—George Tilley says that he furnished
his horse and buggy to a certain young
widower last Sunday, to take a lady out
to meeting in the country; but, for some
reason, the young widower went alone,
i and on Monday was taken down with
fever. His friends say it was dengue, but
George says it was no sucli thing ; that
he made a clear diagnosis of that case,
and it was nothing but “ matrimonial
fever.”

road, near the Smith comity line. A party
of some five or six citizens of Henderson
county were returning from Tyler, where
they had been to sell cotton and do their
trading, when two masked men leveled
their revolvers at them, and made them
deliver up their cash, amounting in all to
five or six hundred dollars.

—We enjoyed a pleasant call last Mon-;
day from that progressive and prosperous
farmer, Mr. J. P. Clements, whose line
farm is two miles west of tlie pretty little
town of Bullard, on the Kansas & Gulf
Slioit Line railroad. We were very much
gratified to learn from Mr. Clements that
he has about completed a first-class flour-
ing mill on his farm, and that he would
begin operating it during the present
week. He says that his machinery for
manufacturing flour is all of the most im-
proved kind, and having an experienced
miller to operate it, he is confident of be-
ing able to turn out the finest grade of
flour. We hope that this enterprise of
Mr. Clements will prove eminently suc-
cessful ; that it will be properly appre-
ciated by all the farmers within reach of
his mill, and that they will manifest their
appreciation of his enterprise by growing
wheat with which to supply his mill and
supply their families with good, fresh
flour. There is a mistaken idea prevalent
with farmers in this county in regard to
growing wheat. The impression that it
will not flourish and yield well, especially
on tlie red lands of this county, has no
foundation in fact If the soil is thor-
oughly prepared, and the wheat sown
early in the fall, it will succeed well in
nine seasons out of ten. At least, it will
not fail as often as cotton does. Hereto-
fore the complaint lias been that there
were no mills in the country to manufac-
ture tlie wheat into flour. It is a subject
for congratulation with us that this com-
plaint is being obviated. Mr Clements’
mill at Bullard, and Judge Thompson’s
mill at this place, will be able to grind a
large amount of grain. Now, will the
farmers have enterprise enough to at
least give tlie growing of wheat in this
county a fair trial ? We shall see.

—Mr. J. L. Douglas, president of the
Jacksonville board of trade, has received
letters from parties in Illinois who are
contemplating the establishment of a
bank in this place at an early day. The
business community here feel very sensi-
bly the need of banking facilities in the
town, and it is only a question of a short
time when a bank will be established here,
•as there can be no doubt of the fact that
it would prove a profitable business .ven-
ture. One of the parties referred to will
be here to investigate the sitnation in
person about the 15th of November.

The work ot gathering the cotton crop

open weather this fall.

and that the farmers are progressing very
satisfactorily in gathering their crops.
—Royal], Coleman & Co., of Palestine,

you as good liquors as you can get over

just what we say. Morris & Bro.
—Would it not be a good idea for some
of our merchants who are in favor of
growing wheat in this county to order a
lot of seed wheat, so that farmers who
may want to sow wheat during tlie next
month can get the grain ? In a walk over
town yesterday we were not able to find
a bushel of wheat.
—“ The Fatal Glass,” a new temperance
play, will be presented to the public at
Ragsdale’s hall on Friday night, Nov. 6.
The play will be rendered by local ama-
teurs who have pleased and delighted the
public in previous performances, and as
they have been rehearsing this piece for
some time it is safe to predict that it will
be well rendered.
—If our city fathers have not already
done so, they should enact an ordinance
embracing the hurt district on the east
side of Main street within the fire limits
of the town, and prohibit tlie erection of
wooden buildings in that block. We be-
lieve that a majority of the owners
of the property, if not all of them,
are in favor of such action by the council.
—Now that the season is upon us when
stoves and fireplaces are used for beating
purposes, it behooves ns to use due dili-
gence to prevent fires. It would be a good
idea for the City council to pass an ordi-
nance making it the duty of the City Mar-
shal to carefully inspect, at least once a
month,the flues and fireplaces in all build-
ings which, in case of tire, would endan-
ger the business portions of the town, af-
fixing proper penalties for failure on the
(part of owners or tenants of buildings to
^remedy defects in flues or fireplaces when
■pitied to do so by the City Marshal, /
■^ktimely precaution may be the means
a good deal of properly. I
