IK. M Peck, Esq,
Dear Sir We, the undersigned citi-
zens of Dei Ison, desiring to promote the
general welfare of our young and growing
city; recognizing in you those sterling
qualities of heart and intellect, essential
to maintain order, foster and encourage
improvement and growth and to secure to
us the blessings of honest, efficient muni-
cipal government; urgently solicit you to
allow your name to be used as a candi-
date for the office of mayor at the ensu-
ing election. Hoping this request will
meet with your approbation and acaept-
ance, we remain, yours truly

Messrs. W. H. Mott, A. Bales, C. T.
McElvaney and others,
Gentlemen Responding to your call
upon me to become a candidate for the
office of mayor of Denison, I would
say that I will make the race for that
office. The manner in which you have
indicated me to be your choice is more
gratifying than the possession of the
office itselfjwould be without vour good
opinion, and should I be elected I shall
strive to demonstrate that your confidence
is not wholly undeserved.
Recognizing the fact that offices ate
created for the public good and not to en-
rich the incumbents, I assure you that in
case I am elected I shall endeavor to en-
force rigid economy in the administration
ot our city government, and, by enforcing
the laws upon all alike, perforin the judi-
cial duties of that office with the utmost
fairness and impartiality.
The cause of public education being
synonymous with the public good. 1 can-
not refrain Irom assuring you that our
public school, the pride and bulwark of
the city, would receive every encourage-
ment that my election would enable me
to bestow upon it.
In conclusion I will add that If I am
elected my motto shall be, a prompt en-
forcement of the laws, justice to all and
persecution for none.
Thanking you for your confidenc* and
esteem, I am truly your obedient servant,
W. M. Peck.
Denison, Texas, April 25th, 1879-
Strawberry Headquarters.
Wood & Co’s, is the headquarters for
Bush’s large, luscious strawberries.
Fresh berries received from the gardens
every morning. 23 4t
We were yesterday presented by
Mr. Tone with a box of the largest
strawberries we ever saw. They
were so luscious anil tempting that
we could not wait to meisure them
and therefore can’t give the size.
The last one, which was not of the
largest, was covered with sand and
we had to cut it open and dig out
the center. It measured exactly two
inches in diameter. Tone says he
knows they were strawberries and
not pumpkins because be picked
them himself. He says he started to
pick them as they averaged, but had
to pick small ones to get them in the
box, and even then some were bruis-
ed in squeezing in. He has but two
fears in the strawberry business, one
is they get so large and heavy they
bury themselves in the sand and the
other that eyentually he will have to
slice them for market and they wont
Sxamine Your Occupation Tax
Receipts.
Grayson county is just now bless-
ed with a grand jury who are trying
to act the role of great moral reform-
ers. After hunting down every man
in the county who has ever played a
game of cards or done a little work
on Sunday, they have turned their
attention to the collection of occupa-
tion tax. They take the stand that
every man, woman or child whose
tax is not paid to April 1st, must be
indicted. They have compelled Mr.
Etter, the collector, to present his
books, and every one whose tax is
not paid to that date stands indicted.
No matter how rich or how poor,
how prompt or how slow, no matter
if he has for years paid his tax regu-
larly and his quarter ends on the
30th of March instead of the 31st, he
stands indicted, and his name is on
the books ot Grayson county, a
criminal. No option is given to the
collector, no time to warn the people
of this unprecedented action. Mr.
Etter labored long and faithfully to
have this action changed and the
best he could do was to get the
promise that if the delinquent’s tax
is paid within three or font days, be-
fore any papers issue, the matter
shall drop. The Denison list em-
braces torty names, and it behooves
every man to sec whether or not his
is one. Verily, great is the grand
jury of Grayson county.

F. C. J. Lebermann’s.
That Festival.
The ladies of the Denison Liti rai y
Society give an ice cream and straw-
berry festival to-night in the Muller
block. The object is a worthy one
and should meet with an earnest
support from our people, viz: to aid
in the purchase of a public Id r.iry
for this city. The society proposes
to purchase a small library soon, and
to add to it as the demand for books
and increasing membership requires.
The character and social standing of
those having the matter in charge is
a sufficient guarantee that a good
work is being done. The library
will be a public one, that is, free to
all who contribute to its support and
maintenance, and will fill a want
long felt by the people of Denison
We trust there w ill be a good attend-
ance to-night, and that the ladies
may have no berries or cream on
hand to-morrow, hut in their place
lots of cash.
This rain lsjust what we need. The
next best is a pair of glove-fitting boots
or shoes, which you can find cheap for
cash at Donaldson ft Campbell’s, 1st door
east ot Dr. Acheson’s drug store. 24 5
W. M. Peek in the Field.
W. M. Peck, Esq -ire, has recciv-
an earnest call irom a large number
of citizens of the city to allow his
name to go befoie the people as a
candidate for Mayor, and by the cor-
respondence published in another
column it will be seen that lie Iffis
accepted. So far, Mr. Peck is the
only candidate in the field, with the
exception of the present incumbent;
ot course that Major Grubbs is a
candidate is well understood—with
him office-seeking is chronic. It is
quite likely Mr. Peck is the man to
beat Grubbs, if so, then he should
get a rousing support. There should
be no division of the opposition.
We think, candidly, that Mr. Peck
is a little too much inclined to get
onto both sides of a question, and
we like a man who will stand square
up to the racket where the more
timid get weak-kneed, but Mr. Peck,
no doubt, means well, and he has
legal qualifications that fit him for
the duties of the office, and we are
certain he would make a presiding
officer immeasurably superior to the
man now at the head of city affairs.
He is at least a property holder, and
pretty largely interested in the pros-
perity of the city.
It is several weeks, however, be-
fore election, and this matter of the
Mayoralty should be carefully can-
vassed by the people and not hastily
decided. Select the best and the
strongest man and then go for him
solid—whether that man be Mr.
Peck or a “Jaik horse.”
Ladios, Attention!
Mrs BalJrick would respectfully call
the attention of the ladies of Denison to

Editor News:
I wish through the columns of
your excellent paper ! to ask Elder
White, his worthy spouse or any
other diyine, a few questions, a satis-
factory solution ot which would give
peace to many a lxious minds:
(1) What relationship, if any,
does the material or physical organi-
zation bear to the immortal princi-
pal that is supposed to exist in a lu
ture state? (2) Is the mind, soul
and spirit one and the same princi-
pal? (3) It so, what becomes of
this immortal principal when by dis-
ease,'accident or otherwise, the in-
dividual becomes unconscious for
an indefinate length of time? (4)
Does it take its flight to unknown
relms and return when the necessa-
ry repairs have been made and re-
sume the supervision of the tempor-
al tabernacle ? (5) Does the tem-
poral principal retain consciousness
alter dissolution of past and present
or remain blank until the reserrec-
tion ? Truth Seeker.
There is a company organizing in
the city to unit& with a similar com-
pany in Parsons, Kansas, and go by
land to Southern Colorade, and
thence across to Arizona, on a grand
prospecting tour. It is proposed to
have 100 men in the company, with
this force they would be safe in the
northern country.—Sherman Reg-

The North Texas Pomological
| Society having adopted a constitu-
j tion and by-laws and gotten regular-
ly at work, we presume they will
elect permanent officers under the
constitution at the next meeting, Fri-
day afternoon. Judge Bledsoe is
the man should be chosen to preside
over the association, if his judicial
duties will admit of his being pres-
ent at the meetings of the society.
This is an organization that is cal-
culated to do a power of good, not
only for Not th Texas, but for the
whole state, and the best known
men in the fruit business should be
prominently identified with the man-
agement. Such men as Judge Bled-
soe, Judge Andrews, of McKinney,
W. W. Ross, of Dallas, T. V. Mun-
; son, of Denison, Judge Porter, of
j Preston Bend, and others that might
be mentioned, if connected with the
society in such a manner as to lead
the people to believe that their ex-
perience ib to be called into use in
the conduct of its affairs, will give
it character, and insure its perma-
nency and usefullness. We cannct
afford to allow this effort to fail, and
the best means at hand must be
used in the promotion of the objects
aimed at. With the proper men in
the official positions, and working
men on the committees, the success
of the enterprise is assured.— Cou-
rier.

Sorious Danger
Threatens every man, woman or child
living in a region of country whrjc fever
and ague are prevalent, since thegerms-
ol malarial disease are inhaled from the
air and swallowed from the water of such
a region. Medicinal safeguard is abso-
lutely necessary to nullify this danger.
As a means of fortifying and acclimating
the system so as to be abl* to resist the
malarial poison, IlostetterV Stomach Bit-
ters is incomparably the best and most
popular. Irregularities of the Stomach,
liver and bowels, encourage malaria; but
these are speedily rectified by the bitteis.
The functions of digestion and secre ion
are assisted bv its use, and a vigorous as
well as a regular condition pro oted by
it. Constitution and physique are thus
defended against the inroads of malaria
by this matchless preventive, which is al-
so a certain and thorough remedy in Ihc
worst cases ot intermittent and remittent
fevers.
