THE CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN
t-n
:• •
Is growing as warm as the weather, and the friends of the various candidates are very active in their behalf, while the candidates themselves are meeting the
the people at various points in the county to discuss jointly the issues of the canvass. The primary elections to decide who shall be Cooke county's candidate
in the congressional nominating convention will be held next Saturday in all the voting precincts in the county, and If the farmers are not too butty; to *turn
out and vote somebody will be elected, as far as the primaries can accomplish that result.
Have been discussed by the speakers with a view to presenting each candidate in the best possible light, but they neglect to inform the people of their l>est
interests when they fail to tell thein that they should go to Lewin Bros. & Co. for their Dry Goods, Clothing, Boots and Shoes. +
Who to vote for is not a question of so much interest to the people as where they can get the best return for their money. We will do what the candi-
dates may have failed to do; advise them on this point. We will tell the people that when they want anything in the Dry Goods line, in Clothing, in Gents'
Furnishing Goods, in Shoes, Hats, Dress Goods, Carpets, Mattings, Window Shades, Novelties, etc., they should go to Lewin Bros. & Co. and get the worth of
their money.
EARLY J^JSTJD
For the most popular and deserving candidates for public patronage, those who give the most and best goods for the least money, and who always treat their
customers fairly, and let your ballots be for

THURSDAY, JUNE. 21. 1888.
THE CITY.
BRIEF MENTION.
'"Fight fire with fire."
The man who said that two
heada were better than one never
had a boil.
The more school houses and
churches we have the greater will
be the prosperity of our state.
"I say, Jim, if a fellow took
sulphuric acid what would you
give him?" "I'd give him up."
"Whom the gods would destroy
they first make mad," and the
Potter editors are already full of
wrath.
Money is not nearly so valuable
as character, for money can not
buy the respect of thoughtful men
and women.
Wednesday to Paul Gallia for
$3000. Mr. Gallia had several
close competitors, among whom
were representatives of Philadel-
phia and New Albany firms.
The intermittent paragraph
writer of the Register gave vent
to his spleen yesterday morning
through the columns of that paper
in a manner more typical of bloody
garment Ingalls than that of a
Cleveland disciple. "Whom the
gods would destroy they first make
mad."
T. R. Brown, of Greenwood,
was in the city Wednesday ex-
hibiting a two-year-old colt which
he claims the Arabian stock largely <
jredominates. The animal iB as
pretty as a speckled pup, and
showiugji distinguishing charac-
teristics seldom Been in an animal
of the equine order.
Mr. A. Goldstein smole a smile
when we met him yesterday, and
remarked "It's a boy, and the
advent occurred Sunday night,
and he will soon be big enough to
take charge of the counting-room."
ilother and babe doing well, but
the ex-alderman is still quite
feeble, but in all probability will
survive the present attack.
Men who, when that story was
first circulated, were staggered and
contemplated giving their support
to Potter, now give forth no uncer-
tain sound as to their preference,
and instead of quietly recording
their votes as they otherwise
would have done, are working like
>eavers for the gallant little man
whosa good name has been tra-
duced.
Masonic Picnic.
iness. The more this is ventilated, j
the cleaner does the soldier boy / At a meeting of the committees
having the Masonic celebration to
To Bob and Clay: Get your
little boats ready; the Salt river
excursion will embark from this
city about next Saturday.
To some candidates: Young
and tender vegetables ought to be
kept on ice. Otherwise they are
liable to get "shrunk" up.
The dogs of war have been
turned looBe. This has been
caused by so much snapping by
poodles hereabouts of late.
The prospects now are that
Cooke county will make at least
an ayerage crop of cum. Not
much use guessing at cotton yet.
It is said that there are proba-
bly more adult men engaged in
Belling distilled liquors than in
the cultivation of the soil in Cali-
fornia."
Marriage licenses #were issued
Wednesday to S. B. Daws and
Miss Margaret Maupin; Will
McReynolds and Miss Ellie C.
Staples.
Fred Douglas has been on the
mundane shores four score years
and is now in Chicago enjoying
the sights as mucn as any other
coon in the land.
The pastor and congregation of
the First Presbyterian church
return thanks to the firm of Neu-
megen, Zacharias & Co. for their
acceptable present of fana.
It is said that bandana garters
are becoming quite popular in
Fort Worth, but so far as we have
been able to see the new style
has not reached Gainesville yet.
Jamea Jerome, a well-known
cattleman of this country, re-
cently purchased 5000 head o
two-year-eld cattle from the Mate-
dor company in the Panhandle
country.
If all the little, one-horse par-
ties and side-shows didn't pitch
into the Democratic party first
last and all the time, more confi
dence might be felt in their sin
cerity; but in this they all show
the cloven foot.
The contract to furnish the
plate glass for Schiff, Sommer & I against W. O. Davis, and that is
Co.'a new building was let' the story about the land-grab bus.
The sanitary condition of the
city is reported to be good. A
casual glance at the back alleys,
or a sniff at the aroma that arises
therefrom, would not indicate as
much. To say it is bad would
cause us to be denounced as injur-
ing the city, of course. They
never consider it an injury to the
to the city for everyone to be sick
and the city to have the name of
being unhealthy.
It seems almost certain that
there will be a Democratic county
convention for the nomination of
candidates for county offices. This
is a year when the Democratic
party of Texas cannot afford to
stand idly by and suffer inroads
made through its ranks by any
form of opposition whatever. We
have promised 175,000 majority,
and unless we guard the outer
walls we may be unable to fulfill
our promise.
The Cooke county exhibit should
be made a grand success at the
Dallas State Fair the coming fall.
Every farmer, stock-raiser, horti-
culturist, artist, mechanic and
manufacturer should prepare
something for the county exhibit.
It is only in this way that success
can be achieved, for it may be
taken for granted that competition
for the $500 premium will be
close, and that the coveted prize
will be hotly contested.
In all this oontest, one thing
and one thing only has been urged
appear in the eyes of the enlight- 1
ened people of this county, and
instead of Davis suffering, the
very men who have so unworthily
and wantonly striven to tarnish
his good name, are the men who
now, upon their own confession,
are bedaubed with the slime of
their own creation.
A lady arrived from the South
last night oyer the Santa Fe road.
She had four little children and
was enroute to Gainesville, but
when she reached Dallas her
money was exhausted and she
could proceed no further. In this
plight she hailed Mr. E. G. Rust
who was passing the depot during
the rain lastniglit, and related her
story of desolation. He sent her
to the St. James hotel and to-day
succeded in raising money to send
her to her destination.—Dallas
Times.
T. R. Brown, a prominent
farmer of Wise county, was in the
city Wednesday, and stated while
here that Billy Davis is very pop-
ular in that county, and no doubt
but what its vote can be secured
for him in the event he carries
Cooke county in the present con-
test. He stated further that Mr.
Potter had a following there, but
on account of his connection with
a national bank he was not pop-
ular with the masses. As to Mr.
Bell, he said, Bob would stand
no show whatever as the people
have no particular confidence in
him.
lheir Businees Booming.
Probably no one thing has
caused such a general revival of
trade at Gilcreeat & Co.'s drug
store as their giving away to their
customers of so many fr6e trial
bottles ol Dr. King's New Discov-
ery for consumption. Their trade
is simply enormous in this very
valuable article from the fact that
it always cures and never disap
points. Coughs, colds, asthma
bronchitis, croup, and all throat
and lung diseases quickly curnd.
You can test it before buying by
getting a trial bottle free, large

Sore Throat
Is particularly favorable to the
contraction of diphtheria. Heed
the warning, and use Darbys Pro-
phylactic Fluid. It at once allays
the inflammation of the throat,
subdues the pain and gives per-
manent relief. It promptly and
affectually destroys all contagion
and diphtheritic germs. It is a
safeguard against diphtheria, and
should be use on the first symp-
toms of sore throat as a gargle.

Who Commenced tkis Personal War? {
Intermittent editors of the Reg- j
ister have been trying to injure;
Mr. Davis over the shoulders of
the proprieter of this paper, con-
cerning strictly a personal matter
of his, for several days. And now,
gentlemen, if you get worsted in
this contest of words, for the sake
of manhood don't play the role of
a booby. It is true the proprietor
of this paper has been absent for a
week, and is net aware of the
cowardly attacks some of these
striplings have been trying to
make upon him with all their
feeble might; but then the boys
ar6 at home, and feel perfectly
confident that they are able to
cope with all the fusilades sent
out by these cubs, and as they are
also loaded for antiquated "bar,"
they have no timid feelings about
meeting the grizzly denizens of the
jungle. We are on the defense.
Notice of Final Settlement.
All persons interested in the

Cooke County's Horses.
The government officials leave
to-day (Thursday) over the Santa
Fe for the city of San Antonio#
the headquarters for the Depart-
ment of the Southwest. We took
pains to see them after the day's
wora yesterday and learned from
them that they had accepted 73
horses from this place of a quality
lhat will fill the wants of the
army. They shipped them last
night on the Santa Fe, four cars in
all, and they distributed about
$9000, and are bo well pleased
that they will report most favora-
bly to Gen. Stanley, that the
place will in the future be rather
more of headquarters for such
business. We know our farmers
hare been greatly interested in
this new market for their stock,
and whereas a great many of them
have not brought their horses in,
they have found that by raising
good stock they can realize on
them very handsomely in the
future. A good horse can always
find a market hereafter. And we
are glad to have sjch pleasant
gentlemen come amongst us, and
we assure them that if in the
future they favor our locality we
will give them the best we have
in the locker.
