What some people call bravery
is pandering to the majority and
working the big 3ide for every
cent possible. You can’t guess
who we have in mind and we
aren’t going to tell you.

Oklahoma, says Carrie Nation

An inspector for thp postoffice

many a toiler in the field and

any more games of cards to be

for two or three card parties have

figures; and, yet there are in
every county and community
people who will oppose or throw
cold water on every effort made
to improve the highways. These
hub-deep lanes, and jaded stock,
and broken harness, and drivers
urged on to profanity ought to
forever silence all the knockers,
but this is not the case. You
hear them every time a proppsi-
tion is made to do something.
They don’t like the plan, or are
confident that the effort will prove
a failure, or the move will take
too much money. There are
Sanballats now just as there were
in the days of Nehemiah. If we
ever have good roads it will be in
spite of these, not through any
counsel they may give or efforts
they may put forth.
Mrs. C. W. Yerkes married
young Mr. Mizner four weeks af-
ter the death of her first husband,
who left her several million dol-
lars. This looked very bad, but
when the papers published the
item she said it was a lie out of
the whole cloth. Then the min-
ister that performed the ceremo-
ny confirmed the paper’s report
and the woman denounced him as
a liar. Next day the license,
showing that the marriage had
taken place, was recorded and the
new husband moved into the pal-
atial home of his bride. Then
the woman admitted she married
Mr. Mizner. But how ought a
woman be treated who marries
again before the dirt settles on
her husband’s coffin, and then
lies about it? And yet she may
be at the head of New York’s
four hundred and lead the balls
at Newport—because she is very,
very rich.
There is a big flutter of excite-
ment in Denison society circles,
and many of the city’s popular
ladies are asking whether they
will have to face an indictment
for violating their country’s laws.
The ladies of the XXI Club own
a building in which the Club
meetings are held. They have
also been renting rooms in their
building for parties and recep-
tions. At some of these social
functions cards were played and
prizes were awarded. A few days
since the Mayor warned the la-
dies that in his opinion they were
try and cannot escape taxation
on the grounds that it is benefit-
ting the people in general, for it
benefits nobody save the owner.
If reports are true, however, such
a law would not do a great deal
of harm in Texas, since it is re-
ported that practically no money
is rendered for taxation.
The Bonham News is in favor
of good roads, provided they can
be had on the right plan. It
wouldn’t favor turning the worst
mudhole into a pike that would
make the Appian way look worse
than thirty cents unless it could
be done on the plan originated
and advocated by the News. Just
what the News’ plan is is alittle
difficult to understand, notwith-
standing the paper has devoted
several columns to its advocacy
and several more columns to op-
posing other plans. From the
best we can gather the News
would begin the work of making
good roads very much as Mr.
Knickerbocker started the work
of building the old Dutch church.
Washington Irving tells us that
when Mr. Knickerbocker began
this important work the first thing
he did was to purchase seven
pounds of smoking tobacco; then
he seated himself a few hundred
yards from the site of the pro-
posed structure and smoked forty
days or more. His next move
was to build a small boat, in
which he rode for several months
up and down the river looking at
the site from every point of the
compass. He then spent several
years dreaming dreams and gass-
ing with companions as lazy as
himself. In time a chapel was
erected, but not until many
Dutchmen had gone to that
bourne where sauer kraut and
lager beer 1 are not served. The
News would favor a bond issue
for road improvement if some-
body would give several months
time to going through the coun-
ty counting the trees that would
have to be felled and the number
of horses that would pass over
the road in seven years. Then it
would ask that a dozen or more
expert accountants be employed
several months to estimate the
number of spadesful of dirt it
would be necessary to move and
the cost of moving each spadeful.
Such advocates of good roads as
the News ought to be kicked over
the moon by one of the Fannin
county mules now wading mud
belly-deep in a vain endeavor to
drag a wagon loaded with*i dozen
eggs to town. if

Both houses of the South Caro-
lina Legislature have passed a bill
to abolish the state dispensary.
About ten years ago the state
took charge of the liquor business
of South Carolina and established
dispensaries in the various towns.
Liquor is sold only in original
packages and cannot be drunk
on the premises;all the profits go
to the state. For a time the dis-
pensary was popular and the
South Carolinians boasted that
they had found the solution of the
liquor problem, but of late years
the dispensary falle'n has into dis-
repute.
Bonham is to have a “sock social”
soon. It will now be up to Honey
Grove to pull off a suspender soiree or
some other function that will head
Bonham off.—Paris Advocate.
Don’t know about “pulling off
a suspender” but we are going to
“heads off” that sock social.
Sock socials are considered very
swell events in Bonham social
circles and all who attend are ex-
pected to leave their shoes (if
they happen to own any) at home.
A prize is usually given to the
one whose olfactories show the
least wear and stand the longest
without seeking relief from the
smelling salts bottle.
Jim Lowry is wrong again. He says
that he always said that Bonham was
not more than a mile from hades. Jim
just missed it about fifteen miles.—
Bonham Favorite.
If Bro. Cowden believe^, thaj
hell is fifteen miles from Bonnam
he is not the man to warn sinners
to flee the wrath to come. A man
who can’t locate the enemy any
better than that would allow Old
Nick to take the outposts and
and commissary before he finish-
ed quoting his text. The preach-
er who listens to the roaring of
the wells and the hissing of the
postholes and doesn’t get on to
the fact that hades is within a
few feet of him fails to discern
the signs of the times.
The Government Agricultural
Bureau is in the throes of scan-
dal again. Commissioner North,
who is paid to count the cotton
crop, was guilty of securing esti-
mates of the amount of cotton
unginned last month, though it is
no part of his duty to estimate
the crop. When called upon to
give out the estimate of the un-
ginned crop he got very mad and
said the whole cotton business
was a nuisance. The question
naturally arises, what did Mr.
North want with the estimates?
Mr. Jordan asked him this very
pointed question, and Mr. North
hastily replied that he desired to
ascertain in what sections all the
cotton was ginned. Then Mr.
Jordan asked why he didn’t ask
if ginning was over instead of
seeking to find out how much
cotton had not been ginned?
Then Mr. North was as silent as
the Egyptian sphinx. Somebody
profited from the estimates se-
cured. Who was it?
must confess that we tremble
with terror when we think of the
possibility of government by in-
junction being applied to news-
, papers of Texas. Suppose, for
J instance, that some Bonham man
! should one day secure an injunc-
' tion -restraining the Signal from
saying anything further about
the court-house crack or the fly-
ing-jenny street car track. This
would practically put us out of
business; but matters could be
made worse by Paris also re-
straining us from mentioning the
fact that her glory as the whiski-
torial center is about to depart ;
and then Clarksville might show
signs of returning life and ener-
gy by having the big judge warn
us to say nothing more of the
Carnegie library which bank-
rupted that town in a month. The
kerbosh would then be cow-
strong and pig-tight and the Sig-
nal would hang its harp on the
willows for all time. Other pa-
pers might suffer also. The courts
might possibly restrain Bonham
papers from publishing each oth-
ers’ editorials and also Punch out
the man from Danner. But let
us hope that the newspaper in-
junction will stay in Gecrgia.

thermore, Mr. Graves is a candi-

ter the filthy coin that goes to
keep the printers and paper man-
ufacturers in a good humor, does
not look with favor upon the can-

The management of the Meth-
odist Publishing House is being
criticised by some because pro-
grams were printed for theatrical
companies, and letter heads, en-
velopes and other stationery print-
ed for saloon-keepers. We sin-
cerely hope we are not afflicted
with moral strabismus.* but it
does seem to us that our Metho-
dist brethren have committed no
crime worthy of death or bonds.
They are conducting a large
printing and stationery house
and their business is to print for
customers and sell books. No
dry goods or grocery house
would refuse to sell a saloon-
keeper supplies,, and why should
a printing house refuse to print
stationery for him? Surely there
is nothing sacred about printer’s
ink or types. We might argue
that if nobody would print for a
saloon or theater such enter-
prises would have to go out of
business; but this would also be
tae case if dry goods, grocery
and drug establishments refused
to sell them. It cannot be a
greater crime for a stationery
house to print a letter head for a
saloon or a theater than to sell
the proprietor of either a book,
and we are confident there isn’t a
publishing house in existence
that wouldn’t sell any man all
the books he could carry without
even asking his business. To
some of the pure all things are
impure.___

On last Saturday night Ira Spelce
and wife were made to rejoice over the

nicely.
On last Saturday, Feb. 3rd, at the
noon hour, the Death Angel entered
the happy home of our respected tows-
man, Mr. C. Z. Bridge, and took from
it the loving mother and devoted wife.
Mrs Bridge had been a patient suffer-
er for many months and when the end
came she did not dread to go but left
this world with expressions of joy, tell-
ing those who watched around her bed-
side that she was going to meet her
Savior and lovingly, as she had always
done, admonished them to meet her in
Heaven. Oh, what a sweet farewell!
Dear bereaved ones do not longer think
of her as dead. She is, not, She sit-
teth at the “right hand of God.” and
is beckoning to you. What a noble
life she lived, that of a Christian from
early girlhood. She had reached the
age of 57, had been a member of the
Methodist church for about forty years.
She was married to Mr. Bridge about
seven years ago and has spent the last
7 or 8 as a resident of Windom. No
woman ever lived among us who made
a greater number of friends and who
was more generally loved, or who will
be more greatly missed by church,
family and friends. The funeral ser-
vices were conducted at the residence
by Revs. Smith and Kirkpatrick Sun-
day afternoon. The remains were laid
to rest at Bonham Monday afternoon.
The readers of the Signal will not be
surprised to learn of the death of Un-
cle Jacob Baldwin, which occurred at
the home of his son, John, Sunday
night just before 10 o’clock. The end
came not unexpectedly, since for years
he has been a confirmed invalid and
often times has his condition been such
that his children have been summoned
to the home to bid a last farewell to
their loved and honored father. And
so it was this time. When his condi-
tion grew worse about a week ago his
children were again notified and dur-
ing the last days of his life they were
all with him and administered that
gentle and loving attention that only
the worthy child can bestow upon a
worthy parent. During the last years
of Uncle Jacob’s life he spoke often and
freely about his future home, at all
times with that assurance and confi-
dence which are the heritage of the
genuinely Christian only ; often asking
why it was that God would allow him
to remain here and suffer so much when
it appeared that his life work was com-
pleted, though it being his Master’s
will was the only answer he sought and
he quietly and patiently bore his long
and intense suffering with a fortitude
that could scarcely be understood by
those unused to undergoing such or-
deals. The funeral services were con-
ducted by Rev. Reece, of Dodd City, at
the residence of his son in Windom, a
large concourse of relatives and friends
were present to pay the last tribute of
respect to the aged and honored dead
and to extend sympathy to those who
mourned the death of a loved one. Im-
mediately after the services the body
was laid to rest in the Dodd City ceme-*
teay. Of all the men who have been
citizens of Fannin county we doubt if
there is one who has contributed more
to the real good of the people than the
subject of this short sketch. He was
born in Alabama January 7, 1822, and
died Feb 4, 1906, making him 84 years
and 27 days old. Being deprived of
both mother and father in childhood he
came to Texas in 1834 with an uncle
and settled in Fannin county and has
been a continuous resident of the coun-
ty since. In 1850 he was married to
Elizabeth Fitzgerald, also of Alabama,
and to them 14 children were born, 11
of whom lived to be grown and 8 of
them are still living. And be it said
to the honor of this good man and his
noble Christian wife that Fannin coun-
ty has not produced eight more useful
citizens. Early in life Uncle Jake de-
veloped a capacity for business and in
his younger days amassed quite a for-
tune which was divided among his chil-
dren upon the death of his wife some
ten years ago, He did valiant service
in the Mexican war, also in the war
between the states. Uncle Jake was
baptised and joined tfie Christian
church in August 1904. He was a good
neighbor, a sympathetic friend, always
generous to the faults and shortcom-
ings of others. Being a man of means
he was sought far and near by those
who needed help and such he was nev-
er known to turn away empty-handed.
Though he had at the time of his death
out-of-date notes amounting to thous-
ands of dollars, he was never known to
bring suit against a man to collect a
debt of any kind. Uncle Joseph.

Greenville, Feb. 6.—Last Sat-
urday night several boys, or
young men, went to the home of
Rev. Mr. Green, near Cash, and
called him out to the gate for a
marriage ceremony and set up a
dummy at the gate. They called
Mr. Green out three times and
the last time he came out with his
shotgun, which he fired three
times at the fleeing boys, putting!
some No. 4 shot in their should-
ers and backs.
The boys fairly flew and called
out that they would visit him
again. Mr. Green told them that
he would use larger shot next
time.

A traveler was once passing on horse-
back through a backwoods region
where the inhabitants were notoriously
shiftless. Arriving at a dilapidated
shanty at the noon hour, he inquired
what were the prospects for getting
dinner.
The head of the family, who had been
absorbed in “resting” on a log in front
of his dwelling, replied that he “guess-
ed ma’d hev suthin on to the table putty
soon.”
Thus encouraged the traveler dis-
mounted. But to his chagrin he found
the food to be such that he could not
force himself to partake of it. Making
such excuses as he could for lack of
appetite, he happily bethought himself
of a kind of nourishment that he might
venture to take there and one sure to
be found on a farm. He asked for some
milk.
“We don’t hev milk any more,”
drawled the head of the house. “The
dog’s dead—died week afore last.”
“The dog!” cried the traveler. “But
what has that got to do with it?”
“Well,” explained the host medita-
tively, “the critters don’t seem ter
know ’nough ter c’m up ter be milked
theirselves. The dog he used ter go
’n’ fetch ’em up.”
