Several of the Texas census su
pervisors have been oppointed,
but this district has not yet been
reachcd.
Perhaps sonic one will some
day bring a piece of the pole
back with him. Wish we had a

E. II. Harriman the railroad
king, died Thursday afternoon at
his new home in New York state.
With all his millions he could
■stay the hand of death, and to-
day he is no better than the poor-
est of us.
Peary may think he is raiding
cain with Dr. Cook by denouneir|
him as an impostor, but the peo-
ple do not indorse his course.
Not even his brother officers in
the navy are in sympathy with
him along this line. It was a had
break he made at the start of t he
controversy of his denouncing his
rival before hearing the evidence
will tend to reflect on the navy
if it is indorsed. Hence officers
of the water part of the army are
condemning the action of Peary.
W. J. Bryan will speak in
Dallas Tuesday morning and a
large crowd is expected to be
present. Invitations have been
sent out to public officials and
party officers to be present and
enjoy the feast.
When it rains and the streets
"become muddy, you wish the sun
-would shine; when the sun shines
r-"1 the streets got dusty you
\ t it would rain. There is al-
^ s something that does not sat-
•> . You had better take what
.. and be pleased with it.
It is very unfortunate that
Commander Peary should have
seen fit to denounce Dr. Cook as
an impostor, just because Cook
beat him to the pole. If Peary
got there why shouldn't Cook? If
both got to the pole there is glory
enough for both without one try-
ing to make the other out a liar.
The sympathies of the people of
the world will be with Dr. Cook
until Peary proves his sensation-
al charge that Cook is an impos-j
tor.
At last linn. II. Bascom Thoma
has been petitioned to become a

The contract between the Far-
mers Union and the bankers of
Galveston for advances on cotton
stored in the warehouses of the

been renewed for another year,
and it is said on more liberal
terms to the farmers than the
contract of last year.

he would be a candidate for Dis-

District, which embraces Navarro
Freestone and Limestone counties
In the early 90's he served the
district as attorney and made a
most excellent record. It is un-
derstood that Freeston ecounty
will not have a candidate for the
place and in that event Judge
iKinbell will have a large follow-

and favorably known by almost
the entire population.—Teague

Wednesday of last week by
jumping into a buggy to which
a runaway mule was attached
and holding them in until the
buggy struck a telephone pole,
breaking the harness and allow-

who could do nothing to save
the children; but for the timely
action of this school boy the
children would in all likelihood
ihave been killed. Gainesville
