When it comes to raising Irish
potatoes? Greely, Col., takes the
lead. A report from that point
states that there is hardly suffi-
cient old stock on hand to supply
the demand, and that the market
is getting stronger. Prices now
range from $1.40 to $1.50 per
bushel, and it is thought they
will go considerably higher.
They expect to have all their
stock disposed of by May 1st.
Tomatoes are reported one
week earlier than last year at
Crystal Springs, Miss. The
“traditional date” for setting the
plants in the field at that point is
April 1st, but they have been put
out about a week earlier than
that this year. It would seem
that East Texas has the lead of
Mississippi this year by about
a week or ten days, as onr plants
have been in the field ten days or
two weeks._
Senator Burton of Kansas
stands convicted by the federal
court for receiving money in ex-
change for his influence in pro-
tecting the interests of the Rialto
Grain and Securities Co. of St.
Louis, a fraudulent concern
which operated extensively
through the mails. It is alleged
that Burton was instrumental
in preventing the issuance of a
fraud order against the concern.
He will appeal the case.
Judge Gerald of Waco is a
candidate for congress against
R. L. Henry._
Hon. C. C. Stokes of Houston
county may be a candidate for
state senator.
Texas strawberries have been
shipped as far as New York this
season. Prices are fine.
Judge Parker seems to be
the most popular candidate for
the democratic nomination for
the presidency.
Col. James H. Jones died at
his home in Henderson Saturday,
after a short illness. Col. Jones
was one of the pioneer lawyers
and statesmen of East Texas.
He served during the Confeder-
ate war with distinction, and was
wounded at the battle of Mans-
field, being promoted to the rank
of lieutenant-colonel for gallant-
ry in this fight. He served sev-
eral terms in congress, and was
finally defeated by Kilgore.
The public schools were dis-
missed yesterday, on account of
the f uneral of Mrs. R. B. Alexan-
der, a sister-in-law of Prof. Jen-
kins, one of the teachers.
“The Times of India.”
Wm. Nunley, in the United
States naval service, aboard the
cruiser San Francisco, is a son of
Robt. Nunley of this city. The
San Francisco does considerable
traveling about the world, and
Mr. Nunley hears from his boy
usually about once a month.
His ship was at Bombay, India,
recently, and while there he
mailed his father a copy of the
“Times of India,” a newspaper
published in English, and dated
March 4th.
The Times is quite a curiosity
to the American newspaper man.
In form it resembles closely the
English newspaper, with wide
columns and large pages. The
columns of the paper are about
50 per cent wider than standard,
and the pages are nearly twice as
large as those of this paper.
There are eight pages, printed on
one large sheet, which measures
about 5x6 feet. When you get
through reading the four out-
side pages you have to open up
and reverse the entire sheet,
which is an awkward operation
to one accustomed to the conve-
nient form in which American
papers are printed and folded.
The advertisements are queer-
ly gotten np, old style faces of
type being used, only one or two
modern styles being shown any-
where in the paper. There are
several American ads., among
them being one for Pabst beer,
one for the Remington type-
writer, another for the Yost, and
one for the mechanical piano
player known as tne Pianola.
The reading matter for the
Times is set by the linotype,
America’s great typesetting
machine, which has penetrated
the most remote parts of the
civilized world.
Attention, all, just hear awhile,
We’ll talk to you in ice cold style,
And ask you now, please call
around,
To this, the coolest place in
town.

school building ever since, im-
provements and additions having
been made from time to time.
The origin of the fire is un-
known. _
Regarding the Public School.
A mass meeting of the citizens
was held at the court house Tues-
day afternoon to determine what
to do in regard to continuing the
public school. A large number
of the representative citizens
were present and much interest
manifested. The management
of the Baptist College kindly
placed a number of rooms in that
building at the disposal of the
public school faculty, and the
offer was accepted and a rising
vote of thanks tendered the col-
lege authorities for their kind-
ness. Prof. Frank Gibson an-
nounced that school would begin
at the college Wednesday morn-
ing and the term last seven or
eight weeks longer.
A petition was gotten up to
call a city election to vote off the
present city corporation in order
that the town can be made into
an independent school district.
The majority of those present
signed it and it is thought the
requisite one hundred signatures
will be secured and an election
held at once. It is necessary
immediate action be taken in
order that a new school house
can be completed in time for the
fall term of school. We believe
the majority of the people are in
favor of erecting a building that
Rusk will be proud of for years
to come.___
