Portland, Ore., is making
great preparations for the Lewis
and Clark Centennial, which will
open next year.
McMlllan has withdrawn
from the race for U. S. Senator
in Tennessee, leaving the field to
General Bate, the present in-
cumbent, and one of the heroes
of the battle of Shiloh.
Denton and Dublin'have been
playing some very interesting
games of baseball. In a series
of three games at Denton recent-
ly Dublin won two by scores of 1
to 0, and 6 to 3. Denton won one
game, score 2. to 1.
Gov. Hogg stirred up the ani-
mals at the Houston convention
when he referred to Judge Par-
ker, the nominee for president,
in rather a slighting manner.
The trouble about Hogg is that
he tells too much truth at the
wrong time.
Ex-Gov. Pattison of Pennsyl-
vania died yesterday of pneumo-
nia. _
The two men under arrest for
participating in the train rob-
bery which recently occurred on
the I. & G. N., were given an ex-
amining trial at Oakwoods this
week and were released on bonds
of $500 each.
A meeting of the East Texas
Press Association has been call-
ed to convene in Henderson on
Sept. 22nd, and an excursion to
the World’s Fair has been ar-
ranged, leaving Henderson on
the 23rd.
Arrangements are being
made to introduce the wireless
telegraph in Texas. Two com-
panies are now engaged in the
business of telegraphing without
wires—the DeForest and the
Marconi. The former company
is negotiating for offices in Fort
Worth, Dallas and other Texas
cities.
>iTOR Haltom of the Nacog-
doches Sentinel was one of the
editor-candidates who were suc-
cessful in the recent primaries.
He was nominated for represent-
ative, and will no doubt be elect-
ed. The county has done a wiser
thing than Editor Haltom has, ,
In the second primary in
Smith county Saturday the main
interest centered in the contest
for sheriff and for county judge.
I. S. S. Lyons was elected sher-
iff, over Robinson, the present
incumbent, by about 300 votes.
Lindsey was re-elected county
judge, over Bulloch of Troupe,
by about 40 votes.
A bulletin of the University
of Texas, just received, contains
a number of fine half tone views
in and around the University
buildings at Austin and Galves-
ton. The publication is a work
of art, and a copy should be in
the hands of every person who is
interested in the work of this
great institution.
Jacksonville and Cherokee
county fruit growers are not do-
ing their part towards seeing
that the World’s Fair exhibit of
fruits is properly kept up, Sam
H. Dixon, in the horticultural
building' is in charge of this ex-
hibit, and is anxious for ship-
ments of fresh fruits all during
the Fair. The express companies
will transmit free all packages of
less than 100 pounds in weight,
so if you have something credita-
ble in the fruit line, send a crate
or two to Mr. Dixon and let him
put our products on exhibit,
You can get address cards,, froip
Wesley Love, at Jacksonville.
The Athens Review says that
the T. & N. O. will put on another
train between Athens and Dallas,
leaving Athens about 3 o’clock in
the afternoon and Dallas about 6
o’clock in the morning. We
would be very glad to see this
train come through to Jackson-
ville. _
The attendance at the St.
Louis World’s Fair up to this
•date has been lighter than was
expected. There is ho reason for
this, as it is the greatest show
the world has ever seen, the rail-
road rates are low enough, and
there is plenty of money in the
country. There will no doubt be
an enormous attendance during
September and October, and this
will bring up the average.
From present indications there
will be a large number of candi-
dates fpr the gubernatorial nom-
ination two years hence. Among
those mentioned at the state con-
vention at Houston this week
were Campbell of Palestine, Bell
of Fort Worth, Wells of Browns- East Texas,
ville, Baker of San Angelo, Jest-
er of Corsicana, Crane of Dallas,
and Colquitt of Terrell. fWe
ought to be able to pick a good
governor out of that lot.
Roosevelt wouldn’t allow a
little one-horse postoffice in Mis-
sissippi to be named after Gover-
nor Vardaman, simply because
Vardanian is his political enemy.
When it comes to doing little
things, Roosevelt takes the cake.
The war between Russia and
Japan continues, so we read in
the daily papers, but it is still
quite a tame affair as compared
with what we expected to see at
the beginning. No decisive bat-
tle has yet been fought, and the
winner of the contest cannot be
n§med with any certainty. Japan
still has a little the best of it.
The meeting recently held in
Jacksonville appointed a commit-
tee of twenty-five to visit Califor-
nia and investigate fruit and veg-
etable conditions there, with a
view to organizing our Texas
growers into a more compact
shipping organization. The rail-
roads have not only arranged to
furnish free transportation for
this party, but have also provided
a special Pullman sleeper which
will be at their disposal during
the entire trip. The party will
be made up at Palestine on Au-
gust 15th, and will go from there
to Longview, where they will
take tfie T. & P. to El Paso.
From that point the Southern
Pacific will be used to Los An-
geles and San Francisco, stops
being made at most important
shipping points. The car will
then be started east, by the way
of Ogden and Salt Lake City, into
Denver. From Denver it will... go
to St. Louis, where the party
will break up, each member be-
ing furnished individual trans-
portation home, allowing them to
spend as much time as they de-
sire at the Fair. The trip will
require about fifteen days, from
the time of leaving until St.
Louis is reached. The visiting
committee is composed of the
leading growers and shippers of

A recent order issued by
Supt. Johnson and others hold-
ing like positions with the South-
ern Pacific calls the attention of
employes to- the rules of the
company governing the use of
intoxicants, and states that an
employe who uses intoxicants
while on duty or just previous to
going on duty, so that his effici-
ency is thereby impaired, is lia-
ble to instant dismissal. Booze-
fighting is getting to be a rather
unpopular sport with the busi-
ness world. -
Jacksonville is not the only
place where the town cow has
been up for public discussion.
She lost out here, but was more
successful in Dublin, as the fol-
lowing from the Telephone will
show:
In the recent stock law elec-
tion the cow won out by a small
majority and will be permitted
to continue her ruminations'in
the lanes, streets and alleys,
with an occasional feast on the
housewife’s flower bed or the
farmer’s corn field and a lunch
between times of hay, cotton
seed, flour, meal and such other
delicacies as she can come at ea-
sily in farm wagons on the
streets.
Answering some criticisms
which have recently appeared in
the Democratic-Reporter, Hon.
L. L. Jester of Tyler writes that
no part of the money expended
for social entertainments, recep-
tions, etc., at the Texas building
at the World’s Fair is taken
from the fund subscribed by the
people for the purpose of keep-
ing up the exhibits of the state
in the various buildings ak the
Fair. The money for these so-
cial functions is furnished by
the hostesses and others who
have them in charge, and every
cent of the regular fund is being
expended in the manner origi-
nally intended. Those who have
bfeen. making the kicks have been
misinformed.
Thursday’s Ball Games.
Jacksonville and the Dallas
Tailors played a double-header
Thursday afternoon. The first
game resulted in a score of 10 to
2, in favor of Jacksonville. The
second stood 1 to 1 at the close of
the 12th inning, when the game
was called on account of dark-
ness. _

UNOFFICIAL RETURNS.
Second Democratic Primary Held Saturday, July 30th, 1904.
The tabid given below was compiled from telephonic reports of the election Saturday, and it is!
possible there are several errors in it. In the main, however, it will be found correct. There seemsJ
to be an error in the report of the votes cast for sheriff at Lone Star, and also at Box’s Creek. The!
total vote for sheriff at Lone Star foots up 91, while 81 is the largest number recorded in any otherj
At Box’s Creek, the total for sheriff is 115, against 106 in the other races.
