each day, except Sunday at the Judge’s home several daily papers and 
other literature.  Mrs. Patterson owns perhaps the largest flock of Peafowls in 
the county.  I wish “Dixie” could view the iridescent and chatoyant beauty of 
their plumage, and then maybe he would quit throwing rocks at the women for 
wishing to appear attractive.  The Judge and his son, Bot, keeps a kennel of 
foxhounds.

“Of pure St. Herbert’s breed,
Unmatched for courage, breath or speed.”

Reynard has to foot it at a lively rate to keep ahead of those dogs for even an 
hour.
