Health conditions at Miami,
Fla., where the 1st and 2nd Texas
regiments are quartered, are evi-
dently very bad, and there is
some talk of demanding a re-
moval. Gov. Culberson is inves-
tigating the matter and will take
whatever steps he may deem
necessary.
The Banner has received a
complimentary ticket to the Dal-
las Fair, which opens on Oct. 1st,
and continues until the 16th.
The management will see to it
that the Fair this year maintains
its reputation as the very best of
its class. Many new attractions
will be added.

about Finger being nominated

Groos’ campaign manager is
making some extravagant claims.
A few more days will settle the
contest.

Home Training for Girls.
“A home training for girls is a
thing not to be despised,” writes
Edward Bok in an article, “Shall
Our Girls go to College?” in the
August Ladies’ Home Journal.
“If that training is of the best it
is an exceedingly fine question to
decide whether it is not as good
in its highest and truest results
as a college course. Thatahome
training is infinitely better for a
great many of our girls than the
best training possible at a col-
lege admits, I think, of very lit-
tle, if any, dispute. I say this
and emphasize the point, because
some of our girls are prone to
feel that they are, in a measure,
abused and handicapped if they
are not permitted by their par-
ents to go to college. I question
very much from our present con-
ditions of society whether the
time has yet been reached in
American life when one can truth-
fully say that the majority of our
girls can be safely sent away
from the home anchorage at a
time in their lives when they are
[most impressionable, and when
the influence of a careful moth-
er’s training means everything
to them.”

To Plant Wheat.
A considerable number of
farmers in this county are con-
templating planting wheat this
fall. Heretofore whenever the
question has been agitated the
obstacle most in the way has
been the lack of mills to grind it.
There are parties who would an-
nually plant it but for the fact
that it cannot be ground into
flour. The Times is assured
that if enough is planted to jus-
tify a mill being put up here,
there will be no further trouble
in that line. Mr. A. C. Buckner,
of Pinehill, will take the names
of all farmers who will obligate
themselves to plant, with the
number of acres each will sow
this fall, and the mill will be
forthcoming, if enough is put in
to justify it. Therefore, each
farmer in the county who will
thus obligate himself is request-
ed to send him his name and the
amount he will plant, on a postal
card, so that the matter can be
gone about in a practical way.
Don’t forget to address the card
to A. C. Buckner, Pinehill, Tex-
as, at once. With cotton at 5
cents per pound and wheat at 80
cents per bushel there should be
thousands of acres planted in
wheat this fall in Rusk county.

Browning will in all probabil-
ity be nominated for lieutenant-
governor. Gough was our
choice, but if we can’t get him
Browning will do very well.
Gough will return to the senate,
as he is one of the hold-overs
from last election.
Ginners who have not already
done so should lose no time in
changing their packing boxes to
the uniform size—24 inches wide
by 54 inches long. A movement
is on foot to secure uniformity in
the size of cotton bales, and it is
more than likely a small premium
will be paid for cotton packed in
bales of not more than 525 pounds
(1600 pounds seed cotton) 24x54
inches.
From Camp Tom Ball.
Houston, Texas, Company K,
4th Regiment, July 24, 1898.—
Dear Banner: Since my last
letter I find many new things in
our camp. There are twelve
companies in the regiment, and
all sworn into service. Our com-
pany was the first on the ground
and second to take the oath. The
boys are still well pleased, with
the exception of hot weather.
We drill about sixteen miles a
day, but we hold out very well
considering that mQSt of us were
not pedestrians by profession.
The regular step and systematic
drill seems to be much easier
than one would imagine. It is
rumored now in camps that we
will not be here longer than ten
or twelve days. Our destiny is
not known. It may be that we
will be sent to Galveston, San
Antonio or Chickamauga. The
object of the move will be to get
better drilling grounds. I have
learned to sleep on a blanket on
the ground without thinking of
better accommodation. We do
our own housekeeping, laundry-
ing, etc., but no cooking. I would
prefer my rations and cook my-
self rather than eat together.
Up to date we have had plenty to
eat, but clothing has not come.
Every precaution is used to keep
the camp in a sanitary condition.
Soldiers are required to bathe
and change garb as often as prac-
tical. I can see nothing in the
way to prevent one from keeping
as neat here, if he has a change
of clothing, as at home. It may
seem absurd to most people, but
I have been with the company
nearly one month and it does not
seem half the time. I am anxious
any time to return home on a fur-
lough, but I would not quit the
company if I could.
I see that the Cherokee Rifles
are organized ready for the third
call. In case the call is made it
may be that I shall try to get a
transfer and join the company.
It will be well for the company
to keep up the organization and
drill as often as possible, espec-
ially the officers. We have a
military school for the benefit of
commissioned and non-commis-
sioned officers. I get the theory
there and the practice on the
field. Success to the democratic
nominees. Yours, etc.,
Ruffin Odom.
