1900-08-26-DALLAS MORNING NEWS- Texas Arthur Pittman, Greenville, Tex- Mr. Big Hat- I inclose herewith my picture for publication in The News. It is very seldom I allow a newspaper the privildge of using my picture, but since The News has done so much toward strengthening my wonderful knowledge I feel that it should be endowed with the privilege. I was born on March 2, 1880, near Milan, Gibson County, Tennessee. My first ten years were spent on a farm, so you see that when I shall have reached the topmost round on the ladder of fame I can boast of having been born on a farm and in a log cabin. In, 1890 I changed my place of abode to Greenfield, Weakley County, Tennessee, where I resided till 1897, when I decided to cast my fortunes with Texas. My education is limited, owing to the fact that I stopped going to school at the age of 12 to assume work in a factory. Eugene Hubbard, you expressed my sentiments to a "t" on every subject you touched. Look out for me on Oct. 6. [Hand drawn picture in article] Correspondence solicited.
