books, statistics and congression-
al records lent out free from
Washington, and had also re-
ceived that letter like the balance
of us had received, asking his
support for “Dee” etc. He said
that he replied to Dee that he
couldn’t conscientiously support
him, being a pretty good candi-
date himself for the same office,
and that he hadn’t sent him
enough cotton seed “from Wash-
ington to make one square meal
for his cow. As he knew there
was plenty of flower seed there at

the cloakroom, pokes his hand
into his overcoat pocket and pulls
out two big red apples. Then he
sits down in ft comfortable chair
before the wood fire that crackles
in the chimney place and pro-
ceeds to eat them. He is as reg-
ular as the sun, and the senators
would rather set their watches
by him than by the old clock that
hangs over the entrance chamber.

me, O people, from my friends
....Will Davis, who some two
years ago got both legs broken in
a hay press two or three miles
northeast of Wills Point, was
suffering so much from the old
wounds that ho decided to go to
Terrell and have them broken
anew and properly Adjusted so
that they might heal soundly and
give him relief. The operation
was performed Wednesday last
and Will was doing well appar-
ently Saturday but ntfivs efttne
8unday that he was not expected
to live. Nothing later from him
than Sunday.
a Wat.tow, May 14.—Farmers

of the few- fair days. Corn is
looking much better though very
sorry1” yet. Cotton is about all
planted. Potatoes, beans, peas
and chickens are coming in and
if the editor wonld come down
and enjoy the hospitality of Wal-

atives here Saturday and Sunday.
....Bros. Griffin and Shepperd
Sunday...-Miss Lillie Pate of
Wills Point is visiting in the Hay-

publicity of the appointment of
R. E. Yarttis to speak at Center
last Saturday night the gathering
was small and for fear some may
think it was for want of interest
in behalf of Yantis’ candidacy by
the people in these “diggings,”
