THE BIG PICNIC
August 28, 29 and 30 Is tne way
the dates read for the big three
days' picnic and reunion by the Ex-
Coufederat.es and Old Settlers Pic-
nic and Reunion Association. And
from present indications this picnic
and reunion will be the most suc-
cessful In the history of the associa-
tion.
The officers and directors were
very careful in setting these dates.
They do not conflict with the annual
picnic and reunion at Sherman,
FarmersvUle or any other nearby
towns. The officers and directors
nre already at work looking for ex-
tra good attractions, getting the
grounds in shape and other work.
Weather indications are that the
above dates will be cool and fair,
with moonlight nights, which makes
it an Ideal time for the occasion.
Keep the dates in mind, Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday, August
28-30. Co-operate with the officers
and directors and help them make
this picnic and reunion the best, ev-
er. No one working in this associa-
tion receives one penny for their
time and labor and they need the co-
operation of every citizen in Collin
county.

FANNIN COUNTY CHAIRMAN.
Hon. H. <«. Evans of Itonliani Suit-
porting Perkins for Congress.
Senator Tom. W. Perkins, of Col-
lin county, Is making perhaps the
most thorough personal canvaB of
the district for congress that was
ever made by any candidate. He has
to rely on his own personal efforts
as he is a man of moderate means
and unable to hire men at so much
per day to tour the district In autos
and circulate misleading campaign
falsehoods on his opponents charac-
ters—would not do such if financial-
ly able to do it. At Bonham Sena-
tor Perkins was introduced by the
chairman of the democratic ex-
ecutive committee of Fannin county,
a life-long prohibitionist and active
supporter of the Collin county con-
gressional candidate in this race.
The Bonham Favorite says:
"After n brief introduction by
Hon. H. G. Evans Senator Perkins
plunged at once into tbe issues of
the race. He gave an outline of his
platform which was progressive, and
dwelt on the initiative, referendum
and rocall, which he favors. Senator
Perkins took up the issue of Prohib-
ition, which ho discussed at length
and of which he is In favor. Willie
in the State Senate, Senator Perkins
introduced some stringent laws on
local option. Ho is a forceful speak-'
er and held the closest attention of
his audience throughout his entire
talk. He took up one after another
of the Issues of the campaign and
dealt with each in a thoroughly com-
petent manner."
WILL SWEEP HUNT COINTY.
Curried Celeste Three to One and
County by More Than &IOO.
Collin county is gratified over the
reception of the candidacv of Tom
W. Perkins for congress in the other
four counties of the district. Every-
where he is looked upon as a winner.
It Is generally recognized that Collin
county is justly entitled to the hon-
or this time.
Read what the Celeste Courier, a
prominent Hunt county paper, Bays
of the outlook:
"Senator Perkins' speech was well
received by his audience and at its
conclusion was heartily applauded.
Four years ago he carried Hunt
county by more than 3300 over two
strong opponents, carrying Celeste
by some three to one. He Is the beat
campaigner and mixer ever In Celes-
te, and from the expressions heard
from his speech, he will be strong
here again, and it looks like from
present indications he will no doubt
be elected, and we might add that
the district can send no more able,
sound or sober man to Congress
than Tom W. Perkins.—Celeste
Courier."
TRUE DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES.
Advocated by Senator Perkins So
says Fannin County Editor.
Concerning the announcement of
Senator Tom W. Perkins for con-
gress the I^eonard (Fannin county)
Graphic says:
"The Graphic writer has only had
a passing acquaintance with Senator
Perkins personally, but we have
been knowing of him for many years
and have heard his close friends say
many good things about him. His
paper, the McKinney Democrat-Ga-
zette, is one of ur most valued ex-
changes and the liberal patronage
that is accordedi it Is true evidence
of his popularity with Ills home peo-
ple.
"Mr. Perkins is now serving his
first term as a State Senator and in
which capacity he has made good.
He has been president of the Texas
Press Association, was elected as
delegate to the National Editorial
Association, and has served as may-
or of the town in which he llveB. He
is a prominent member of all the
leading secret orders, especially the
W. O. W., and his friends are num-
bered by his acquaintances—and his
acquaintances are many.
"Senator Perkins is a Democrat of
the old school type and in Ids plat-
form he Is advocating true democrat-
ic principles, and if elected to the
high office he seeks, he promises to
adhere to these principles.
"He feels that he is ably compe-
tent and fully qualified to fill the
office he seeks and he urges that the
voters judge him by his record in
the past and on the principles he is
advocating now."
CHAHLIE LKDDY FOR PERKINS.
Prominent limit County Lawyer and
Citizen, for Collin Man for
t'ougress.
Senator Perkins and Hon. Chas.
Leddy were here Thursday. Mr. Led-
dy is taking nn active 'nten*st. in
Senator Perkins' campaign, from the
fact that he is a boyhood friend of
the Senator and they have both
worked together In the line of print-
ing, in tlie prohibition cause and
otherwise, and it is but natural that
they stand together in his race for
congress.—Commerce Commercial.
WILL IIE RIGHT AT TOP.
Graysnit County Paper's Pre-F,lection
Estimate of Torn W. Perkins'
Chances.
"Senator Tom W. Perkins of Mc-
Kinney delivered an address here
Friday night in the interest of his
candidacy for congress. He was in-
troduced by Rev. Smith, pastor of
the Christian church, and spoke
nearly an hour to some fifty or sixty
citizens who had gathered in front
of the interurban station to hear his
remarks. Senator Perkins reviewed
Ills work in the legislature of Texas,
laying special stress on what he had
done for the cause of prohibition. He
said Judge Jones had charged that
his record condemner him
hence his reason for extending his
remarks in that connection. He is
featuring the initiative, referendum
and recall and his delineation of
that subject seemed to be satisfact-
ory to those who hold similar views.
Senator Perkins is making a stren-
uous campaign and will be right at
the top when the votes arc counted."

GOOD SPEECH AND PLATFORM.
Collin Congressional Candidate in
Fannin County.
Senator Tom W. Perkins, of Mc-
Kinney, candidate for congress from
the Fourth Congressional District,
addressed a crowd of Fannin county
voters in the District. Court room
Monday in the interest of his can-
didacy. Although lie was scheduled
to speak at 2 o'clock, yet on account
of the lateness of the train, he did
not speak until 3 o'clock.
Henry Evans Introduced the
speaker, who in an address of about
an hour In length, outlined his plat-
form, which was, in the main, pro-
gressive. His platform, as he stated
harmonizes with the platform adopt-
ed by the Houston State Convention.
He spoke of the tariff, initiative, re-
ferendum and recall, and the prohib-
itlon question, which he discussed
at length.
Mr. Perkins made a good speech
and without question has a good
platform.—Bonham News,
IN GRAYSON COUNTY.
Senator Tom W. Perkins for Con-
gress—Friend of (lie People.
Concerning tne announcement and
candidacy of Collin's candidate for
congress, the Bells Bulletin, one of
Grayson County's leading papers
says:
"Senator Perkins is one of the
most prominent newspaper men
in Texas, Is n man of unimpeachable
integrity and a successful business
career. He is a friend to the people
and If the voters of tills district elect
him to congress they will have noth-
ing to regret. He Is busy at present
meeting the voters of this district
and will come as near seeing all
the voters as any man In the race
for Tom W. Is a hustler and a genial
pleasant gentleman.
The press over the district and all
the state commend Senator Perkins
for this high position and below are
reproduced only a few of the hun-
dreds of press notices he has receiv-
ed since announcing."
of Ills colored friends had had a
quarrel. Ezell went to his home
and got hlB pistol, and to hear Mm
tell It, he was going to settle the
little misunderstanding. But tho
officers were notified, and Deputy
Burgess responded, arriving on tho
scene In time to prevent serious
trouble. Ezell has two charges
against him, ouo in Justice court for
disturbing the peace, and ono in
county court for carrying a pistol,
lie waived an examining trial and
was released on bond. Fellows like
this are adviBed that they can have
all the fun they want, but must not
get gay.
Perkins In Hunt.
On Friday afternoon, Hon. Tom
W. Perkins of McKinney spoke to a
good crowd and throughout his dis-
course frequent approvnl by both
the voters and the ladles was notic-
ed.
Senator Perkins was a former
Lone Oak citizen and the remlnls-
ence, in which he Indulged of bye
gone days when he as a printer boy
working on the old Lone Oak paper,
brought to mind to many of his
friends the rapid advance he has
made by hard work and untiring
zeal. Over In McKinney Perkins Is
known as a live wire and his friends
there claim he has done more to-
wards putting McKinney on the map
than most any citizen In tho town.
Whether he will make a good Con-
gressman or not will be decided by
the people on July 27, but that he Is
a progressive and valuable citizen,
no one has ever denied.—Lone Oak

Washington D. C. July 11.—Last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturb-
ances to cross continent July 11 to
15, cool wave 13 to 17. This will
bring an end to the July hot winds
and drouth period. I do not mean
the drouth will l e broken but when
the cool wave comeB In there will
be no more hot winds during this
month and therefore the evapora-
tion and drouth will not be so se-
vere. One more hot wave that will
bring hot winds to some dry sections
—during the first half of August—
and then the crops will probably not
again be damaged by hot winds this
season.
A hot wave about middle of Sept-
ember will be quite beneficial in
maturing very late corn and lato
spring wheat. Some Indication of
frost in the spring wheat country
not far from September 10. Then
the warm wave following will make
the late spring wh.ut crop.
Next disturbance will reach Paol-
fic const about July 15, cross Pacific
slope by close of 10, and groat cen-
tral valleys 17 to 1!), eastern sec-
tions 21. Warm wave will cross Pa-
cific slope about July 15, great cen-
tral valleys 17, eastern sections 19.
Cool wave will cross Pacific slope
about July 18, great central valleys
20. eastern sections 22.
Tills disturbance will bring show-
ers and low temperatures. 1 would
not. be surprised to hear of light
frosts In northern sections not far
from July 20, nltliough frosts sel-
dom occur at that time of the sum-
mer crop season. No damage 1b ex-
pected by such frosts and only a lit-
tle retardation from such excessive-
ly cool weather.
Another disturbance will
Pacific coast about July 21,
Pacific slope by close of 22
central valieys 23 to 25, eastern sec-
tions 20. Warm wave will cross
Pacific slope about July 21, great
central valleys 20, eastern section^
28.
This will be a duplicate of the
preceding disturbance except that
less rain is expected. Very cool
weather will continue. This very
cool weather is not the most favor-
able condition for growing corn.
Electric storms are expected with
this disturbance but they can not
now be located. An observatory re-
cording these electric storms located
near Washington is called Chelten-
ham. The oldest of such observa-
tories on this continent is located
near Montreal. Canada. These elec-
tric Btorms sometimes Interfere with
Telegraphing.
Judge C. C. Blake of Richland,
Kansas,, Is now publishing In book
form—about 400 pages—his system
of long range weather forecasts. We
should be pleased to know that
Judge Blake has the generosity and
the money that enables him to give
to the world his forty years success-
ful experience in this line. Of course
there are no perfect weather fore-
casts but Judge Blake lias made a
success, not only in forecasting, but
financially. He has made a fortune
out of his work. One Item of his
success is this. He successfully cal-
culated the great and destructive
drouth of 1901 and the great dealers
and speculators in grain became
very much interested in his work.
He cleared $90,000 on that seasons
