One evening this woek Capt.
Alford sent his little 11-ycur-old
son, Dee, to G. N. Crawford’s, a
neighbor’s, for a gun Crawfoid
had borrowed. It was after dark
when tlio little fellow was return-
ing. A Mr. Harrison who was
going over to Mr. Crawford’s to
sit up with a sick person saw the
boy coming, and, to have u little
fun, got out by the side of the
road and made a noise like a wild
cat, such animals being reported
to be in that community. The
little boy fired at the supposed
beast, and sprinkled Harrison with
shot. We understand the wounds
are not dangerous, but painful.

A Horrible Ontbreak.
“Of large sores on my little
daughter’s head devclo'ped into a
ease of scald head,” writes C. D.
Isbell of Morganton, Tenn
of County Democratic
Executive Committee.
Bo it remembered that under r
call of Jus. A. Harris, chairman
oj the executive committee of Van
Zandt county, the. executive com-
mittee of said county met at Can-
ton on March 31, 1900, when the
following resolutions were unan-
imously adopted:
Resolved by the democratic ex-
ecutive committee of Van Zandt
county, Texas, that we view with
regret the action of the congres-
sional executive committee at Min-
eola in its radical departure from
democratic usage and custom in
the manner of, nominating a can-
didate for congress. We believe
that to acquiesce in such an ar-
rangement would be to assist in
establishing a precedent which
limy very easily bo used jto perpet-
uate in office tlic “man that’s
in,” which obliterate county lines,
destroy comity sovereignty and
authority and demoralize county
organization. We deny that the
congressional executive committee
had authority to adopt any snob
plan ahd insist that the counties
are the units of the congressional
district.
Therefore, be it resolved by this
committee that the candidates for
the democratic nomination he
voted for at the general primary
election hold for other officers,
and that the ftindidato receiving
the highest number of votes in
the county shall be entitled to the
total delegate vote of the county
in the congressional convention,
the unaut horized and unjustifiable
mandate of the congressional ex-
ecutive committee to the contrary
notwithstanding.
throughout the state; and where-
as Judge Jno. 8. Hpinks ims re-
quested that, the nominations for
congress in Van £andt county be
made by and submitted to the
general primary; therefore he it
resolved that We rescind our for-
mer action lmd at a former meet-
ing fixing n time of holding i
primary, and that a primary elec,
tion be held on June 9, 1900, for
the purpose of nominating eandi
dotes for the various state, dis-
trict, oounty and precinct offices;
and that at any nominating con-
vention thereafter held during the
year 1900, the successful candi-
dates for district aud state offices
in said primary shall be entitled
to receive the entire vote of Van
Zandt county os Suggested by a
former resolution of this com-
mittee this day adopted.
Resolved by the democratic ex-
ecutive committee of Van Zandt
county, that we fully endorse the
services and administration of the
Hons. J. G. Russell and R. W.
Simpson, district judge and dis-
trict attorney of the 7th judicial
district, since they have occupied
said positions and we heartily
commend them to the voters of
said 7th district.
