judge John M. Duncan,
formerly of Tyler, but now
of Houston, was reported this
week to be seriously ill at St.
Joseph's hospital in Houston,
his serious condition being
the result of a recent opera-
tion. The judge was worn
out physically when the ne-
cessity for the operation arose,
and the intense heat of the
present midsummer period,
coupled with pain and general
weakness, has put a severe
strain upon his vitality. It

Jim Lowe y om Texas.
How is this from the Hon-
ey Grove Signal for a tribute
to the Lone Star of Texas:
'There are five points to the
Texas star and every one of
them shines with true Demo-
cratic lustre. One hangs over
the sable soil of the northern
division, where the chiggcrs
hold high carnival every sum-
mer and the boll worm hath
all seasons for his own; auoth-
er juts out into East Texas
where a politician is born e\v
ery minute aud the sandfid-
dler executes a can-can before
breakfast; another holds its
light over the panhandle that
the prairie dog may see his
way from hole to hole and the
real estate agents' imagina-
tion may have full course and
be uot dimmed; another shines
for the coast country where
the bobolink bobs its bobbiest
bob and the geysers throw pe-
troleum at the angels; another
hath its moorings in the south
west, where the fat steer points
his tail at the sun and bellows
a paean of victory, but every
point shines for Democracy
and every twinkle is a forget-
me-not of the star-eyed god-
dess of reform. When your
soul is sick of reading the_ re-
turns from the effete East, the
inconstant West and the elu-
sive Middle States, let your
eye rest upon the figures from
glorious old Texas and your
heart will swell to the propor-
tions of a Republican electoral
majority."
The people of East Texas
will be crowing their own
wheat and making their own
flour before many years. This
was the case at one Jtime, but
other crops crowded the bread
ma-king industry out. Now
| the realization has come that
I cotton is not the best thing in
| the world, even if it is sure
money. Something to eat
conies first, and some day the
folks will quit sending to far
off sections for the "staff of
life."—Nacogdoches Sentinel,
New York city and the ter-
ritory for 100 miles around is
in the grip of a serious drouth.
1 here has been no rain since
the middle of June. Vegetal
tion is parched, wells and riv-
ers are drying up and the
roads are almost impassable
because of the dust.
A stranger who said he was
from the North and was here
looking for a location, stepped
into the News office yesterday
and asked for a copy of the
News. He said he formed his
opinion of a people and a com-
munity largely from reading
the newspapers published
there. So do many other peo-
ple. A newspaper usually re-
flects the business and the
sentiment of its community,
^ and is rarely better or worse
1 than the people who support
it. I he priucipal reason that
the newspapers of Bonham are
not better than they are is
that so many people in Bon*
ham do nothing to support
them.—Bonham News.
