YThe Election.
Returns from the county indi-
cate that the entire democratic
ticket was elected, and that the
constitutional amendment ha;:
also carried.
At the Mexia box only about
ha'f a vote was polled, with the
following result where there was
opposition:
Lanham, 341
Burkitt 117
Bobbins, 317
Nolte, HO
Gresham, 381
Udfried, 26
Kincheloe, 400
Boyil, 57
For Amendment 312
Against Amendment, 129
Thus it will be seen it was
decidedij1 a one sided affair, all
round, notwithstanding a few
disappointed antis who had voted
in the primaries put up a candi-
date against Judge Kincheloe at
the eleventh hour, but the vote
at this box sh ows that the scheme
died a-bornm'.
A King is Queen.
Washington, Nov. 4.—Among
well known gentlemen in Wash-
ington city from the southwestern
Motion of the country the latter
part of last week was Mr. K. W.
A of Saa Antonio, who was
' option of the country on
.1 bUsinee* trip.
H*. tn speaking of mat-
v 1 •' -
t^rs of public interest, stated
that the public have heard a great
deal of cattle king?, but they
have, in this part of the country,
heard but little of cattle queens.
In speaking of the latter, he
referred to Mrs. King of Corpus
Christi, Texas, who is the owner
of one of the most extensive
ranches in the state of Texas.
She is now, says Mr. Flagg quite
an aged lady, and has turned over
the management of the place to
her son-in- law* She has six
ranches in South Texas, and they
comprise a total of 500,000 acres .
The largest of these ranches is
located in Nueces county, which
touches on the gulf of Mexico,
and contains about 200,000 acres.
Mr. Plagg says that it is esti-
mated that Mrs. King is worth
upwards of 82,000,000. She was
left the property by her husband,
was one of the pioneers of Tbxas,
and who began bis career as a
deck hand on a steamboat of the
Rio Graude.

In

about the man is behind, There
is the man behind the counter and
the man behind the gun. the man
behind the buzz saw and the man
behind his son: the man who is be'
hind the timet, the one behind his
rents; the man behind the plow

his whiskers, the man behind hi8
fist, and everything behind a thing
is entered on the list. But they
have skipped another fellow of
whom nothing has been said—the
fellow who is even or a little ways
ahead; who always pays for what
he gets, whose bill is always sign-
ed—he's blamed sight more im-
portant than the man who is be-
hind. All we editors and mer-
chants and the whole commercial
clan, ai'i indebted for existsnce to
this honest, noble man. He keeps
us all in business and his town is
never dead, and so I take my hat
off to the man who is ahead.—
