Tax Dodgers Don’t Want to Be Sued and
are Paying Up Rapidly.
The announcement on the part
of the commissioners’ court of its
determination to sue all delin-
quent tax-payers who do not come
up with their portion of the taxes,
is working most admirably.
Early on the morning following
the above announcement, a cer-
tain buisness man of this city
hastened to the collector’s office
and turned in nearly fifty dollars
which he owed the county for
taxes on city property. Not only
that, but citizens all over the co-
unty are being heard from, so
that the daily receipts of the col-
lector’s office ever since the af-
oresaid announcement have aver-
aged about three hundred dol-
lars. Let the good move continue
and soon old Fannin will have
ample funds in her treasury.—

YOUNG PEOPLE DIE TOGETHER.
Married only a Few Days. Man and Wife
Killed Themselves with a Revolver.
Tulsa, I. T., March 3.—This
morning at 5:30 o’clock William
Need and his wife walked to the
outer edge of town and killed
themselves with a 38 caliber pis-
tol. From letters left it would
seem that both parties were tired
of living. Need was a young
man well known in Tulsa, and
was married last Sunday to a
young lady in Kan. Deceased was
a Woodman of the World in good
standing and carried $2,000 insu-
rance, and in the letter left to
his father, requested him to pay
his funeral exenses and other
little debts, and he could have
the remainder.
The world’s annual production
of gold is now nearly $400,000,000;
four times what it was ten years
ago. We haven’t the slightest
desire to inaugurate a free-silver
discussion, but we do desire to
call attention to the fact that more
money metal was all that the
people known as “free silver”
cranks ever contended for. It
came in a different way from
what they expected, mother earth
instead of legislation increasing
the supply, but the increase
brought the relief sought and
proved the correctness of the
free-silverites’ theory.
As an instance of how quickly
wood can be converted into paper
it is related that at Essenthal,
Germany, recently three trees
were cut down at 7:35 in the
morning, instantly barked and
pulped and at 9:43 the first roll
of paper was ready. An auto-
mobile carried it to the press
room of the nearest daily paper
and at 10 o’clock the paper was
for sale on the streets. Marvel-
ous indeed. What was a giant
oak of the forest at breakfast
time was handed to the guests at
dinner with a full account of the
world’s doings, including Mrs.
Chadwick’s manipulations, a re-
sult of the base®bali games and,
all the choice scandals from
Vienna to Porto Rico.

An Old and Famous Church.
There stands on Garrison hill
at Fort Gibson, I. T., a church
house that was built at an early
day and has sheltered some of
tho most noted men and women
of the age. Henry M. Stanley,
the explorer, taught school there
when he was a young man.
General Hazen resided at Fort
Gibson when he married Miss
McLean, now the wife of Admiral
Dewey, and they often attended
services there together. Mrs.
Hazen was accounted the most
stylish woman who ever occupied
the officers’ quarters at the post
and she and her husband lived
in the old stone house on Garri-
son hill built by the government
for officers of the post. Other
noted men who often attended
services in this old church in
pioneer days were Washington
Irving, Longfellow, General
Scott, Jeff Davis, Robert E. Lee,
and General McClelland. A move
ment is on foot by patriotic citi-
zens to preserve the ancient
building that has sheltered so
many of our country’s noted
people.

fast, swoop down on it like a hun-

Mashed a Sinners Nose and Put the Soler
Plexus to a Preacher The Same Day.
An “unwashed sinner” called
a preacher a horrible name on
the Texas side yesterday and was
knocked out in shot order, his
nose being spread out over his
face in a manner calculated to a-
rouse the envy of Corbett or Jef-
fries. A little later a street preach-
er with long hair and a sepul-
chral sounding voice and claiming
to be the “second Christ” under-
took to give the same preacher
(the one who had just won the
fight) a most fearful tongue lash-
ing from his improvised street
pulpit, but he likewise came to
grief. The pugilistic preacher
was the Rev. Charles W. Hughes,
pastor of the Rose Hill Methodist
church, and he had stopped to
hoar the street preacher’s dis-
course. The latter spied him and,
knowing his face and calling,
turned his entire attention to
Methodist preachers in general,
whom he denounced as liars and
miscreants of the worst kind,
without exception. “They are
all a gang of lying hypocrites,”
he shouted; “take the money and
the women out of the proposition
and everyone of them would quit
preaching.” Finally he made a
personal application, of what he
had said to Bro. Huges, who,
after standing a perfect torrent
of billingsgate and the vilest ep-
ithets, at length warned him to
let up. But this only served to
still further arouse the “sec-
ond Jesus'” and he ranted worse
than ever. “You are mean enough
to hit me,” he shouted, “but
you can’t. God won’t let you,”
he yelled, ’’and you have not got
the nerve to try itv” “Haven’t I,
though?” quietly responded the
outraged little pastor. “Well
suppose you just watch and see if
have not. And if you think
your God can protect you, you
had better call on him quick and
fast and a heap of it; for I am
going right now to proceed to un-
joint your neck.” Biff, biff, the
little preacher’s good right shot
out, and down went the “second
Christ” rolling in the dirt and
mud as though he had been
struck with a pile driver or been
kicked by Opper’s famous mule,
“Maud.” As fast as the “reform-
er” got up he was knocked down,
and at length losing all self-con-
trol Brother Charley jumped
astride the long gangling body of
the now demoralized and thor-
oughly frightened fellow and
placing his head “in chancery”
proceeded to maul him in the
manner which he doubtless very
richly deserved and greatly to
the delectation of the large crowd
who a moment before had been
listening in awe and wonder at
the long-haired fellow’s peculiar
kind of “gospel.” The police
finally interferred and took the
“second” and now somewhat
disfigured “Jesus” to jail, where
it is presumed he spent last night
unless the Philippian earthquake
experienced of Paul and Silas
was repealed after we had gone
to press.—The Texarkanian.

Jim Guire, who shot and killed
Will Kirby at Bonham in De-
cember, 1901, was captured at
Athens, Ala., last Saturday and
is now in Bonham jail. The
shooting took place at the saloon
south of the T. & P. depot at
Two Men Lost Their Lives Saturday
and Another Was Dangerously
Wounded.
Last Saturday afternoon be-
tween the hours of 2 and
o’clock a terrible accident occur-
red on the T. & P. near Bagwell
station. Engineer Joe Foard and
Dan O’Keefe, a^watchman in the
yards at Paris, were killed, and
fireman Oscar Herrington was
dangerously injured.
The passenger engine had
“died” at Bagwell and the freight
engine which was at Clarksville
was ordered back to pull the
assenger train into Texarkana,
hile the engine was running
ackwards on a perfectly level,
smooth track it suddenly jumped
off and turned over. The engi-
neer and watchman were caught
under the cab and pinioned tight,
but the fireman was thrown
through the window. The in-
spirator pipe burst and the men
under the cab were scalded from
head to feet.
Fireman Herring soon recov-
ered from his fall and ran to the
assistance of the men under the
cab. There he too was severeiy
scalded and should death come to
him it will come as the result of
having tried to save his com-
panions.
Engineer Joe Ford had been
running on the T. & P. for 20
years and was a very popular
man. He resided for a long
time at Bonham and his remains
were interred there Tuesday.

Strenuous Post Mistress.
From a Texas town a courteous
citizen sent this mild protest
against the too strenuous man-
ners of the “lady postmistress”
to the Postoffice Department at
Washington. “We don’t set up
any claim that our manners are all
they should be but we’d like to be
reasoned with and helped along.
The postmistress here is a worthy
woman, all right, but she certain-
ly is rude and hasty. One day
last week, the mayor being
flushed up and careless, refused to
remove his hat and bow on asking
night and Guire succeeded in ,, , .. ,,

Thanks the Court.
To the Commissioners Court of
Fannin County, Texas: I hereby
extend to you my sincere thanks
and appreciation of the honor
conferred on me by appointing
me purchasing agent for Fannin
County. I accept the trust be-
cause I feel it an honor and also
because I heartily concur in
y^ur every effort to economize. I
assure you that I shall endeavor
to show my appreciation of the
trust you have imposed in me by
giving the matter careful and
business-like attention. Again
thanking you and kindly hoping
that we may be of joint benefit
to the tax-payers I ask for the
hoarty co-operation of the other
county officials. I will give all
people who deal with the courts
a fair and equal chance, I am,
Yours to serve,
Chas. B. White. ,
his fiat was shot off and plumb
ruined. There’s another thing
we don’t think is fair. The post-
mistress won’t let niggers and
greasers come into the office un-
der any consideration. We ain’t
over found of niggers and greas-
ers ourselves, but it is sure dis-
commonding for the leading cit-
izens to have to go to the post-
office personally to get their mail,
just because this lady don’t like
to see anything but a gentlemen.
We don’t like to appear fault-
finding and picayunish where a
lady is .conceroed, but this one I
am talking about is sure arbitrary
and abrupt, and we’d like to have
her toned down some.”
Every
Two Minutes
Physicians tell us that all
the blood in a healthy
human body passes through
the heart once in every two
minutes. If this action be-
comes irregular the whole
body suffers. Poor health
follows poor blood ; Scott’s
Emulsion makes the blood
pure. One reason why
SCOTT’S
EMULSION
is such a great aid is because
it passes so quickly into
the blood. It is partly di-
gested before it enters the
stomach ; a double advan-
tage in this. Less work
for the stomach; quicker
and more direct benefits.
To get the greatest amount
of good with the least pos-
sible effort is the desire of
everyone in poor health.
Scott’s Emulsion does just
that. A change for the
better takes place even be-
fore you expect it.
W e will send you a
sample free.
Be sure that this
picture in the form of
a label is on the wrap-
per of every bo*tle of
Emulsion you buy.

The First Presidential Inauguration.
Both of Washington’s inaugu-
rations were dignified and simple.
On the first occasion Washing-
ton’s own desire was for as little
display as possible, but a grate-
ful and loving people set his
wishes aside, and turned what he
had meant to be a quiet journey
from Mount Vernon to New
York into a triumphal march,
during which he was compelled
to receive the popular adoration
he had won. At Elizabeth Point
in New Jersey, he was met by a
delegation of New York’s citizens
and conducted across the harbor
on a barge of honor, which was
surrounded by an escorting flo-
tilla, and on his arrival at the
Battery, the voices of the great-
er part of the 30,000 people then
composing the city of New York
went up in one great shout of
acclaim. Even then General
Washington expressed his desire
that the oath be administered to
him in private, but he was over-
ruled by his counsellors. At
noon, accordingly, on April 30,
1789, Washington stepped out
upon the balcony of the Federal
Building at the corner of Broad
and Wall Streets. We are told
that he was dressed in a suit of
dark brown broadcloth, white
silk stockings, silver buckles to
his shoes, a steel-hilted dress-
sword at his side, his hair pow-
dered and gathered in a bag. It is
f uther of interest that his clothing
was woven and made on the looms
at Mount Vernon under the watch
ful eye of his wife. An eye-wit-
ness reports that Washington’s
face was grave almost to sadness,
and that his voice was scarcely
audible when, after the oath had
been administered, he bowed,
kissed the Bible, and said in a
deeply solemn tone: “I swear,
so help me God!” Chancellor
Livingston, turned to the crowd,
waved his hand and cried: “Long
live George Washington, Presi-
dent of the United States!” The
cry was taken up by the entire
country. The artillery roared
out its salute and the bells of the
city gave tongue to the words.
Livingston’s method of announc-
ing to the people the fact that
the oath had been taken was
severely criticised as being too
much after the manner of the
monarchial shout of “Long live
the King!” and has never since
been repeated, but in the main
feature the present form of inau-
guration is not found to differ
widely from that set by Wash-
ington.—Everybody’s Magazine.
LEGISLATIVE DOINGS.
Doings and Forecasts of Texas’ Law-
Making Body.
The Senate has passed a bill
placing the oil pipe lines under
the jurisdiction of the Railway
Commission. The Pipe Line
companies are in fact the Stand-
ard Oil Company and have made
it impossible for small concerns
to handle oil at a profit. It is to
be hoped that the Railway Com-
mission will handle the monster wish to be cured of kidney troub-
le without experimenting, do not
DON’T EXPERIMENT.
You Will Make No Mistake If You Follow
Tnis Honey Grove Citizen’s Advice
Never neglect your health. If
you are always tired, or have
pain in the back, urinary disor-
ders, dizzy, or nervous spells, it’s
time to act. These are all symp-
toms of dangerous kidney troub-
les and you should use a remedy
known to cure these toubles
safe and surely. Doan’s Kidney
Pills is that remedy, and if you
without gloves.
The Chambers bill, which
sought to prohibit the solicitation
of orders for intoxicating liquors
in prohibition districts has been
killed. The recent decisions of
the Supreme Court holding that
sales were made at point of ship-
ment and not at destination
knock ed out the hope that the
bill would meet constitutional re-
quirements and its passage was
considered useless.
The House has passed the bill
ncreasing the pay of District
iJudges from $2,500 to $3,000.
Should this bill become a law it
will increase the expense of the
judiciary $35,000 aryear. Learn-
ed lawyers are anxious for the
positions at the salary now paid
and if the peoples’ wishes are
carried out the salaries will not
be increased.
The Season of Lent.
The Lenten season began
Wednesday. This is a season of
fasting and prayer set apart in
commemoration of our Saviour’s
forty-days fast. It begins on
Ash Wednesday and continues
forty-six days exclusive of the
six Sundays. The first Sunday
in Lent is known as Quadragesina,
the fifth as Passion Sunday, the
sixth as Palm Sunday which is
the beginning of Holy Week.
Lent therefor® ends with the ad-
vent of Easter Sunday, which
will fall this year on the 23rd of
April. The Lenten fast is now
observed by the Catholic, Angli-
can and Lutheran churches, by
the Orthodox Greek and other
Oriental churches.

follow the advice of a Honey
Grove citizen and be cured your-
self? J. E. Breckeem, Justice
of the peace, Corner of Sixth and
Hickory Sts., Honey Grove, Tex.,
says: “Seeing Doan’s Kidney
Pills advertised at Dailey & Hen-
derson’s drug store, and hearing
they were a good thing for Kidney
troubles I concluded to give them
a trial. I had a pain or soreness
across my back which gave me
considerable annoyance, especial-
ly When stooping over or in ris-
ing suddenly. After using Doan’s
Kidney Pills I must say I found
quick relief and believe them to
be as advertised a good remedy.”

Beautiful, But Blind.
We know it to be a fact, at
least a reliable person so tells us,
that a woman in this city has
been confined to a dark room for
a fortnight. She sent to Chicago
and got a preparation warranted
to dispose of wrinkles and crow -
feet about the eyes. The result
is the fluid has almost blinded
her.—Denison Gazetteer.
Got Off Cheap.
He may well think, he has got
off cheap, who after fiaving con-
tracted constipation or indigestion
is still able to perfectly restore
his heallh. Nothing will do this
but Dr. King’s New Life Pills.

The Simplon Tunnel.
In the heart of a mountain
chain and nearly six miles from
daylight in either direction, the
two boring parties who have been
at work on the Simplon tunnel
have met. The two parties start-
ed seven years ago, one from the
north and the other from the
south. The calculations were
exact and the two ends of the
bore met. This tunnel will su-
percede the St. Gothard as the
longest tunnel in the world.
Like the St. Gothard, its purpose
is to facilitate transportation be-
tween Switzerland and Italy.
The two governments backed the
enterprise, at a cost of $150,000, -
000.
